Roasted BroccoliThis roasted broccoli recipe, adapted from the Barefoot Contessa, is really wonderful. It has a lot of flavor. We served it with a mild pasta, and it was just a wonderful combination. Don't be worried by the lemon juice and zest. They impart a subtle flavor that adds a nice dimension to this dish. |

Brussel Sprouts Sauteed in Garlic & Olive OilThis is a simple, tasty side dish to add to your menu. I've adapted it from Marcella Hazan's recipes for other vegetables. It tastes GREAT with Brussel Sprouts. Broccoli is good too. |

Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic SauceMy father-in-law has become an amazing cook, and he made this as part of our Easter lunch this year with the fabulous pork tenderloin recipe (see linked below). This version isn't gloppy with extra sauce like you find in many Chinese take out places. It's very flavorful but also relatively light and healthful. He made a TON of it,… |

BrusselsNo not the country famous for Beer, Diamonds and Waffles, but a rather a tested method to make anyone eat Brussel Sprouts. Serve as a side to steak, chicken piccata, or just over steamed rice. Provided and tested by my good friend Brian Bedrosian. |

Easy Pan Fried TomatoesThis recipe is incredibly easy and really tasty. We're healthy eaters, so frying tomatoes isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But you have got to taste these. Amazing! Disclosure: we used fresh tomatoes from our garden that were really flavorful. You may not get the same results with less flavorful tomatoes. We served with… |

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. |

Spanakopita (Spinach Pie)I love spanakopita, but it's too much work. This is a great way to make spanakopita for a crowd. And it's really yummy, too! Just remember the filo has to be defrosted overnight or for 5 hours before assembling. |

Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian styleI have never been a really big fan of cauliflower, but I love potatoes and spices. This dish, known as 'Alu Ghobi', has long been a favorite vegetable side dish in my kitchen. It is simple, easy to make and very healthy for you. One seldom finds a cauliflower dish on the average restaurant menu. But you need not be a… |

Asparagus and Shitake MushroomsQuickly sauteed asparagus and shitake mushrooms with fresh ginger makes a really spectacular dish. This has a light, Asian flavor that would go well with fish or poultry as well as beef (which we served it alongside). This could easily be cooked in a wok if you have one handy, though a large saute pan will work equally well. We… |

Cauliflower in Cast Iron PotThis dish can be used as a main or a side - would also be a great item to take to a party or a pot luck. Your friends won't be disappointed. If you can, use locally grown and organic cauliflower. You'll taste the difference. |

Garlic Ginger Green BeansThese are an excellent, healthy side dish to any grilled meat. I highly recommend them with the Chinese BBQ chicken recipe below, but honestly these would go well with just about anything. Unfortunately these were tapped out long before our chicken, so make more than you think you need. They are great the next day too! |

Roasted Carmelized TomatoesThis is a delicious way to serve ripe, juicy summer tomatoes. Roasting them reduces the tomato liquid to a glaze. They are delicious with any grilled meat or other vegetables. |
