You may or may not have noticed the big ol’ Love Grown button on my sidebar lately. I’m lucky enough to be one of their Love bloggers, which means I’m also lucky enough to receive a hefty amount of their amazing granola several times a year. But y’all? I don’t want to keep it all in – it’s time to spread the love!
If you haven’t ever read my reviews on Love Grown before, just know this: this is the best granola that I have ever had. It’s addicting (I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Raisin Almond Crunch) to the point that this previous granola-hater eats it by the handful straight from the bag. It’s amazing and that’s just that.
There will be two winners picked from this weekend contest, which is open to US residents only (sorry to my international readers…customs and shipping prices are a little too much for our pocketbook right now!). Just leave a comment answering this question:
What is your all-time favorite holiday side dish? OR What is your all-time favorite holiday dessert?
Simple, right? No wrong answers, just a lot of really good food…and you could win some incredible granola that you will not be able to put down! Contest ends Sunday night at 12am MST, and I’ll announce the winner on Monday!

Stuffing is my all time favorite holiday side dish!
I love brussel sprouts as a sid dish 2 different ways: 1. steamed and drizzled with balsamic vinegar and 2. steamed then cut into managble pieces sauteed with chopped garlic
cranberry sauce, HANDS DOWN! the turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing are practically bland and sad without the sweet cranberries on top! yummm!
My dad’s mashed potatoes are divine. I am sad I won’t be having them this year 🙁
mashed sweet potatoes with butter!!
pumpkin cheesecake, totally.
Stuffing-made by my mom-though I do NOT want to know the nutrition facts!
It’s tough but I would have to say turkey with cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie for the dessert!
I love cranberries and stuffing. Not sure why I only eat it on Thanksgiving!
*mama’s
OMG I love the mashed potatoes! and Mam’s cheesecake…..it’s different every holiday!
I spend every Thanksgiving (every holiday really) with my grandma and grandpa – and grandma always makes a banana cream pie for me… the memories are so sweet.
(and stuffing, hands down, as a side dish!!)
I cannot have a holiday without the green bean casserole!
I love Love Grown Granola!! My favorite holiday dessert/side dish would be strawberry pretzel salad. We serve it as a side dish since it’s called a salad but the cream cheese and buttery pretzel crust make it taste like a dessert:).
Chips and homemade salsa!
Very easy question.
Pecan pie.
Been having it since I was a kid and my great grandmother made it so it’s a staple for me.
Sweet potato casserole is my favorite, for sure! Sooo good!
I usually love the side dishes more than the main event but it’s hard to beat simple homemade mashed potatoes.
I love turkey and ham, but also green beans with bacon that my grandma makes…too good! Favorite dessert is easily pizelles Grandma also makes, yum!
Hm, you know, this is a hard one! I really love candied yams, baked sweet potatoes, and pecan pie. I think those are my top choices for Thanksgiving…but I don’t think I can choose just one!
My favorite side dish is definitely my mom’s corn casserole! Yum!
Apple pie!
My favorite holiday dessert is pecan pie… mmmmm
I can’t wait until thanksgiving!! 🙂
green bean casserole hands down… nothing fancy but amazing!
I love granola and would love to try this. My favorite side dish would have to be the sweet potatoes. Love ’em! My favorite dessert is the buche de noel. Make many every year as gifts t0o!
I’m Japanese, so we have the normal turkey/stuffing deal, but also sushi and other Japanese food as side dishes. 🙂
A classic pumpkin pie with a dollop of fresh whipped cream on top!
I’d have to pick my mama’s dressing as a side dish, so good I can eat it cold! I love all dessert, but cranberry salad is my constant fave.
I love the holiday desserts! Can’t wait to enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie and a slice of pecan pie – yum! 🙂
It’s hard to narrow down, but sweet potato casserole is my favorite side and pecan pie is by far my favorite dessert!!
For me, I most look forward to creamy mashed potatoes and delicious turkey gravy with a little stuffing mixed in for good measure!
I’m looking forward to my grandma’s candied yams and potato salad! Now that I live in a different state than my grandparents, its always so comforting to come back to the same delicious, home-cooked dishes 🙂
Candied yams!
my grandma’s jello
Apple pie all the way!!! I bet that sweet cranberry pecan granola would make a perfect crumb topping too…
Hands down, favorite thing to eat during the holidays is pumpkin pie…minus the crust! 🙂
I love my mom’s mashed potatoes filled with sour cream & cream cheese, then smothered with gravy! YUM.
My grandmother and now my mother makes this stuffing (well technically dressing) that is my absolute favorite. They fry up some onions and sage and mix it with old bread, or better matzoh, and some stock and eggs and make it until it’s crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s amazing.
fried cauliflower
Mashed potatoes. Hands down. It’s just not the same without them.
Cranberry-Jalapeno salsa with Fritos. MMMM!!
Thanks for the chance, would love to try this 🙂
Absolute favorite side dish…mashed potatoes!!!
I love my grandma’s cheesy potatoes.
Creamy pumpkin pie!!!
My mom’s Pumpkin Crisp recipe wins hands down! It’s certainly not healthy fare, but it’s delicious!
I LOVE my mom’s peanut brittle. She only makes it during the holidays, but when she makes it, she makes it by the pound! Soooo good.
Without a doubt that would have to be homemade pecan pie. I only make it during the holidays and I look forward to it all year round.
I love stuffing! But, it might be tied with the sweet potato casserole.
Definitely candied yams/sweet potatoes. Now I bake a double batch, because I can eat a whole casserole full of them all by myself! 🙂
Sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie. oh yes i can’t wait!!
Thanksgiving my favorite dessert is my mom’s pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. Christmas I love anything peppermint.
Favorite holiday dessert? My Mammaw Dot’s Google Gaggle poured over Coconut Cake! It’s like a vanilla custard. So amazing!
I love love pumpkin pie!
I love, love, love! Pumpkin Pie.
Definitely all about pumpkin pie!
Green-bean casserole!
I am going to answer both just because I love both questions equally….1. Holiday side dish is sweet potato casserole and 2. Favorite dessert is pecan pie. 🙂 Bring on the holidays!!
Oh gosh, how about just tradition potatoes and gravy for my favorite holiday side dish? Oh wait, I have to have stuffing in there too!! yummmy!
You can’t beat good old roast potatoes – so simple but SO good when done right!
YUM!!! I’m looking forward to Raw Pumpkin Pie this Thanksgiving:)
This granola looks fantastic! I’m sort of a finicky granola person – if I find one I love, I really love it, but some just don’t do it for me. So, I’d love to try this one!
My fav holiday side dish is pretty traditional, mashed potatoes with turkey gravy! So good…total comfort food. 🙂 My favorite dessert is pretty hard to pick! Of course I love the traditionals that we always do at Thanksgiving, but my mom and I have a tradition of doing a sort of crazy complicated dessert for Christmas (usually something we’ve never tried before!) One of my favorites was a peppermint-chocolate cake – it was marbled with three batters (vanilla, chocolate, and pink-dyed peppermint) and then frosted with a peppermint marshmallow frosting and topped off with candy cane sprinkles. So delicious and festive!
i love pumpkin pie more than anything 🙂
I think I have a different answer every day, but sweet potato casserole with pecans and brown sugar on top is usually what I have seconds (and thirds) of!
Pumpkin pie all the way.
