Hawaiian Crest Salsa by Smokinhotchef

I came up with this recipe at the spur of the moment to accompany the shrimp recipe I was preparing for a late lunch get-together with several of my sisters and my brother Ken. I had just visited the supermarket, so I had lots of fresh ingredients on hand. My sister Gayle said this recipe reminded her of Hawaii and crisp freshness…

Garlic Herbed Sweet Potatoes by Amos Miller

TRY THIS AT EASTER - it is a signature dish! It is sweet and savory with fresh herbs, dairy products and chicken broth. This is a North Carolina recipe, naturally healthy and rich in beta-carotene, the most common plant source of vitamin A. But who cares! This is delicious, even if it is good for you...besides, sweet potatoes…

Corn Pie for Lazy Cooks by Glenn

I LOVE corn pie. But I don't always have time to do it like grandma used to make it. This won't win any awards but it is a very acceptable corn pie to please the palate. A super side dish.

Dave’s Rutabaga Soufflé by Dave

I serve this dish at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. It is always a huge hit. The addition of mascarpone cheese was just done at Easter and it really makes it. It also allowed me to reduce the amount of cream so even better. This is an easy level recipe that I hope you enjoy!

Fried Cabbage.... by Pyrohy Pusher

A healthy alternative vegetable side dish, or great just as a snack or meal by itself. It's a good cold day "comfort food" that fills the house with a terrific aroma. It's also a good recipe for the slow cooker. My version of this recipe is not fried, but it's also an extremely low fat dish.

Aztec Couscous by Hilda Fonseca de Gill

Couscous takes on a Latin flair with black beans, corn, jalapeno, cilantro, and cumin for a tasty vegetarian side dish.

Cole Slaw by Libby Starchild

A really good and easy recipe from an old recipe book of my grandmother's. I'll update with a photo when I have one. It looks like traditional cole slaw.

Bye Bye Blues, A Quick And Spicy Bean Dish by kathy gori

I have a small confession to make. I love trick vegetables. You know what I'm talking about, the orange cauliflower, the red squash, the black garlic. So you can imagine my surprise and delight when the gang at Lunita Farm showed me a basket of dark purple green beans at the Saturday Farmers Market. I'd never seen anything like…

Carrots with Honey and Chiles by Rivertree Kitchen

Take your basic glazed carrots, lighten up a bit on the butter and sugar, add a chile, and you have a modern take on a classic dish.

Peas & Pancetta by La Tavola Marche (farm, inn & cooking school)

Sweet peas have arrived at the farmers market, spring is here! Peas & pancetta - one of my favorite dishes that I only eat in Spring when the peas are bright & fresh. I can't get enough, I don't know if it's the peas or the pancetta - is it the green veggie or the fatty pork that I love so?! Maybe I should just have another…
