A quick and easy one today. This green bean recipes comes courtesy of my mom. My favorite way to eat green beans has always been stir-fried with garlic, then steamed for a few minutes with soy sauce and rice vinegar. But even that gets boring after awhile and this recipe is a a great savior [...]

Easy Red Cabbage Slaw
If you want to talk about a tasty and easy side dish, this is it. 6 ingredients and minimal prep time. You just need to let it hang out in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to a week. If you let it sit a day or more, the cabbage actually becomes [...]

Quick Pickled Radish and Onions
I’ve recently developed a love for pickling things. It’s so easy! You just make a brine and throw your veggie right in. Let it sit overnight and presto! Pickles! I’ve never bothered with canning or jarring things – it seems too complicated and you have to buy all this specialized equipment that I just don’t [...]

Simple Cucumber Salad
Sometimes it’s tough incorporating vegetables into dinner. You’ve spent all this time preparing and marinating a meat dish and the veggies are just an afterthought.

I love green beans. I usually make them the same way every time (sautéed with garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar and hot sauce), but I thought I would try something different this time. Roasting with balsamic vinegar and honey gives them a sweet and mellow flavor. The onions and walnuts are a great complement to the [...]

Black Bean and Corn Salsa
This black bean and corn salad is a great side dish to include with a Southwestern or Mexican meal. It’s hearty, healthy and quick to prepare. The leftovers are delicious and it keeps well in the fridge. It’s also gorgeous with all those colors. Next time I make it, I’ll be sure to use a [...]

Roasted Indian Spiced Cauliflower and Potatoes
I served these vegetables alongside the tandoori-style chicken. Roasted cauliflower is completely different from the raw stuff. The flavor is sweet and a little nutty and very pleasant. I roasted these for twice the time called for in the recipe, just to make sure that the cauliflower flavors developed nicely. Yukon Gold potatoes are great [...]
