Swedish Oatmeal Pancakes by John SpottiswoodI love my wife's traditional swedish pancake recipe. However, I feel much better when I eat a healthy breakfast of oatmeal, so I tried combining the two.

Lemon Paprika Tilapia by John SpottiswoodThis is a delicious version of Tilapia that we adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe. We served it with the quinoa recipe linked below. It was a great combination. I put only a small amount of the sauce over the fish as the salt/pepper/paprika tilapia sauteed with a little butter is delicious all by itself! |

Homemade Refried Beans by John SpottiswoodI'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself.

I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that… |

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… |

Green Beans with Basil and Tomato by John SpottiswoodThis is an attractive and tasty side dish. The butter, basil and tomato adds a nice flavor boost to the green beans. I've made them with garlic salt and regular kosher salt, both are delicious. If you want to spice it up, add more black pepper or substitute crushed red pepper for the black pepper. |
