Arkansas Green Beans
I made these yummy green beans the other day. Not sure why they’re called ARKANSAS Green Beans…maybe someone from Arkansas originally came up with the recipe. But wherever the recipe originated from, they sure are good! My friend Jane told me about these green beans, which she found at AllRecipes.com. My version is slightly different…I added…

Green Rice Casserole with Chicken
My friend Ann gave me this delicious recipe. This is a meal in itself, but it also makes a great side dish. It has chopped broccoli, rice, onion, cheddar cheese, and chicken as some of the ingredients. So you get your veggies and protein. Just add a side salad and you have something really tasty…

Mediterranean Blend Veggies with Fresh Lemon Dressing and Southwestern Blend Veggies ‘n Chicken
I made these delicious and healthy organic veggies the other day, using the Whole Foods Market 365 Everyday Value Mediterranean Blend frozen vegetables. I added a Fresh Lemon Dressing on top, which was a nice lemony, tangy, finishing touch. I also made this yummy chicken and veggie dish with the organic Southwestern Blend frozen vegetables, also from Whole Foods.

Matt’s Couscous and Lentil Salad
I have many friends who are great cooks, and Matt is one of them—in fact, I fully expect him to go to culinary school one day and become a professional chef! Everything he makes is really good. Like me, he loves baking sweets and rich desserts, but also likes making healthy dishes…like this Couscous and…

My friend Jane Ann made this cheesy potato casserole the other day. Her department was having a special lunch at work, and this was a side dish she made for the meal. So I took some photos of it and then, of course, I had to eat it…couldn’t let any of this creamy potato cheesiness…

Baked Sweet Potato Fries
The first time I ever had sweet potato fries was at a restaurant about 8 years ago. They had such a delicious sweet coating…it was kind of like eating a dessert! So I thought I’d try making some baked sweet potato fries, since I don’t eat fried foods much. I looked up some recipes and…

Honey-Balsamic Peas and Carrots
I never used to be a big fan of peas and carrots. When I was growing up, our family would eat those frozen-packaged peas and carrots (the ones with the carrots cut into little block shapes). Putting a pat of butter on them helped a little, but it was hard to get excited about having…

Parmesan-Cheddar Squash Casserole
I found a delicious yellow squash recipe about three years ago in an old Southern Living magazine, and made a few small changes to it—it has become one of my favorite side dishes! I usually make it in the summer months, when yellow squash is so abundant. I either use squash from my garden or purchase it…

Fresh Tomato and Chive Salad
The tomatoes in my garden are doing pretty well this summer. I have a cherry tomato plant (they’re pretty large for cherry tomatoes, though) and a regular-size tomato plant. The cherry tomatoes are doing especially well. With all these fresh tomatoes I was picking, I was wanting to try a few tomato salad recipes with…
