This is my favorite recipe for tacos with a mixture of New Mexican Cuisine as well as other ethnic recipes.

Near perfect pork ribs with a beautiful sweet, tangy and sticky exterior and fall off the bone meat.

Ground beef kebabs seasoned with allspice, cayenne, and tomato paste, shaped onto skewers and grilled. A kofta-style kebab with Middle Eastern spice that's ready in 30 minutes.

Fresh or in a pinch canned tomatoes add depth to the rice in this fluffy pilaf. A great side dish and I usually finish cooking the rice using my rice cooker while I'm busy watching the Food Network!

We make this pasta salad all the time. It's loaded with the delicious flavors. Sometimes we add some steamed broccoli florets or asparagus, or a few freshly sliced mushrooms.

This delicious and easy chicken-broccoli pie is a great way to incorporate some veggies into the meal. Kids won't say a word about the additional broccoli, because it tastes so yummy.

Chicken ultraburgers use cooked chicken pulsed with brown rice, Dijon mustard, and parsley for a lighter, healthier burger. A clever way to repurpose leftover chicken.

Beef short ribs baked with garlic, onions and carrots in a barbecue sauce. Tender, tasty and succulent.

This garlic dijon mustard vinaigrette is very flavorful, it goes well with any kinds of mixed greens. If you prefer less garlic taste, you can always reduce garlic to taste.

While growing up, my Polish-Russian grandmother, who lived with our family, made these little meat patties quite often and they were a family favorite. Here is my rendition, from what I remember when cooking with Grandma, as she never wrote the recipe down. The patties were always served with mashed potatoes, green beans, applesauce, and, of course, plenty of ketchup for the patties.

Crockpot chicken with mushrooms and onions in a creamy soup-and-broth sauce, slow-cooked until fall-apart tender, then finished with crisp crumbled bacon on top. Dump it in and walk away.

This is a variation of a classic French dish that uses several reductions to build a ton of flavor that matches perfectly with the crispy seasoned tofu. Oyster mushrooms or other mushrooms work well too.

BBQ lamb ribs grilled until the skin crisps, then brushed with a honey, soy and red wine glaze over a cooling fire so it caramelizes instead of burning. Juicy, tangy ribs straight off the grill.

This belly filling one dish meal is perfect for Octoberfest or a cool fall or winter day. It is sure to warm the belly.

Creamy homemade hummus blended from chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, and a touch of cumin. A quick, healthy, high-fiber dip ready in minutes, finished with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
