Southwestern Slaw

Crunchy. Fresh. Delicious Side. 

This recipe is from a long-time friend in Texas. She is a wonderful cook that has a passion for great food, just like me. One Christmas we exchanged recipes as a gift and when she sent hers to me, not only were they beautifully written, but when I was looking through the recipes my mouth started to water. And everything that I have made from her kitchen is WONDERFUL! Thanks xoxox

I love a good Slaw. That is all I have to say about it. Slaw is good. And good for you. BONUS!! 

I served this Slaw with Gourmet Burgers. Perfect Side dish! And the next day, I added it to my Egg Salad Sandwich. Would also be Excellent on a BBQ Pulled Sandwich. All mouth watering delicious. 

Half Hassleback Potatoes

Oh these are good. Really good. 

Oh potato lovers...have you had a half hassleback potato lately? With a spicy herb sour cream? Too good. 

As I listen to Micheal Jackson on the radio...he says it all "WOO"! Exactly.

I love how "Po-ta-to" can be molded, shaped, cut, formed, fried, baked, boiled into SO many different options. Gotta love it!

Tomato/Onion/Mozzarella Casserole

This was a favorite dish that I made for Mother's Day Dinner. Out of everything I made, this dish was my husband's favorite. It was even good the next day as leftovers.

Fresh Tomatoes. Fresh Mozzarella. Roasted to perfection.

What is it about some veggies that when you saute or roast them, the flavor changes and they taste delectable?! Especially onions and mushrooms. YUM.

This I know for sure: Tomatoes, Basil, Mozzarella and Balsamic Vinegar go VERY well together. Some food have a Ying and a Yang...well, for tomatoes this is IT.

Strawberry Apple Salad

Fruit and leafy greens taste amazing with each other. Who knew?!

One thing that I LOVE to create are Salads. When you are asked to bring a salad to a dinner party...and you think, "salad: lettuce, tomato, croutons etc." It doesn't stop there. Keep going...what else can you put in a salad?

Some veggies that are great in all salads (both with fruit or just veggies): Bell Peppers, English Cucumbers, Cheese, Nuts, Green Onions, Celery, and Carrots. These add so much to a salad, whether it is sweet or not.

Savory Sweet Potato Rounds

Oh how I love sweet potatoes. You orange potato...you.

Sweet mixed with savory. Mouth watering. Perfect side....just wish my husband liked them more (texture thing), then I would make them more.

Oh well, that means more for ME! And I WILL eat them ALL!

This recipe is not hard. Quite simple really.

And did you know that sweet potatoes are good for you? Vitamins. Hooray for healthy eating!

Baked Broccoli and Cauliflower

You can eat TONS of this and not feel guilty. It is not difficult. It is healthy. It is a great side dish.
