	Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic Sauce by John Spottiswood My father-in-law has become an amazing cook, and he made this as part of our Easter lunch this year with the fabulous pork tenderloin recipe (see linked below). This version isn't gloppy with extra sauce like you find in many Chinese take out places. It's very flavorful but also relatively light and healthful. He made a TON of it,…	18 votes 8 reviews 2 comments 42224 views
	Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian style by Amos Miller I have never been a really big fan of cauliflower, but I love potatoes and spices. This dish, known as 'Alu Ghobi', has long been a favorite vegetable side dish in my kitchen. It is simple, easy to make and very healthy for you. One seldom finds a cauliflower dish on the average restaurant menu. But you need not be a…	8 votes 4 reviews 13 comments 21525 views
	Potato and Sweet Potato au Gratin with Herbs by Nancy Miyasaki This is not the lightest recipe I've made, but it's a real treat when you are having guests and want to splurge. I love the flavor and color combination of the sweet and gold potatoes. It's a wonderful twist on a classic French standby.	7 votes 3 reviews 12951 views
	Easy Persian Rice in a Rice Cooker by John Spottiswood Admittedly, this doesn't capture the crunch outside of the normal method of making persian rice. But if you are just looking for a fluffy and buttery rice to serve with a stew or tagine, this works wonderfully and is super easy.	3 votes 2 reviews 13492 views
	Garlic Ginger Green Beans by John Spottiswood These are an excellent, healthy side dish to any grilled meat. I highly recommend them with the Chinese BBQ chicken recipe below, but honestly these would go well with just about anything. Unfortunately these were tapped out long before our chicken, so make more than you think you need. They are great the next day too!	6 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 6284 views
	Roasted Broccoli by John Spottiswood This roasted broccoli recipe, adapted from the Barefoot Contessa, is really wonderful. It has a lot of flavor. We served it with a mild pasta, and it was just a wonderful combination. Don't be worried by the lemon juice and zest. They impart a subtle flavor that adds a nice dimension to this dish.	25 votes 9 reviews 6 comments 21183 views
	Cooler Corn by Glenn Large gatherings of people who like corn on the cob requires a couple of lobster pots or a wash tub and a lot of boiling water and patience. Not anymore. Thanks to tailgating technology there is a simple way to make dozens of ears of corn for the hungry revelers.	1 vote 22927 views
	Japanese Spinach Salad, Ohitashi by John Spottiswood This is a delicious way to consume large quantities of one of the healthiest foods on the planet...spinach! I came to love this when I lived in Japan from 1991-1992, and make it frequently now because it is so easy, healthful and delicious. Serve this with any Asian dish, or any meat and potatoes. It's not particularly spicy, but…	2 votes 1 review 6 comments 16005 views
	Stir Fried Frozen Cauliflower by Julia Ann Souders Fresh cauliflower looked so good at the summer's Farmer's Market. I froze several bags, then this winter wondered how to fix it other than boiling to get soggy limp cauliflower. By thawing first, microwaving for about 1 minute and draining well, it was ready for a quick stir fry. Seasoned and enhanced with walnut pieces made a quick…	1 vote 2 comments 5564 views
	Turkey Stuffing or Side: Brown & Wild Rice w/Apples, Cranberries & Pecans by Salad Foodie At last ~ a HEALTHY stuffing.....that seems like an oxymoron! High in fiber and nutrients but low in fat, this recipe is based on one from the USA Rice Federation. It's quick to make and can be the poultry stuffing, served as a side to holiday…	1 vote 3961 views
	Tzatziki Sauce by John Spottiswood This is a great traditional greek sauce. Serve it on flatbread with fava beans, kebab, falafel, or anything else you can think of. It's super simple to make and you can experiment with adding different spices. The yogurt has a mellowing impact, so you can add just about anything without ruining it!	3 votes 1 review 13027 views
	Homemade Refried Beans by John Spottiswood I'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that…	7 votes 3 reviews 5 comments 8467 views
	Korean potato side dish by John Spottiswood I always love these sweet and salty braised potatoes when they are served along with kimchi and various other side dishes at korean restaurants. I've always wanted to make them, and grilling Galbi gave me the perfect opportunity. I started with a recipe from maangchi.com and substituted a mix of sugar and mirin for the corn syrup…	3 votes 1 review 1 comment 8995 views
	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…	2 votes 1 review 5926 views
	Colcannon with Kale by Julia Ann Souders An Irish potato dish, colcannon is mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale and a dollop of butter on top.
