These spinach-stuffed rolls are a great way to get my son to eat his vegetables! I experimented with the recipe after testing similar bundles years ago. --Susan James, Manhattan, Kansas
My husband is a real meat-and-potatoes guy and could eat the same thing every day, but not me! So I've come up with different ways, including this recipe, to use those main ingredients.
Just like potato pancakes only shredded carrots star in this one. Eggs, flour, breadcrumbs and garlic surround and bind the carrot together. They cook up crusty and golden and are so good with homemade applesauce.
This is an unusual no-bean chili made with ground beef, cinnamon, cloves and unsweetened chocolate in a beef and tomato base. Serve over spaghetti noodles with shredded cheddar cheese.
A simple cumin dressing is tossed with a salad bowl full of kernel corn and black beans. It's sensational as is but we think it would be super rolled in a warm tortilla with a dollop of sour cream.
'This is a fast but special treatment for chicken,' shares Patsy Jenkins of Tallahassee, Florida. Chicken breasts are browned to juicy perfection, then topped with a buttery sauce of fresh mushrooms and green onions.
Simple and tasty pan fried salmon cakes! Just salmon, eggs, onion and black pepper. Mix it all up, shape into patties and you are ready to go! Great with macaroni and cheese.
You can also fry up red tomatoes with this recipe but make sure they are not over ripe or they will be mushy. Serve these tomatoes outside with a glass of iced tea one summer night and enjoy the sunset with someone you love.
'Our family lives and works on a ranch,' remarks Ronna Lewis from Plains, Kansas. 'I like to fix this nicely seasoned casserole ahead of time and freeze it for later use. It's good with a tossed salad or nacho chips and dip.'
Risotto is a good and simple staple to have in your recipe repertoire. Here's a cost-saving tip: You can substitute sushi rice for pricier Arborio with the same excellent results.
