Sides

Double-Baked Potato
Fluffy potatoes intermingled with chives and butter served in the skin, topped with shredded cheddar cheese.

Mashed Potato
Prepared in a variety of ways - original, garlic or cheesy. You decide - anyway they’re absolutely delicious.

Oven Roasted Potato Wedges
This is a low-fat version of a tasty treat, seasoned with Rosemary and garlic - you’ll definitely come back for more.

Sweet Potatoes and Carrot Casserole with Molasses and Pecans
A great vegetable side dish with lots of beta-carotene. (RR)

Green Bean Casserole
It’s debatable whether this is a side or a meal. Green beans layered in a creamy mushroom sauce, topped with onion rings - delicious!

Eggplant Casserole
Good enough to eat anytime of the day. Eggplant simmered in a cheesy tomato sauce topped with breadcrumbs.

Green Beans with Coconut Sauce
My family rates this as one of their favourite vegetable dishes. (RR)

Garlicky Spinach

Broccoli & Cauliflower a la bleu Casserole
Tender heads of Broccoli and Cauliflower steamed with onion slices and mixed into a creamy blue cheese sauce.

Cowboy Beans
Everyone has their own secret recipe for beans, but after tasting this version you’ll always come back for more.

Twice as Nice Coconut Rice
A great alternative to plain old white - this fragrant rice tastes great with stir-fries. (CP)

Hoisin Fried Rice
Long grain white rice flavoured with finely diced onions, carrots, peppers, and snow peas in a hoisin-based sauce.

Cornfused
Comforting corn muffins great for dunking stews and chilies.

Dropped Off Biscuits
A low fat treat that’s great to eat. Whole wheat and onion sage biscuits go well with any meal.
