Every Thanksgiving I get asked to bring a side dish to Thanksgiving dinner; this is something I am very thankful for! I’m going to let my mom and mother-in-law handle the heavy duty Thanksgiving dinner items for as long as possible. Preparing and cooking a turkey for 20+ people is not a skill I’ve developed yet, but side dishes? Those I can handle.
Easy Italian Pasta Salad
My son, Shane, has been on this pasta salad kick. So, we went on the search for exactly the kind of recipe that he would love… and, we found it. Pasta, packed with meat, olives, cheese, green peppers, and drizzled with Italian dressing! We found the recipe on All Recipes, but ended up changing the […]
Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes (she: Samantha)
Happy July, everyone! It’s Samantha from Five Heart Home, and I’m always happy to have the chance to visit with y’all when my monthly Or So She Says post rolls around! Today I brought over a to-die-for seasonal side dish that showcases prime summer produce in an unbelievably tasty way.
These Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes are beyond delectable, y’all. Fresh ingredients and a simple preparation often yield the most delicious results, and that is certainly true of this recipe! All that’s required is to thickly slice some ripe, plump tomatoes, scatter a bit of minced garlic on top, and then sprinkle them with extra-virgin olive oil, flavorful balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar. After roasting at a high temperature, the finished tomatoes become caramelized with an intensely concentrated tomato flavor that is simultaneously sweet and savory. The garlic plays off of such flavors beautifully, as do the chopped fresh herbs that garnish the finished dish.
Roasted Garlic Herb Butter (she: Ruthie)
Good morning to all my friends at Or so she says !
It’s Ruthie from Whats Cooking with Ruthie … I’m so happy to be here sharing a delightful recipe with y’all.
I don’t know about where you live but in my neck of the woods, the days are getting longer and the temperatures are starting to warm up! Yay. It’s time to pull out those grills and get some fun in the sun going on!
This Roasted Garlic Herb Butter recipe is so versatile that you can serve it toasted on a baguette under the broiler or wrap the baguette up in foil and throw it on the grill to steam through!
Mom’s Awesome Potato Salad
I’m a little snobbish, when it comes to Potato Salad. I don’t do sweet pickles, sweet anything, or onions. I’m all about lots of dill pickles, hard boiled eggs, and red potatoes. Mmmm, baby. And, my mama makes it right. All the good stuff, PLUS her secret ingredient, Salad Supreme Seasoning. Lots of it. I’m talking the whole dang bottle, hence the orangey-yellow color. Don’t let it scare you. It’s the best. I could make a full meal out of this potato salad, forget the whole ‘side dish’ thing.
Southwestern Twice Baked Potatoes (she: Kate)
I hated baked potatoes as a kid. Whenever my mom made them, they were met with groans and eye rolls. Poor Mom. Now, as so often happens, I love baked potatoes, especially twice baked potatoes. These potatoes are a Southwestern-inspired twist on twice baked potatoes. Instead of the usual butter and sour cream, these guys […]
