Healthy Carrot Soufflé
When my sister moved to Georgia a few years ago, I had the chance to spend Thanksgiving with her. Amongst all the dishes on the table was a Southern staple that I thought about for months after coming home — brown sugar and maple glazed carrots. I wanted to make this dish at my own Thanksgiving dinner this year, but was shocked to find out how much sugar and butter the recipe calls for.
Time to Get the Carrots Glazing
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays; however, eating the same dishes year after year can be a little monotonous, so this Thursday all the classics are getting a modern twist. Glazed carrots have always been an essential dish for my feast, but I crave more complex flavor. Pomegranate-balsamic glazed carrots fits the ticket perfectly.The sweet glaze combines honey, balsamic vinegar, and pomegranate juice.
Hash It Out With Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
Everything tastes better with bacon and brussels sprouts are no exception. For some reason, I normally only have brussels sprouts at holidays meals, but this tasty vegetable beckons to be eaten more often.
With the cold front that came through San Francisco, it was a perfect weekend to test Tyler Florence's comforting brussels sprouts hash.

Side Suitable For A BBQ: Cole Slaw
Isn't cole slaw the quintessential American barbeque side? Served alongside sandwiches, burgers and ribs, this tangy salad is cool and refreshing. Simple to assemble and easy to take with you, its an ideal side dish for picnics and potlucks, and can easily feed a hungry crowd.
Cince de Mayo Side: Corn & Black Bean Salad
This super fresh and deliciously fragrant salad is a wonderful side dish to quesadillas, enchiladas, or carnitas. A tex mex delight, this recipe can be made with frozen corn or later in the summer with corn cut right off the cob. Bring to a potluck or picnic and make it a day in advance, so the flavors have time to meld together.
Hippie Side: Tabouleh
In honor of tomorrow being Earth Day, I thought I would give you a healthy yet super tasty 100% vegan side dish. Tabouleh is a type of salad similar to couscous with a bulgar wheat grain that is typical of Middle Eastern cooking. It is usually served cold, and makes an excellent picnic-style side.Single Serving Side: Artichokes With Basil Mayonnaise
Like asparagus, artichoke is a vegetable that is best eaten fresh and alone during springtime. Sure canned artichokes are one of my pantry staples, but there is nothing like pulling the petals off of a warmed artichoke and scraping the flesh off into your mouth. This flower like veggie is an ideal side with grilled meats and roasted poultry.
Super Side for Spaghetti: Anchovy Butter Cheese Toasts
Don't get me wrong, I love garlic bread. There is something about toasted bread, melted butter and infused garlic that I can't resist. However for many reasons, sometimes I don't feel like eating garlic bread.
