Side Dish Recipes

On a hot summer evening, this is a refreshing version of the typical mayonnaise laden potato salad. Serve with grilled fish or chicken and sherbet for dessert!

This is probably the best scalloped potatoes I've had. We made our own cream of mushroom soup with dried wild mushrooms (see recipe link below). Tons of rich mushroom flavor that was embedded in the potatoes along with a nice cheesy flavor throughout. We used a nice old cheddar. The paprika was a nice touch and it ended up giving the potatoes a very rich color (see photos).

After trying numerous green bean casseroles I was not a fan. This casserole changed my mind. Tender-crisp green beans that were actually green. Just the right amount of creamy coating loaded with mushroom flavor. And no canned tasteless fried onions. Delish!

Crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. With a bit of attention to the preparation technique you can turn oven roasted potatoes into crispy bites of heaven.

Make it ahead to save some time for your party day, and it tastes delicious when it comes out of the oven and freshly baked.

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.

A spaghetti squash casserole cooked with Gryuere (or swiss) cheese and fresh basil until the parmesan cheese is browned and the casserole is bubbling. Unbelievably low-fat, low-carb delicious goodness.

The combination of parmesan, paprika, and fresh thyme or/and rosemary makes the roasted potatoes cheesy, tasty and full of flavor. You can always toss a few freshly minced garlic with the potatoes or simply sprinkle some garlic powder. A quick, easy and delicious dish that everyone loves.

I love these spiced chick peas. It was so tasty, and very easy to make. I cooked the mixture a little longer, just wanted a thicker consistency, and I served it with toasted pita bread. YUM!

This delicious sweet potato casserole impresses everyone. It's creamy but not too rich, it's sweet but not too heavy. The candied pecan topping adds the extra crunchiness and nuttiness, a great side dish to share on your Thanksgiving table.

Traditional German dish called Himmel und Erde which means "Heaven and Earth". Equal parts of apples and potatoes mashed and topped with caramelized onions and bacon.

Easy and tasty.

A very different twist on tradional pasta/macaroni salad. Loaded with ingredients, this could be a meal in itself.

Roasted cauliflower, a tangy and tasty soy-ginger dressing with fresh scallions, a delicious side-dish that you can serve with any main course; or just having it directly is a joy too!

Roasted butternut squash and onions add tons of delicious flavor, roasted walnuts and freshly chopped basil definitely give the pasta another layer of yumminess. It can be served as a main course or a side dish!

Made this cabbage and bean soup for dinner last night. Loved the soup, it was flavorful, tasty and very light. Browning all the veggies in the pot was a must, which developed tons of flavors and made the soup taste delicious.
