Roasted Garlic Mashed PotatoesRoasting garlic in the oven brings out its sweet, nutty flavor. So it doesn't overpower mellow mashed potatoes. If you're looking for a Diabetic and/or Low-Fat Friendly recipe, see my tip below. Serve these easy potatoes with a seasoned rotisserie chicken and steamed green beans. It's also great with pork. |

Green Beans with Basil and TomatoThis 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. |
