My love of cooking started when I was trying to earn my Girl Scout cooking badge. My family savors the sweet sauce on these skewers. --Joanne Haldeman, Bainbridge, Pennsylvania
Tender chicken in a tangy sauce, topped with pretty pineapple, makes a mouthwatering main dish. The recipe comes from Jean Ecos of Waukesha, Wisconsin.
This recipe for ma po tofu, a Chinese stir-fry, is simple to make and good for you, too. Add a side of chilled melon and a cold glass of dry riesling for a satisfying supper.
Substitute chicken for pork in this dish, if you prefer. Pink beans are similar to pinto beans, but smaller; if you can't find pink beans, substitute pintos. Add cheddar corn bread and orange slices to round out the meal.
You'd never guess it's Tofu! Peanut and ginger flavors combine to create a wonderful Asian-flavored dish that everyone will love. Serve over white rice.
This beautiful rice is infused with onion, a few bay leaves and peas while it simmers and cooks on the stove. The result is a fragrant and very pretty rice pilaf. Serves four.
