I’m floored at the response this month to the Side Dish Showdown event! And absolutely thrilled. I had no inkling it would be such a hit when I started. The approximately 60 entries I received this month have caused me to re-think the entire event. It will now be a weekly event held on Saturdays. I’m going to spend the upcoming week revamping things and giving it a makeover. Please watch for the announcement next Saturday where I will reveal more of the details.
The round-up is going to be broken up into three delicious posts! I’m posting them in the order I received them, if you sent me more than one I may not of grouped them together.
Please follow the links through for the recipes and more information on the dishes that appeal to you.
