Recipe Sifter

A few simple ingredients make this barley casserole delicious and flavorful. An ideal weekday dinner on a cold winter evening.

I looovvve this recipe! I have been making it for years, with rave reviews from my family, but I lost it. I was able to find it again on this site! Thank you so much.

An easy, tasty and hearty dish is an ideal dinner for busy weekdays. Creamy but without any dairy product, it's from the roasted walnuts that also add yummy nuttiness.

I squeezed a bit lemon juice and grated some fresh lemon zest to give it a zing, which actually worked beautifully. Certainly well satisfied our palate and tummy at the same time. A yummy and healthy way to enjoy a stir-fry pasta.

This healthy and tasty salad is made with assorted grains, fresh apple, celery, bell peppers and dried cranberries, tossed with a light and flavorful vinaigrette.

With a bit of dry sherry, this pasta dish is perfect for a date or a night with your significant other.

Too lazy to cook, but still want something tasty, this Mediterranean pasta salad will fit your need. Pasta is tossed with olive oil, roasted bell peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives.

Light fluffy and cheesy. A great party in "la bouche" (the mouth). Can be made ahead and popped in the oven when you're ready to bake them up fresh. The probability is that each person will have no problem consuming 4 per serving!

This salad is absolutely delicious, I used cilantro instead of parsley, marinated for about 4 hours, the salad was so refreshing and tasty, definitely will make it again.

Toasting quinoa in pan creates much more flavor than just boiling it directly. Quinoa is tossed with a light yet tasty vinaigrette, sugar snap peas, apples, bell peppers, celery, red onions and toasted walnuts. You can make the salad one day ahead, it tastes even better next day.

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)

Rich in flavor - low in cost. Money saving chicken thighs replace the expensive traditional veal in this rendition of an Italian classic.

Simply delicious. If you use canned beans, it only takes you about 10 minutes, a tasty and flavorful salad is ready. Have it as a side dish or a nutritious main dish.

Nothing goes better with a steak than a delicious pasta salad like this tasty recipe.

Nothing is quicker and easier than a delicious grilled cheese. Adding caramelized mushrooms into the cheese gives this grilled cheese extra yumminess.
