Side Items Recipes (Most Popular)

This is one of my own recipes. It's meant to be a side dish - a one cup serving - simply because it's high in calories and with 9.8 grams of fat, well , I don't think you really want to double that number!
Serve with a large and delicious garden salad and a small serving of chicken breast and you have a great meal.

Great dish for picnics and get-togethers. Some substitutions--low fat cheese, low cal dressing--would make this dish more health-conscious.

Fontina cheese makes it nice and creamy - added tofu for a protein boost!

Easy coleslaw

Very good with pinto beans or crushed tomatoes. I also eat mine with milk(buttermilk or sweet milk)

A new way to eat black-eyed peas

Non-fat, non-yeast - Can be used to make Tortilla, Pizza Crust, Pita Bread, etc

So refreshing!! Great staple to keep in the fridge for the summer!

Great salad
Additional Suggestions:
Instead of carrots add chopped, cooked shrimp or use baby bay shrimp.
Use your favorite vinegar or seasoning to spice it to your liking.

Lamb Stew

Low Carb High Fat "Bread"

Plan ahead; start the night before.

Costa Rica's corn pancakes

Adapted from ETL dressing

Place 3 tbsp olive oil into a pan, heat over medium until small ripples form in the oil.
Press the 3 cloves of garlic and add to the oil.
Chop the onion thouroughly (I used a Texas Sweet Onion), and add to the oil. Allow garlic and onion to saute for 15 min. Then add the remaining vegetables and spices, (all chopped). This is the time to add the fresh basil leaves (chopped), and any other seasoning.

cook over low heat for an additional 20 min and sauce is ready to serve.

I like to make this ahead as a side dish or even for brunch. the serving sizes are nice for the caloric intake and you get plenty of veggies. can spruce it up with addition spices as you want.
