I live in dandelion central. As soon as the weather turned warm, every yard in my neighborhood was covered in them, so I decided to try out this eating weeds thing. These are SO good for you; I had no idea until I ran the nutritional analysis.

Scrumptious Sweet Potato Sticks
You can cut these steak fry size or quarter small sweet potatoes; cutting them down to regular french fry size is very tasty too. When you get it just right, they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yummy!
Herb-Roasted Potato Wedges
This recipe is so easy to make, and is such a beautiful side dish to almost any sandwich. We love this kind of side for our game night dinners when we tend to go with Turkey Burgers or Root Beer Barbecued Beef Sandwiches.
Stove Top Quick Skillet Green Beans
Kaylee does not like soft green beans. She likes hers cooked al dente with garlic and onion. This is a “quickie” with garlic powder and onion powder.
Slow Cooked Kidney Beans
It is hard to find a good bean recipe that doesn’t contain pork of any kind. Even buying canned beans, you have to read the label carefully to make sure that it’s pork-free. It’s nice to find a slow cooked bean recipe that is just beans and seasoning.
Allspice String Beans
These soft green beans are a great side to any meal, and a tasty and filling Daniel Fast and Orthodox Fast friendly dish.
Moroccan Rice with Dried Fruit and Nuts
Also known as Roz bi Saffran. I modified this recipe to be able to make it with what I had on hand; I didn’t keep saffron in my cupboard, but I had a package of saffron rice. I am posting the recipe as I made it, so that I can be confident that you’re getting a good recipe that I’ve tried out.
Homemade Refried Beans
I never realized how easy it was to make refried beans. As much as we love Mexican food, I hate to think about how many cans of beans we’ve gone through. This recipe is great as a side dish or in any recipe that calls for refried beans, and it makes 2 cans worth (about 2 pounds).
Freezing Fresh Corn
When I found corn on the cob on a fantastic sale, I called my grandma, my foremost authority on preserving, and said, “Now what?” The first time I ate this, I was amazed at how fresh it tasted, like I had just picked it that day and cooked it for dinner. It was the best frozen corn I’d ever eaten.
