Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots by John Spottiswood

This is a standard side dish for us when we're serving an asian-inspired meal. It's also great with any grilled meat. The honey brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots and the ginger gives a bit of spice to balance the sweetness. Orange zest and juice gives a nice acidity to the dish. If you make this, it will likely become…

A family favorite side to holiday dinners. This colorful dish has just the right balance of tart and sweet.

Glazed Carrots by Nancy Miyasaki

I made these carrots to be a sweet, vegetable side to go with the Caribbean Pork we made tonight. I wanted something that would be sweet like plantains, and these did the job perfectly. I adapted this from a Cook's Illustrated recipe, and I think the technique is a good one. They'd be nice as a a side with any grilled meat.

mashed potatoes by david spottiswood

These are special, and go well with the pan gravy recipe I am posting. Using Yukon Gold potatoes, you can either leave all the skins on, or, as I do, peel half the potatoes. This recipe is for four. I omit the salt if serving with the pan gravy (the bacon makes the gravy salty enough)

Green Bean Casserole by Cathy Spivak

I can't do Thanksgiving without this side dish. I like it with 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese added to it.

Garlic Herbed Sweet Potatoes by Amos Miller

TRY THIS AT EASTER - it is a signature dish! It is sweet and savory with fresh herbs, dairy products and chicken broth. This is a North Carolina recipe, naturally healthy and rich in beta-carotene, the most common plant source of vitamin A. But who cares! This is delicious, even if it is good for you...besides, sweet potatoes…

The Most Decadent Cornbread Casserole Ever, Made Skinny by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

I’ve tasted many cornbread casseroles in my day and this one wins hands down… It’s rich, moist, creamy and loaded with flavor. It’s amazing how some of the best recipes are often the simplest to make. The original full fat recipe has ingredients such as sour cream, butter and 2 entire cups of cheese. This skinny makeover is using…

Squash Caserole by Kerri Bishop

This recipe is very close to Boston Market's squash casserole. We have always loved this side at the restaurant, but they only have it during the holidays. We made this for Christmas and everyone raved about it. It is really easy to halve the recipe. We have had lots of requests for this recipe. I'd be willing to bet you'll love…
