        A lot of our dishes would make Paula Deen and the Pioneer Woman blush, but one healthy ‘rule’ we follow is to have SOME kind of green veggie with every meal.   This roasted Asparagus with Lemon is one of our favorites.   We love to have it with any kind of […]

       This Basic Rice Pilaf is so easy and incredibly tasty!  We have never had any leftover.  We had it the other night with our Brown Sugar and Lemon Chicken Breast and it was a perfect way to soak up the leftover sauce.  This is the rice pilaf recipe I always start with, and I […]

Broccoli Salad is one of my all time favorite salads and the PERFECT make ahead side dish for the holidays!  I can guarantee you I have made and tried every single broccoli salad recipe in the world.   Ok maybe not, because there are probably thousands and some contain raisins, blech.  Some don’t have bacon.

      We had these yummy Southern Style Peas with our Oven Fried Chicken & Gravy the other night!  They are our whole family’s favorite green veggie!  When we first got married, Uncle Bee told me he wouldn’t eat any vegetables except for corn and potatoes. I am reasonably certain those don’t even count […]
