This dressing is so good and pretty that you will want to make it again and again, even if it isn't Thanksgiving. Cranberry, Kale and Corn Bead Dressing is also great as a side dish for roasted chicken, duck and pork. Make this dressing with homemade or purchased day old corn bread, or use packaged corn bread stuffing mix.

Quinoa Pizza Casserole by Debra Parsons

I do not know who came up with this--I got it from and instructor at my health club who got it from a friend. Anyway, it's really good. My husband (who is about as far from being a vegetarian as you can get) thought it was excellent. We did it as a light entree with a slad on a Saturday night (even though it is really a side dish).…

Beet and Mushroom barley Risotto by Monocot

I know Traditional Risotto is made with Rice but Dear God I Love Barley. and I love beets. So I switched in my favorites and I love. Barley has a slightly nutty flavour and a tender-firm bite that makes it particularly satisfying.

Bulgur Pilaf by Salad Foodie

Faster and easier to cook than rice, bulgur is a grain to consider for making pilaf. High in fiber and low in fat makes this side dish a healthful choice. Easily converts to vegetarian by omitting the chicken broth. (Medium to large grind bulgur will be best for this recipe.)

Then too it was served with Lamb in a rich sauce. There is something about the combination of tender lamb with farro or barley, which are slightly more…
