There is nothing wrong with kugel, in fact, we have almost 30 kugel recipes on this site.  I just thought some of you would be looking for new side dish recipes.  We all know kugels can be made ahead and reheat well and are staples in most Ashkenazi homes on Shabbat.  In addition to your new and old kugel recipes, we need more sides with grains or vegetables and lots of flavor.  

Check out 13 sides you can make for Shabbat that are not kugels.

    In the gallery of images there are titles under each image that is linked to the recipe – can you try that? If you don’t see them, try either refreshing the page or closing the gallery and going back into it.

    I love Pioneer Woman’s pasta salad…. so good. I use rotini pasta instead of elbow. Easy to make ahead of time and just pull out of the fridge when ready.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I make a rice side dish that I first encountered as part of a meal I received from a friend after delivering my daughter. It consists of basmati rice, yellow and green onions and craisins.

    Favorite side would have to be a veggie, even in kugel form. I need something to balance the refined carb heavy sides.

    My favorite side dish is raspberry crumble: this is similar to the recipe I use, but I substitute oil for butter and it still comes out great. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/apple-raspberry-crumble-with-oat-walnut-topping-recipe.html

    My favorite Shabbat side dish is Crispy Smashed Za’atar Potatoes. So easy to prepare yet looks so gourmet and yummy:
