Shaved Brussels Sprout and Farro Salad

Shaved Brussels Sprout and Farro Salad by John Spottiswood

This recipe is adapted from one by Susan Spungen. I thought it was phenomenal. If you can't find Farro, you coud substitute brown rice or pearl barley, but get Farro if you can. It's wonderful. You might consider serving this as a side for Thanksgiving. It would make a great addition.

Lemon & Garlic Green Beans

Lemon & Garlic Green Beans by John Spottiswood

It is rare to have a side dish which everyone keeps reaching for instead of the main dish. That's especially true if its a fairly simple green vegetable side. But these green beans were truly that good. We used packaged, thin french cut green beans from Trader Joes. They are tender and tasty on their own, but I've never had them taste…

Vegan Bolognese Spaghetti

Vegan Bolognese Spaghetti by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love Italian food, especially pasta! This is the well known Bolognese Pasta recipe turned vegan. The texture and taste are almost the same as in the original recipe, which is a great thing! Even better, I used gluten free spaghetti. Hope you'll like it!

Roman-Style Spinach

Roman-Style Spinach by John Spottiswood

This is a great new way I've learned to cook spinach. I wouldn't have thought of adding sweetness to spinach, but I really like the way the currants and pine nuts contrast with the slight bitterness of fresh spinach. This is a new winner that I'll be cooking frequently in the future!

Shrimp & Scallops Salad in Wine Reduction Sauce

Shrimp & Scallops Salad in Wine Reduction Sauce by Suzi

This recipe is an adaptation from a local restaurant near my house called Cafe Gianni's. In fact Chef Gianni is offering cooking classes beginning in June and I plan to attend. I am so excited about that, I have never taken any cooking lessons - I am a totally self taught cook. Cook books are my friends. I looked at a few…

Simple Pasta with Spinach, Mushrooms and Tomatoes

Simple Pasta with Spinach, Mushrooms and Tomatoes by John Spottiswood

This is one of those simple recipes that are almost embarrassing to put on this website. But this was really tasty and healthy, and our kids devoured it. I have everything being prepared in parallel, so the whole dish takes less than 25 minutes start to finish. If you're tight on time, this is a winner!

Beans Tuscany Improv

Beans Tuscany Improv by Rich H

Lacking most of the ingredients for the typical Tuscan Bean recipe I decided to improvise. This dish is quick, easy to make, full of fiber and is low fat.
