What does a girl do when she mixes up more honey and turmeric than she needs for a facial? (Yes, I do put this on my face! It softens the skin and leaves you feeling wonderful.) The answer - make a wonderful veggie side dish with a strange combination of ingredients that tastes amazing!
Whether you serve this with salmon or that amazing Chicken Madeira below, its a hit. I added a few shredded carrots to the cabbage mix and a layer of cooked mushrooms. Is was delicious and keeps in the fridge for some time after it is cooked.
Only once a year would I eat mashed potatoes with this much butter and cream, but oh my goodness, they are smooth, creamy, buttery, and delicious!
A traditional type of slaw gets a burst of Asian-inspired flavors when you warm it up and add mustard seed, cumin, and ginger. Crunchy, yummy, and lasts for quite awhile in the fridge.
Add a little twist to your summer potato salad with the addition of green beans and you have a refreshing variation of the classic summer side.
Ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar make this broccoli salad an Asian-inspired delight.
I tried something similar in a salad bar and had to go home and tinker with a homemade version. Raw shaved brussell sprouts may sound odd but they are crunchy and delicious. Its like a slaw only somewhat sweeter and more delicately crunchy.
Admittedly this sounded weird when the angels put it in my head, but I gave it a try and found a new favorite mix of flavors!
Crunch veggies in a dijon vinaigrette marinate overnight to make a super-easy summer salad. Great for potlucks or savory snacking!
Potato salad is good enough but when made with sweet potatoes, oh my goodness, you have a heavenly, high-fiber, summery, delicious dish that will be a hit!
Leftover carrots and a lot of yummy spices in the pantry inspired this dish. I love it now with most anything...great over salads, served with lentil dahl, even with a touch of yogurt and a sprinkle of mint... Get crazy with it. So easy and packed with flavor.
Roasted veggies are always good. Dijon dressing is always good. Mix the two and you've got double the flavor!
