This flank steak recipe is excellent, and comes from Cooking Light’s June 2007 issue. We marinaded the steak for about 8 hours, and in that time the ginger really infused the steak and gave it great flavor.

Published by May 28th, 2007 in 3 Stars, Asian, Cooking Light, Easy Preparation, Heart Healthy, Pasta, Poultry and Quick and Easy. 0 CommentsThis recipe comes from Cooking Light’s June 2006 issue.

Ingredients: 8 ounces uncooked linguine 1 [...]
Ziti with Roasted Eggplant and Ricotta Cheese

Orange Black Beans with Cumin
Published by May 4th, 2007 in 2 Stars, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, Heart Healthy, One Pot, Quick and Easy and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsThis recipe comes from Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook, and the recipe was quite a disappointment. I had high hopes for it, but it fell short on many levels, primarily it was too sweet. Maybe if you leave out the brown sugar it would taste good, but even so, I’m not willing to give [...]
