Hot German Potato SaladAnother Amish treat. I'm not a big fan of german potato salad but my Mom and her whole family from upstate Pennsylvania love it. The love hot bacon dressing on dandelion greens too. It's what they grew up on. If you have never had it, it's worth trying. |

Homemade Refried BeansI'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that… |

Bulgur PilafFaster and easier to cook than rice, bulgur is a grain to consider for making pilaf. High in fiber and low in fat makes this side dish a healthful choice. Easily converts to vegetarian by omitting the chicken broth. (Medium to large grind bulgur will be best for this recipe.) |

Ham & Cabbage HashThis is a fast dinner-in-a-skillet recipe, and a good way to use up leftover ham or roast beef. Lots of vegetables make the meat go further and keep calories, fat, sodium and carbs to a reasonable level. A healthy and homey stand-by recipe for breakfast and/or casual dinners. |

Mandarin SaladThis is one of my Mom's classic recipes. It is perfect for a large barbeque or pot luck. I talk it to a block party in San Carlos last night and it was GONE in about an hour. Very good flavors! |

Fabulous Pork TacosI made pork tacos for the Superbowl modeled after my favorite taqueria -- a hole in the wall in Playa Del Carmen called El Fogon. I may not have quite matched El Fogon, but these are darn good! I highly recommend them. I served them with Homemade Corn Tortillas (see my recipe) which were great, but they'll taste great with any… |

Asian Sloppy Joe SlidersThis is adapted from a recipe that appeared in Cuisine At Home recently. I added red onion and used more cilantro than the original. It is an easy dish to prepare in a hurry for a weeknight meal. The water chestnuts and hoisin sauce add an Asian flair to the standard Sloppy Joe. I served the dish with Myra Byanka's Napa Asian… |

Garlic & Lemon Butter ShrimpThis recipe for pan searing shrimp is one of my favorites. I adapted it from a Cooks Illustrated recipe. It is full of flavor and the shrimp will come out brown and slightly caramelized if you pan sear them as described. We tried two different recipes the same night and compared side by side. This was the consensus, but not… |

Sauteed Spinach with GarlicThis is a delicious and healthy dish that takes 5 minutes to make and goes with almost anything--asian, mediterranean or american. Barefoot Contessa has a similar recipe but adds butter and extra salt. You don't need that, but can add if you like. Fresh spinach is much better than frozen in this dish. |
