Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian style

Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian style by Amos Miller

I have never been a really big fan of cauliflower, but I love potatoes and spices. This dish, known as 'Alu Ghobi', has long been a favorite vegetable side dish in my kitchen. It is simple, easy to make and very healthy for you. One seldom finds a cauliflower dish on the average restaurant menu. But you need not be a…

Roasted Broccoli

Roasted Broccoli by John Spottiswood

This 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.

Cooler Corn

Cooler Corn by Glenn

Large gatherings of people who like corn on the cob requires a couple of lobster pots or a wash tub and a lot of boiling water and patience. Not anymore. Thanks to tailgating technology there is a simple way to make dozens of ears of corn for the hungry revelers.

Simple Sesame Green Beans

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…

Roasted Vegetable Succotash

Roasted Vegetable Succotash by Robyn Savoie

Of 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.

Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes.

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…

Squash Patties

Squash Patties by Carolinaheartstrings

So often after Thanksgiving and the holidays we quit thinking of pumpkin and squashes. But with healthy eating on my mind I wanted to incorporate these vitamin rich vegetables into a few dishes. The high fiber content leaves you feeling satisfied and they’re tasty too! Serve as a side dish or make a little larger as a veggie burger.…

This is delicious, even if it is good for you...besides, sweet potatoes…

I love zucchini. I could eat it every day and often do in the summer. Nothing better than a big plate of zucchini for dinner. This recipe is easy and delicious and brings out a slight sweetness to the zucchini.

Shallot Herb Grilled Corn

Shallot Herb Grilled Corn by Carolinaheartstrings

My immersion blender came with a small bowl and attachment that allows it to work like a food processor. I love it. It is great for small quantities such as this margarine rub for corn. I had a smidgeon of the mixture left over and used it on a grilled cheese sandwich. Yum!
