This easy zucchini recipe is sure to please even the pickiest of vegetable eaters. A simple filling of sautéed sweet onion, zucchini, breadcrumbs and melted mozzarella cheese turn a simple vegetable into a delicious, satisfying side dish that can easily be made ahead for company.

I think of the michelada as a thirst-quenching cocktail for a lazy afternoon. Hops and carbonation (in the form of beer) are blended with savory-sweet tomato juice to produce a refreshingly spicy drink that goes down fast.

Almost as spectacular as the fireworks, this lovely salad make quite a 'bang' at our July Fourth meal. It's exciting to serve, and our guests loved the cool fruity and creamy layers. T

I think couscous is one of my favorite side dishes.  I love all of it's possibilities, especially the flavors it can take on when mixed with the right ingredients.  This truly is a "golden" couscous, not just because golden raisins are part of its ingredients list, but turmeric is used to give this dish its golden color. If you are not familiar with turmeric, it is a powder used extensively in South Asian cuisine.

Grilling the green onions in this recipe also imparts a smoky flavor. This dish went nicely with our grilled chicken and salad for dinner. I think you will enjoy it!

Easy and fast and kids of all ages love them.

Serve up those green beans in a whole new way! The tangy flavors and crunch of this eye-appealing side complement any special meal or holiday potluck.

Bacon fat in the title of a recipe??? That's a great way to grab my attention. I have a slab of bacon that I cured and smoked. Can't wait to render some of it and make some potatoes!!!

It’s a balanced, surprisingly complex drink, made with two types of bitters, gin, fresh lime juice, herbal Bénédictine liqueur, and dark cherry liqueur, mixed and served tall with sparkling water.
