You can’t go wrong with a side of toast and homemade jam served alongside your breakfast steak and eggs. And don’t forget to have all the condiments on hand—hot sauce, ketchup and steak sauce are a few of our favorites.

Deviled potatoes are a lovely, bite-sized snack for parties but are especially perfect for spring and summer potlucks or as easy Easter appetizers. Set them out with other favorites like creamy dill dip with veggie sticks, stuffed mushrooms or mini quiches. Since they’re so easy to make, you can even serve deviled potatoes as a side dish with roast chicken, your favorite steak recipe or a vegetarian main dish like mushroom burgers.
Red cabbage salad is a crunchy, refreshing side that complements a variety of dishes. It’s excellent alongside tender proteins like barbecue chicken, smoky sausages or grilled salmon filets. Pair it with slow-cooker pulled pork as an alternative to creamy coleslaw, or you could even use it as a topping on a shrimp po’boy or any other sandwich traditionally topped with slaw.
To make a hearty meal, serve the casserole alongside meaty dishes such as roasted sausages, mushroom-beef carbonnade or pan-seared lamb chops.
Salty snacks are the key to aperitivo hour. Think: an antipasto platter or a charcuterie board with olives, chips, cured meats and almonds. Any Italian appetizers will work, as long as they make you say “mmm” between sips.
This gingerbread ice cream shines on its own! Garnish scoops with gingerbread men cookies, a drizzle of caramel sauce and homemade whipped cream. If you want to pair gingerbread ice cream with something else, add a scoop on a slice of apple or pumpkin pie, or sandwich it between oatmeal cookies for a spiced twist on an ice cream sandwich. And if you need even more gingerbread spice in your life, make a gingerbread loaf or gingerbread cake with caramel sauce.
Garlic Parmesan melting cabbage is just wonderful partnered with hearty meat dishes and spuds as part of a cold-weather dinner. I like to serve it with buttermilk mashed potatoes and slow-cooker pot roast, or alongside a roasted chicken with rosemary and a generous helping of roasted honey sweet potatoes.

There are lots of delicious toppings that will enhance the flavor and texture of peanut butter overnight oats. For fruity oats, try chopped apples, sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries or raisins. You could even add a spoonful of fruit jam for PB&J oats.

I love braised cabbage with meatloaf and mashed potatoes, but it goes perfectly with any rich, meaty main dish. Corned beef and cabbage are a classic pairing, but braised cabbage would be delicious with a pork roast, slow-cooker brisket or roast chicken.
