Fat Free Sweet Potato Souffle by Carolinaheartstrings

If you live in the Carolinas you are pretty much required to love sweet potatoes. And generally they’re pretty healthy but to make them really tasty traditional cooking adds lots of sugar and butter. I wanted to keep the yum factor but reduce the unhealthy factor. Try this version below using a few substitutions including pureed…

German Potato Pancakes by Carolinaheartstrings

I loved these “pancakes” when I was a child and visited my grandmother’s house. My mother made them occasionally, but they were always a staple at grandma’s house. As soon as they were out of the frying pan, I would top mine with some homemade applesauce or fruit preserves that were waiting on the table. If you cannot quite…

It's easy to use a handful of dehydrated onions to flavor your food.

mashed potatoes by david spottiswood

These are special, and go well with the pan gravy recipe I am posting. Using Yukon Gold potatoes, you can either leave all the skins on, or, as I do, peel half the potatoes. This recipe is for four. I omit the salt if serving with the pan gravy (the bacon makes the gravy salty enough)

Balsamic Mayonnaise by Smokinhotchef

This is mayonnaise set on it's ear. I came up with it one day while making my traditional homemade mayo. I searched my pantry, and to my dismay, I had run out of white, red, cider, distilled and seasoned rice vinegar. Alas, I came to my balsamic vinegar. I took a gander and gave it the old college try. I was extremely pleased…

Pineapple Rice with Green Soybeans by Salad Foodie

This 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.

Another weekend another birthday party dinner, and of course I overdid it again. Three appetizers, main course including two salads, two desserts. It was worth it all though as we had a great time and the food was great. I was looking for an alternative to my usual mashed potatoes and decided to take the extra steps to make the…

Roasted Beets by Swansea Cook

Think you don't like beets? Once you've roasted your own fresh beets, you'll never settle for the can again. You don't peel them until they are cooked which is so easy!

Kale with Kalamata Olives by Salad Foodie

Kale is hearty and healthy, and often teams in winter soups with potatoes and beans. But in this recipe, based on Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, it takes center stage. Quick to prepare it is a pleasant change from other green sides. Don’t let the volume of a one pound bunch of kale scare you off - it cooks down!
