Shishito peppers are popular in Japan. They have a grassy pepper flavor with sweet-hot citrus notes. It is generally a mild pepper variety, the heat level can vary. It's said that about 1 in 10 peppers has a hot kick. You can keep these simple or be creative. I've had these as an appetizer at quite a few restaurants and love them. You can't find them just anywhere...Read More Category Vegetables

I found this little gem of a recipe in Cooking Light magazine. It was part of a Cost Plus World Market advertisement. They give the recipe and let you know that you can find rice vinegar, soba noodles, wasabi paste and soy sauce at their store. Steamed vegetables retain more water-soluble nutrients than their boiled counterparts...Read More 
Looking for something to do with the leftover ham bone from Thanksgiving and Christmas? Freeze it and make a homemade split pea soup in your crock pot. Serve alongside a grilled cheese sandwich, green salad, toasted baguette, in a sourdough bowl, or crackers. My 1st attempt at split pea soup and I am in LOVE!Read More 
A fall favorite, butternut squash shines brightest when used as a base for a rich, warming soup. Serve this full-flavored soup as a first course or as a smooth vegetable stew over rice with a side of cooked greens. We've used luxurious full-fat coconut milk, which yields a decadent, silky soup. You can use light coconut milk, if you prefer, for a soup with less body (and only 1g saturated fat per serving).Read More 
Clinton Kelly made two great recipes on The Chew yesterday. His Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Red Peppers recipe was meant to be a light, healthy dish you can have during the week. You can scoop every bit of squash out leaving only the skin. This is 32 calories per serving. But when it comes to the weekend, Clinton Kelly made a sinfully great savory dish, his Cheesy Squash Fondue recipe...

My husband loves shoestring skinny crispy French fries. It has taken me quite some time to find a recipe that he thoroughly enjoys. This one is now his all-time favorite recipe. They come out perfect. You get to decide how crispy you would like them. The key is to double fry them to get them the desired crispiness you love.
INGREDIENTS:
4 (4 to 5-inches long) russet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
2 quar...
Risotto is an Italian rice dish cooked in broth to a creamy consistency. The broth may be meat, fish, or vegetable based. Many types of risotto contain butter, wine and onion. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. You will need one large saucepan, 2 large skillets, and 1 medium skillet to prepare this dish. Using 4 burners nearly at one time...
On one of my recent Costco visits I found a bag of Baby Mix Squash by Martinez & Sons Gourmet Produce. On the back of the bag was this recipe. I had to give it a try. Using my grandmother’s old cast iron skillet gives the squash perfect crispy spots. The mix of vegetables, cheese, basil, salt and pepper make this a simple yet delicious side dish.
Ingredients:
1 TBSP Olive Oil
4 cups baby mix squash, ab...
A former co-worker Tyler sent me this recipe. I couldn’t be happier. I love Caesar salad at restaurants but hadn’t attempted it at home. I took the recipe and made a couple alterations. It came out wonderful. You must like cilantro, garlic, and anchovies to enjoy this one. Packed with bold delicious flavors! Thank you Tyler for sharing this with us.
Special Note: If you don’t like anchovies, you ...
