Sauteed Butternut Squash With OnionsThis recipe is easy to prepare and tastes great.
E-Z Refrigerator BeetsThis simple recipe makes great use of all the beets from the garden and provides lots of great vitamins (like IRON!) too!
Roasted Carrots with Carrot-Top PestoThis is a beautiful side dish with vibrant flavours. Use the carrots' own greens to make a pesto to serve with it. I added a bit of mint and lemon to really make it pop. I used pine nuts, but you can use cashews or something similar, too.
Spaghetti Squash FrittersI've been getting a bit tired of spaghetti squash in the usual form I prepare it; with spaghetti sauce or as a layered lasagna. I tried turning them into crisp fritters and they were delightful. You can add whatever bits you like in them, I went with onions, bacon and Parmesan cheese.
Butternut Squash with Macintosh ApplesI just love winter squash. I like it a bit sweet, but do not like having to sweeten it with so much sugar. I thought maybe I could cook apples with it and sweeten it naturally. This is so good, you will love it and you will have the kids eating their veggies like never before!
Homemade Dried and Caramelized OnionsWhen I find a great deal on onions, I buy a large amount and make these dried and caramelized onions. It ends up being a whole lot cheaper and more tasty than buying dried onions in bottles. You can make these in the oven, in a dehydrator, or even in the sun! To make onion powder, run the finished product in a processor.
Summer Fresh Tomato Pie for OneThis is a very juicy pie. It's tomatoes after all, so be prepared for drippage! If you don't care for tomato skins like me, they pull right off with your fork.
Best Bacon Brussels SproutsThe reason why the word "best" is in the recipe is because this dish always converts the brussels sprouts naysayers by first bite. Deconstructing the sprout by serving it in loose leaf form helps those who compare the little vegetable to "mushy alien heads."
Fried Green Tomatoes (Gluten Free)Fried green tomatoes are a family favorite of ours. When my gluten sensitive guests come for supper, I change things up just a little. With the help of "Betty Crocker Gluten Free Bisquick" instead of flour everyone can enjoy the great taste of this southern favorite!
Beer Battered Onion RingsThis is a recipe for onion rings but with a twist, it includes beer! Adding beer to the batter makes the onion rings taste oh-so-much better! It makes them light and crispy crunchy!
Easy Microwave Sweet PotatoesI love sweet potatoes and instead of peeling them to bake or boil I just wash them, cut the ends off, stick with a knife and put them in the microwave for 10 minutes, check them and flip them over if needed.
Shake and Bake BroccoliThis is a recipe that has garlic and salt and pepper and olive oil. This makes the broccoli really come out really crunchy and delicious.
Roasted CabbageCabbage is really good roasted with olive oil, lemon juice, and a little Worcestershire sauce.
Sweet Acorn SquashAcorn squash is seasonal from September to December. This recipe is simple and economical. It would make a perfect appetizer served with a cheese and cracker platter for Thanksgiving!
Balsamic OnionsTry adding a tasty zing as a garnish or side for steak, chicken, or pork dishes.
Zucchini Tomato and Parmesan BakeI was looking through an old recipe binder of mine and came across this recipe. It made my mouth started watering when remembering how tasty and easy it is! It's time to share!
Lemon and Garlic Roasted Broccoli and CauliflowerThis dish also tastes yummy sprinkled with 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan or Romano before serving if you choose.
Roasted Bell Peppers Stuffed with Garlic, Basil and TomatoesYummy served hot or cold. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 7x11 or 9x13 inch baking dish with vegetable oil and place bell pepper halves open side up in the prepared baking dish.
