	Chinese Vegetable Soup by John Spottiswood I love to throw this recipe together when I am in the mood for a healthy and spicy meal. Just about every time I go to an Asian grocery store I end up picking up the ingredients for this tasty soup. This is not from any book...just pieced together from the great bowls of soup I've had in hole-in-the-wall chinese restaurants in the…	3 votes 1 review 2 comments 54013 views
	Garlic Ginger Green Beans by John Spottiswood These 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!	6 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 6284 views
	Yellow Split Peas with Vegetables (Dal Takari) by John Spottiswood Wow, this is such a wonderful dish and so easy to cook! The keys to this dish are the yellow lentils, fried potatoes, and cumin seed. You can change out the other vegetables (spinach is a nice addition as it adds to the creaminess of the dish).

It's not particularly spicy, but…	2 votes 1 review 6 comments 16005 views

	Spicy Lentil & Bean Soup by The Kitchen Magpie - Karlynn Johnston I have been looking for more ways to serve beans and lentils that aren’t boring, since my non-meat eating son needs protein in his meals. And the fact that they are incredibly healthy for us is a huge bonus as well. Soup is a great way to incorporate lentils and beans into your diet, especially since it is so satisfying in the…	1 vote 2968 views
	Sesame Noodle Salad by Karen A cold noodle salad with homemade peanut sauce. Great dish to bring to a summer potluck. Hearty enough to be an entree, but really just a salad. For those who can not go without meat, 4 oz. of cooked chicken can always be added.	2 votes 5438 views
	Butternut Squash Soup by Judy Fisher This savory soup is delicious and filling on a cool day. The curry and garlic give it a wonderful flavor. This is a family favorite that I learned at a cooking class given by Rachel Perelman who is the chef at my daughter's school. Serve with salad and a crusty bread.	1 vote 3 comments 3806 views
