Here’s a hip holiday side dish from my friends at Boudro’s and Zinc. The roasted butternut squash is an awesome addition to a bacon Brussels sprouts hash that takes mere minutes on the stove to prepare!
Sides
Chi’Lantro’s Famous Kimchi Fries
The Original Kimchi Fries from Chi’Lantro in Austin contain a mount of crispy fries, topped with caramelized kimchi, two kinds of cheese, cilantro, onions, magic sauce, Sriracha, and sesame seeds. A Korean-American fusion food we couldn’t be more behind!
Casserole Queens Spicy Mac and Cheese
I’m lucky to have this recipe from the Casserole Queens! This mac and cheese relies on a few more greens then you’re used to – the green onion in particular for that extra pop! Enjoy everyone.
Duck Fat and Thyme Marble Potatoes
Texas Hill Country Marble potatoes cooked in rendered duck fat with thyme and garlic from Chef Robbie Nowlin of Boudro’s Texas Bistro and Zinc Bistro & Bar. A nice addition to any holiday table!
Sweet Chile Brussels
Those AMAZING Brussels Sprouts from The Garden Company Marketplace & Café that taste unlike any I’ve ever had! Here they’re re-done by H-E-B Cooking Connection, as seen on Goodtaste with Tanji…
Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots
I love this recipe! It’s so easy. It helps if you have a food processor with a slicer blade.
Helen’s Creamed Corn
My beloved Mother-in-law made this dish every single holiday, and we never got enough of it. It’s wonderful, and I always think of dear Helen when I prepare it now.
Barbaresco’s Polpette di Campagnia, Campagnia Meatballs
These hand made meatballs with a buffalo mozzarella center and Italian San Marzano tomato sauce are incredible. Pair with a rich Primativo or Tuscan blend and you’ve got a great combination.
Tempura Fried Haricot Verts with Green Goddess
Crispy, crunchy tempura fried green beans with homemade Greek Goddess dressing for dipping!
Pad Phet Thua (Wok Chili Green Beans)
Stir fry green beans with zest and spice! These Wok Chili Green Beans come from my friends at Songkran Thai Kitchen in Uptown.

A recent contest held at Max’s Wine Dive revealed a classic entry to their ‘mac & cheese’ challenge! This melted, cheesy concoction from Catalyst Catering combines a number of exotic cheeses – and bacon! – to form the ultimate critics’ choice.
Prego’s Milky Macaroni & Cheese
Prego is a real gem in Rice Village…and much like the popular neighborhood trattorias of Italy! Indigenous ingredients come together in a splendid Béchamel Sauce you can make yourself – Bravo!
Smoky Brussels Sprouts with Chorizo
This recipe comes from H-E-B Cooking Connection. A sweet, smoky dish just in time for the holidays! The Brussels sprouts caramelize beautifully and chorizo adds a South Texas twist .
