Bell-pepper/8 recipes

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 :)

Pretty darn easy and tasty. I had all ingredients on hand and didn't have to worry about a trip to the store. I didn't use any cayenne because we have small children, but it still came out great. The sauce was tasty over rice!

This delicious savory onion tart is tasty, creamy, and absolutely delicious, a great way to impress your family or your guest.

Without pancetta or prosciutto, these small treats are still very yummy, with some balsamic glaze drizzling on top. Everyone wants some extra ones.

This refreshing and tasty salad is made with garden-fresh cucumber and juicy-sweet tomatoes, and tossed with a soy-sesame dressing.

Even the sweet potato/yam "dis-liker" (me) liked the flavor of these. Nice little bite from the cayenne. And the amount of sugar was just right. I don't care for really "sweet" yam dishes at all! Thanks for this addition to our holiday dinner. (Part of my "Thanksgiving 2010" Menu)

A Mexican twist for your slow cooker. Packed with flavor, lean pork in a tangy tomatillo sauce.

Instead of pizza sauce, used basil pesto, and the combination of the toppings worked deliciously well together. Cheddar and parmesan really added tons of yummy cheesiness, which was absolutely delicious with the toppings.

These roasted almonds are tasty and crunchy, all the seasonings and brown sugar add the amazing flavor to the almonds. Good snack or when you have guests to come, it will satisfy everyone.

Great way to turn a bit of leftover turkey into a hearty, filling and inexpensive meal. Improved by adding a dash of soy sauce, sesame oil and splash of rice vinegar when serving.
