Ham & Cabbage Hash

Ham & Cabbage Hash by Salad Foodie

This is a fast dinner-in-a-skillet recipe, and a good way to use up leftover ham or roast beef. Lots of vegetables make the meat go further and keep calories, fat, sodium and carbs to a reasonable level. A healthy and homey stand-by recipe for breakfast and/or casual dinners.

Buttered Brussels Sprouts

Buttered Brussels Sprouts by Amanda Natividad

Brussels sprouts get a bad rap. Opponents of the vegetable swear it tastes like metal. Or worse, like feet. But when coated with the right vinaigrette, flash fried, or sautéed, Brussels sprouts have a complex richness, an earthy savoriness that fills your mouth. There’s nothing like it.

Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots

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…

Bulgur Pilaf

Bulgur Pilaf by Salad Foodie

Faster and easier to cook than rice, bulgur is a grain to consider for making pilaf. High in fiber and low in fat makes this side dish a healthful choice. Easily converts to vegetarian by omitting the chicken broth. (Medium to large grind bulgur will be best for this recipe.)

Shrimp Pita with Avocado Dressing

Shrimp Pita with Avocado Dressing by Carolinaheartstrings

We love shrimp at Carolina HeartStrings and Alessa and I both decided to create a wonderful sandwich using this favorite. Alessa’s shrimp and pimento cheese sandwich on Monday looked so yummy. It inspired me to pull the shrimp out of the freezer and whip up a quick tasty treat for lunch. This would be wonderful on a bed of…

Homemade Refried Beans

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…

Broccoli Stir Fry with Walnuts by Rich H

This recipe is quick and easy but yields a dish that is tasty and very filling. Healthy green broccoli and walnuts make it especially delicious and the red peppers give it a nice visual appeal. Serve it over rice noodles.

Pumpkin Fried Rice

Pumpkin Fried Rice by Carolinaheartstrings

A few weeks ago I fixed Farm Diva’s Chicken Fried Rice recipe for dinner. It was delicious and with a Lowcountry sweetie that was raised up on rice I had made more rice than I needed in her recipe. The leftover white rice sat in the fridge for a day or two and then one evening in a desperate-for-a-side-dish mode I looked in the…

Black-eyed peas (the food, not the band) combined with delicious kale are melded together into a flavorful dish that is sauteed with onion and garlic and then made to really pop with smoked paprika! Yum!

Tilapia with Sweet Peppers

Tilapia with Sweet Peppers by Salad Foodie

I like the speed with which I can get a seafood dish from pan to table. Only 15 minutes of cooking makes this tilapia main dish perfect for hurried meal times. Add rice or other grain as a side, plus a salad, and ...... ring the dinner bell!
