Side Dishes

We have also been eating carrots and broccoli.

And I have enjoyed lots of fruit lately, such as plums, pears, peaches, nectarines, pineapples, bananas, apples and oranges.

I made this Mediterranean couscous dish that I learned from a friend of mine in Pittsburgh. It is a tasty light snack with cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, green and white onions and couscous with olive oil.

Hummus and Carrots

This hummus was very spicy due to the garlic, but we really liked it. And the carrots were great, I forgot how good steamed vegetables can be!

Mashed Potatoes

These are fairly normal mashed potatoes, but definitely tasty.

Deviled Eggs

Joel & I ate all of these within about 2 or 3 days! We loved them. They were quite successful.

Basil Pesto Cheese Bread

This was probably my favorite of our cheese breads. I loved all the flavors, of the tomatoes, pesto, and seasonings! This one was great!

First the basil

Then the tomatoes

Then the cheese, basil and salt

Amazing!

Cheddar Cheese Bread

This one is still good, but probably my lease favorite. I just love the taste of mozzarella cheese the most on the breads.

Tomato Cheese Bread

This one is a good one. When we have the ingredients, we make this one often. Tomatoes just taste so good with mozzarella cheese, salt and basil when it is warm!

Side: Garlic Bread & Salad

Did I mention that I really like garlic?! I heated the garlic in butter and then put them on the French bread to broil for about a minute. They were wonderful to me, although my mom and husband preferred a little less garlic. You can always just use powdered garlic in place of fresh cloves.

As for the salad, the classic iceberg plus romaine lettuce with tomatoes, green peppers and avocados make a light side. Salads are always such a great way of adding more nutrients to a meal.
