Starchy Side Dishes

Starchy side dishes are the best! Easy to make in advance (starch holds heat the longest!), great for potlucks, and let's just be honest about having never met a potato we couldn't get on board with.

If you're in a summer era, grab this truly insane vegan pasta salad with roasted veggies. For Thanksgiving, Potatoes Romanoff is wonderful. On weeknights, make some quick pesto rice with jarred or frozen pesto and pair it with your favorite protein. YUM.
