Cranberry Glazed Sweet Potatoes

Every year on Thanksgiving my favorite side dish is always Cranberry Glazed Sweet Potatoes. They are one of the best tasting and healthiest dishes on the table. Share this great dish with your family members this Thanksgiving. The side dish is very inexpensive and takes less than an hour to cook and prepare.

There is nothing like the perfect complement to a summer dinner. The Banana Apple Salad does just that! Since there is minimal cooking time for this salad, it’s a delicious, unique salad that takes a short amount of time. Try this as a side dish to some hot dogs or hamburgers!

Cucumber Tomato Salad

. The vinegar adds just the right amount of kick, and the juicy tomatoes perfectly balance out the cucumbers. I usually have this for lunch because it’s fast and easy to make. And I can always save some for later because leftovers can be prepared in a cinch.

If there is one consistent side dish that my mom serves during the summer months, it’s cole slaw. She serves it with everything – shrimp, chicken, ribs, burgers…the list goes on. But she’s got the recipe down, pat!
