This side dish is a must at holiday dinners.

My husband saved this for the end of his meal because he thought it tasted like dessert!

3 or 4 broccoli stems
2 teaspoons salt…

1 cup diced uncooked red potatoes, with skin
1 cup chopped or sliced portobello mushrooms…

If you’ve never tried bok choy, this recipe is a good place to start.

1 lb. bok choy
1 tbs. white wine vinegar…

1 lg Purple eggplant (skin texture should be firm)
1 md Onion, chopped…

I have a recipe for a great sweet side dish my Norwegian Grandma makes frequently called Frukt Suppe (fruit soup). It is perfect for holidays and cold evenings.

This one is great. I like that you roast the tomatoes first, which gives the dish a nice roasted/smokey flavor. The original called for some feta cheese on top, so you could perhaps sub soy cheese if you want.

1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped…

2 tomatoes, one diced and one halved and thinly sliced
2 9 oz. packages frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and chopped…

2 tsp water
16 C trimmed Swiss Chard (about 2lbs)…

This recipe is quite good, and nice and hearty for the colder weather coming. I often just eat it like a “stew” and don’t serve it over anything like the recipe suggests, but I guess that is my own oddness! I am sure it would be good however you decide to serve it. Also, if you don’t want to spring for the more costly mushrooms, normal button mushrooms work fine!

1 pound spinach, kale, collards or beet greens (or mixture of all) (I’ve also used mustard greens)
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced…

1 1/2 cups vegetarian broth
4-5 shitake mushrooms, cut to 1/2 inch pieces (rehydrated or fresh, no stems)…
