This tomato bread pudding is easily prepared from on hand items, creating a side dish casserole that will be asked for over and over again. It can also be prepared ahead of time and put in oven later.
I had these beans at a dinner party. I'm so glad the hostess was willing to share the recipe. A very unique and different way to serve fresh green beans.
This is just like Nonni used to make! Fresh zucchini, onions, and tomatoes sauteed with Italian seasonings make a perfect complement to any meal. Serve alone or over rice.
I invented this recipe on vacation when the produce stands were overflowing with young, tender zucchini and yellow squash. The secret is the sun-dried tomatoes. Enjoy!
I make this recipe as a side dish for homemade macaroni and cheese and Italian pasta dishes. The leftovers work great chopped up and thrown into spaghetti sauce!
This quick and easy vegetable dish can be served as a side or as a vegetarian main with rice or pasta. I could eat it all by myself, but I put down 2 servings.
My favorite way to serve this ratatouille is with crepes. Very delicious. I also add a mixed green salad on the side, and some French bread with butter for a wonderful meal. It makes a large batch, but...

Fried green tomatoes are a southern American classic. Such an easy recipe! Serve with a little dollop of spicy remoulade sauce (which is Southern for tartar sauce). Oh yeah.
A light, yummer summer dish with zucchini, tomato, and Romano cheese. Depending on your tastes and dietary restrictions, you can play with this recipe a lot. One of my favorite ways is to sprinkle cheese...

This recipe was handed down from my grandmother. It is a family favorite. A great way to use those garden vegetables. To save time, I cut corn from the cob while other vegetables are cooking.
This was my grandmother's (Dollie Cowan) recipe. She often served this at luncheons. Tomato aspic sounds a little strange to people nowadays, but it was very popular in the South in the 1930s-50s. Dollie...
Okra, sweet and delish. Stir-fry turns okra golden brown and tender. I served as a side dish with grilled lamb or pork chops. Add rice and you have a complete quick meal.
In the South, okra is every where. I threw together this recipe when trying to come up with something different. When I make this for the kids, I leave out the tomatoes and onion.
This sheet pan dinner recipe is super versatile - you can use most vegetables for it, depending on your preference. I chop them very coarsely to save time and the cook time can vary. We eat this as dinner...
Perfect quick side dish for almost any meal. I recommend it with grilled chicken, peanut butter quinoa, rice, beans, avocado, etc. Can also be served as a vegetarian main.
