Salads

Chickpeas are the main part of this flavorful dish and offer a variety of healthful benefits. A few of these include being a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Additionally, they are an excellent source of protein and keep you feeling full longer. Along with their nutritional benefits, chickpeas have been found to be […]

I’ve been waiting to put together a salad like this. Fall is definitely in the air and from now until after Thanksgiving, it will be pumpkins, beets, squash and all those other delicious autumn vegetables we love so much. It’s nice to have the opportunity to combine a few of them into this type of […]

I honestly had no idea how this recipe was going to turn out. I saw pictures of it and I wondered if there would simply be too many beans in a bowl to be any good. I’ve eaten too many beans before and they sort of all melded into one another. There wasn’t that distinction […]

I wasn’t sure if I was going to post this salad or not, but late last night, I decided to go ahead with it. It’s not the most complex salad in the world, but it sure it tasty and fun to eat. Perhaps its simplicity will be its selling point. Basically, we’ve got a variety […]

If you’re in the mood for a nice warm bean salad with a few shrimp on top, I’ve got the perfect recipe for you today. It’s not a difficult dish to put together, so I think you’ll enjoy it. This dish is actually under the Antipasti heading in my huge Italian cookbook. I’m learning what […]

Boy, I feel like I’ve been making a lot of salads lately. That’s probably because I have been. My previous two recipes have been salads and this one is the same.

Every so often I come across a recipe in a cookbook that confounds me. While the photos in the cookbook make the dish look appealing, I can’t imagine how I could ever duplicate it. If I’m feeling up for a challenge, I’ll go for it and see how things turn out. Sometimes I lose and […]

I’ve got a nice summer pasta salad recipe for you today. This one’s as easy as a snap. All you need to do is cook up the pasta and mix it in with all the other ingredients. And, as you may notice below (well, probably not), I purchased a few slick new camera lenses. I’m […]

I’ve prepared salads similar to this one in the past, so I had to put a bit of a spin on things to keep it interesting. Beet salads are always good in my book, but adding dried cranberries, mint and goat cheese to them just makes everything better. I think these additional ingredients also add […]

I’ve got another nice salad recipe for today. I was supposed to share three recipes this week, but one of them didn’t come out photo-worthy, which is a shame because it was absolutely awesome. It’s a shrimp dish in a heavy cream sauce that’s got some kick to it. We both loved it up around […]
