This one is for the gourmet cooks in the group. You can do this with any standard mushrooms and make it less exotic but the gourmet cooks will appreciate the earthy flavor of the shiitakes.

Everything goes better with bacon…as the saying goes. So this side dish will be a hit.

Timing the side dishes to come out and be warm when served can also be a challenge. I am offering up this idea for an asparagus side dish because asparagus tastes good at any temperature.

Okay. This seems so simple. Everyone wants a fast breakfast or snack. Your kids will be giddy with this as their breakfast or their after school snack.

This recipe makes a yummy vegetarian lunch or side dish to go with a protein. I also put it in Zola to GO! because it can travel to a buffet.

This mushroom dish was designed to go with steak but I am confident it will go well with chicken or even an omelet. The taste is rich so be ready for some big YUMs around your table.

This recipe is SUPER simple and SUPER BIG YUM! I don’t crave potatoes anymore but I can develop a craving for this stuff!

If you are serving this dish with the salmon, place the salmon on the plate and then spread the tomatoes and zucchini around it for color.

This look great and perfect to serve over the holidays to impress your guests.

These are perfect for a comforting snack or if you need to make an appetizer for a party. YUM!

This is a great little side salad, good with any dish.

This recipe will make plenty. You'll have enough for a side dish for six or enough to generously stuff 6 omelets.

The only trick to coleslaw is to make it ahead, as the flavors need some time to develop. This one is just about as easy to make as the other stuff is to pour out of the jar. And healthier.

Ready for Summer? This is a great way to start the day. BIG YUM!
