Fried green tomatoes/5 recipes

This recipe is based on the one from Jean Christoph Novelli's grandmother Louise's recipe. He call's it "The Most Amazing Tomato Sauce on the planet" I agree. This is not the exact recipe (I tweaked it very slightly and made some educated guesses on the amounts of various ingredients but based upon the taste I believe it is probably very close.

Quick, easy and delicious salad, and everyone loves it.

Mini-mushroom and cheese stuffed tartlettes, perfect for finger food as a snack for guests or just to treat yourself. Using prepared wonton wraps makes it quick and easy to create a fancy look that tastes great.

This isn't your ordinary Mom's or Campbell's over-salted Chicken Noodle Soup. Udon noodles, lemongrass, and mushrooms take the soup to the next level.

Extremely quick and easy to throw together. Turns out much like a cheesy crustless quiche. Uses bisquick baking mix (or you can make your own easily enough).

Sprouted some bean sprouts last week, meanwhile I had some colorful bell peppers needed to be used up, then this was the quick-easy stir-fry I put together.

As I do not own a bread machine, I adapted this recipe to make in my KitchenAid stand mixer using the dough hook. I kept the igredients basically the same, with the exception of adding 1 1/2 Tbs. honey. I baked it in a 9" x 5" loaf pan.

My Chinese-American version of crispy fried chicken nuggets tossed in a savory citrus sauce with a touch of heat. Great served over hot rice.

My family of 3 boys and my husband refuse to eat anything "healthy"...well I made this tvp chili, but did not tell them what was in it. Well between the 4 of them they finished the pot. So excellent!! Easily used to "fool" non vegetarians!

The flavor was amazing, the aroma during the cooking filled up our entire house. We used chicken broth instead of beef broth and water, and it made a very tasty base for the soup. A few slices of good bread was all we served with this soup. YUM!

Boneless beef short ribs, slow braised in a small crockpot (or pot if desired) perfectly sized for two servings.

Beet greens are sauteed with ginger, garlic, scallions and tossed with soy sauce, chili bean sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. A tasty and light stir-fry that can be served as a side dish or with some rice, or a few slices of bread to become a light meal.

A simple, but scrumptious broccoli salad that is the perfect substitute for when you're tired of the same old leaf lettuce side dish.

This Mexican style casserole is full of beans and vegetables, with the two layers of the tortilla pieces, vegetable mixture and cheddar cheese, loaded the tons of tasty flavor.

A simple and hearty soup that's perfect for a rainy day or a cold winter night.
