A Girl, a Gay & a Thermo

It's time for the real stars of Christmas lunch; the sides and the saucy bits that make the meal actually memorable. We're talking crispy potatoes, roast veg that even sprout-haters will eat, family tradition faves, and a very passionate debate about gravy vs all the other sauces (yes, apple, cranberry and mint are all invited).And because it's December, we're also diving into Carols by Candlelight - where the frocks can be questionable and the notes even more so. Grab a plate, pour the gravy generously and join us for the most delicious supporting acts of Christmas.Smashed potatoes with rosemary salthttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r89824Potatoes with gremolatahttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r793916Potato stacks with parmesan and thymehttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r829560Potato gratinhttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r802573Honey parmesan parsnipshttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r491058Shredded brussel sprout salad with bacon and cranberrieshttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r820102Beetroot saladhttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r66852Steamed greens with lemon fetahttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r90565Apple cider saucehttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r555867Mint saucehttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r398530Gravyhttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r406851Cranberry and cherry saucehttps://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r89833You can find Bronte and Erin at;https://www.instagram.com/a_girl_a_gay_and_a_thermo/https://www.instagram.com/illhavewhatshesmixinghttps://www.instagram.com/homo_with_a_thermo/
