Side Dish

Did you think that I wouldn’t post any more delicata squash recipes this year?  Think again!  These delicata squash twice baked potatoes are divine. I added this recipe to my Thanksgiving Dinner Roundup for my monthly Daily Herald article that comes out later this week.  Dinner for four which consists of a sirloin tip roast, glazed carrots and my new brussels sprouts recipe with crispy...

Brussels Sprouts with Crispy Pancetta and Apple Cider Gastrique will be the hit on your holiday table! Last weekend I had the privilege to have a delicious dinner with a new friend in . . . IDAHO! One of my instagram followers husband reached out to me several weeks ago and invited me to visit the weekend of his wife’s birthday. Without hesitation I said...

Warm Potato Salad I may be in the minority, but I am not the biggest fan of potato salad with mayo.  That’s why I love this warm potato salad that is not only delicious, but Weight Watchers friendly! UPDATE:  On the new WW plan as of December 2024, each serving of this side dish is only 1 Weight Watchers point! This recipe is also a...

If there are tater tots on a menu, I always get them.  I even ask just to make sure if I don’t see them on the menu – ha!  These buffalo mashed potato bites are just as good. Natural Heaven has brown rice hearts of palm on the market!  You can check it out here and use code BIZ to save $.    If you’ve...

This Copycat Baja Fresh Salsa has been made routinely in my house for 11 years.  It is so flavorful! The Baja Fresh restaurant near us closed down several years ago.  In fact the closest one to me know is in Wisconsin! Luckily I had a small container left and my late husband and I were trying to figure out what the black flecks were in...

Jalapeno Corn Fritters When summer is in full swing, you’ll want these jalapeno corn fritters on repeat.  Easy to make ahead and reheat later in the week.  Winning! This recipe is proof that Weight Watchers recipes don’t need to be boring. Can you use canned corn to make corn fritters? Absolutely!  Just make sure to drain the corn really well and dry in paper towels. ...

This chopped broccoli salad is so good.  It will be a great addition to your summer BBQ. The best part is that you can make it ahead of time so you aren’t slaving in your kitchen as people are walking up your driveway. What kind of vegetables can you add to a chopped salad? I love a chopped salad.  You can really substitute any veggies...

One of my favorite things to bring to a cookout (besides the meat!) is a good summer pasta salad. There are two stars to this salad – the giardiniera dressing and the Galileo® Salame.  Best part is that this can be made ahead of time and it’s good in the fridge for several days. I love that there are both cooked and raw veggies in...

This hominy macaroni and cheese may be the best macaroni and cheese I’ve ever made.  The hominy makes it! What is hominy? Full disclosure, I had to look this up!  “Hominy is made from whole corn kernels that have been soaked in a lye or lime solution to soften the tough outer hulls. The kernels are then washed to remove the excess solution, the hull,...

This pasta with zucchini and corn is great not only in the summer, but in the middle of November when the temps start to fall. I deep cleaned my pantry yesterday.  If my daughter Hannah were still living at home with me she would have shaken her head. So get ready for lots of pasta dishes while I use up what’s in my pantry! What...
