Sausages on a bed of LentilsThese spicy sausages are really phenomenal on top of these flavorful lentils. The original recipe recommends cooking and serving the sausage inside of savoy cabbage leaves. We forgot to bring the savoy cabbage, so we cooked the sausage directly on a skillet and served bare on top of the lentils. It was still remarkably delicious,… |

Potatoes With Parsley and Garlic - Pommes ParsilladeThese are the fantastic potatoes you've probably had in a french bistro...the ones that weren't pommes frites (french fries). They are best served immediately when the crisp exterior contrasts so nicely with the warm, soft interior. We served these with a lentils and sausage recipe that I will post shortly. The combination was… |

Chicken ChasseurThis is a healthy version of chicken in the famous chasseur sauce containing onions and leeks, and flavored with white wine, tomatoes, and mushrooms. It's fancy and delicious enough to serve to dinner guests (we served it with three foodie couples and it was a hit!) and easy enough for a dinner at home. Try serving with garlic… |

Quinoa with Vegetables and HerbsThis was easy and a delicious side for the yogurt chicken I made the other night. My sister raved about this and my husband, who normally prefers bulgur and other grains to quinoa, really enjoyed it. If you haven't had quinoa before, this is an easy and tasty dish to start with! Feel free to substitute other vegetables you have on… |

Chicken with Yogurt and Cucumber SaladThis is a simple, quick and tasty dish that our whole family enjoyed. Perfect for a summer BBQ with friends or family! Tip: Keep pounded boneless chicken from sticking on the grill by making sure the cooking grate is super hot and spray the chicken with a non-stick oil (I used olive oil) instead of oiling the grate. Also, use a… |

Fish with Thai Green CurryThis was a surprisingly excellent dish. The mixture of green curry, fish, and corn just seemed odd to me, but I had to try it. The result is delicious and a bit different from anything I've had before, The corn blends in wonderfully. We served this over a 50-50 mixture of brown and white jasmine rice. Delicious! |

Shrimp and Tofu with Bok ChoyThis is a tasty, Chinese inspired dish that our family loved. Ladle it over brown or jasmine rice on a cool evening. My recipe has double the tofu of the original recipe, and I will probably use even more tofu, and less shrimp, the next time around. Feel free to adjust the quantity of each based on your tastes. |

Tagine of Chicken with Preserved LemonThis dish may not sound as exciting to you as some of the other tagine's I've posted (which is why I didn't try it myself for a while), and preserved lemons may sound difficult to make (which they aren't), but this is an amazingly tasty and easy dish to make. Once you've tried it, I guarantee you will make it again and again. Over… |

Garlic Roasted CauliflowerI used to think cauliflower was boring and my family agreed. But I've now found so many wonderful ways to prepare it that it is becoming one of our favorite vegetables. This is an easy and very flavorful version I adapted from the Barefoot Contessa. Adjust the amount of lemon juice you apply based on your own tastes and the dish… |

Hearty Pork Stew with PumpkinThis is a great stew for making in a big pot on a cool day in the Spring or Fall. We serve it over rice, but it would also go nicely over pasta or with an artisan style bread. |
