Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic Sauce by John SpottiswoodMy father-in-law has become an amazing cook, and he made this as part of our Easter lunch this year with the fabulous pork tenderloin recipe (see linked below). This version isn't gloppy with extra sauce like you find in many Chinese take out places. It's very flavorful but also relatively light and healthful. He made a TON of it,… |

Garlic Ginger Green Beans by John SpottiswoodThese 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! |

Roasted Broccoli by John SpottiswoodThis roasted broccoli recipe, adapted from the Barefoot Contessa, is really wonderful. It has a lot of flavor. We served it with a mild pasta, and it was just a wonderful combination. Don't be worried by the lemon juice and zest. They impart a subtle flavor that adds a nice dimension to this dish. |

Stir Fried Frozen Cauliflower by Julia Ann SoudersFresh cauliflower looked so good at the summer's Farmer's Market. I froze several bags, then this winter wondered how to fix it other than boiling to get soggy limp cauliflower. By thawing first, microwaving for about 1 minute and draining well, it was ready for a quick stir fry. Seasoned and enhanced with walnut pieces made a quick… |

Simple Sesame Green Beans by John SpottiswoodI 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… |

Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots by John SpottiswoodThis 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… |

Roasted Vegetable Succotash by Robyn SavoieOf all traditional Thanksgiving dishes, succotash is the most likely one that was served at the first feast. Introduced to colonial cooks by the native Indians of Rhode Island, succotash was probably made with local shell or cranberry beans. Contemporary cooks, like their colonial counterpart's, know that roasting brings out the… |
