Garbanzo Bean Salad with Tomato, Avocado, Blue Cheese and Balsamic
At a typical dinnertime my husband and I have salad, and more than once he has looked over and seen me dumping garbanzo beans onto mine resulting in a running joke that goes something like: "Do you want any salad with those garbanzo beans?" In an act of defiant sarcasm I set out a few months ago to make a salad that was literally made (almost) entirely of garbanzos and it actually turned out to be a favorite in our home. It's now my go-to work day dream lunch since it is super easy, simple and filling.

Roasted Potatoes with Za'atar
Roasted potatoes are a go-to side dish at my table. I always double the amount and use them in other dishes throughout the week. My tween daughter loves them in quesadillas, on pizza, and they are great in a frittata for a light dinner. I am always looking for a way to change them up a little. Za'atar is one of my favorite ways to add flavor. I was writing about roasted chicken with za'atar for a recent blog post and decided to roast the potatoes with it as well. They were just delicious.

Braised Whole Belgian Endives (Indivie Intere a Crudo)
This is a Roman recipe from Ada Boni's Italian Regional Cooking, a 1960s cookbook. It's a classic side dish to go with some roast beef or other roast vegetables. Extremely low maintenance, just throw everything together in a pot and cover -- just cook it very, very slowly and gently, and remember to take a peek every now and then. Mint is a really typical Roman herb, but you could basil or fresh oregano for the mint leaves. You can prepare this ahead of time and simply warm it up gently in the same pot before serving.
Raw Cranberry Chutney
Did you know raw cranberries can taste really good and are super good for your health!

Braised Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar and Soy Sauce
You know that time when you had that meal, and there was something that you never thought you'd like which turned out to not only be a revelation, but also was something that you just couldn't quite recreate, no matter what you tried? Having never liked Brussels sprouts in my life, I rocked up at a food-by-donation lunch and was served a scoopful of them by a congenial hipster lady, and I was too polite to say no. They were unforgettably good. Years later, I've landed on a "recipe" which ain't it, really, but it's close enough for me.
Roasted Carrots with Goat Cheese, Peanuts, and a Balsamic Drizzle
This is on the appetizer menu at a local Italian-ish restaurant, I love it so much that I order it as my main course every time I go. Needless to say, I had to recreate it at home. They use a wood-fired oven for their carrots, so if you have one laying around, you should too. If not, muddle through like the rest of us with your plain old, regular oven.
Potatoes à la Lyonnaise
What can you say about a simple potato dish that goes with everything? That it’s the little black dress of side dishes—but wouldn’t that be a cliché? I think it’s best to say that it is a dish I would happily welcome at my table anytime. I can’t think of a meal that would not be improved if served alongside Lyonnaise potatoes. Frankly, as I am writing this, I realize I can’t serve dinner tonight without them. That’s how good they are.
