Polynesian Flank Steak

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.  We served it with potato salad and grilled up some pineapple and green onions as well.  Our only [...]

Sesame Noodles with Chicken

This recipe comes from Cooking Light’s June 2006 issue. It’s good, but we have better recipes for this same type of dish, so we won’t be making this one again.

Orange Black Beans with Cumin

This 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 [...]
