I needed a nourishing and complete meal-in-one that I could take with me on the go. I prepare this the day before I travel and put it in the fridge overnight. It has a great flavor that, when left to sit...
I love polenta. Like it fried with maple syrup for breakfast. Like it with lemon pepper & a bit of butter, oh I could go on and on. But making it on the stove top was always plop plop burn burn, this way...
This is a recipe I came up with after looking at a few other recipes and not finding the perfect combination for what I wanted. This uses a rice cooker so please make it easy on yourself and buy one if...
I got this recipe from Yahoo! Health. It was posted there by miavita. This was very tasty and a nice departure from rice or pasta and a great way to eat whole grains. My husband will not eat beans, so...
A very easy salad and a nice twist on the usual cranberries-pecans salad with contrasting flavors and textures. Nice in the fall/winter with a bowl of pumpkin soup!
I am always on the lookout for unique couscous recipes. It's so easy to make but DH thinks it's bland. I saw Giada make cakes one day with the couscous so that inspired me to create my own. This was a...
I grew up with Turkey and Dressing, stuffing was just foreign to me, until I became an adult, and while I can appreciate stuffing, nothing comes close to the dressing the women in my family made every...
Plain cooked wild rice from Kuhn Rikon's instruction manual (15 psi cooker), when you have taken the time to pre-soak the wild rice. Kuhn Rikon strongly recommends cooking at LOW pressure (8 psi) as if...

Yum! Red bell peppers stuffed with polenta, chiles, and cheese! Add in a little cream and you have a dish you will love! Adapted from Southern Living Magazine, July 2004
Simple, easy to make - and delicious. My family calls this one "slop" too - because it's not a casserole that holds its shape when served. It comes out in a sloppy scoop, onto the plate. But, even though...
Quinoa, pronounced "keenwa," quadruples in size when cooked yet stays crunchy and nutty. This recipe (which I've not tried) adds a variety of colors of bell pepper to the quinoa for the effect of confetti....
I bought Hubert Keller's Burger Bar cookbook and decided to skip right by the fattening yet delicious beef burger recipes and try a garden variety. I made a few slight adjustments to accommodate my own...
I love wheat berries in salads and have been posting some recipes. I believe this one came from "Country Home Magazine" but I'm not sure as the name is no longer connected to it. This one I have not made,...
got a similar recipe in my email, it reads : "Quick-cooking barley replaces rice in this classic Caribbean combo. Barley is rich in soluble fiber and makes a good whole-grain choice because it is digested...
My friend from Ecuador made it for us and I tried to replicate it with much success. It's now one of my favorite soup to make. If you like a creamier soup, you can make it with 3 cups soy milk and 1 cup...
Not your usual stuffing! The sweetness of the pumpkin bread is offset by the savory taste of the various herbs. Go on, dare to be different this Thanksgiving! From allrecipes.com submitted by Ibby.
Not your usual Tabbouleh, this salad merely has a similar consistency and shares some common ingredients with its authentic cousin. It has a lot of crunch thanks to the apple, radish and walnuts, and involves...
I learned this from my MIL who is a Portuguese Jew. I never got the exact recipe so have put together my own version of her recipe. I think mine is quite delicious!
This will seem like a lot of ingredients, but it's not as much work as you'd think. It is a great dish to prepare in hot weather - virtually no cooking involved! From The blessed Barefoot Contessa.
This is hands down my favorite basic way of preparing quinoa. The Incas called quinoa "the mother of all grains" and I think it is such a nutritious and under used grain. Since it contains a balanced set...

Soups are my very favorite thing to cook! Many great soup recipes have been collected over the 57 years I've been cooking.....and this is one of the best. It is easy and the catsup gives it a unique taste...
Everyone really enjoys this salad; it features wild rice, chicken, and cashews along with plump juicy red grapes. Besides wild rice, the real star of this salad is the dressing that uses curry powder to...
We call for semi-pearled grains because they cook more quickly and have a roughened-up texture that helps them soak up the dressing. Browning them first deepens their flavor.
This pork tenderloin dinner comes together fast, but is packed with the bright flavors of citrus and dill. Peas and lightly blistered tomatoes add sweetness while feta cheese adds tang to the farro and...
