This is a great vegetarian sandwich with roasted asparagus and bell peppers that even meat-lovers will like! I came up with this idea after having an asparagus sandwich at a restaurant that my husband and I both loved. It is quick and easy and so yummy!

These savory sandwiches–made with storebought dinner rolls–turn rich and flavorful when drizzled with a buttery onion topping just before baking.

Take this salad to work and make your coworkers jealous! Marinated grilled chicken breast is tossed with mango, black beans, and jicama in a sweet and tangy dressing.

This is an easy, healthy salad that is a great side dish to BBQ chicken, beef or fish! It can also be easily adapted to a Tex-Mex style by changing the lemon to lime, parsley to cilantro and adding ground cumin and/or chili powder! Be sure to add the lemon zest (or lime zest) as this really adds a ZING to the salad!

A wonderful way to use the over-abundance of squash from your garden.

Red and green bell peppers, red potatoes, corn and kielbasa swim in a creamy base in this easy, thick chowder.
