Green Beans with Basil and Tomato by John SpottiswoodThis 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. |

Lemon & Garlic Green Beans by John SpottiswoodIt is rare to have a side dish which everyone keeps reaching for instead of the main dish.

They are tender and tasty on their own, but I've never had them taste… |

Buttered Brussels Sprouts by Amanda NatividadBrussels sprouts get a bad rap. Opponents of the vegetable swear it tastes like metal. Or worse, like feet.

Glazed Carrots by Nancy MiyasakiI made these carrots to be a sweet, vegetable side to go with the Caribbean Pork we made tonight.

They'd be nice as a a side with any grilled meat. |
