Hatch Green Chili Rice

Muse — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 03:05:32 GMT

One of my favorite things to make this time of year is green chili rice. I've been making this recipe ever since I discovered the Hatch chili, but can be made with any green chili peppers if it's not Hatch chili season. It's a wonderful accompaniment to grilled chicken or fish and can even be served as a main dish style casserole.

Chick Pea Salad Recipe

Muse — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:32:09 GMT

Chick Peas, also called Garbanzo beans, are an excellent source of protein, but are rather bland by themselves. The addition of balsamic vinegar in this recipe gives them a nice kick.

Greek Potato Recipe

Muse — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:31:55 GMT

A favorite oven roasted side for any grilled entrée…these potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. Yukon Gold potatoes are great for this recipe; baby reds may also be used as a nice variation. Only use olive oil and don’t cut back on the garlic.
