This comes from Country Living and is a nice change from your regular pizzas that have a ton of sauce and it is super easy to make. The eggplant makes the flatbread nice and moist and the feta cheese adds...
A variant on traditional bulgur tabbouleh. Great to serve at potlucks because it can be served cold or warm! Even better left over! The longer it sits, the more the flavors meld together.
We love grits, this is another good way to serve them. A great alternative to a baked potato when served with grilled steak or chicken. I belive this recipe could be made with instant grits.The 2 1/2 hours...

I got the idea for this from the Whole Foods recipe website, and, of course, added some extra spices to make it a bit more interesting. This was a great recipe to clean out the leftover quinoa, dried cranberries...

I love this recipe because it it easy & you don't need to stuff it in the bird. I have a few folks in my family who think stuffing the bird is gross. This makes them happy. It is a very modified version...

My mom used to make a similar recipe using leftover rice when I was a kid. Now, I make it with quinoa, since I prefer that grain to rice. This is becoming a staple in my bento lunch box these days. Note:...
Very simple appetizer with a gormet feel. The tart apples and the goat cheese go together very well. Your guests will come back for seconds! I got this recipe from my "France Monthly" newsletter.
Great tasting stuffing with very low sodium, suitable for heart patients, but anyone can enjoy this. Good texture, too. From Donald Gazzaniga's "The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook." This is only a challenge...
I made this tonight and we thought it was great. Even my 20-month old daughter LOVED it and that's saying something. I know a lot of people want more whole foods in their diet but have no clue what to...
I love pesto, and quinoa is so good for you. So why not mix them and all the amazingness! Bacon is not necessary; chicken would work, or you could go with no meat at all. Serve hot or cold.
This is the meatloaf that I grew up on, and is pretty much the only meatloaf my friends and I will eat. Our family believes that less is more when making meatloaf so there is nothing strange in it that...
Caramelizing the onions is what brings out extra flavor to this dish --- adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit heat level, make certain that the chicken broth is *hot* before adding to the recipe...

This soup is so flavorful the first bite made my husband moan. It is chocked full of veggies with every bite. My kids eat every last drop, and often ask for more. Each taste is full of flavor, no one would...
Everyone who has tried this loves it. I came up with this recipe as an alternative to pasta salad. I buy all the ingredients at Trader Joes. Sometimes I get a real craving for this salad. Its tastey, crunchy...
A recipe that I just tossed together and it came out so well that I thought I'd post it! I'm sure you could omit the cheese and peppers and add honey or sugar to make a sweet version of this. You could...
Bulgur comes in different sizes and textures, but for the basic kind they sell in the bulk aisle where I shop, this cooking technique works perfectly. This can be dressed up in all kinds of different ways...
The herbed sauce in this grain dish gets a double hit of punchy dairy: Not as sharp as other acidic ingredients, buttermilk lends a unique tang and yogurt brings body and richness.
This is a recipe I created using wheat berries which is a healthy alternative to rice. It's also easy to substitute different nuts or fruit depending on what you have on hand.
Gift a delicious treat to friends and family by layering the ingredients for this Oatmeal Cookie Mix in a jar and finishing it with a ribbon. They just have to add butter, eggs and vanilla to the dry Oatmeal...
This hearty, warm side dish can be made with the cheese incorporated into the polenta or the polenta can be spooned atop a portion of the cheeses, so that as they melt they form a liquid center. This is...
I am not overly fond of grits but I saw Paula Deen making these canapes and they sounded wonderful. After grit toast is baked, they can be covered and refrigerated to use later. Chopped shrimp and be added...
