Swiss Vegetable Medley

It’s time for an easy side dish. Something I can make quick but still enjoy. Veggies. Cheese. Creamy sauce. Oh, and crunchy French fried onions. This Swiss vegetable medley cooks up in no time and is quite tasty. It’s also easy to change up for your tastes. Skip the French fried onions and use French’s crispy jalapenos instead (Have you tried them? They are fantastic!). Swiss not your thing? Pepper jack cheese is a great kicked-up alternative

I think this may be Anita’s favorite side dish for a cold night. I have to agree, this Swiss vegetable medley is mighty darned good!

Vegetable and Meatball Soup

I had pretty low expectations when I set out to make this vegetable and meatball soup. I was very pleasantly surprised in the end. It came out very tasty despite being incredibly easy to make. This isn’t some fru-fru dish here. You’re not going to spend hours in the kitchen prepping for it. It’s not that kind of a thing.

I’ll definitely make this vegetable and meatball soup again! It’s perfect on a night when I just don’t have a lot of time to throw dinner together, but still want a filling meal.

For another a-little-different meatball recipe, try my Hawaiian BBQ meatballs with fried rice.
