Oven Roasted VegetablesI enjoy roasted vegetables and have tried several ways of preparing them, but this is the version I keep coming back to. Love the garlic and the way the veggies begin to caramelize. |

Crockpot Baked PotatoesTechnically these are not "baked" as in oven-baked. But this method yields surprisingly close results to the traditional baked potato. I had strong misgivings when I first came across this recipe, but when I tried it I was convinced it's the way to go for a fuss-free "baked" spud. The texture is much better than microwaved. The length… |

Easy Crock Pot OrzoI love the versatility of a crock pot, from desserts, to soups to even this easy orzo side dish. It takes no time to prepare and only a few short hours to cook. Put it on in mid afternoon and it will be ready by dinner. The crock pot makes the orzo so fluffy and delicious. |

Cranberries with Jezebel SauceIf you don't care for the tart tang of cranberries - try this. My dear friend, Gail, serves this dish her way frequently and everyone likes it because it is sweet & spicy and just tangy enough. A great condiment. I've modified Gail's recipe a tad and share it with you. Cranberries will no longer be a Thanksgiving side dish. This… |

Pineapple Rice with Green SoybeansThis colorful rice side or vegetarian entrée is a healthy and novel departure from same-old, same-old steamed rice! I liked it even more next day. Easily adapts to vegetarian. |

Mom's Zucchini CasseroleThis is adapted from a recipe my Mom made for the family years ago. She used summer squash. I used zucchini instead. Any squash will work so use what you grow or have on hand. I added more onions than she used and also included herbs de Provence to add some flavor. Be cautious in adding salt as the soup has plenty in it. If you… |

Crustless Zucchini PieI use the term “pie” liberally in this recipe. This is not really a pie per say. I did start out thinking I would put this delicious zucchini mixture in a crust, but when it came right down to it, I just couldn’t. I wanted the fresh taste of the vegetables to be the star of the show! |
