With the holiday season right around the corner, try these calorie-conscious side dishes that are sure to wow your friends and family. I’ve always been a fan of rosemary, and it truly brings the flavor to party in these bone broth mashed potatoes! The Cranberry Citrus Kale Salad is a great option for making ahead and tossing just before serving for a crisp and fresh flavor. The Toasted Sesame Green Bean Almondine is one of my personal favorites, a modern twist on a classic dish! These dishes are also great to incorporate in your own meal prep.
