Side Dishes

Mexican Style Corn

Rating: 4.5 stars 32
On the streets of Santa Maria, California, street vendors (think an ice cream man with a 'trash can' full of hot corn on the cob instead of ice cream) roam the sidewalks selling corn on the cob for a dollar an ear! They slide a wooden skewer in one end for you to hold the corn. We crave it often and it's become a regular on our Saturday grill nights! Give it a try. You'll be surprised!

Corn and Rice

Rating: 4.5 stars 25
Corn rice is a flavorful Bahamian side dish with bell pepper, onion, and bacon.

Roasted Corn and Basmati Rice Salad

Rating: 4 stars 28
The unique flavor of basmati rice and the rich nuttiness of roasted corn are highlighted by fresh lemon juice and basil in a salad that's always a crowd pleaser at our summer barbecues. This salad is best served well chilled.

Lemon-Parsley Green Beans

Rating: 4.5 stars 101
This is a delicious lemony, fried green bean recipe. I found it while shopping one Saturday at the local produce market.

How to Make Country Gravy

Rating: 5 stars 142
This is a beautiful example of classic, very old-school American country cooking. There are a lot of variations, and this is my favorite. This goes on fried chicken, country-fried steak, and biscuits.

Sausage and Rice Stuffed Peppers

Rating: 4.5 stars 175
Stuffed green peppers with rice and sausage in cheesy tomato sauce. Tomato soup is used instead of tomato sauce. Very, very good.

Brussels Sprouts Gratin

Rating: 4.5 stars 492
A great way to have Brussels sprouts with a little more flair. The cream takes away the bitterness you usually find in Brussels. This is a family favorite during the holidays!
