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!
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 […]
A friend and co-worker of mine brought this delicious salad to work for our pot-luck luncheon. The combination of quinoa ,kale and corn in itself is delish, but adding pecans, beans and creamy avocado with a refreshingly light dressing, transforms it into a spectacular dish. Everyone , including myself, asked for the recipe. So, here […]
Oh how I love Thanksgiving and all the traditional dishes we had to go with the golden bird. This was my mother’s dressing recipe. I’ve tried many recipes through the years, but this has always been my favorite.
Taffy apple salad is packed with flavor, has just the right amount of crunch and is super delicious. You’ll be tempted to eat the whole bowl! Thanks to my sister Kathy for sharing this recipe with me!
My mother-in-law went to Oregon and while driving through Nebraska, she picked up a cook book for me. I tried many of the recipes…and this one was my favorite. It’s a “must have” on every major holiday.
My old friend Sudesh shared this recipe with me almost 50 years ago. It’s a savory mix of chick peas, tomatoes, garlic, onions and spices…lots of spices, simmered to perfection. The chick peas are served with Roti or Naan bread. I cook the chick peas in a pressure cooker, but the old stove top method […]
I was skeptical to make this for my family, as they are not big fans of raw spinach. Much to my surprise, they came back for seconds. The dressing is made the night before and is poured over the salad just before serving . Thanks to my good friend Carol for sharing this fabulous recipe. […]
I’ve been serving these potatoes for many years, usually with ham. The potatoes cook into a tender pillow of goodness, in a creamy sauce laced with cheddar cheese.
Nothing’s better than hot biscuits , fresh out of the oven, smothered in sausage gravy , with a couple of fried eggs and a hot cup of coffee. This sausage gravy is rich and creamy with chunks of sausage. If you own a cast iron skillet, I would recommend using it for a nice, brown […]
