Good Ole Fashioned Southern Creecy Greens by Smokinhotchef

A low-country delicacy of sorts, creecy greens are often not found in supermarkets like more common greens i.e. mustard, kale, collard. Supply in the rural country is mainly a matter of who can identify the tangy green by sight and if the 'patch' is large enough to divvy out any to others. Generally a 'mess' of salad will only yield…

Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Red Onions with Balsamic Vinegar by kat

Thanksgiving is around the corner and I wanted to share some skinny in-season side dishes. I swoon over brussels sprouts and they supply you with vitamin C. This side dish can be prepared a day prior by trimming and quartering the brussels sprouts and slicing the onions up. It's guilt free because it's a low-cal & low-fat side dish!

Cranberry Cole Slaw by Linda Simon

Are you craving crunchy freshness right about now? When meltingly tender slow-cooked stews and soups predominate. They are welcome, but sometimes you want some bite-y food.

Smothered Cabbage by Genet

Smothered cabbage is a common New Orleans side dish. Cabbage, especially when pan-fried by my mom or cooked down with pickle meat by my great-grandmother, ranked high on my list of favorite veggies. It’s not fancy or pretty, but it is tasty and relatively good for you. While my recipe is somewhat of a culture clash–Irish veggie…

Sauteed Kale with Bacon and Cashews by John Spottiswood

Sauteed Swiss Chard with Onions by K. Garner

This is Yummy and makes your Swiss Chard taste the best it can. This is a four-star recipe from Epicurious. The picture shows brown bits that might be mistaken for bacon; those are the caramelized onion pieces. By the way, I fixed a baked potato with butter and sour cream and put a mound of this on top; it pretty much rocked.

Spinach & Artichoke Cassarole by LIsa

A great side dish with that does double duty. Leftovers make a great spinach Artichoke dip when you add creme cheese and reheat. Use real butter but low fat subs are fine otherwise. Shaker Parmesan is also fine for this recipe.
