Baked Acorn Squash With Pine Nuts and Garlic


Found this online from the Mayo Clinic. DH and I thought this was a great way to prepare acorn squash. We really enjoyed it. We had a large (2-lb) acorn squash, so we just used one. The recipe says it serves 4, but DH and I ate it all, so I am saying it serves 2-4.

Grandma's Famous Green Beans Au Gratin


My grandmother's recipe for fresh green beans au gratin, which she served on every holiday, was topped with either buttered breadcrumbs or French fried onions -- or both. I experimented slicing the green beans julienne-style, but I noticed the sauce came out slightly runny (see photo). After a second trial, I prefer regular-cut green beans, using both toppings (buttered breadcrumbs first, then French fried onions as a final garnish.

Bhuna Khichuri (Bangladesh)


This recipe is from week 21 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Bangladesh is my 21st stop. Khichuri can be made with meat or vegetables; this version is served as a side dish and contains cauliflower and potatoes.

After Party Fruit Salad and Mac & Cheese


The guests have left. The candles have melted. The least favorite of the cheese and crackers remains on the table. You have pretty clear intentions for the leftover wine, but what do you do with all the leftover cheese and cut fruit? Clear out your post-party refrigerator with these two great recipes for the day after!

Nut Butter


Find the combination of nuts you like and spread the nut butter on your daily bread -- the easiest way to increase your daily nuts intake. Note: amount of oil may need adjustment due to oil content of different nuts and the power of your machine.

Spanish Rice - Central California Style


Lets face it, Mexican food is sooooooooooo different in different states, sometimes, even within the same state. I add Chicken Base (from Costco) to my water, instead of Chicken broth. and we just love this with Sunny Select Southwest Roasted Tomato Salsa with Cilantro (medium), however, I think you would love this with your favorite chunky salsa!

Vanilla-Orange Glazed Carrots


This recipe is from our local supermarket, Wegmans' Menu Magazine, Winter 2012 Edition. It sounds heavenly. Someday when I have time, I'd love to try it. It is listed as one of their kid-approved recipes, but I think it would also appeal to those of us who are just big kids at heart .

Fabulous Middle Eastern Tabbouleh


A lovely side dish or snack... If you are looking for a way to make it even nicer, then adding a little feta cheese works well. However, I've kept this out due to the calorie content and fats.
