	Garlic Ginger Green Beans by John Spottiswood These are an excellent, healthy side dish to any grilled meat. I highly recommend them with the Chinese BBQ chicken recipe below, but honestly these would go well with just about anything. Unfortunately these were tapped out long before our chicken, so make more than you think you need. They are great the next day too!	6 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 6284 views
	Asparagus Almandine by Salad Foodie From the description of this recipe reads: "Something magical happens when asparagus meets almonds and lemon. Crispy nuts, tart citrus and ... asparagus combine to make a taste sensation. This side dish is elegant for any entertaining party, but easy enough for any ordinary meal." I made half the recipe following instructions and…	1 vote 2 comments 5113 views

	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…	2 votes 1 review 6 comments 16005 views
	Simmered Daikon Radish (forofuki-daikon) by John Spottiswood This is another healthy and tasty Japanese side dish. Try it anytime you're having grilled teriyaki chicken, beef or fish. You can also make a combination of daikon and potato, cooking both exactly the same way. If you do that, peel the potatoes and cut them in half or thirds depending on the size. Delicious and beautiful!	1 vote 2 comments 6630 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

Many types of risotto contain Parmesan cheese, butter, and onion. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. Risotto is normally a primo (first course), served on its own before…	1 vote 5102 views
	Spinach and Ricotta Balls - Gnudis by John Spottiswood I've been looking for tasty ways to cook spinach and wild greens because they are so healthful. This one is fantastic. These are called Gnudis in Florence because they are "nude", e.g. missing the pasta on the outside. These are sort of like a spinach ravioli without the pasta. If that doesn't sound all that flavorful to you, wait…	6 votes 4 reviews 6 comments 6703 views
	Artichokes with Sour Cream Curry Soy Dip by Bob Vincent This recipe is adapted from The Spice Islands Cook Book published in 1961. My Mom had the book and relied on many of the recipes frequently. Though the pages are falling apart I often browse through the book as it brings back fond memories of my Mom. The dip is good with artichokes but can be used crudities, cooked shrimp or…	1 vote 3118 views
	Pickled Beets I (fresh cooked, with a sugar-free & salt-free option) by Salad Foodie OMGosh - these were a hit the first time I made them for a dinner party.

It has been passed down from my great grandmother.	1 vote 1989 views
	Garlic Herbed Sweet Potatoes by Amos Miller TRY THIS AT EASTER - it is a signature dish! It is sweet and savory with fresh herbs, dairy products and chicken broth. This is a North Carolina recipe, naturally healthy and rich in beta-carotene, the most common plant source of vitamin A. But who cares! This is delicious, even if it is good for you...besides, sweet potatoes…	1 vote 3018 views
