As much as I love talking and thinking about Thanksgiving, sometimes it's nice to take a quick break from the all-American feast and enjoy a simple Asian-inspired meal.
In this recipe, shrimp is combined with a gingery soy sauce, chunks of red pepper, and slivers of green onions. Served on a bed of rice, it makes for a light and flavorful alternative to the season's plethora of comfort foods.

Mediterranean-style pasta salad has quickly become one of my picnic staples. It's super easy to make a huge batch and tastes better after the flavors have mixed for a few hours. When making pasta salad, I prefer to employ orzo.

After a long week, the last thing you need to worry about is preparing a complex meal. Instead, throw together this filling and simple dish. Although the recipe cooks the Polish sausage and Summer squash in a saute pan over the stove, feel free to bring the ingredients outdoors.

Looking for an original new salad recipe? Head east and make this pot sticker salad with snap peas, carrots, bean sprouts, and green onions. It's both a mixture of flavors and textures: Soy sauce adds a salty tang and peanuts provide a welcoming crunch.

Recently I participated in a "quickfire challenge." I was asked to concoct an amuse-bouche for 20 people. However, I didn't know anything about the group I was feeding, so the bite had to be vegetarian with universally liked ingredients.

After a weekend of overindulgence, I had a hankering for something fresh from the ground! This simple, yet complex salad of asparagus, cucumber, and scallions with a zippy Dijon dressing quickly satiated my craving. The dressing, asparagus, and green onions can actually be prepared a day in advance provided they are stored separately.

This interesting recipe combines four elements to make a healthy and balanced meal. Lemony rice, poached fish, steaming broth, and fresh vegetables are layered in deep soup bowls.
If your grocery store doesn't have tilapia, substitute another budget-friendly firm white fish.

Today is world egg day, and to celebrate we should have eggs for dinner. For some crazy reason, the majority of Americans associate eggs with breakfast, but the incredible, edible egg can make a delicious dinner dish.
For example, the fashionable Italian frittata is a scrumptious meal.
