Simple Charred Vegetable Rice

Simple Charred Vegetable Rice by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a simple recipe that I make frequently to serve alongside any meal where I might otherwise serve regular rice. It ads flavor, color, texture, and a little more health to the dish!

Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots

Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots by John Spottiswood

This is a standard side dish for us when we're serving an asian-inspired meal. It's also great with any grilled meat. The honey brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots and the ginger gives a bit of spice to balance the sweetness. Orange zest and juice gives a nice acidity to the dish. If you make this, it will likely become…

Mushroom Filled Potato Pancakes

Mushroom Filled Potato Pancakes by John Spottiswood

These are healthy, relatively low calorie, and very tasty potato pancakes that I adapted from Jacques Pepin. Sauteed simply in a little oil, they have about 200 calories in each serving of three pancakes. I served them as a side dish to Chicken Chasseur (will post soon), but they would also make a great appetizer.

Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Mushroom Sauce

Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Mushroom Sauce by Salad Foodie

A great recipe for week nights because it uses purchased prepared spaghetti sauce - yet this dish tastes anything but blah. Be sure not to overcook the squash because part of the uniqueness is the crunchy texture of the "noodles". Of course you can substitute your own spaghetti sauce recipe using your garden fresh tomatoes and basil…

Green Beans with Basil and Tomato

Green Beans with Basil and Tomato by John Spottiswood

This 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.

Sauteed Zucchini with Peppers

Sauteed Zucchini with Peppers by Salad Foodie

A basic and quick zucchini side dish - and interesting variation from zucchini-tomato sautees. This dish can go the route you want it. If I want a south of the border twist, I add 1 small seeded and minced jalapeno pepper along with onions, and season with cumin, chili powder and a sprinkle of Queso fresco. For an Italian flair, I add…

This vegetarian burger has the unusual addition of 1 tbsp of grated beets, just enough to give the burger a pleasant color. Once cooked, this burger looks and tastes like a meat burger. It is delicious!
