Miso Sauce with Almonds

My daughter has been studying Japan in school this past month and we’ve been trying a few different recipes from there. This turned out pretty good over ramen style noodles. I also tossed in some lightly steamed veggies.

Ham Fried Rice Recipe

We make this dish at least once every couple of weeks. It’s a great way to use up leftover ham from the holidays. Just chop it up and freeze it in 1/2 cup portions, then use throughout the next few months. You can also cook a couple of scrambled eggs with this to make it [...]

Marinated Roasted Red Bell Peppers

When I’m reading through recipes like the one below – and looking at that beautiful image – I really wish I could can. Never tried my hand at canning, but these marinated Roasted Red Bell Peppers look yummy. They would make a beautiful gift too and what a great way to preserve the harvest from [...]

Red Potato Pancakes with Rosemary

This is a “fancy” version of plain old potato pancakes. They are great as a snack or a side dish. My kids like to dip them in Greek style yogurt. Be sure to make plenty cause they will gobble these up faster than you can fry ‘em.

Greek Insprired Vegetable Kebabs

These Greek inspired veggie kebabs with feta cheese are my new favorite side dish anytime we grill outside. I can prepare them ahead of time and enjoy time with the family while my husband grills the meat. He adds these when the meat is about done and a few minutes later we are ready to [...]

Broccoli in Mustard Sauce

We eat a lot of broccoli around here. Most of the time I simple steam it and top it with a little butter or cheese. Every once in a while I make a more involved dish like the one below. It’s a great recipe if you’re looking for a “fancier” side dish that’s still quick [...]

Corn Fritter Recipe

Corn fritters is another of those great recipes to have around for a quick and satisfying side dish. I make them quite a bit to serve with hardy soups or stews.  It takes a little practice at first to fry them up, but you’ll quickly get a hang of it (similar to making pancakes). Once [...]

Potato Pie – The Perfect Side Dish

I don’t know about you, but I end up getting tired of fixing the same for or five side dishes to go with just about any meal. If you’re ready to jazz things up a bit, try this awesome potato pie. It’s easy enough to make during the week, but looks fancy enough for a [...]

Fried Corn Fritters

Here’s a recipe for some corn fritters we really like. They cook up fast and I usually have everything needed in the house. They go great as a side dish to a bowl of chili or some homemade soup. I’ve also served them for brunch before.

Super Cheesy Macaroni Bake

Macaroni and Cheese is such a great comfort food. This “deluxe” version with an Italian twist makes for an entire meal. Just add a side salad and dinner is ready. Of course you could also add some cooked chicken, sausage or ground beef before baking it for an even more filling meal. This also [...]
