	Creole Style Butter Beans by John Spottiswood Butter beans (another name for Lima beans) are super healthy and flavorful. I've been looking for a simple and flavorful way to cook these, and after a lot of research I found and adapted this delicious recipe. This is flavorful and hearty enough to make a full meal out of, probably accompanied by a salad or green vegetable and some…	12 votes 3 reviews 8 comments 10514 views
	Easy Pan Fried Tomatoes by Nancy Miyasaki This recipe is incredibly easy and really tasty. We're healthy eaters, so frying tomatoes isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But you have got to taste these. Amazing! Disclosure: we used fresh tomatoes from our garden that were really flavorful. You may not get the same results with less flavorful tomatoes. We served with…	11 votes 4 reviews 1 comment 21639 views
	Potatoes With Parsley and Garlic - Pommes Parsillade by John Spottiswood These are the fantastic potatoes you've probably had in a french bistro...the ones that weren't pommes frites (french fries). They are best served immediately when the crisp exterior contrasts so nicely with the warm, soft interior. We served these with a lentils and sausage recipe that I will post shortly. The combination was…	10 votes 7 reviews 3 comments 4696 views
	Green Beans with Basil and Tomato by John Spottiswood This 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.	9 votes 4 reviews 3 comments 7519 views
	Homemade Refried Beans by John Spottiswood I'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that…	7 votes 3 reviews 5 comments 8467 views
	Miner's Mush by Lyndsey My French Canadian grandma used to make this for my dad and all his siblings. It has become a Jordan family staple. I like it with the anise, but feel free to adjust the amount or eliminate it all together. Kids generally don't like it with anise.	5 votes 2 reviews 3 comments 8051 views
	Shredded Brussel Sprouts by Nancy Miyasaki If you've never had shredded brussel sprouts before, you're in for a treat! These are really tasty. They have less of the bitter taste you get with whole or halved brussel sprouts, so people who are not brussel sprout fans may still like them. And brussel sprout lovers like me will still thoroughly enjoy them! To save time, use a…	4 votes 1 review 9638 views
	Sauteed Spinach with Garlic by John Spottiswood This is a delicious and healthy dish that takes 5 minutes to make and goes with almost anything--asian, mediterranean or american. Barefoot Contessa has a similar recipe but adds butter and extra salt. You don't need that, but can add if you like. Fresh spinach is much better than frozen in this dish.	4 votes 1 review 11265 views
	Swedish Oatmeal Pancakes by John Spottiswood I 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. I think the combination is wonderful. It still has the chewy, crepe-like texture of the traditional swedish pancake, with just a bit of nutty whole grain texture. Our kids say…	3 votes 2 reviews 6946 views
	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…	2 votes 1 review 5926 views
	beetroot raita (Step by Step with photo) by swati paathak Beetroot raita is a healthy and bright colored, beautiful looking raita. This pink colored raita is the best ever with Parathas or as a side dish along with your main course meal.	2 votes 3018 views
	Glazed Carrots by Nancy Miyasaki I made these carrots to be a sweet, vegetable side to go with the Caribbean Pork we made tonight. I wanted something that would be sweet like plantains, and these did the job perfectly. I adapted this from a Cook's Illustrated recipe, and I think the technique is a good one. They'd be nice as a a side with any grilled meat.	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 7644 views
	Caponata by Farrell May Podgorsek Caponata is traditionally served as an antipasto with toasted baguette slices or crackers. It is savory, with a touch of sweetness from the raisins and salt from the olives and capers. You can also use it as a pasta or pizza topping. This is one of the most popular appetizers I serve. The recipe doubles well and it freezes…	1 vote 3065 views

	NOT Momofuku Ginger Scallion Noodles by Lisa Michele This is not Momofuku's famous Ginger Scallion Noodles, but my take on them using some extra flavors I was craving at the time. Easy and delicious!	1 vote 1750 views
