Side Dish Recipes

Sweet Gherkin Pickles recipe

A rich soup with layers of earthy warm flavors. Maitake mushrooms (hen of the woods) are believed to have numerous medicinal properties and taste great.

Wintry spices make this a rich, creamy, and flavorful holiday favorite!

No watery and soggy breadcrumbs here. This technique delivers juicy perfect stuffed tomatoes with a bold and classic combination of flavors.

The crunchy vegetables give the slaw great texture and refreshing taste, the toasted cumin dressing brings the flavor altogether. A great side dish is served beside your BBQ.

Easy Creamy Potato Soup recipe

Toasting adds strong nutty flavor into quinoa, roasted walnuts add another layer of nutty flavor and texture. It is a very flavorful and light side dish that goes well with any main course.

Quick and easy yet dressy and good for company. The prosciutto wrapped around the asparagus gets crispy under the broiler and the tomato garlic dressing adds even more flavor.

Almonds are also employed in savory dishes such as couscous, rice, stuffings, chicken, and certain fish such as the classic trout almandine. And of course there's Amaretto, the delicious almond flavored liqueur.

My version of a low fat but cheesy vegetable bake for your slow cooker (CrockPot).

Cornbread Stuffing with Apples and Golden Raisins recipe

The flavor was great. Made a few dishes with these refried black beans, burrito and two different multiple-layer dips. Homemade is always the way to go. If you have never tried refried black beans, certainly should add this one to "to-do" list.

Juicy and sweet cherry tomatoes, peppery arugula, crunchy cucumber and creamy avocado are tossed with a light and tasty vinaigrette. An ideal summer salad.

Hummus, perfect for dipping all kinds of veggies or for pita bread or a replacement from mayo.
