Apple-Carrot Coleslaw
Are you a fan a coleslaw like I am? I thought it would be fun to try a seasonal version of it—with apples and some extra carrots added in. And I made it the super-easy way—I used a 16-ounce bag of coleslaw mix and I used pre-shredded carrots on top of that! It sure can’t…

Marshmallow Sweet Potato Casserole
I first made this sweet potato casserole a few years ago at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s one of those classic comfort food recipes and so popular for the holidays. It’s such an easy side dish to put together, too.

Cowboy Cornbread
Cornbread is great with chili, and this Cowboy Cornbread is extra-good because it’s meaty, it’s cheesy, and green chilis and jalapeños give it a little kick! Actually, this cornbread seems like it could be a meal in itself, served with a salad or soup. Or you could cut it into small squares and serve it…

Veggie Potato Salad
Potato Salad is a favorite summer side dish of mine, and I wanted to try adding veggies to it—it’s always nice when you can work in some extra veggies to your food! I had an old potato salad recipe I had clipped from a magazine that had some veggies in it, so I modified that…

Broccoli-Cheese Casserole
Sometimes we just need a little comfort food, and comfort food often involves cheese, right? I had been wanting to make a really cheesy, creamy broccoli casserole for some time, and finally had the chance to create one! I love how super-creamy and cheesy it is—and the buttery cracker topping is pretty wonderful too! 🙂

Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables
Recently, I’ve been posting recipes for sweet treats, so here’s a healthier recipe to balance that out! 🙂 I try to be good about eating my veggies and I eat raw veggies with dip every once in a while, but my favorite way to eat veggies is when they’re roasted. I just love them that…
