Easter is a time for bunny rabbits and family, chocolate eggs and togetherness, candy and… candy. But also special dinners for friends and loved ones. Let us help reduce the stress and release the joy; two sides here are the perfect accompaniment to any Easter protein. Buttery sweet carrots and cheesy potatoes are both easy to make and thoroughly amazing to consume. Happy Easter from Home Chef!
Tip: Want to make quick work of mincing the chives? Hold them in one direction in one hand and use clean scissors to snip.
