Side Dish - Zucchini Galore

Yummy sauteed zucchini with other veggies you can find in your fridge!! Very tasty and healthy!! I sometimes add a drop of wine to give it a little more taste. Note: you can add as many vegetables as you like, but this dish can also be tossed in with pasta, if tossing with pasta, just add a lot more olive oil.

Salad - Christmas Red And Green Salad

This vegetable salad is good anytime of year. My mother served this in her restaurant. Enjoy

Side Dish - Broccoli With Garlic Butter And Cashews

A new recipe a neighbor gave us. What a hit with my family. Just the right mixture of garlic and cashews with our favorite side dish, broccoli. And, so very easy to make!! If in a pinch, you could probably use frozen broccoli too, but I haven't tried.
