Side Dish Recipes

Sauteed mushroom and Swiss chard with layered mashed potatoes, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top, after baking the flavor is wonderful. It is also a good dish for holidays.

Creamy, sweet and delicious. It's worth making your own creamed corn instead of getting it from a can.

If you love scalloped potatoes, you will adore this scrumptious dish that is the perfect side when preparing a pot roast for dinner.

This version of the classic green bean casserole lightens the load without sacrificing the flavor or creaminess. Making your own french fried onions adds loads of crispy fried onion goodness.

Arugula (Rocket) or Baby Spinach tossed with a flavorful warm mushroom and onion dressing. A perfect balancing of fresh clean flavor with a warm woodsy note from the mushrooms.

This made for a very tasty side to some salmon filets. I skipped the 2 hour soak time. Didn't need it, since my rice cooks in about 20 minutes anyway. I used shiitakes for the mushrooms.

Cheesy and creamy mac 'n cheese with the added texture and flavor of mushrooms and broccoli, all in one skillet for easy cleanup. Using a skillet keeps it quicker than a slow baked version as well.

Quick, easy and tasty. A great way to make green beans into a delicious side dish.

This recipe is my glorified version of a Polish "kapusta," made hearty with the addition of country-style pork ribs, mushroooms and bacon. Traditionally, it is served with "kluski (potato dumplings)" or egg noodles and rye bread.

This creamy and earthy rich mushroom soup gets it's earthiness from shitake mushrooms and rich creaminess from cashews instead of cream for a healthier result than a cream based bisque. It sacrifices the fat to deliver flavor.

Nice way to dress up peas. The mushrooms, water chestnuts and celery add some needed texture. Just a hint of curry adds some nice warmth but is not in any way overpowering and the chicken bouillon powder infuses the flavor.

Asparagus and red bell pepper are tossed with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil, then roasted in the oven. It's refreshingly delicious. An ideal spring side dish.

Quick, easy and delicious. An ideal breakfast.
