Creamy Cauliflower And Lakers Magic! by kathy gori

One thing I love about fixing a tandoori chicken lunch is the simplicity. Once the chicken has been marinated, nothing goes better with this dish than a bread some pickled cucumbers and one veg.

Squash In A Spice Paste Done Pronto! by kathy gori

This has been one hell of a week, one of those 7 day stretches that includes everything on lifes' smorgey...except dental. Of course the week's not over yet.

Potato Filled Onion Cups by Robyn Savoie

These onion cups are a nice switch from the usual side dishes. Sometimes I like to add shredded sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese to the cups for a tasty twist. Try mixing in crumbled bacon too. Either way, they're savory and satisfying.
