Mushroom and Fried Corn Rice by Allison Loesch

My Mushroom and Fried Corn Rice is a side dish packed with flavor and full of the fall colors. It's a side dish my family treasures and request every year.

Corn Souffle by Terri Jordan

This is a wonderful corn casserol I make every Thanksgiving and Christmas ...however, this side dish is a compliment to many entrees! I have never met a person that did not like it.

Best Turkey Stuffing by John Spottiswood

This recipe is a combination and adaptation of two great stuffing recipes found in the New Best Recipe cookbook by Cook's Illustrated (one of our favorites for traditional dishes). We took this to an early friend's thanksgiving party and it was a huge hit. There were three different stuffings served, and this one was by far the most…

Simple Cuban Black Beans & Rice in a Rice Cooker by John Spottiswood

I've loved cuban black beans and rice ever since I lived in Weehawken, New Jersey and ate at the Unica Cafe. This recipe takes some short cuts and uses a rice cooker, but I still think the results are delicious. Try this under any caribbean grilled meat, fish or stew and you won't be disappointed!

My favorite Stuffing without Meat by John Spottiswood

This is a wonderful stuffing recipe that is adapted from one by James Beard. It is truly delicious! You could reduce on the butter and oil, but I think it's worth it!

Garlic and Oregano Roasted Tomatoes by Denise Fletcher

These plump, scarlet, glistening little bullets of flavour are wonderful bobbing about in soup, tumbling around strands of spaghetti or linguine, smooshed into a herby, dimpled foccacia, stirred into steaming risotto or rice or riddling a fat, buttercup-yellow omelette. The uses for them are legion. And, nothing could be simpler. You…

Texas Style Pinto Beans by Sergio Hernandez

Slightly spicy cumin, cilantro and jalapenos lend a Southwestern Tex/Mex flair to tender pinto beans in this recipe. I've added a ham hock and/or bacon for added flavor. Goes well with the spanish rice recipe I've posted.

Butternut Squash Risotto by Kelly Sheeman

Baked Beans by A.L. Wiebe

I found this recipe in an old recipe book from the 1940's when I was a young bride in the early 1970's. At the time, I thought, "wow this is ancient"! lol. Well, after my disastrous first meatloaf (came out the size of a hockey puck lol), I forged ahead and gave this a try. How brave, but I finally succeeded! This has never failed…

Italian Mac & Cheese by Nanette

My BFF, Sunny, was coming for dinner with her husband and I was making pork tenderloin with blueberry balsamic sauce, but what to serve as a side dish? She adores Mac & Cheese, so I wanted to serve what she loves. Not being a big fan of traditional mac & cheese, I searched for a recipe that would make us both happy. The two cheeses…
