Last week I got a bounty of vegetables from my CSA (community supported agriculture). I got broccoli, cucumbers, eggplant, corn, zucchini, summer squash, tomatoes, basil and Thai basil. Looking at those ingredients I decided to make drunken noodles. While I wouldn’t be able to use all of the veggies, I could use a large amount along with the…
Over the 4th of July holiday I was home visiting my family and my Grandma made some unbelievable corn. It was perfectly cooked and super tasty. I asked my Mom and Grandma for their secrets. The key was to boil the corn. I could not believe it, but the corn comes out perfect each and…
I love potatoes and I am always looking for a new way to cook them on the grill. I have done foil packets before, but this time it is serious. The potatoes are plump, juicy and completely coated with cheese. Who could ask for a better side on this Memorial Day Weekend. By opening up…
A steak is just a steak until you add sides. Then the steak turns into a meal. Everyone always focuses on the main entree, but fails to put any thought into the supporting cast. A good side can elevate an OK meal to a great meal. For this reason, I like to focus on side…
I had a ton of left overs from my first homemade honey baked ham, so I decided to make scalloped potatoes with ham. Growing up this was always a dish that my Mom made after we had Easter. It used up the extra ham and it was friggin delicious. This was a great recipe, but…
A staple in my home during the holiday’s is Cheesy Potatoes. Made from hash brown potatoes and cheese they are a creamy and delicious side. Not sure where the recipe originally came from, I got the recipe from my Mother. For as long as I can remember we have had these on Easter Sunday as…
Last week I made a pot roast and it needed a few sides. So I searched the internet to find a couple of sides to serve along with the roast. One was the Roasted Cauliflower that I posted about last week. Today I am posting about some exquisitely creamy, garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes. So tasty…
The other week I was looking through my recipes and I found a recipe for roasted broccoli. Sounded good, but I had cauliflower in the fridge. The recipe was simple and tasty so I substituted the cauliflower for the broccoli and added a bit of paprika to add color and a little smokiness. This created…
A couple of weeks ago I made a chili rice that sparked a conversation on the website about rice dishes. From there I got a couple of emails requesting more rice dishes. One of my favorite rice dishes is risotto. With its creamy texture and dynamite slow cooked flavor it is a must have. The…
I love breakfast. Probably my favorite meal of the day. Mostly because it is the only meal where it is cool to eat bacon straight up. But secondly, because it is almost always served with potatoes. I love those crazy tubers. So I decided to whip up some potatoes. These potatoes are loaded with peppers…
I have said it and I will say it again. I love potatoes. They are tasty, filling, and go great with cheese. A couple of days ago I posted Braised Short Ribs. They were delicious and created some of the tastiest gravy that I have ever had. What goes great with gravy? Potatoes. What goes…
I am a huge fan of potatoes. Maybe that is the Midwesterner in me. Maybe it because I love starch. I really don’t have an answer for it, but I do know that I love potatoes. So whenever I am looking for a side, I always look to potatoes first. Searching through the internet I…
I was craving tomato soup the other day. So I scoured the internet to find a suitable soup for dinner. After looking around I settled on a soup that was based on canned tomatoes. I know, but it is winter here and the fresh tomatoes, well they suck. This soup roasts the tomatoes to give…
