A simple side dish is all you need at times, and lemon garlic green beans is most certainly a simple side dish.
I’m a fan of mixing textures, so along with the lemon and garlic in these beans, I added some toasted almonds, totally makes this dish for me.
Purple cauliflower rice is a really cool side dish. It’s a smart alternative to regular rice. One cup of white rice has 5.6 times more carbs than the same amount of cauliflower rice. Cauliflower rice is packed with vitamin C too, and purple cauliflower rice is really pretty!
Replacing regular rice with cauliflower rice is a great idea, especially for those with chronic diseases such as diabetes.
It has a great bite, much lighter than conventional rice and doesn’t leave you conked out on the sofa veering to the food coma zone.
Three cheers for purple cauliflower rice!
This is one of my tastebud crash dummies’ highly recommended side dishes – stewed sweet peppers. It’s a really simple dish. What you need most experience in, is waiting. Stewed sweet peppers take time to create, but the pay off is great. This side dish looks and tastes amazing.
Wilted red cabbage is an easy peasy side dish which can be added to almost any meal. It is beautifully vibrant and oh so tasty, and with the addition of peanuts, puts it high on the crunch scale.
Sometimes the simplest things make for the most enjoyable, and that’s exactly how I would describe these caprese skewers.
Bacon wrapped asparagus is a super easy vegetable dish. This dish is special but you can make it really special by drizzling the asparagus with truffle oil and salt crystals and splurge on some fancy applewood smoked bacon.
I haven’t met a sole who doesn’t love truffle mac and cheese, I imagine those same folks would also love five cheese truffle mac and cheese – right? Granted, it’s a little more cheesy, but if you’re afraid of extra cheese, I don’t think mac and cheese is your gig.
The recipe I’m sharing with you today is a fantastic cheesy marvel with a gooey fall apart base rising to a denser crunchy top courtesy of my friend, panko breadcrumbs. You’re gonna love this.
Add coconut curried cauliflower to your Thanksgiving dinner, it will be such a treat, something different on the table for your family and friends, and it will look so beautiful too, everyone will want to taste it.
Now that the weather is getting chilly and it will soon be cold in New York, instead of eating my brunch time favorite meal, smoked salmon scramble, on toast, I skip the bread and go for these babies, rosemary roasted potatoes.
Roasted potatoes and shallots are easy to create and will simplify your Sunday dinners. Just season them with salt and herbs, drizzle with olive oil and pop them in the oven, and let the heat do the work.
