Mama Shirley Side Dishes
When eating a meal, the main entrée is the star. But for many of us, it wouldn’t be the same without a great side dish. In fact, some of us love our side dishes so much, we could eat them for an entire meal.
Mama Shirley was a great chef who made some mean side dishes. Known for her great comfort foods, she always cooked with love. Moms Who Think is lucky to have inherited her recipes and we are so pleased to be able to share them with you.
Shirley’s side dishes tend to be on the hearty, savory side. Some of her favorites include Crispy Norwegian Potatoes, Sweet Potato Puff and, of course, her good old fashioned Macaroni and Cheese.
However, there are options for those who enjoy lighter, healthier fare like Shirley’s chopped salad and onion soup.
Shirley’s sides can all be great snacks or small meals when served on their own. Of course, if you want to make them into a dinner, hop on over to our Mama Shirley’s Main Dishes section to find great ways to use them when creating a bigger meal.
All recipes on the Moms Who Think site let you know exactly what ingredients you will be needing and offer simple step by step directions that will set you up for success.
So, get ready to dig in to some good old fashioned cooking, Shirley style! Then look forward to seeing the looks on your family’s faces when they taste the delicious dishes you create.
