For a side dish, Miller prepares a colorful and flavorful roasted vegetable medley, featuring Brussels sprouts, carrots, and sweet potatoes. The vegetables are seasoned with a mixture of honey and Dijon mustard, and roasted until tender and caramelized. To accompany the meal, Miller whips up a batch of creamy mashed potatoes that are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
No holiday meal is complete without dessert, and Miller has two quick and easy recipes to share. The first is a classic pumpkin pie, made with a store-bought crust and a simple filling of pumpkin puree, spices, and condensed milk. For a more unique option, Miller also demonstrates how to make a cranberry apple crisp, featuring sweet apples and tart cranberries baked with a crunchy oat crumble topping.
Throughout the episode, Miller shares tips and tricks for making holiday meals ahead of time, so that busy hosts can spend more time enjoying their company on the day of the event. She also highlights ways to use leftovers in creative and delicious ways, from a turkey and cranberry panini to a sweet potato and vegetable frittata.
