Salad - Marinated Black Eyed Pea Salad

Diced red and yellow bell peppers, jalapeno chiles, onion, garlic, and parsley are tossed with black-eyed peas and crumbled bacon in a colorful salad seasoned with a tangy balsamic and red wine vinegar, cumin, and olive oil dressing.

Salad - Sweet And Sour Coleslaw

Pack in antioxidants. The ultimate in simplicity and refreshing taste, this coleslaw is flecked with green, red and yellow vegetables, the colors signifying the presence of antioxidants (cabbage is thought to have anti-cancer activity). I like its crispy, sweet-and-sour taste, unlike that of a creamy coleslaw.

Side Dish - Celery Stuffing

The flavor of this basic bread stuffing is boosted by the addition of several cups of chopped celery. This recipe yields enough dressing to stuff a 10-15 pound turkey. Bake the dressing that doesn't fit in the cavity of the turkey in a buttered baking dish. Try putting the stuffing under the skin of the breast. It makes the turkey very moist!

Cheese - Bills Blue Cheese Dressing

This is the BEST I have ever tasted, but not for the fat conscious.

Side Dish - Vegetable Whip

This is an old French Canadian recipe I have been making for years. Even people who don't like turnip will like this, since the addition of the other vegetables blend in and hide the normally strong turnip taste. Depending on your taste, you can experiment with the relative amounts of the vegetables, eg: increase the onion or potatoes, decrease the turnip.
