The Freshman Cook: Autumn Veggies with Rice / #TasteCreations

Every holiday, I like to try new side dishes. I love making my old favorites, but it is fun to try new ones. Sometimes the new ones go over well with my family and sometimes, well, not so good! This year my new dish is this Autumn Veggies with Rice. It is simple, tasty, and it will be joining my list of holiday side dishes! 
At the bottom of this post, check out the list of new side dishes from fellow members of the #TasteCreations group, and find even more side dishes for the holidays in the link up!
