Don’t forget to peel the white asparagus or you’ll have a very tough asparagus dish. If you don’t have a grill then cook then in a grill pan over a medium heat.
It must be my Czech upbringing, but I absolutely love beets. If you love beets like I do then give my Watercress & Beet Salad a try for dinner tonight.
Okra is one of those vegetables that people forget about. I know I do, but when I make a dish out of okra I remember how much I love it. Here is a super simple recipe for okra that you and your family will love.
Finally spring is here and not a moment too soon either! I like to make Asparagus Soup as soon as the really good asparagus comes into the market. The young spears are tender enough to purée easily, and the result is smooth and creamy. The soup is wonderful in any season, actually, as asparagus is usually available year-round in most markets. You can always trim the spears with a vegetable peeler if the ends look at all fibrous.
This chickpea salad is a nice change from a green salad.. I typically make a green salad to go with dinner each night and sometimes like to change it up a bit. Make sure to choose tomatoes that are firm rather than overripe for this recipe.
No meat. No Problem. Just make sure to serve with plenty of crusty warm bread for dipping.

Kidney beans are full of protein and fiber and make a wonderful base for a side dish. If you don’t have red kidney beans then use whatever beans you do have. I’ll bet this dish would be great with chickpeas.
Homemade is always better so ignore those powder soup packets on the grocery shelves and make your own. You’ll be amazed at how easy Miso Soup is to make and absolutely delicious.
Baby zucchini are very tender, tasty simple vegetables that have more flavor than the larger Italian zucchini, which is why I like to cook with them. I decided to make a vegetarian pasta dish with baby zucchini and tomatoes that ended up tasting fresh and light.
