Wild and Brown Rice
A perfect side dish for game birds. May be prepared ahead of time and microwaved just prior to serving.
Crisp Marinated Cucumbers
My grandma gave me this recipe and I absolutely love it. It's great eating it in the warmer months or any family get-together.
Fennel Coleslaw
Refreshing and easy. The subtle fennel flavor classes up an otherwise average summer picnic dish. It's cole slaw for those who don't usually like it! Save some fennel leaves for garnishing. Especially delicious with grilled tuna steaks.
Berry Fruit Salad
Mixture of different delicious berries.
LaWanna's Mango Salsa on Tilapia Fillets
A delicious fruity salsa topping to serve over fish or chicken, from a friend in Florida. I always use whatever that I have left in a mixed greens salad the next day. Use any kind of fish -- I use tilapia or salmon. The fish may also be grilled, which is what I prefer. If I can't find a good fresh pineapple, I will use canned pineapple tidbits.
Aloo Gobi Masala (Cauliflower and Potato Curry)
Traditional Indian cauliflower and potato curry recipe from my mom. We used to eat this all the time growing up. My sister likes it with peas too.
Tequila-Lime Pork Tenderloin
A wonderful overnight marinade gives your pork tenderloin a wonderful lime-grilled flavor. You can also grill one tenderloin and freeze the other for future use.
Szechwan Shrimp
Don't let some of the ingredients fool you--this spicy shrimp makes a simple, impressive dish, which I usually make for company. For more or less heat, adjust amount of red pepper. Serve over hot steamed rice.
Chicken, Rice and Vegetable Soup
A delicious blend of chicken, rice, and vegetables. Perfect as a meal, or to take the edge off hunger between meals. Excellent winter warmer.
Vegan Black Bean Burgers
Easy black bean burgers for everyone! You don't need to follow the recipe or amounts exactly. I never do. Serve with your favorite burger fixings and sweet potato fries.
Garlic Green Beans
Caramelized garlic and cheese! Is there anything better with green beans? You'd better make plenty for everyone!
Spicy Fish Soup
A delicious fish soup that's low in fat! Having grown up on the Texas/Mexico border, I like foods spicy, but you can adjust the seasonings to taste. I also splash in a drop of hot pepper sauce in each bowl.
