Oregano/20 recipes

Bell peppers and sausages are cooked in a tasty tomato sauce, then served over a bed of warm penne. An ideal meal for a busy week night.

Dad's Fried Meatballs

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

Snow peas, carrots and water chestnuts give this stir-fry the very crunchy texture, and the Asian sauce adds the sweetness, sourness and spiciness. A quick, easy and tasty stir-fry is great for a weeknight.

I did mine in my slow cooker and used Boston butt instead of a roast. I let it go on low for 10 hours. Fabulous!

Absolutely delicious! I love pumpkin but hate making pie crust, so this is a great alternative. Very easy, too. The maple syrup is a nice subtle flavor. The honey glazed walnuts are really a nice touch. Going to be using them in other things, too. I presented this two ways, one still in the ramekin, and one unmolded. Thanks for a great new addition to the fall dessert line-up.

Why buy prepacked taco seasoning when it is easy to make from scratch. If you purchase the spices at a bulk store it is also very very inexpensive to make. As a bonus you can control the salt. Commercial mixes have way too much salt for my tastes.

Hearty winter meal that warms you to your toes! Any leftovers can be used next day for lunch or a side dish for dinner.

Roasted broccoli is tender-crisp, roasted cherry tomatoes are warm and juicy, tossed with fresh lemon juice, zest, olives, roasted pepper and feta cheese. A quick, easy and tasty side dish!

Quick and easy rendition of a classic. Serve these garlicky marinated shrimp over or tossed with your favorite pasta.

Provolone Oregano Focaccia recipe

A bowl of warm chili is made of quinoa, black beans, spices and lots of tomatoes. Serve it over a bed of rice or with some good crusty bread.

This is one of our favorites. I add more lemon (yes, with the rind!). It's sooo good! Not bitter. I looked online to find it because I misplaced my "Award winning recipes" cookbook in the move. I use vinegar instead of wine (about half the amount) because we don't stock wine.

I use crushed Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs and add 2/3 cup of shredded sharp Cheddar. A simple gravy to go along with the meatloaf can also be made using another packet of soup mix, 2 Tbs. flour and 2 cups of cold water. Simmer until thickened.

Easy and tasty meatballs, these are great for meatball subs.
