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.

The perfect snack that can be used as a substitute for breakfast. Just in time for the upcoming Autumn season!

This decadent brownie recipe was recently clipped from my local newspaper.

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 :)

This Mexican style enchilada casserole is loaded with flavor. Sauteed vegetables, spices and cheese make this casserole absolutely cheesy and delicious.

Making your own pizza dough may take you some time, but it's well worth the efforts. When you make the pizza with freshly-made whole wheat pizza dough, it's going to double the deliciousness plus it is actually packed with good-for-you goodness!

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.

Enchilada casserole with a twist!

Excellent bread. Nice, light texture and good crust. I will add more caraway next time, though, as we really like that flavor. I doubled the recipe to make a large loaf, and it worked fine. I usually just use my machine for the kneading process and than finish the loaf by hand, but let the machine do the whole thing this time, since I was busy all day. Made the house smell great, and was perfect with a steaming bowl of split pea soup! Thanks for this keeper.

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

The whole family loved this recipe! The second time I made it I substituted some of the ketchup with chili sauce with no noticeable difference.

"Prime rib is one of the most delectable dinners there is. We order it in our favorite upscale restaurant on special occasions, but few consider they have the skill to make it at home. Yes, you do and here's how. It will compare to the finest you've ever eaten and you'll be be amazed at how easy it is to do. It's not a budget dinner, so go to a reputable butcher and buy the best quality 'Prime' Rib roast available.

Quick, easy and delicious. Next time skip the take-out Chinese food, use this recipe to make your own mouth-watering dish.

We loved it and used it in the Turkey Lasagna recipe.

Delicious roasted pumpkin seeds are also packed with goodness. Next time when you have some raw pumpkin seeds, don't throw them away. Make this yummy snack that is good for you!

A friend gave me this recipe, it's a layer cake, cake + blueberry + sour cream. This dessert is a huge hit every time I make it.
