African Chicken in Peanut Sauce by John SpottiswoodI first had this in graduate school when a classmate from Ghana cooked it for an International progressive dinner.

Roasted Potatoes, Carrots, and Onions by John SpottiswoodThis is a great side dish for roast beef, pork, or lamb. It would also be great with any grilled meat. The recipe is adapted from an America's Test Kitchen recipe that included brussels sprouts and excluded the onions.

Meyer Lemon Yogurt Bundt Cake by FoodiewifeI have made this recipe numerous times, as a loaf cake. I use Non-Fat Greek Yogurt, but any kind of yogurt will work well.

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… |
