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.

A very different twist on tradional pasta/macaroni salad. Loaded with ingredients, this could be a meal in itself.

Juicy chicken breast stuffed with cheese, shallots and cheese. The phyllo really helps hold in the moisture to keep the chicken breast moist. This is a reduced fat version of a popular recipe and it's equally as tasty in my opinion. If you wish to reduce the fat even further omit the cheese altogether.

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 :)

Soft fresh German egg noodles. Spätzle, literally translasted means "little sparrows". This style of of noodle is also called Spätzli or Chnöpfli in Switzerland or Knöpfle or Hungarian Nokedli, Csipetke or Galuska. These type of noodles are commonly found side-dish from the cuisines of southern Germany and Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Alsace, Moselle and South Tyrol.

The combination of orange and spices paired with dark chocolate makes these pretty cookies from Mary LaRock of Waukesha unique and delicious. Their interesting shape enhances any cookie platter.

Any tender green can be used in this recipe. Wilted and sautéed greens are brightened with Indian spices with a touch of creaminess.

Instead of frozen veggies we used fresh broccoli and cauliflower and steamed them part way. We also used swiss cheese instead of cheddar and the results were surprisingly good.

I omitted the parsley and scallions (had none) and used chopped onion instead. I also added some red pepper flakes for some heat. I treated this as a marinade for my boneless, skinless breasts, which cut cut into strips and marinated overnight. I skewered the strips and grilled for 5-6 min. per side. Excellent flavor.

Earthy swiss chard and heirloom tomatoes combined with basil and mozzarella make an awesome one skillet main course.

An easy and great tasting way to use up any leftover stuffing from that Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey.

A savory bread that's made with cherry tomatoes, feta, Swiss cheese, and lots of fresh herbs will definitely be a winner part at your dinner table. It's cheesy, herbal and moist, and you will find some juicy-sweet explosions in every bite because of these roasted cherry tomatoes.

Miso and sesame paste made a delicious base for the stew. Soba noodles and tofu absorbed all the yumminess. Carrots, corn and peas added beautiful color to the stew. Tatsoi could be easily replaced by spinach, kale or Swiss chard. A wholesome and filling Asian style stew.
