Candied Sweet Potatoes (for grownups)

Candied Sweet Potatoes (for grownups) by Foodiewife

This side dish has graced our Thanksgiving table since 2002. The bourbon really kicks up the flavor, and the vanilla bean adds just the perfect balance of sweetness. Instead of using two whole vanilla beans, I buy Singing Dog Vanilla Bean Paste (Whole Foods). The vanilla bean paste is more economical to use, and a lot easier. Recipe…

Potatoes au Gratan

Potatoes au Gratan by Glenn

This recipe was adapted from a little booklet put out in the 1930s by Westinghouse and Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. for the new electric range and oven.

Serve these easy potatoes with a seasoned rotisserie chicken and steamed green beans. It's also great with pork.

Green Beans with Basil and Tomato

Green Beans with Basil and Tomato by John Spottiswood

This is an attractive and tasty side dish. The butter, basil and tomato adds a nice flavor boost to the green beans. I've made them with garlic salt and regular kosher salt, both are delicious. If you want to spice it up, add more black pepper or substitute crushed red pepper for the black pepper.

This is a delicious quinoa recipe that we served with our garlic lime grilled pork chops. This is flavorful enough that you'll want to serve it with a relatively simple grilled dish. It would go wonderfully with grilled fish, chicken, or steak. Or try it with the pork recipe linked below.
