SBD      Ratatouille Classic French/Italian dish of roasted eggplant and zucchini and then stewed with tomatoes and oregano.

Persian Rice  Saffron is the ruling flavor in this dish.  Because of the special technique used, half the rice is yellow and the rest is white.  Some of the grains get toasted and crunchy during cooking and are very tasty.

Roasted Garlic Potatoes Very low in fat; cubed potatoes roasted in light oil with garlic and spices.

SBD Smothered Okra A fine Southern dish of okra smothered in onions and tomatoes.

SBD Stir-Fried Veggies This is best served with my Thai and Japanese dishes. Broccoli, julienned carrots, shiitake mushrooms. Almonds and/or water chestnuts can be added if you like.

SBD Parmesan-Roasted Artichoke Hearts Artichoke hearts topped with nuts and Parmesan and roasted in a bit of olive oil. You know this is good!

SBD Nutty Summer Squash with Asiago Very similar to the above but Asiago replaces the Parmesan and, of course, the veggies change as well.

SBD Sesame-Caraway Mixed Veggies This is really yummy, too. Broccoli, asparagus or Brussels Sprouts
