Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I've only tried brussels sprouts for the first time in my 30s. I think I always had this idea in my mind that they just weren't all that exciting. Ever since I learned how to cook them though, they've been our go-to for every holiday. Garlic and parmesan are always the answer.

Scalloped Sweet Potatoes

Add 1/4 c orange juice. This can also be done as a traditional casserole with mashed sweet potatoes in the crock pot! Just cube your sweet potatoes, cook for 3.5 hours on high, mash and top with marshmallows. Pop the casserole under the broiler for about 20-30 seconds for the perfect toast.

Autumn Harvest Honeycrisp Apple & Feta Salad

With all of the heavy dishes that tend to come with the holidays, a seasonal salad is a nice way to add in something a little lighter. These salad servers are so chic and are under $20.
