Romaine Salad with Lemon-Parmesan Dressing

Romaine Salad with Lemon-Parmesan Dressing by Nancy Miyasaki

A simple but fantastic salad with a very nice dressing. Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes add depth and flavor to this salad. We all really enjoyed this. Another amazing dish from my good friend Marci Chan!

Guacamole Tex-Mex

Guacamole Tex-Mex by Amos Miller

Super simple - fast - packs just enough punch. It will be the best you ever tasted. Bring on the cervesas, margaritas - and lots of quality tortilla chips! Just like Chipotle - but homemade!

Guacamole with Green Tomatoes

Guacamole with Green Tomatoes by Salad Foodie

A unique way to use up fall's green tomatoes. Quite tasty. If they're chopped in small dice hardly anyone will guess green tomatoes are an ingredient! Best to make ahead of serving by 30 minutes to allow flavors to "marry." Serve with tortilla chips or other southwest food fare.

A most colorful salad dedicated to my Aussie friends

A most colorful salad dedicated to my Aussie friends by Nick Roche

OK, so tomatoes are a fruit, correct? And we all know that kiwis are a fruit as well, correct? What if the two of them met each other in a most unlikely venue, say a salad? And let's say that these silly little capers decided to butt in and mix things up. Before you knew it, there was a flavor party brewing, somebody said Happy New…

Fake Out Crab Rangoon Bites

Fake Out Crab Rangoon Bites by Smokinhotchef

This recipe is a spin off of one of my favorite items found in a Chinese Restaurant. I've always loved this crispity outer layer coupled with the gooey center. Cheese tortellini provide the basic shape and mousse like center. A combination of condiments and ingredients popular in Asian cooking are used create the idea of crab…

Yellow Garlic Rice and Broccoli

Yellow Garlic Rice and Broccoli by Smokinhotchef

I make this all the time for a quick and easy side dish. Alternately, this can be a main dish by adding 1 lb. of chicken, beef, or pork. my daughter Genesis loves it and enjoys this recipe as her main dish with no meat added. I feel great knowing my children can be satisfied with a meatless meal and still be happy!

Loaded Guacamole

Loaded Guacamole by Smokinhotchef

The Aztecs called the avocado "ahuacatl" or testicle for obvious reasons. They used avocados for aphrodisiac purposes, as well as for fertility rituals. The early English called it the "alligator pear". These fruits provide major B vitamins and fiber and possess anti-inflammatory benefits as well as the ability to lower the risks…
