These are great-tasting potatoes. The potatoes roast quickly because you parboil them first. The spices are found in most kitchens; no need to purchase exotic spices.
Potato Salad with Apple Recipe for Two
This potato salad is amazing. It is not drenched in mayonnaise, so the flavors shine. It’s tasty and light in flavor. This potato salad is our go-to when we need a side dish for our grilled meals.
Asian Inspired Asparagus Recipe for Two
We both love fresh asparagus, pickled or canned not so much. The sauce brings this dish to the next level. You can serve hot or at room temperature. We enjoy it both ways. This sauce could be used with fresh green beans as well.
Broccoli Salad Recipe for Two
It’s a salad that can be made almost year-round. It is crisp and loaded with flavor. Not loaded down with sauce, but enough to add a zing to the salad.
Herb Vegetable Trio Recipe for Two
We were both amazed by this vegetable dish. Bethany and I don’t usually care for thyme or rosemary, but they’re both in this dish. Bethany is not a zucchini girl so she doesn’t eat it. I love it, so more for me.
Carrots with an Asian Twist Recipe for Two
These go well with any dish that has an Asian flair. We both enjoy cooked carrots, and we especially liked these with the sauce.

My mom, Bethany’s Grandma, lived on a farm. When the green beans were in season, we had this dish often. I never grew tired of it, as I cook it often now. It is a finished dish for family or guests.
Garlic Cauliflower and Mushrooms Recipe for Two
My Cauliflower can’t be mushy, it needs to have a bit of a bite. I eat mushrooms anyway I can, I love them. This recipe surprised me with its flavor. The garlic was a nice touch and the Parmesan added a nutty note.
