Italian Spinach Soup by John SpottiswoodSuprise, surprise. Another amazing recipe adapted from Marcella Hazan's Essential's of Italian Cooking. This is one of my bibles. 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… |

Garlic Ginger Green Beans by John SpottiswoodThese 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! |

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa by Nancy MiyasakiThis is a delicious quinoa recipe that we served with our garlic lime grilled pork chops. This is flavorful enough that you'll want to serve it with a relatively simple grilled dish. It would go wonderfully with grilled fish, chicken, or steak. Or try it with the pork recipe linked below. |

Warm Brussles Sprouts Salad with Almonds and Parmesan by Nancy MiyasakiI adapted this from a Oprah recipe. She makes the salad with raw brussel sprouts. I couldn't quite trust that, so I blanched them lightly before slicing. This produced a delcious and slightly warm salad. I should have tried some raw and some cooked to see which method is best. Maybe one of you can do that and let us know? |

Quinoa with Fresh Corn and Mint by John SpottiswoodThis is a great quinoa dish to serve alongside fish or chicken. I have grown to love quinoa, and it is perfect for this dish. But this would also be great with Israeli cous cous, regular cous cous, pearl barley or even jasmine rice if you are not a fan of quinoa. The mix of flavors is amazing! Try this when fresh corn is cheap and… |

Thai pickled beans or asparagus by Mama_BI pickled green beans this way last year and we're still enjoying them now. Thai basil is relatively easy to find now, and is wonderful to grow. These pickles make great stir-sticks in savoury cocktails like Bloody Marys or Bloody Casears. Pickle crisp, while not necessary, is helpful in keeping the veggies from getting soft. |

Tabbouleh by Kiwi LouiseThis is a Gordon Ramsey recipe, slightly adapted. It has such a fresh summery taste and people are always asking me for the recipe. It's a great alternative to a rice salad. |
