10 New Must Try Side Dishes
I was “wowed” by everyone’s awesome recipes. Since cooler weather means warm, hot meals for every meal, I decided to round up some fabulous side dishes with varieties that appeal to nearly every taste. Here is the list and I hope you find some great ideas for dinner this month!
- Twice-Baked Jalapeño Poppers with Bacon – It’s a twice baked potato with bacon. Need I say anything more? Bacon… By yours truly at HappyandBlessedHome.com.
- Mini Teriyaki Meat Loaves – By Create with Joy. I love the thought of the two flavors, Meat Loaf and Teriyaki mixed together – YUM!
- This Mexican Corn Salad by Michelle over at A Dish of Daily Life looks like it could go with so many main courses. What a great way to enjoy fresh corn!
- A Seven Layer Dip Recipe is perfect on a chip over a variety of mexican dishes including Fajitas, Tostadas, or Empanadas. I love the creamy texture and rich flavors.
- I can see myself serving this Easy Spinach and Artichoke Bake with my Teriyaki Salmon, Chicken Parmesan, Grilled Steak and so many other main courses. I’m thankful that Jessica from Living La Vida Holoka created such a flavor-packed recipe!
- This Cheesy Vegetable Casserole Recipe would be perfect with Steak Skewers, Tequila Lime Grouper, or Chicken. It looks incredibly creamy and delicious. A special thanks to The Gracious Wife for creating it.
- Of course, you have to have a sweet treat to accompany dinner, and these Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins fit the bill perfectly. I love how they balance pumpkin with a touch of sweetness. From Delightfuly E Made.
- Want a super simple, richly satisfying dish? You’ll love this Easy Cheesy Chicken Vegetable Casserole. I created it for my family and they loved every bite!
- It’s almost Pie Season! Don’t miss a delicious Flaky Pastry Dough Recipe perfect for making pie crust.
- And the Beef Stuffed Poblano Peppers by Kit over at The Kittchen would match up perfectly with nearly any main dish.
