Raise your hand if you are in need of all the easy side dishes right now? I feel like I have been making the same recipes over and over lately and last week I decided I wanted to try a few new recipes to switch things up! I ended up creating a dish with some asparagus that needed using up from the fridge and threw in some peas from the freezer along with some fresh herbs that I had, and the result was so good y’all! It was such a nice change from the usual roasted asparagus that I usually make, not to mention it takes about ten minutes total from start to finish so its kind of amazing. I figured that you probably needed this dish in your life too, you’re welcome. My easy asparagus and peas with herbs pairs perfectly with any protein you might be making and will quickly become one of your favorite dinnertime sides!
Green beans are a staple for a vegetable side dish at our house. There are so many ways to cook them, but I have found my favorite method and no other beans compare. These green beans are the kind of veggie side dish that you will want to make over and over again because they are just that good. We have them at least once a week at my house and eat them like they are French fries, true story! You will not have a problem getting your kiddos or any other picky eaters in your house to eat their green vegetables with a recipe like this. My Garlic and Shallot Green Beans are going to become your new favorite side to serve with almost every meal.
Okay we are sixteen days away from Thanksgiving y’all…can you believe it? Are you already menu planning? We will be heading to Louisiana to be with family, but I am always responsible for a few sides to bring to the table. I like to add some green to the mix whenever I can and while green beans are usually a classic, brussel sprouts make for another great vegetable option! My citrus bacon brussel sprouts are going to steal the show in the sides category and will convert even the non-brussel sprouts lovers in your family!
I wouldn't consider myself a non-computer person, but I also would not consider myself a savvy computer gal. I get by and know how to do the things I know how to do...you know what I mean? Anyway, I have been putting off creating food recipe videos for a while because it is out of my comfort zone, but yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and create my very first video with a super simple recipe that happens to be one of my favorite side dishes! My crispy roasted potatoes are perfect for any night of the week and can be served at breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
I have been a little pre-occupied with Parks' birthday and family being in town, therefore I have been a little MIA...oops. I feel like the past eighteen days of October have disappeared right before my very eyes. How is it possible that it's almost Halloween? On top of that, two of my burners on the stove went out last week due to a possible wine spillage (possibly from my mom...we won't tell her though) and I have had to be super creative with our meals due to my limited cooktop. Easy side dishes that can be done quickly to make room for the next pot are a requirement these days! My 10-minute shaved Asian brussel sprouts are going to be your new favorite healthy side dish for any day of the week!
Summer is almost here guys which means my favorite time of year for all things food is right around the corner! Vegetables and fruit become sweeter and juicier than ever before and things like a homegrown sliced tomato with a little salt and pepper or the first bite of a sweet watermelon make my mouth water! Eating healthy becomes easier than ever with so many good for you foods available at your fingertips. One of my go-to veggies that we have on a weekly basis is corn on the cob! I have the easiest method for juicy corn that is ready in a snap. My roasted corn on the cob recipe will have you whipping up this side dish all summer long!
