I'm all about tradition — especially when it comes to holiday cooking — but sometimes, I like to keep things interesting by adding spice to a dish on my table, too. I find the combination of nostalgic and nuanced plates to be comforting and refreshing.
This year, I'm coming for side dishes — no carrots, broccoli, or green beans are safe from the spice. Even my cranberry sauce is getting a major upgrade.
