Pureed black beans and tomatoes are combined with vegetable broth to make a nice thick base for this soup, which hosts celery, carrots, onion and corn.
Even kids who don't care for vegetable soup may enjoy this one. Very good flavor. Sometimes I use crushed tomatoes with garlic, onion, or basil now that they're available. Turkey smoked sausage is great in this recipe!
Thinly sliced garlic is a simple way to jazz up plain old spinach. With just a touch of butter and a quick stir, you'll have a vegetable side dish that tastes great and pairs with just about anything!
Frozen Brussels sprouts get an upgrade in flavor when roasted with apple and sweet onion chunks and drizzled with lemon. You don't even have to thaw the sprouts -- just pour them frozen from the bag onto the baking sheet, season, and roast.
A quick fix for an inexpensive cut of meat. Mix up soy sauce, vegetable oil, ketchup, oregano and one whole clove of garlic, then marinate the meat overnight.
