Buttery dinner biscuits: These warm and fluffy biscuits are the perfect accompaniment with dinner and lunch. The dough is among the most important part of making this biscuit. If you get the dough right, you can bake the perfect savory and chewy biscuit that can quickly transform any dinner dish. Although it may seem like an easy alternative to buying ready made biscuits from the supermarket, it is important to understand that homemade biscuits have a unique freshness and flavor. It is also extremely simple to bake it at home – just try a few simple bread recipes.

RECIPE IDEAS: Easy Drop Buttermilk Biscuits, Cheddar Drop Biscuits, Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, Blueberry Cornmeal Cake, Southern Skillet Cornbread, Christmas Tree Pull Apart Bread, Southern Bread Pudding


Rainbow coleslaw: A rainbow slaw made of different vegetables (or even a Broccoli Slaw Salad) can be served with Tahini and can be the perfect salad recipe accompaniment to any dinner or lunch dish. The highlight of the dish is that it is not just filling up empty calories. It is a nutritious side dish which is also extremely delicious. The most common vegetables that you can use for this one are cabbage, peppers, carrot, and onions.

You can also give this salad your twist by adding seeds and dressings. A dash of Tahini or orange juice can take things up a notch and make your slaw a winner.

RECIPE IDEAS: Cucumber Salad, Broccoli Salad, Christmas Salad with Tomatoes, Green Bean Salad, Shrimp Pesto Pasta Salad, Black Eyed Pea Salad, Caprese Everything Salad


A veggie bake: Baked vegetables are a sure winner no matter who you are cooking for. Although the dish is an all-time favorite, you can experiment with your choice of veggies. To the classic baked veggies; potatoes, carrots, baby corn and peppers, you can also add sweet potatoes, beetroots, tomatoes, leek, pumpkin. To add to the nutrition value of your vegetable bake or casserole recipe, you can also add seeds and nuts such as flax seeds, almonds, peanuts etc.
