Italian Spinach Soup

Italian Spinach Soup by John Spottiswood

Suprise, surprise. Another amazing recipe adapted from Marcella Hazan's Essential's of Italian Cooking. This is one of my bibles. Not only did I love this spinach soup, but all four of my kids did too! Everyone had mutiple servings. We served it with simple sourdough toast, though Crostini (Italian croutons) is what Marcella…

Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (with Pressure Cooker Option) by Salad Foodie

Inspired by a recipe from New Paradigm Cooking (Sandbach, Terranova and Ware), I chose to forego the cookbook’s recommended 30 minutes simmering time in a stockpot, for a pressure cooker rendition which cut the cooking time to well under 10 minutes…

Sweet Zucchini Pickles

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…

Quinoa Pilaf with Pine Nuts by John Spottiswood

This is an easy and tasty side dish we served with stuffed chicken breast. The original recipe called for bulgur, but we had quinoa on hand and I think it worked wonderfully.

A refreshing light pasta salad for a main dish luncheon or summer potluck. I like small or medium shell pasta, but elbow, ditalini or bow tie pastas are good choices too.

Vegetarian Sausage Goulash

Vegetarian Sausage Goulash by Joanna Spray

Perfect goulash for those cold winter nights. You can use soy ground meat (looks like ground round) or the sausage like meat. Feel free to use fresh mushrooms, if you do, add them when you are browning the sausage. Adding fresh greens would be great too!

Smashed Potato Salad with Escarole

Smashed Potato Salad with Escarole by Mark Bittman

The key to success here is to be generous with the olive oil, whose flavor takes mere potato and greens--whether escarole or any other strong-flavored green like radicchio, dandelion, endive, or chicory--from humble to sublime. This is perfect picnic food, with or without meat, cheese, or eggs (see variations).

Quinoa with Fresh Corn and Mint

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…
