	Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa by Nancy Miyasaki This is a delicious quinoa recipe that we served with our garlic lime grilled pork chops. This is flavorful enough that you'll want to serve it with a relatively simple grilled dish. It would go wonderfully with grilled fish, chicken, or steak. Or try it with the pork recipe linked below.	5 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 4473 views
	Caribbean Peas & Rice by John Spottiswood This popular dish throughout the Caribbean is similar to red beans and rice, but made with a few more spices and with crowder, pidgeon, or black-eyed peas instead of red beans. If you can't find any of these, though, red beans make a fine substitute. This is great comfort food that is a nice mellow contrast to spicy-sweet Caribbean…	1 vote 4960 views
	Sweet Zucchini Pickles by Salad Foodie Too many zucchini - what to do? A recipe by Chuck Allen (Palm Springs) caught my eye. Expectations are high from this retired chef, so he takes this recipe as a hostess gift. It is as colorful as it is delicious and lasts about 6 weeks refrigerated. The only thing I added was small cauliflowerettes. What an attractive conversation…	1 vote 3365 views

	Chow-Chow Relish by Salad Foodie Fall's green tomatoes are a perfect base for a batch of chow-chow. This pickled relish or condiment is lip-smacking good on hotdogs, hamburgers, fish, poultry, beans - oh, just everything! This version is a fusion of a friend's recipe and several others I compared it to, and I really like the results! A stash of 6 pints or 12…	1 vote 2 comments 7097 views
	Butter Basmati Rice by Mihir Shah Okay - so I know this is a painfully easy recipe, but it's amazing how much you can dress up rice with just a couple of touches. I make this for my kids, who love it.	1 vote 7963 views
	Sesame Noodles by kathy vegas Sesame Noodles can be found on just about every Chinese menu these days and for good reason, Sesame Noodles are wonderfully addicting just by themselves, served as a side dish with grilled chicken or served topped with crisp stir fried vegetables. They also travel well and are a perfect dish to take to a potluck or picnic. Fresh…	5 votes 2 reviews 2 comments 5963 views

	Pumpkin Risotto by Robyn Savoie Risotto is a class of Italian dishes of rice cooked in broth to a creamy consistency. The broth may be meat, fish, or vegetable-based. Many types of risotto contain Parmesan cheese, butter, and onion. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy.

	Knepp (Amish Dumplings) by Denise Sherin Knepp are Amish dumplings they are part of an old amish dish Schnitz und Knepp. I will post that recipe as well, but these dumplings can be used in soups and stew too.	1 vote 2753 views
	Corn Cilantro Rice by Mary Joseph This rice dish is a little sweet from the corn and a little tangy from the cilantro. It goes great with your favorite tacos or even something like tuna burgers.	1 vote 7170 views
	Cranberry Sauce (low sugar, if desired) by Karen Fresh cranberry sauce at its best. I use orange juice so that I don't need to add so much sugar. Love it!	1 vote 1998 views
	Mashed Potatoes and Cabbage (Colcannon) by Salad Foodie A perfect way to boost nutrition in mashed potatoes, this is a favorite Irish side dish but can certainly appear at Oktoberfest in late September with bratwurst or sauerbraten. I like the subtle crunch and texture cabbage provides, and using red potatoes and leaving the skins on, adds extra color and nutrition. (An optional version…	2 votes 1 review 5604 views
	mashed potatoes by david spottiswood These are special, and go well with the pan gravy recipe I am posting. Using Yukon Gold potatoes, you can either leave all the skins on, or, as I do, peel half the potatoes. This recipe is for four. I omit the salt if serving with the pan gravy (the bacon makes the gravy salty enough)	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 1958 views
