Corn Pudding

March 11, 2010

Corn pudding was not something we ate growing up. I think it is one of those southern or regional type foods. I don’t think I had ever heard of it until moving to Oklahoma.
I recently made it for the first time and my family loved it.  We had eaten it before when a friend made it, [...]

Roasted Cauliflower

March 9, 2010

Several years ago I discovered roasting vegetables. I had no idea how much flavor just roasting would give vegetables. I did not realize how much difference a simple thing, like cooking at a very high heat, would make for vegetables.
I now roast carrots, asparagus, and even things like green beans. A lot of times I [...]

Cowboy Mashed Potatoes

March 3, 2010

I will admit this is a bit of a strange recipe, but please stay with me on this one.
Quite a few years ago I saw a recipe for cowboy potatoes. The recipe was basically potatoes cooked with vegetables and then mashed. The recipe caught my attention because at the time a couple of my children [...]

Crispy Roasted French Fries

February 3, 2010

I love potatoes. Seriously, I love to just eat a baked potato for dinner. I don’t think I have ever had a potato dish that I did not like. Maybe my love of potatoes has something to do with growing up in the northwest. That part of the country is potato country after all.

Creamed Spinach

January 13, 2010

This really [...]

January 6, 2010

I think we all know we should be eating more vegetables. At least I know my family needs to eat more of them. But they get boring after awhile. We get tired of the same plain vegetables over and over. Because of this I am always trying to find more interesting ways to serve them. [...]

Glazed Oven Roasted Carrots

December 19, 2009

I am not a big fan of cooked carrots. Even as a child I did not like cooked carrots. I love the taste of carrots, but cooked carrots have a mushy odd texture that I have never been a fan of. That is until I tried oven roasted carrots.
Roasting vegetables at a high oven temperature [...]

Cheesy Cream Corn

December 17, 2009

I love corn. It is one of my favorite side dishes, but I like corn dishes that are a little different. The first time I had this corn dish I loved it. It was a bit unusual, but very good.
A friend of mine had brought it to a church dinner and I knew I had [...]

Fried Corn

November 5, 2009

Side dishes and vegetables in my house have become a bit boring. All too often I just take a bag of frozen peas or corn, or open a can of vegetables, heat them up, and serve them. I am trying hard to get better about this.
I am trying to find more creative ways to serve [...]
