Here at The Kitchn, we don’t like to think of ourselves as food snobs. We bear semi-secret loves for boxed mac and cheese and Velveeta. We keep frozen pie crust in the freezer (and maybe a pizza or two).

The question, “What’s for dinner tonight?” is often the easy one to answer. It’s the next question that’s tough: “What goes with it?” Do your answers reveal you’re stuck in side dish monotony? The side salad rut? Let us help. Here are 25 simple side dishes that will bring some life back into supper matchmaking. Every one of these is green, fresh, and super simple — not counting salt and oil, I don’t think any of them have more than six ingredients to juggle.

Time to freshen up the side dish routine for spring — snap up some asparagus and toss with pecorino; spiralize a zucchini; stir-fry tender greens; roast a head of cabbage.

You may think that we’re emerging from casserole season — all those pans of bubbling cheese and pasta, creamy and filling, seem to belong squarely to wintertime. Casseroles are the dishes that keep you warm when an extra pair of socks just doesn’t do the trick. But casseroles can be so much more than that — they can take you right into spring with their easy, one-dish approach.

These 12 casserole recipes are the lighter, healthier versions of their cold-weather counterparts – piled with vegetables, lightened and freshened up for spring, but wholly comforting and delicious.
