We do not cook squash enough in our household, but this is a quick and easy way to cook it that we need to do more often, honestly.
All tagged Side Dishes
Twice Baked Potatoes
These are very classic, but also often forgotten about. We love them, and it help keep us from eating an entire potato! I really did just wing it when it came to the ingredients, so adjust according to your preferences. But I am listing about what I used.
Air Fryer Seasoned Okra
I love our air fryer, but we go through moments of not using it. We love cooking okra, but it can stink up the house if we fry it. So I decided to try it in the air fryer. I have made it two ways. You can find one way here. The other way is below and is much easier.
Cauliflower Nachos
My Noom goal specialist sent me the recipe a while back, and I loved it. I wouldn’t necessarily fix it every time we did nachos because I also love my homemade tortilla chips, but it is a great alternative.
Homemade Fries
I found this recipe on Noom, and we really enjoyed it. If you want to find a healthier fry, this is definitely it. And it is green on Noom!
Cranberry Fluff
So I absolutely love this side dish as the holidays. I actually never had it until my first holidays with Brad’s family. I have never tried to make it at home because I would be the only person to eat it. But this year I did make it for my family at Christmas. And while they tried it, my mom prefers traditional cranberry sauce (from a can of course) and no one else is a fan. But it was great, so I wanted to share.
Garlic Asparagus
This is another recipe I found on Noom. It isn’t that much different than our ordinary asparagus, but it does add a little bit of change.
Mexican Corn
So I bought a bag of Mexican corn from Costco a while back and knew I would love it, but I didn’t. It just had an awful flavor. This recipe has all the flavor I hoped for, but my only complaint was how cold it was after mixing everything in with it. I think it would be great heated up after the fact, maybe, or even eaten right away.
Bisquick Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
So I usually take the lazy way out and buy these biscuit mixes pre-made from the store. They are $1, you add milk or water, and all done. But I don’t always think about getting them, so I also make them from scratch on occasion.
Air Fryer Croutons
These air fryer croutons are probably my favorite homemade croutons thus far. I made a bowl full and they were gone that night! Super delicious!
Corn Casserole
One of the new dishes I wanted to make for Easter was a corn casserole. I love corn, but I wanted something a bit fancier for Easter. It turned out delicious and was really easy to make.
German Fried Potatoes
This is one of the posts I found in my drafts that I apparently never posted. But these are still some of my favorite potatoes even though I can’t have the bacon anymore!
Grilled Potatoes
One of the side dishes that I LOVE at Baumhower's Wings is their grilled potatoes. They are great with butter and sour cream, but amazing with ranch. So we decided to recreate them at home. And honestly, it is now my absolute favorite way to cook potatoes!
Grilled Corn
So for July 4th, we bought corn to grill along with our smoked ribs and potato. Well we were out of aluminum foil, and I didn’t realize this until right before needing to cook it. So I attempted a new method…grilling the corn in the husks.
Baked Zucchini
I have a few zucchini recipes here on the blog already, but this is probably one of my most favorites (grilled zucchini is my absolute favorite). This is a very similar recipe, but I did add some garlic and pepper too.
Balsamic Chicken
I love one pot meals, but they are hard to do now with Brad having diabetes. Most one dish meals are full of carbs, or just aren’t good at all. So when I ran across a meal with chicken and asparagus, I thought I had to try it! I wasn’t too fond of the tomatoes (although Brad liked them), so next time I might try some squash or another non-green veggie.
Roasted Red Potatoes
I made these potatoes the other night for dinner with Emily and Justin. These are super easy to make and are perfect for a crowd.
