Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian style

Cooler Corn

Cooler Corn by Glenn

Large gatherings of people who like corn on the cob requires a couple of lobster pots or a wash tub and a lot of boiling water and patience. Not anymore. Thanks to tailgating technology there is a simple way to make dozens of ears of corn for the hungry revelers.

Japanese Spinach Salad, Ohitashi by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious way to consume large quantities of one of the healthiest foods on the planet...spinach! I came to love this when I lived in Japan from 1991-1992, and make it frequently now because it is so easy, healthful and delicious. Serve this with any Asian dish, or any meat and potatoes. It's not particularly spicy, but…

Stir Fried Frozen Cauliflower

Stir Fried Frozen Cauliflower by Julia Ann Souders

Fresh cauliflower looked so good at the summer's Farmer's Market. I froze several bags, then this winter wondered how to fix it other than boiling to get soggy limp cauliflower. By thawing first, microwaving for about 1 minute and draining well, it was ready for a quick stir fry. Seasoned and enhanced with walnut pieces made a quick…

Homemade Refried Beans

Homemade Refried Beans by John Spottiswood

I'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…

Croatian white onion sauce by Easy Cook - Laka kuharica

Traditional and delicious Croatian sauce that goes well with all kinds of cooked meat. Note: Do not omit or substitute wine vinegar with any other vinegar.

Orange Sauce (for cooked carrots)

Orange Sauce (for cooked carrots) by Micheline

Are you tired of serving plain carrots? This is an excellent sweet sauce you can serve on top of cooked carrots to impress family and friends. You can serve the plain sauce or as in the photo you can add peeled orange slices to the sauce before adding to the cooked carrots for a fancier looking dish or for a special occasion.

Cranberry Cole Slaw

Cranberry Cole Slaw by Linda Simon

Are you craving crunchy freshness right about now? When meltingly tender slow-cooked stews and soups predominate. They are welcome, but sometimes you want some bite-y food. And make that simple, quick, healthy, and low cal too, please. I like this lightly dressed and fat free. But you can easily add oil if you want to increase…

Fat Free Sweet Potato Souffle

Fat Free Sweet Potato Souffle by Carolinaheartstrings

If you live in the Carolinas you are pretty much required to love sweet potatoes. And generally they’re pretty healthy but to make them really tasty traditional cooking adds lots of sugar and butter. I wanted to keep the yum factor but reduce the unhealthy factor. Try this version below using a few substitutions including pureed…
