Rating: 4.69
My grandma gave me this recipe and I absolutely love it. It’s great eating it in the warmer months or any family get-together.
Fennel Coleslaw
Rating: 4.5 stars
Refreshing and easy. The subtle fennel flavor classes up an otherwise average summer picnic dish. It’s cole slaw for those who don’t usually like it! Save some fennel leaves for garnishing. Especially delicious with grilled tuna steaks.
Berry Fruit Salad
Rating: 4.62 stars
Mixture of different delicious berries.
LaWanna’s Mango Salsa on Tilapia Fillets
Rating: 4 stars
A delicious fruity salsa topping to serve over fish or chicken, from a friend in Florida. I always use whatever that I have left in a mixed greens salad the next day. Use any kind of fish — I use tilapia or salmon. The fish may also be grilled, which is what I prefer. If I can’t find a good fresh pineapple, I will use canned pineapple tidbits.
Aloo Gobi Masala (Cauliflower and Potato Curry)
Rating: 3.93 stars
Traditional Indian cauliflower and potato curry recipe from my mom. We used to eat this all the time growing up. My sister likes it with peas too.
Tequila-Lime Pork Tenderloin

Rating: 4.43 stars
Don’t let some of the ingredients fool you–this spicy shrimp makes a simple, impressive dish, which I usually make for company. For more or less heat, adjust amount of red pepper. Serve over hot steamed rice.

Rating: 4.44 stars
A delicious blend of chicken, rice, and vegetables. Perfect as a meal, or to take the edge off hunger between meals. Excellent winter warmer.
Vegan Black Bean Burgers
Easy black bean burgers for everyone! You don’t need to follow the recipe or amounts exactly. I never do. Serve with your favorite burger fixings and sweet potato fries.
Garlic Green Beans
Rating: 4.42 stars
Caramelized garlic and cheese! Is there anything better with green beans? You’d better make plenty for everyone!
Spicy Fish Soup
Rating: 4.48 stars
A delicious fish soup that’s low in fat! Having grown up on the Texas/Mexico border, I like foods spicy, but you can adjust the seasonings to taste. I also splash in a drop of hot pepper sauce in each bowl.

Winter Chicken Bake

Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry
Rating: 4.42 stars
I just whipped this up one day when I felt like a stir-fry but did not have all the ingredients called for in some of the stir-fry recipes on this site. I used certain veggies I had on hand, but any seasonal veggies may be used. It has a mild ginger flavor that can be enhanced according to taste, and is filling yet light on the tummy! Tofu may be added. Serve over a bed of steamed jasmine rice.
Quinoa and Black Beans
Rating: 4.65 stars
Very flavorful alternative to black beans and rice. Quinoa is a nutty grain from South America.
Red Lentil Curry
Rating: 4.5 stars

Tasty marinated cucumbers. Ideal for a fresh side salad.
Vegan Split Pea Soup I
This makes a very thick vegetarian split pea soup. To make it thinner, reduce the amount of split peas or add more water. Depending on the density of split peas, it may take a while for the vegetables and peas to soften, but you can’t really overcook this soup; just stir occasionally, and add water if it gets too dry. Seasonings can be altered to taste. Tastes even better reheated.

The smell of hot buttery turnips always reminds me of the holiday season when my grandmother prepared this dish for the family. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.
