One of my fave side dishes...

I love potatoes. This is one of my fave ways to fix them: fried!

I put them in a bowl with some olive oil and whatever seasonings...I like sea salt, pepper (sometimes black pepper, sometimes cayenne), and parsley.

Sometimes I'll add onions or even hot peppers. Sometimes I make a version of this with red potatoes, and sometimes I make these potatoes on the grill (after peeling and washing potatoes, slice and then dry them a bit. In a large container or plastic bag, add the potatoes, olive oil, and whatever seasonings. Stir or shake until all of the potatoes are covered with oil/seasonings and refrigerate until read to cook. If I'm doing the potatoes on the grill, or if I am using red potatoes, I cook them with the skins on until they are firm but not hard. I then slice into fairly thick chunks and coat with oil/seasonings as above. These are always a big hit and there are NEVER any leftovers!)

Last night for dinner, I made fried potatoes, steamed green beans, and salmon. I am mainly a vegetarian (not a vegan) who sometimes, very rarely, eats a little fish. I ate a small piece of salmon last night. So I guess that'd make me a pesce-vegetarian. Some of the time. :)

I seasoned the steamed green beans with a little bit of olive oil, sea salt, and lemon. Sometimes I'll add parsley, or oregano to the green beans. Or sometimes I add slivered almonds for extra protein and flavor.

The salmon was pan seared in a bit of olive oil and lemon. I use lots of fresh squeezed lemon in my cooking. We love the flavor and it adds Vitamin C. I also use a lot of parsley...a good source of Vitamin C.
