Stir-fried curry green beans with black eyed peas

Stir-fried curry green beans with black eyed peas by John Spottiswood

I love it when I stumble on a recipe that puts together ingredients I love, but wouldn't have thought of combining, and then far exceeds my expectations. This recipe, which I adapted from a new book we bought called Tangy, Tart, Hot & Sweet by Padma Lakshimi, really shines. She encourages the use of chinese long beans instead of…

Ricotta and Greens or Spinach Pasta by John Spottiswood

This is another excellent dish that takes advantage of delicious and healthy greens. This is a Sicilian dish that I absolutely love. Our kids all went back for seconds. It's also quite beautiful...the lousy picture I took does not do it justice. A healthy and yummy treat! This is also adapted from Red White and Greens by Faith…

Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots

Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots by John Spottiswood

This 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…

Chilled Italian Zucchini Appetizer

Chilled Italian Zucchini Appetizer by John Spottiswood

This is a fantastic recipe that I adapted from Marcella Hazen. She recommends serving this at room temperature, but I've had a similar broccoli appetizer at a great local Italian restaurant and they chill it, so I thought I would too. I think it would be great either way. If it's hot out, and a chilled appetizer would be nice, then…

Grams Squash Casserole by Evil Fairy

My Grammother made this way back when..I just tweaked it a bit. I have even fed this to people who hate squash and they loved it. YOU CAN OMIT THE SQUASH AND ADD CORN AS THE VEGGIE INSTEAD TO MAKE CORN CASSEROLE.BOTH ARE DELISH.

Broccoli Cole Slaw with Craisins

Broccoli Cole Slaw with Craisins by Denise Sherin

This is one of those things that you throw together because it's what you have on hand. I used bottled slaw dressing because I was in a hurry, I think a creamy caeser dressing would be nice too. It turned out that we really liked it as a different type of slaw. My son can't get enough of it, so we will be making it again.
