Vegetables/2 recipes

This is a quick, easy way to saute asparagus. The dish has a light flavor and makes a great accompaniment to Italian meals. I make this year-round, but we especially enjoy it at Thanksgiving

Chunks of beef steak are slowly cooked in a crock pot with carrots, potatoes, onions and tomatoes. In the end, top the succulent casserole with some buttery and flakey pastry to form a pie, after baking, it's golden brown and delicious.

We love this simple and tasty recipe, toasted fennel adds more flavor to the squash, and they are fresh and tasty.

I make this recipe and double it and make bigger cookies, also I substitute Chocolate chips for nuts and raisins because I am allergic to nuts and my kids hated raisins.

This turned out quite nicely, was surprised at how well it held together considering there was no egg to help bind the ingredients together. We made a vegetarian shallot gravy to go along with it. Nice herby flavor throughout.

Irish Colcannon recipe; also known as Colcannon potatoes is a traditional Irish dish of mashed potatoes with kale or cabbage cooked with bacon. Perfect for St. Patrick's day.

This delicious chocolate bundt cake contains ground flax seeds, chopped walnuts, buttermilk and bittersweet chocolate, not only tasty but also full of goodness.

These black bean croquettes are so good. Serve them with salsa, or put them into whole wheat pita with yogurt and cucumber sauce as a quick lunch or dinner.

These were delicious after a little bit of tweaking. I don't think I've ever made meatballs without some garlic, so I felt the need to add one large clove of minced along with a teaspoon of soy sauce, replacing the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, in the meat mixture...

Light, refreshing and very tasty dish.

These crunchy vegetables make a refreshing and delicious salad. If you have your own vegetable garden, they are the easiest vegetables to grow. Or find them in the grocery store.

No special occasion needed for this decadent dessert...it's so easy.

This easy yet tasty Korean salad is so refreshing. It goes deliciously well with any of the main courses, Korean or not. Cucumber and radishes add some nice crunch to the salad that's slightly sweet, sour and spicy.

These Mexican stuffed mushrooms were delicious. The recipe was very easy to follow, and these stuffed mushrooms were packed with yumminess. Absolutely enjoyed it, will be making these tasty bites again for sure!

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 :)

A delicious and succulent dish that will have you and your friends licking your lips and fingers!
