Apple, Pecan, and Blue Cheese Salad with Dried Cherries
We love this salad. I think I served it at every opportunity last year.
Side Dish
Avocado and Feta Cheese Dip
This is a super easy, healthy, and very tasty appetizer. It's great for a keto or THM diet. It can be eaten with tortillas, naan bread, fresh vegetables, or a spoon.
Baked Crab Dip
Hot baked crab dip served with bread. Even family members who do not like crabmeat love this dip.
Baked Mac and Cheese
A great Mac and Cheese recipe featuring three types of cheese. The picky husband, who doesn't care for Mac and Cheese, approves of this recipe.
Black Bean Chili – THM
Our favorite alternative to real chili --- real chili always takes precedence these days.
Bok Choy with Garlic and Chilies (Pair with Miso Salmon)
Steve and I watched a cooking show online for Mizo Carmelized Salmon and Bok Choy as a side dish. Very different, very flavorful, can get a bit too hot (spicy) if you are not careful. A nice dish for a special occasion. We also served rice on the side.
Bread Bowls
A simple recipe for bread with a minor twist - making bread bowls. Italian bread recipe from Brown Eyed Baker.
Bread Stuffing
Classic from the Betty Crocker cookbook.
Broccoli Cheese Soup
A flavourful recipe, but we opt for a slightly healthier version these days.
Broccoli Salad
This is a great side dish for grilled meat or a festive side dish (use the dried cranberries) at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Cranberry Orange Relish
A delightful change from the ordinary. This is a must-have (according to the picky husband) for all holiday meals.
Creamy Crack Chicken Soup
This creamy crack chicken soup recipe is loaded with incredible cheesy flavor! The perfect winter comfort soup prepared with bacon, chicken, cheese, and spinach.
Creamy Mashed Potatoes
This is the best mashed potato recipe by far. So creamy and tasty, you don't need gravy.
Deviled Eggs
This classic deviled eggs recipe combines mayonnaise, mustard, sour cream, a selection of seasonings, and green onion to create the best deviled eggs you’ll ever eat!
Maryland Crab Cakes Recipe
A recipe I have been using for a very long time. Others say this produces the best crab cakes.
Smoked Brisket Keto Mac and Cheese
The picky husband is not a huge fan of cauliflower, but he suggested substituting it for the pasta in the original recipe. This is his favorite way to eat cauliflower, and once you try it, you may not go back to noodles.
Spicy Pasta Salad with Smoked Gouda, Tomatoes, and Basil
Every time I take make this recipe, people love it. It is just a little spicy with the adobo sauce. One of my kids favorite pasta dishes.
Tzatziki
The story behind this recipe is that my husband used to frequent a Greek restaurant called Mykonos in downtown Wiesbaden. He would order dark bread and tzatziki as an appetizer. It was difficult to find a recipe that was close to the flavor and quality, and this is the best he has found to date.…
Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes
I find this recipe better than the other twice-baked potato recipe I posted. These have always been a big hit. They are a wonderful side dish for any meal and are terrific heated up the next day. This is an easy side dish with lots of flavor.
