Side dishes enhance the main course and really round out your meals. They might not be the star of the show, but these tasty dishes are just as memorable!
Back in our camping days, we used to stop at a little Mom & Pop grocery store where they sold homemade salads. One of our favorites was a green pea salad with bacon and cheese. I’ve tried many recipes trying to find one that closely resembled the pea salad that we enjoyed and finally, came […]
A good friend of mine recently went to a potluck luncheon and this is one of the dishes she feasted on. She requested the recipe, which her neighbor graciously shared, so that I could share it with you. According to the notes on the recipe card, this salad can be served warm or cold (I […]
Have you ever pulled some meat out of the freezer for dinner but can’t decide what to serve with it? While that meat is thawing out, cook up a pot of white rice (you’ll need 4 cups for this recipe). I usually under cook my rice by about 2 minutes as it’s going to be […]
Thirty five years ago, I cleaned houses on the side to supplement my income. One of the ladies I worked for often offered me a sandwich for lunch. One of the dishes she made that was so memorable was turkey salad. She shared the recipe and I’ve made it many times throughout the years. Sadly, […]
Recently I baked some chicken for dinner and realized I didn’t have any potatoes for a side dish. I quickly ran to my computer in search of a quick and easy side dish recipe with ingredients that I had in my pantry. This dish was flavorful, moist and tender. The only change I made was […]
I’m always clipping recipes out of magazines or newspapers and I place them in a shoe box labeled “Recipes to try”. Well, today I went through some of those recipes in search of a dish to go with my oven fried chicken and I came across this recipe. Since I had all of the ingredients […]
Who doesn’t LOVE macaroni & cheese? Aah…that would be me. I think that stems back to 50 years ago, when my first child was born. He arrived 13 weeks early and with the mounting hospital bills, we ate macaroni & cheese every night, because quite frankly, that’s all we could afford. Back then mac & […]
Years ago I purchased a big bag of Vidalia onions from the Shriner’s (a fundraiser) and they handed me a leaflet with recipes. One recipe, for onion pie, caught my eye, but I never got around to trying it. Recently I came across the recipe and decided to try it. It was AMAZING! I tweaked […]
What could possibly be more American than a side of creamy potato salad? Mom used to make a HUGE bowl of this for our summertime family reunions and there were never any leftovers. My uncles would mosey over to the bowl and fill their plates like it was their last meal. Of course Mom was […]
This texture of this cheesy casserole reminds me of a quiche…it just melts in your mouth. My family likes meat, so I sometimes add ham or bacon and I’ll toss in a few extra spices to kick it up a notch, but let me say, it is very tasty just as it is. I hope […]
