Sides

Simple Sauteed Brussels Sprouts

October 31, 2020 by Tino Marie Leave a Comment

A few thoughtfully chosen seasonings and a punchy, acidic finish are all you need to create a quick and healthy side dish featuring Brussels sprouts. I’m the person that embraces ‘yucky’ vegetables. Kale? I’ll eat that. Spaghetti squash? Heck yes. Brussels sprouts? Game on.

Jalapeno Popper Creamed Kale

September 24, 2020 by Tino Marie Leave a Comment

Your kale-hating friends won’t hate this Jalapeno Popper Creamed Kale, with its jalapeno heat and cream cheese-y goodness. Top with breadcrumbs or bacon pieces if you want to really shut up the haters. I have a very special announcement to make: I figured out how to make kale palatable to the kale-haters.

Kohlrabi Slaw with Lemon Vinaigrette

September 3, 2020 by Tino Marie Leave a Comment

Spiralized kohlrabi makes a surprisingly solid slaw, and its mild flavor lets this beautiful homemade lemon vinaigrette shine.  I’m a sucker for a good salad dressing, especially vinaigrettes. I’ve been guilty of overstaying my welcome in the salad dressing aisle in grocery stores as I contemplate which to try next. While simultaneously repeating to myself…

Grilled Zucchini Crostini

July 28, 2020 by Tino Marie Leave a Comment

Grilled zucchini is an unlikely but welcome addition to goat cheese topped crostini, offering a unique way to enjoy the delicate squash. Lock your doors, it’s zucchini season!  It’s that time when those who decided planting zucchini was a good idea a couple months ago are starting to feel overwhelmed with an overabundance of zucchini….

Tex-Mex Pasta Salad

June 23, 2020 by Tino Marie Leave a Comment

This festive Tex-Mex Pasta Salad with homemade Jalapeno Lime Vinaigrette is a summer side dish MUST.  One of my favorite summer side dishes has always been a cold pasta salad. Not so much the mayo-laden ones, but the pasta salads showered in Italian dressing. They feel light on a hot day, despite the abundance of…

Coconut Rice Krispie Treats

June 9, 2020 by Tino Marie Leave a Comment

Coconut Rice Krispie Treats are perfect for coconut-crazy confectionistas. Coconut is added THREE ways, guaranteeing every bite is crisp coconut perfection.  The best desserts have coconut in them. For some the best desserts have chocolate. For others, it’s salted caramel. But for me, it’s coconut all the way.  When I want a coconut-forward dessert –…

Coca-Cola recently jumped into the sparkling water space, with 8 fizzy flavors that hit shelves nationally on March 2nd of this year (2020).

Corny Quinoa Salad with Jalapeno Lime Vinaigrette 

May 21, 2020 by Tino Marie 1 Comment

Nutritious and delicious, Corny Quinoa Salad will quickly become a summertime staple with its sweet pops of corn, earthy bell pepper, mild green onion, and zingy jalapeno lime vinaigrette.  Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah, not Quinn-O-AH, as I say it to myself when spelling it out) has been enjoying the limelight in the healthy food world alongside…

Easy Seasoned Refried Beans

For those who crave flavorful refried beans in a fraction of the time, Easy Seasoned Refried Beans is one tasty shortcut.

Refried beans have gradually become one of my favorite side dishes. Highly anticipated upon visits to Mexican restaurants, met with delight when they are exceptionally delicious. I say gradually because it wasn’t until I learned how to make refried beans at home that I grew to love and appreciate them. Because making them is a…
