Roasted beet pieces nestled among their sauteed greens makes a beautiful, delicious side dish. If yellow beets are available, double the recipe using a bunch of red and a bunch of yellow, they're gorgeous! I think these go especially well with pork or chicken. This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or expanded to whatever amount you need without adding very much to the preparation time.
Make tart little nests for sauteed meats or vegetables by tossing hot pasta with a tangy cream sauce flavored with lots of lemon juice and citrus zest. Nestle the fillings into mounds of pasta for a charming presentation.
These meat-mixture filled rolls make a great main dish, and are also great as a snack. They reheat well, so leftovers are also great! Sauerkraut can be used in place of the cabbage for more of a 'kraut flavor'.
This is an easy to make departure from your traditional chili. This recipe calls for pepperoni, mushrooms and a jar of prepared spaghetti sauce. Every time I make this for others, I am always asked for the recipe.
Ok...so my mother would just kill me if she knew I made our family recipe for Choereg public. But my policy is 'why keep a good thing to myself'. Choereg is a traditional, slightly sweet bread, especially made for Easter. It is delicious for breakfast with a nice cup of coffee. It takes some level of skill, but anyone used to handling yeast should not have a problem. You can find Mahleb at Middle Eastern grocery stores, especially around Easter. It will be with the spices. Please do not omit it, as this is what gives it its distinctive flavour and aroma.
Mahi mahi fillets are coated with sesame seeds before being pan-fried in this recipe, which also makes a simple pineapple salsa for serving with the cooked fish.
Lots of interesting stuff in this marinated zucchini salad. Onion soup mix, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, chopped veggies, sliced zucchini, and time in the fridge to mingle and chill. Six generous servings.
A cinnamon-pecan sourdough coffee cake with brown sugar and raisins is finished with a brown sugar glaze, resulting in a scrumptious breakfast delight.
A lovely spicy, EASY, fresh, tomatoey pasta dish with lots of kick! Pasta, chicken, bacon, and shrimp combined with chili come together as my all time favourite pasta dish! I have estimated the ingredients, as I usually just throw it all together.
Marinated shrimp, grilled on skewers, have the fiery flavors of chipotle chilies, garlic, and red pepper flakes. This is for those who like their grilled shrimp spicy enough to break a sweat.
A sentimental favorite. My mother and I made it when I was 7 and it's been a part of our holiday tradition ever since. A fun recipe to make with the kids. A slow cooker will keep it warm while serving.
Lightly-cooked and tender sea scallops, served in the simplest, quickest sauce of lemon juice, butter, parsley, and fresh basil, are served over angel hair pasta for an elegant but easy dish. Add cream or Parmesan cheese if you like.
