Side Dish Recipes (Most Popular)

This is something I just threw together one day. It was such a hit, I added it to my family's favorites. We sometimes add chicken and make it a main dish. It is a great dish to take to a pot luck too!

This is my favorite recipe for potatoes. You can make it even lighter by using nonfat or lowfat cheese, nonfat sour cream and nonfat milk. But I like a little fat and I used what I had available! LOL

This is to die for on chicken and rice. Not low in fat or calories, but very nutritious and filling; it is high in protein and minerals.

serving size is 1/4 cup

This is so yummy! You can heat it up w/ some shredded cheese if you like on a whole wheat tortilla or have it chilled with chips, or top on a burger!!

Just three ingredients, and low in carbs. What could be better?

This is a lighter version of my mom's almost-famous pasta salad. It's a summer classic in our family and great as a side dish or a meal on it's own.

great low fat low calorie version of original

From FOR THE LOVE OF VEGETABLES cookbook.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most enjoyable. This dish is very high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and has good amounts of copper and magnesium! Warning: The cashews contribute nearly half the calories.

Almonds or peanuts would work too and ff you want you could jazz it up a bit with a little freshly grated ginger and a shake of chili pepper flakes.

mmmmmm! :)

This is a Traditional soup from Nigeria

Not your normal potato salad! Something a bit different that's high in nutrition! A good source of fiber, potassium and Vitamin A.

great in soup

My family loves pasta salad for picnics. Since I haven't been eating pasta as part of my diet, I would just make it and do without. Well, for Labor Day, I realized I didn't have pasta and decided to use some quinoa I had in the pantry. This is tasty, nutty and HEALTHY!! Your family will most likely NOT miss their pasta. Add green and red pepper, chopped onion, small diced broccolli and cauliflower, cucumber and any garden fresh veggie to make even better!

delicious and nutritious-instead of potatoes

Lentil dish: goes well with rice or tortillas

This is a tasty mix of greens and beans to have over rice or pasta. Try it sprinkled with some aged cheddar!

I LOVE eggplant and Feta cheese together it's a creamy, salty combination. Even my husband who doesn't like eggplant liked this!

I didn't like brown rice and despised lentils. This recipe changed that. I do enjoy a good curry!
