The trick to learning to like vegetables you hate is to disguise their appearance and flavor. Think about what it is you dislike about that particular vegetable.
I asked Fred why he's anti-green beans. It turns out that he remembers the long, mushy canned beans from childhood.
Step 1: Chop the beans into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2: Change texture. Sauté them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper on high heat until they're crispy on the outside and still slightly firm.
Step 3: Change the flavor: Add pesto (with homemade lemony basil from the co-op) and an extra bit of parmesan cheese!
Results: "Is this pasta?" Fred asks as I hand him a plate of beans.

Delicious with a side salad

A quick, healthy meal from your slowcooker.

While this burger tastes like a meatball sub, it's far lighter and healthier. With only four ingredients, this 20-minute meal is sure to be a family favorite.

I make this when I have some calories left at the end of the day and am craving something rich. I use only on slice of bread to cut the carbs.

This yummy chicken is super simple to make and low in calories. I learned how to make it from a family member and it's one of my favorite dinners and I hope you enjoy it too!

I serve this with 1/2 cup of rice or pasta with basil pesto .
Makes 4 servings of 1 breast each.

This simple and delicious appetizer is very festive--red and green for the holidays.

This pizza is not your usual game-day pie--it goes all the way! Even better: it has just four ingredients!

Great on Pasta

looked through the existing recipes and didn't find one that was identical; used less olive oil - so save a little pasta water to help thin to taste. not outrageously spicy but quite tasty.

This is a recipe that sounds (and tastes) fancy but is actually quite easy to make--and ready in just 15 minutes.

This flavorful squash can always be found in the kitchen at the ranch as a creative replacement for white pasta. Add grilled chicken and a tomato salas and you have a meal. The avocado pesto is also delicious as a sandwich condiment or drizzled over sliced tomatoes.

We tend to think of herbs as garnishes, but parsley takes a starring role in this fresh pesto.

This dish is almost fat-free, but is still very creamy and tasty.

This dairy-free pesto comes from a member who lives in the heart of cilantro country--northern California. You'll love it.

When your basil plants grow and grow make this pesto up fresh and serve with hot pasta.
