Do you have a recipe box?  I have been collecting recipes from a variety of sources for many, many years.  Those recipes are stashed in multiple places.  One of those places is a small metal file box that is overflowing with index cards, scraps of paper, and clippings from various magazines and newspapers.  Today's grilled potatoes recipe is one of the recipe gems from the collection in my recipe box, just in time for the summer grilling season. How to Grill Potatoes with Lemon and Onions Awesome Grilled Potatoes You'll love this favorite grilled potato recipe. It is genius in its simplicity. A little butter, onion, lemon, and chicken bouillon combine to make a delicious side for your next grilled dinner.

What goes with sushi as a side dish? Occasionally, we like to have take-out sushi for dinner. When we do, I will make either this  fried rice  recipe or these Asian Vegetables as a side dish.   I particularly like these Asian Vegetables as a side dish because I leave the veggies in big enough chunks to make them easy to eat with chopsticks. After all, chopsticks are part of the fun of eating sushi for dinner! Vegetable Side Dish for Sushi or Chinese Take Out (This post contains affiliate links) The Best Asian Vegetables My vegetable preferences for this side dish are broccoli, zucchini, red bell pepper, and onions.  This is not a traditional Asian vegetable side dish. It is a simple, but delicious, mixture that is easy to whip up while the sushi is being fetched. The Asian flavor in this vegetable dish comes from a simple and easy-to-prepare sauce.

Are you a cauliflower lover?  Cauliflower is a vegetable I make infrequently. That's because I am very picky about the quality of any head of cauliflower I buy. I want my cauliflower to be pristine white, with no hint of dark spots anywhere on the head. The Best Roasted Cauliflower A Head of Roasted Cauliflower It's not very often I find heads of cauliflower that look fresh enough for me to buy.  This week I did find a beautiful little head.  It weighed just over a pound. That head of cauliflower was so pretty that the cashier at the grocery store commented on it.  We began talking about roasting cauliflower.  That conversation spurred me to think of how I might roast my beautiful cauliflower.

Everyone needs a go-to chocolate cake recipe they love.  Do you have a favorite chocolate cake recipe?  My go-to chocolate cake recipe is the Hershey's Chocolate Cake recipe you can find on the back of the Hershey's cocoa package.  I think this is the best, easy chocolate cake to make. Moist and Delicious Chocolate Cake It is a moist, fudgy cake that I always top with the Hershey's chocolate buttercream frosting, also found on the back of the Hershey's cocoa package.  Is there anything more satisfying than chocolate cake with chocolate frosting?  Of course not.

To me, daffodils mean spring.  It's not until I see that riotous yellow color bursting out throughout my garden that I believe that at long last winter is behind us. If you've been reading Just One Donna for a while you know that I enjoy having plants in my home.  I prefer easy-care plants both inside and outside.  Daffodils are pretty easy to care for, so they fit nicely into my outside garden in zone 7a. How to Keep Your Daffodil Garden Tidy  Spring Color in the Garden The trouble with daffodils is that their lovely color quickly fades and you are left with just the green leaves.  That wouldn't be too bad except for the fact that they wilt, turn brown and turn your lovely garden into a mess. You have to put up with the fading leaves for about six weeks in the garden.
