Mashed Potatoes by Candice Goodyear

I don't like instant mashed potatoes at all. I make mine from scratch like many cooks out there. I like them either with butter and sour cream or butter and milk in them both are delicious. But, if you don't have milk or sour cream on hand you can substitute 1/4 cup real mayo, still taste great.

Pinto Beans by sunlit2

Got this recipe from juliecooks.com. I added avacado chunks as well as fresh diced tomato with shredded cheese and sour cream. My son said it tasted like tacos but with beans. I liked it and pretty healthy.

This was easy and a delicious side for the yogurt chicken I made the other night. My sister raved about this and my husband, who normally prefers bulgur and other grains to quinoa, really enjoyed it.

Santa's Reward by Denise Romeo

This is the perfect reward for children on Santa's "very good" list. It is essentially a liquid chocolate bar, and achieves ultimate richness when you use bittersweet chocolate with 62% to 72% cacao. Serve in demitasse cups to make it extra special, but be prepared to make more when people beg for a second helping.
