Thanksgiving side dishes/11 recipes

Quick, easy and refreshing. Serve this tasty and light side dish with any your favorite meat dishes.

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.

I think homemade foods are generally healthier and better taste than store-bought. I sprouted some mung bean sprouts at home for the second time. Made this salad the first thing this morning after I got up...

A delicious recipe for the perfect Thanksgiving dinner.

I sometimes pan fry these then let them simmer for at least an hour in a spicy Moroccan tomato sauce (recipe to follow). I usually serve the kefta with couscous, a vegetable, some cucumber yogurt sauce, and warmed pita.

An easy and tasty side dish - spicy beans and rice.

A refreshing and tasty summer salad that uses fresh and seasonal tomatoes and cucumbers. It takes no time to make, and a great side dish that goes well with any main course.

Refreshing Bulgar salad with garbanzo beans (chickpeas).

Light, delicious and packed with flavor.

Kale has become a super food, and there is a reason for it. It's packed with nutrients, and with little calories. This potato and kale hash has a great texture and flavour. The smoked cheddar and the eggs add a healthy dose of protein.

Not exactly traditional, but these crispy latkes will make every night of Hanukah a delicious one!
