Baby Spinach Salad with Dates & Almonds

Sautéed Asian Broccoli Slaw
This Sautéed Asian Broccoli Slaw is very easy and fast to prepare. Broccoli slaw is made from peeled and grated broccoli stems, carrots and red cabbage. Truth be told, I use it in stir-fry dishes all the time at the school I cook for. The kids have no idea they are eating broccoli and they love it.

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
This Chicken and Sausage Gumbo recipe is relatively quick to pull together compared to most traditional recipes. After preparing the roux, most of the time spent making gumbo is basically hands-free. You’ll just need to stir the pot occasionally to prevent sticking. You can serve it over rice for a complete meal and freeze the leftovers in gallon-size freezer bags. If there are any leftovers! Here is the recipe.

Crispy Orange Beef
Deep-Fried Doesn't Have to Mean Greasy, this beef only about 2 tablespoons of oil. Traditionally, Crispy Orange Beef is made by frying multiple batches of lightly battered beef in about 8 cups of oil. This recipe replaces the batter with a coating of cornstarch and freezing the dredged pieces of beef for easier handling as well as decreasing the oil. The sauce uses orange pith as well as zest to add complex bitter notes.

Cauliflower, Broccoli and Chickpea Curry
When I lived in New York in the '80s, I used to make a version of this Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Chickpea Curry. Mainly because I LOVE Indian food and it is very cheap to make. Sometimes I would make it with chicken.

Pan-Fried Zucchini with Vinegar and Chili Pepper
This Pan-Fried Zucchini with Vinegar and Chili Pepper is very quick to make. Fried zucchini is popular all over Italy, and change little from area to area.

One Pot Harissa Chicken with Chickpeas and Yogurt
This One Pot Harissa Chicken with Chickpeas and Yogurt is a fuss-free dish that’s easy to make at home. Spicy, fragrant harissa reduces and coats the chicken and chickpeas as they roast, and a creamy yogurt harissa sauce finishes it all off. Harissa is what my husband calls the ketchup of north Africa. Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste made with roasted red peppers, serrano peppers and other hot chili peppers and spices and herbs such as garlic paste, coriander seed, or caraway as well as some vegetable or olive oil for preservation. It's so good, I can't wait to make it again!
