Artichoke bottoms filled with veggies are a marvel, so healthy and filling, the very best part of an artichoke!

Artichoke is a fountain of vitamins and minerals and so nourishing, in general, 2 per person are enough as they are so filling…

They are delicious simply with mayo but I like to serve them filled, either cold with a tuna filling for example or hot and filled with vegs.

I live in Southern France and over here, you can find them all year round frozen.

Baked sweet potatoes, a brush of olive oil, a few spices, so easy and delicious!

It is not great cuisine and so easy to make that I have hesitated before writing down this recipe but, after all, I had no idea about it before someone gave me the tip, and we so much like this recipe in my family that I have decided to give it a go.

I am counting one medium sweet potato per person, personally I can only eat about 3/4 of one

Chestnut spaetzle pasta is a kind of free form egg pasta, very easy and quick to make, with a nutty flavor! It’s delicious on its own or as a side to saucy meat dishes.

Corn fritters, such a delicious side dish!

This time I made them with canned sweet corn, so they were a bit soft but still really delicious and the good thing is that you could add a few green peas or grated carrots, etc. to these fritters.

Fennel salad recipe, fennel salad helps digestion and soothes stomach aches. Fennel is very well known for its digestive properties, refreshing and delicious, as well as a healthy and low calories side dish!

Green beans bundled with bacon, a delicious and original side dish.

I also like these bundles as a snack, an appetizer, why not?

Errr…I wouldn’t count on leftovers with these bundles…

This easy green peas and asparagus recipe is a very flavorful side dish to any meat or fish main. For this recipe I used frozen peas and frozen green asparagus, so handy, no thawing, ready to cook and delicious!

Homemade spaetzle pasta with herbs recipe, spaetzle is a free form egg pasta easy to make at home. How to cook spaetzle: the dough is ladled and pushed through a spaetzle maker into boiling water, a colander with large holes can be used too, spaetzle noodles are gathered as soon as rising to the surface, delicious with saucy meats or on its own with your favorite pasta sauce.

Spaetzle are rather served with meats and creamy sauces, but I have read that Germans like to eat them with a schnitzel (a pork Milanese cutlet). I like to serve them in autumn with deer fillets or any cut of game and a red wine sauce.

Do you know how to cook Brussels sprouts in a way your children might like them better?

Brussel sprouts are such a great source of vitamins and nutrients but children often don’t like their rather strong flavor. I know, I so disliked Brussels sprouts as a child.

Parsnips and carrots pair wonderfully for this healthy and delicious puree!

Parsnip is a very interesting root vegetable, it has a mild taste, slightly sweet, it is rich in vitamins and minerals, contains a lot of fibers and is poor in calories.

Easy sautéed mushroom recipe, sauteed mixed mushrooms are a flavorful side to any meat or fish dish, here I made it with wild chanterelle and oyster mushrooms, they pair well together, light and delicious!
