On The Side...

I don't know about you....but for me... finding new recipes for side dishes is a task at times!  Seems I always revert back to the ones that are tried and true.  Well, I've found two side dish recipes this week that I want to try.  Both these recipes come from North Carolina church cookbooks.  So... I know they'll be good!!  Maybe I'll take these to the Potluck Dinner this weekend!
