Hawaiian Crest Salsa

Hawaiian Crest Salsa by Smokinhotchef

I came up with this recipe at the spur of the moment to accompany the shrimp recipe I was preparing for a late lunch get-together with several of my sisters and my brother Ken. I had just visited the supermarket, so I had lots of fresh ingredients on hand. My sister Gayle said this recipe reminded her of Hawaii and crisp freshness…

Fresh Pintos

Fresh Pintos by Groomsie

My grandmother Manuela taught me how to make these. She used to serve them in her restaurant in Mexico. A simple recipe which can be served as a side dish or even as an entree! Great to have your kids or grandchildren sort through the beans the night before. Remove broken beans, dirt and rocks before soaking.

Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes.

Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes. by Helenscooking

It is mushroom season, and I wrote a lot about (button) crimini mushrooms lately. Button mushrooms have an excellent amount of selenium, zinc and manganese; all three are great antioxidant minerals.

Yellow Garlic Rice and Broccoli

Yellow Garlic Rice and Broccoli by Smokinhotchef

I make this all the time for a quick and easy side dish. Alternately, this can be a main dish by adding 1 lb. of chicken, beef, or pork. my daughter Genesis loves it and enjoys this recipe as her main dish with no meat added. I feel great knowing my children can be satisfied with a meatless meal and still be happy!

Squash Patties

Squash Patties by Carolinaheartstrings

So often after Thanksgiving and the holidays we quit thinking of pumpkin and squashes. But with healthy eating on my mind I wanted to incorporate these vitamin rich vegetables into a few dishes. The high fiber content leaves you feeling satisfied and they’re tasty too! Serve as a side dish or make a little larger as a veggie burger.…

Pueblo Rice

Pueblo Rice by Farrell May Podgorsek

We love this rice. It is excellent served hot or cold. It is a slightly modified version of the Pueblo Rice from the Hell's Backbone Grill restaurant in Boulder, Utah, one of the best restaurants we have ever eaten at. You can modify the vegetables seasonally. I have used blanched diced corn, green peppers, and sauteed squash. The key…

TRY THIS AT EASTER - it is a signature dish! It is sweet and savory with fresh herbs, dairy products and chicken broth. This is a North Carolina recipe, naturally healthy and rich in beta-carotene, the most common plant source of vitamin A. But who cares! This is delicious, even if it is good for you...besides, sweet potatoes…
