Corn is a pretty good add to most meals. This corn pudding has been a perrenial hit at potlucks and gatherings, earning rave reviews and an empty pan to take home.

These are the most flavorful crispy roast potatoes you’ll ever make. And they just happen to be gluten-free and vegan (if you use oil) to boot.

This savory bread pudding from Bon Apetite can be the centerpiece of a vegetarian feast or an ideal brunch dish. To simplify the prepraration, roast the squash, chop the shallots and grate the cheese a day in advance.

Best Thanksgiving Side Dish Ever!

This is the classic family dressing recipe, with raisins.

This makes an awesome side dish. Careful you don’t eat too much!

This is modified from the recipe you usually find on the bag of cranberries.

I make this without the jalapeno peppers.

A different way to have cranberries

For those of us meat-a-tarians at a loss for what to feed our vegan and vegetarian friends, this recipe works really well. Serve the falafel cakes in pocket pita with fresh sliced vegetables and cucumber sauce or tahini. Even the meat eaters love this recipe!

Right Rice is pretty good as a rice substitute, but it can become even better. This is a pretty standard treatment for Asian dishes.

The original article was entitled ‘“Mock” Garlic Mashed Potatoes’. I’m wondering why the word mock was in quotes? Does that mean it’s not really mock? Or mock mock? Anyway, this looks super delicious and I’m not afraid of calling it what it is. It might be possible to make this gluten-free and dairy-free, but it will take some experimenting.

The standard GBC is pretty basic: couple of cans of green beans, can of mushroom soup, top with french fried onion strings. This retains only some of that, but makes it into something more than a quick toss together, with some substance.

A simple, healthy dish. From Heal With Food.

“Irish cuisine is penance” – Denis Leary

I made this one afternoon, and the dish lasted two of us for several meals, and kept getting better and better. Definitely recommended with more bacon.

These creamy Middle Eastern-style potatoes are flavored with turmeric and use olive oil rather than butter. They are great alone, and for fillings in puff pastries. Amounts of salt, pepper, and other spices may be adjusted to taste.

A very tasty sounding Italian dish fit for a dinner party.

I love oven-roasted vegetables. They bring a distinctive flavour to salads and other dishes, as well as being great as an accompaniment to a main dish.

Need to try this during asparagas season.

Potatoes are a common appetizer in Spain, in small plates known as tapas, often served with garlic aioli sauce or spicy bravas sauce. Potatoes can also be found in a tortilla, a Spanish version of an omelet, with sweet onions. I love the flavors of garlic and paprika from the aioli and bravas sauces. Potatoes with onions are another winning combination. Combining all of these elements makes for a delicious dish. Paprika potatoes with onions are perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

This is the classic canapé — the perfect hors d’ouvre.

South American high-protein quinoa, cooked with onions, garlic, bell peppers, pilaf style, with chopped fresh herbs added for the finish.

This is a pretty simple way to make quinoa interesting.

Another Dutch-based preparation for Red Cabbage

I ordered two heads of cabbage, they were the size of bowling balls! Trying to figure out ways to use it before I lose it

This dish takes the sprout beyond the basic boiling or steaming and into new territory.

roasting squash and tomatoes together makes a really wonderful flavour

Tomatoes from the grocery and out of season are generally not very interesting. Roasting them gives them a great kick and brings out some lucious flavours that just using them fresh or stewed won’t provide. Roasted tomatoes are a great addition to soups and stews, and marinara or bolognese sauces.

“A casserole dish of seasonal vegetables that is so easy to prepare. It can be made a day ahead - just reheat before serving. Lemon juice can be substituted for balsamic vinegar, and you can use baking potatoes if you don’t have any Yukon Golds on hand.”

A tasty Scottish side dish. This came from a friend, Kalihva, who introduced a few different UK traditional recipes.

Savory Cabbage Pancakes are a fun and filling way to use up pantry leftovers. Fill them and top them with whatever your heart desires!

One day, my dad brought home a bundle of bok choy, and didn’t know what to do with it, so I found this and whipped it together with some other dish, and voila, a hit was born!

A tasty, non-traditional way to bake acorn squash.

Really cheesy, really potatoy, really nommy. This is one of those US midwest belly pleasers. Nothing good for you here, just great noms.

This easy roasted cauliflower is a fantastic side to pasta, meat, or seafood. It also makes a great healthy snack.

Both sweet potato and yudon gold potato fries, superbly spiced. Could also be baked instead of fried for lucsious tastiness.

Wild rice is a nutty, dense version of rice, delicious addition to casseroles and soups.
