Vegetarian Beet Burger by Micheline

This vegetarian burger has the unusual addition of 1 tbsp of grated beets, just enough to give the burger a pleasant color. Once cooked, this burger looks and tastes like a meat burger. It is delicious!

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…

Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots by John Spottiswood

This is a standard side dish for us when we're serving an asian-inspired meal. It's also great with any grilled meat. The honey brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots and the ginger gives a bit of spice to balance the sweetness. Orange zest and juice gives a nice acidity to the dish. If you make this, it will likely become…

Green Beans with Basil and Tomato by John Spottiswood

This is an attractive and tasty side dish. The butter, basil and tomato adds a nice flavor boost to the green beans. I've made them with garlic salt and regular kosher salt, both are delicious. If you want to spice it up, add more black pepper or substitute crushed red pepper for the black pepper.

Incredible, Skinny Roasted Garlic Mashers by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This recipe is it! These are one of my favorite ways to make mashed potatoes. And for garlic lovers, a dream come true. When you roast garlic it has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. They taste just like the rich decadent potatoes you get in a 5 star restaurant only skinnier. The skinny for 1 serving is only 94 calories, 3.6 grams…

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…

Bacon Green Beans by Beth Roan

Adding bacon makes such a big difference

Avgolemono by Carolinaheartstrings

This week the international destination that I am travelling to is Greece! Oh to go to Greece for real! Definitely one of my top 5 wishes. Luckily though I am just walking distance from a wonderful restaurant that has served our town since 1973. It was at The Continental Corner that I was first introduced to this sauce –…
