You can substitute any color of rice or quinoa to make this gorgeous (and healthful) salad, which works as a vegetarian main course or hearty side dish.
Hyde Park Bar & Grill is famous for lots of things in Austin, Texas. But if you've been there and had the french fries, you'll help them claim fame to these wonderful bites. They serve them with a mayo/thousand...
I like this one because it's a one-pan dish-you will need a pan with a lid. You can use a can of tomatoes instead of making the purée if you wish, but puréeing the tomatoes produces a better result....
Based on a recipe from Heidi Haughy Cusick's book, Soul and Spice, African Cooking in the Americas. This book is chock-filled with Caribbean, Bahia Brazilian, and Louisiana Creole recipes. She says, "This...
I use this basic seasoning salt on just about everything. If you feel the need to add some heat to it, you could add some dried and ground hot pepper to it.
Even those who claim to not like fish will "beg" for more of this one. It is so moist and tasty. I think I would try it with Ranch dressing as well. I found a similar recipe at another site but adapted...
Here is Alton's method for making a nice creamy bowl of hearty steel-cut oats. His recipe adapts perfectly to overnight soaking. I followed the recipe through adding the boiling water, then cover it (heat...
This is a recipe from Health.com. Uses fresh roasted corn and fresh tomatoes as a topping for grilled salmon. Healthy and flavorful. NOTE: Trader Joe's sells roasted corn in the freezer section if you...
This is a delicious salad that I adapted from one by Sandra Lee of Semi-Homemade Cooking on the Food Network. She recommends using an Asian-style salad dressing such as miso dressing or ginger dressing....
I just found this recipe in my already expanding collection. It's from another web site, that much I remember, just don't recall which one. I made it for the first time last night and it was delicious....
Limpa has always been one of my favorite breads, and now I can make it in the bread machine! I use the dough cycle for this, then rise and bake in the oven. Mom always includes the orange rind, but it's...
Don't drain the macaroni too well before adding the other ingredients - a little extra moisture will keep the salad from drying out. If you've made the salad ahead of time simply stir in a little warm...
I'm addicted to this dish at a local pita chain and had to re-create it at home. The flavor combinations are out of this world; every bit is sheer heaven, I'm not even kidding! My taste buds have never...
Pleases even the pickiest eater! Full of flavor, you won't miss the meat! VERY inexpensive and delicious. We're not always the healthiest eaters, but we love this healthy meal!
Awesome flavors with all my favorite ingredients. This came from the Hillshirefarm.com website, and it fills the bill as a wonderful comfort food, especially on cool days. Enjoy!
When you think about it, "Pan Bagnat" is just a fancy way of saying "the best of all possible summer sandwiches." Unlike the typical tuna on wheat, this Provençal classic only gets better as sits, making...
This one the number one soup picked out of the Bay Life North Magazine in Traverse City. I used Turkey Sweet Italian Sausage. I added a tich more orzo to the pot then the recipe calls for.
Another favorite from La Dolce Vegan...I like to make extra...it keeps well in the fridge all week...then I use it again and again for different things when I am feeling lazy. I like to take left-overs...
Known as tinga in Mexico, this popular tostada topping is tastiest with the addition of crumbled Mexican chorizo (a fresh sausage, unlike dried Spanish chorizo).
A great dish for those summer barbecues and picnics. Feel free to experiement with other ingredients. I always add some sliced ripe olives and at times sliced stuff olives. You can also vary the green...
