	Simple Sesame Green Beans by John Spottiswood I realize that 5 stars is an awfully high rating for such a simple dish. But honestly, I end up eating a pound of green beans every time I make them this way. They end up so tender, and I love the simple flavor created by the sesame seeds and by steaming them in the broth. Depending on what I'm serving them with, I decide whether…	4 votes 1 review 1 comment 4681 views

	Kale with Kalamata Olives by Salad Foodie Kale is hearty and healthy, and often teams in winter soups with potatoes and beans. But in this recipe, based on Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, it takes center stage. Quick to prepare it is a pleasant change from other green sides. Don’t let the volume of a one pound bunch of kale scare you off - it cooks down!	1 vote 2147 views

	Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes. by Helenscooking It is mushroom season, and I wrote a lot about (button) crimini mushrooms lately. Button mushrooms have an excellent amount of selenium, zinc and manganese; all three are great antioxidant minerals. Also daily intake of crimini mushrooms for 1-2 months can reduce levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and TGs. And if you are…	1 vote 3310 views

I made half the recipe following instructions and…	1 vote 2 comments 5113 views
	Quinoa with Fresh Corn and Mint by John Spottiswood This is a great quinoa dish to serve alongside fish or chicken. I have grown to love quinoa, and it is perfect for this dish. But this would also be great with Israeli cous cous, regular cous cous, pearl barley or even jasmine rice if you are not a fan of quinoa. The mix of flavors is amazing! Try this when fresh corn is cheap and…	2 votes 1 review 1 comment 1830 views
