Based on Dean Ornish's Eat More Weigh less. I give this as Christmas presents each year and get rave reviews.

With the sauce prepared in advance, this colorful dish makes a quick entree for two, good served over fluffy rice.

There is a bit of confusion about these two plants. For some reason,the fennel plant, which resembles celery with fern like tops, has been called sweet anise in produce markets. The true anise is cultivated only for its seeds. So what you see labelled "sweet anise" in your market is probably fennel, but no matter what you call it, this is a highly interesting vegetable. Every part of this aromatic plant has a taste and aroma similar to licorice. The stems are eaten like celery,uncook, or cooked and served as a vegetable (heavenly with apples in waldorf salad) available from September to May.

I ruined my blender making this. Use a food processor! Can be frozen for use in the winter.

Layered cheese torta with pesto cream cheese, provolone, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and toasted pine nuts. A stunning no-bake appetizer that chills overnight and keeps for weeks.

A useful dry rub to add flavor to all kinds of poultry.

This spicy marinade owes its unusual flavor to the chipotle, a smoked jalapeno chile. Chipotles are usually sold canned in tomato paste. Look for them at Mexican and Latin American markets. Adobo marinade goes particularly well with pork.

Chunks of beef slowly braised in an authentic Chinese manner. Nearly any tough cut of beef can be made magically tender and flavorful with this technique.

Rich and dense sauce that's perfect for shrimp, scallops or salmon.

Three delicious autumn quick breads are made with same bread base but different fillings. They are all super moist and tasty, and they don't last long in our house.

A very moist bread. Pumpkin adds the moisture and great flavor into the bread, chocolate chips and walnuts give the extra layers of flavors and textures. A delicious bread is great at any occasion.

Grissini al finocchio, Italian fennel seed breadsticks made with beer in the yeast dough. Baked crisp on wire racks for an all-around crunch. Makes 60 sticks.

Turned out very fluffy, hot out of the oven I ate about 5 of them right away. Lightly warm spiced with sweetness from the sweet potato. You won't find these in any store.

Australian sausage rolls with seasoned sausage meat, herbs and onion wrapped in flaky puff pastry. Classic party food and lunchbox favorite Down Under.

Chocolate chips make everything taste better :) Made some whole wheat pumpkin pancakes incorporated in some semi-sweet chocolate chips and pumpkin seeds for breakfast. Needless to say, they turned out delicious, and chunks of melting chocolate and nutty seeds could be found in every bite.

Try this scrumptious appetizer made with spinach, parmesan cheese and a herb stuffing mix.
