Another pretty dish. Tomatoes, green pepper and zucchini are sauteed until tender and their flavors have mingled. Rice and water are stirred in and everything is cooked until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
This is a traditional minestrone complete with leeks and zucchini in a tomato soup base with cannellini beans and pasta. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
Tender, thin flat iron steaks are quickly seared and served on crusty broiled rolls with spinach leaves, mozzarella cheese, tomato, and avocado slices.
A great side dish for fennel lovers, originally from a friend in Israel. I have used water instead of broth, with some added salt and seasoning. I have also replaced the mustard seed with regular mustard.
Large pearls of Israeli couscous combine with garbanzo beans, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Greek olives to make a side dish or light main dish that's perfect for a hot summer's day.
Corn tortillas provide this soup with both its flavor and texture. It's a fast-growing favorite in the Southeast. I especially like this recipe because it can be made quickly and easily and it can serve as an appetizer or a main dish.
These spicy Italian cookies are the perfect accompaniment for cocoa or coffee during the holiday season! Serve with lemon curd or drizzle with lemon flavored almond bark for a special treat.
I love gardening and have a big pumpkin patch. A few years ago when our harvest was very plentiful, I experimented and came up with this recipe. My family just loves this soup.
The flavors of autumn star in these delightful pumpkin pancakes that are topped with a sweet apple cider syrup. Light and fluffy, the pancakes are perfect for breakfast or brunch or as a snack anytime! --Brenda Parker Portage, Michigan
