This Italian dish of Mozzarella, balsamic vinegar, tomatoes and basil will be just what your taste buds are looking for in a fresh and tasty salad or side dish.

This is one of my favorite quick fixes dinner side dishes. Especially in the summer when summer squash is bountiful.

I know it is summer time and you hate to turn on your oven, but perhaps you could just wrap this up in some foil and throw it on the grill to slow cook for awhile. I am certain they would taste just as good.

I had some broccoli, fresh pineapple and asparagus on hand so I decided to cook them up for a vegetable medley. I thought they were quite tasty. Here is how I prepared each of them. . .

As part of the August OAMM Menu was a recipe for Creamy Rigatoni with Chunky Tomato Vinaigrette. When I made it I had so much extra of the tomato mixture that I froze it separately to save for making some bruschetta in the future. I recently defrosted the tomato mixture and put it to use in this recipe. Here is how you can make it from scratch.

This recipe was sent to me by a former co-worker and reader who responded to my call for Thanksgiving Appetizers a few months back. It is different then the Thanksgiving mashed potatoes and uses the oven to bake them on your serving day. I thought this might be more plausible at Christmas when there is seemingly “less” food being put in the oven than at Thanksgiving.

This is holiday family favorite. I remember, as an adult, when I discovered I could make it other times of the year other than Christmas and Thanksgiving. Novel concept I know. It is great for fall and especially as you start seeing yams and sweet potatoes go on sale.

One of my favorite sides to have with pasta or other main meat dishes is this quick and easy garlic bread. It is SO much healthier than the frozen variety too! I also fix it and take it with frozen meals that I am taking to others, it is that simple.

I started earlier this week asking you for your recipes for the upcoming Thanksgiving feast. We started with appetizers, now I am interested in all those tasty side dishes.

This is a recipe my mother has been making for as long as I can remember. And in my adult life I have made them many times. I am not exaggerating when I say that every time that I make them people go nuts over them. I am asked to bring them back time and again. It could be the high quantities of sugar, or maybe it is the bacon. Who knows. They are just plain good which is all that matters.

My aunt makes these yummy potatoes for family functions that are amazing.
