Spicy Pickled Green Beans

Adapted from a recipe from Everyday Food. Up the sugar to a tablespoon or a little more, and use either granulated or brown sugar, to make more of a bread-and-butter type pickle. These are refrigerator pickles and they’ll keep for about a month. Yummy with tomato sandwiches. Let them sit for at least 24 hours before you try them.

Green Beans with Almond Pesto

A quick recipe from Prevention magazine.

Bok Choy and Kale Fried Rice with Fried Garlic

Yay! The first of the garlic. A recipe from seriouseats.com.

Slow Cooker Red Curry Soup with Chicken and Greens

I’ll be making this recipe adapted from one on seriouseats.com because I have some red curry paste leftover from testing recipes and am delighted to have yet another use for it. Not to mention, what’s not to love about a slow cooker recipe? Easy, and dinner is done while you’re off doing other things. You could use the Swiss chard or the bok choy if you have another plan for your kale, and vary the other vegetables by what you have on hand.

Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

This is one of my favorite cookbooks! If you like ranch dressing, you’ll love this. It’s exactly what you remember ranch dressing to be, without a lot of stuff that you don’t have in your kitchen. It amazed me the first time that I made homemade ranch dressing. We’re enjoying this tonight, with a huge salad with other veggies (radishes!) and ham, as soon as I finish writing this up.
