Green bean casserole/2 recipes

Easter is almost here. It is another good time you can spend with your kids making some lovely and cute Easter cupcakes, these flower cupcakes are very simple and easy, and they look beautiful.

Simple dish made with fresh corn, tomatoes and brown rice, and well seasoned with dried herbs, fresh cilantro and salsa!

Sautèing asparagus with bacon (pancetta) and leeks is an excellent way to cook asparagus and keep it perfectly tender-crisp and finished with pine nuts and aromatic garlic. Lemon and orange zest make this side a sophisticated, delicious variety of textures and flavors.

Certainly a quick, easy yet tasty week-night meal. I used sugar snap peas instead of snow peas, the sauce was thickened during the simmering, then coated vegetables and pasta. Delicious.

Literally 5 minutes of cooking time. Start to finish this baby bok choy about 10 minutes and is packed with flavor.

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.

Beef in a sweet red bell pepper sauce spiked with jalapeno, garlic, ginger and subtle spices. Colorful and easy preparation.

What an easy and tasty dish! Don't forget to let the breasts rest for about 10 minutes after you take them out of the oven, which ensures that all the delicious juices are secured inside the breasts. The roasted veggies were also very flavourful. Definitely a wholesome meal.

This is a wonderful recipe for either a dinner party or Sunday lunch. Whether or not you use redcurrants in the actual sauce or purely as a decoration depends very much on the time of year and variety of redcurrants you can find. End of summer home-grown redcurrants add a wonderful sweet tartness to the sauce, however imported under-ripe fruits can impart a certain bitterness and are probably best left for garnish. If you do not use fresh berries add a little extra redcurrant jelly.

This was a family favorite when I was growing up and became a must-have with my young sons. Zesty thick chili served over Fritos - This recipe will become a family favorite!!!

I make triangles and leave out the mizithra or cottage cheese (too wet for these). Great appetizers if you make them small.

This filling yet delicious bean salad is very easy to make. Put the salad in the frige for a couple of hours or overnight, the flavor will be even better. Of course you can always have some right after you make it to satisfy your caving before it grows too big :)
