Green Beans with Garlic and Golden Raisins (Copycat from Disney’s Boma – Flavors of Africa)

December 8, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Green Beans with Garlic and Golden Raisins was inspired by a dish I had at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge called Boma – Flavors of Africa. It’s richly-flavored and slightly nutty with a good balance of sweet and savory.

I never thought I’d actually say this, but these are the green beans of my dreams. There is something oddly satisfying about a giant bowl of these, so much that I can make it an entire meal and be sated (umm, so when I say that the recipe serves 2 to 4 people, I guess that’s really more of a guideline because it’s really just 1 if you’re me).…

Middle Eastern Spiced Green Beans with Olive Oil and Tomato (Loubieh bil Zayt)

June 19, 2017 by Faith 8 Comments

Middle Eastern Spiced Green Beans with Olive Oil and Tomato (Loubieh bil Zayt) is a dish that’s simple to make, but complex in flavor. This dish is heady with aromatic spices, onion, and garlic, and the green beans take on a nutty flavor after being toasted in olive oil. I don’t think there’s anything more intimate than sharing a meal with someone. Food is so deeply intertwined in who we are…meals our moms made for special occasions growing up will always be special. Holiday foods remain festive in our minds and are reserved for once a year. And there’s nothing quite like the feeling of […]...

Spring Mix and Roasted Green Bean Salad with Creamy Maple-Miso Dressing

March 4, 2016 by Faith 13 Comments

Spring Mix and Roasted Green Bean Salad with Creamy Maple-Miso Dressing is packed with flavor and nutrition for a delicious lunch or side salad. When Mike and I have houseguests, there are two things I try to do when meal planning. The first is ask about their favorite foods or flavors and integrate them into the meals I make. And the second is share my salad-a-day habit with them by making a gorgeous gigantic salad for lunches. The trick is to make salad so interesting that no one can resist it....

Cheesy Green Bean and Red Rice Casserole {Lactose-Free; Gluten-Free}

November 16, 2015 by Faith 7 Comments

This Cheesy Green Bean and Red Rice Casserole makes a beautiful addition to any holiday spread. With Thanksgiving being next week, do you have your holiday meal fully planned? Of course there are some dishes that have to be on the table (I’m looking at you, turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce!), but in my family, we like to switch up the other sides a little bit. Maybe one year we’ll make candied sweet potatoes, and the next year it’ll be marshmallow-topped squash. Sometimes corn casserole is involved, and that is always a winner....

After reading the title of this recipe, you’re probably thinking that I’ve finally cracked. Lemonade in salad dressing?!, you ask. Yes; I’m telling you, it just works....

Two-Grain Vegetable Salad with Chickpeas and Feta

“You want to make potato salad again?”, Mike asked me one day. We were headed to a potluck pool party later that day and he was apparently sick of potato salad. (I can’t blame him though; I brought our favorite potato salad to three different parties in the past month! Truth be told, I’m a little sick of potato salad too.)...
