Lots of people have mixed feelings about coleslaw. With the watery, mayo-laden minced versions out there, I can understand the less than enthusiastic response that slaw gets. However, here’s a new take on your average cabbage coleslaw. This version has just a hint of mayo, combined with some fresh ginger and other Asian flavors for aRead more
I love sesame. Sesame oil has such a great fragrant smell to it and is fantastic in Asian dishes. These sesame noodles are great as a side dish, but also work as a light lunch. I got some napa cabbage in my CSA and saw this recipe on the same day, so I thought theRead more
We’re getting temps up in the 90s already in the DC area. So I’m already focusing on meals that don’t require cooking. Salads are also great for taking advantage of spring produce. The star of this is really the dressing, the salad can be made with whatever you have in the fridge (although I amRead more
So as the first few days of warmer weather are fighting through the cold weeks, it gets a little easier to think about eating cold salads. However, if you’re still snow bound, maybe the bright colors and flavors in this cabbage slaw will be able to tempt you into eating like spring has arrived. I’mRead more
These were delicious! I was a huge fan of this meal. It’s veggie packed, with lean but moist and super flavorful turkey patties that are conveniently baked in the oven. While I did have a bit of a challenge finding green curry paste (…how is that not at my local Asian market??), I was ableRead more

This salad is a bit different, it doesn’t have a whole lot going on, but it plays well with other dishes. I served it for a Tuesday night dinner with the most amazing Spiced Stuffed Acorn Squash, which needed a nice supporting character and I thought this Roasted Cabbage fit the bill nicely. This comesRead more
I’m a big fan of cabbage and love finding new ways to eat it. Cabbage is wonderfully inexpensive and goes a long way. I made this for Tuesday and have already made it again to go with our Thanksgiving leftovers. The lime is refreshing and tart, the peanuts add a sweet crunch, and the edamameRead more
I have a problem. I am completely unable to estimate amounts. For the Seekers luncheon we had enough food to feed at least 100 (I’m halving all the amounts I used for a more realistic serving size). However it’s really hard to guess how much a recipe will make. For example, the recipe for thisRead more
To go with the Indian theme of the Tomato and Red Lentil Soup, I found this Cabbage Slaw recipe in this month’s Cooking Light magazine. I thought it was a great complement to the soup! This is also great on it’s own and was good the next day too. Cabbage Slaw with Tangy Mustard SeedRead more
