Broccoli, sweet red peppers and garlic take center stage in this staple from Shannon Wade. She uses the microwave in her Kansas City, Kansas kitchen to streamline preparation. Try the quesadillas as appetizers or as light supper.
Pull what you need from the freezer or pantry from this one. Frozen pie crust, a can of cream of potato soup, and a mega can of mixed veggies. An egg, some milk and a dash of thyme, and you have the fixings for a wonderful pie that your family will think
I love creating new variations on tuna sandwiches. This one is made with basil pesto, and served on rye bread with slices of tomato and leaves of lettuce. I made this for my husband's lunch the other day, and he wanted them again for dinner that night!
Peppers, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, and chicken stock are simmered with quinoa in this delicious, traditional Peruvian soup. There are a lot of ingredients, but it is worth the work!
THIS SALAD is not only delicious, it helped our family weather the Depression. I still remember lining up with Papa to receive dried beans and a 10-pound sack of yellow cornmeal. We used the cornmeal to make polenta. Mother made this salad with vegetables from the garden, and it really tasted good with the polenta. -Rudy Mancini, Calistoga, California
