Green Chicken Chili by Nancy Miyasaki

This isn't your thick beans and meat sort of chili, but it is absolutely delicious. Think a cross between a soup and a traditional chili. It's pretty healthy too with white meat chicken, hominy, and potatoes.

Yellow Split Peas with Vegetables (Dal Takari) by John Spottiswood

Wow, this is such a wonderful dish and so easy to cook! The keys to this dish are the yellow lentils, fried potatoes, and cumin seed. You can change out the other vegetables (spinach is a nice addition as it adds to the creaminess of the dish). Make sure you fry the cumin seed and potatoes over sufficiently high heat that the cumin…

Chicken Adobo by John Spottiswood

My father-in-law, who is an excellent cook, made this for us last week. I really can't imagine an easier recipe...and gives an amazing return for very little effort. I've never had whole pieces of chicken made adobo style before, but it was excellent. This is also very kid friendly. One of our sons ate 4 drumsticks!

Creamy Broccoli, Chicken and Pasta by Salad Foodie

Here’s a variation of an earlier recipe using zucchini and ham I posted (see Useful Links below the recipe), only this time I tried a different meat and veggie, and tweaked the flavors a bit.

Ricotta and Greens or Spinach Pasta by John Spottiswood

This is another excellent dish that takes advantage of delicious and healthy greens. This is a Sicilian dish that I absolutely love. Our kids all went back for seconds.

Shrimp and Tofu Donburi by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from a mixed tempura donburi, substituting fresh shrimp and tofu without the tempura batter. The result is a healthier, and still very tasty, dish that our whole family really enjoys. You can use chicken or salmon in place of the shrimp, and it is equally delicious! Donburi's are wonderful cold weather food.…
