Greek Bean Soup with a twist (Fasolada)
Yesterday, was a bit of a chilly day in the Netherlands, so I decided to make this soup which is a favorite of mine. This soup is usually eaten during the winter time, so when you come home from that snowy or rainy day you want to have something warm to eat. You can always make this soup in advance and keep it in the freezer, all you do is warm it up and enjoy. :) The twist to my soup is that I add bacon, :) and with the oregano it gives it a rustic - spicy taste. I am a person who enjoys trying new things, so I often make this soup during the summer season, and eat it cold, like a salad. :)

Sweet Tomato Sauce
I don't like commercial tomato sauce, it's too vinegar flavoured!Use this where you'd use store bought tomato sauce.Back off on the vinegar if you like, I think it's about correct but depends on the manufacturer.

Easy Spaghetti Bolognese Sauce made with a Food Processor
I bought a food processor a few years ago just to make this sauce. Over time, I started making it without checking the recipe,and the portions grew to about twice the amount of this recipe.Adding vegetables in this order makes the sauce tasty.When you use spaghetti, pour pasta water into the sauce pan and the sauce will coat the spaghetti well.

Meat Balls with Hidden Brussels Sprouts
I wanted people who hate Brussels sprouts to eat them, so I hid them inside meatballs for a reverse-cabbage roll. My family ate up the Brussels sprouts without even realizing it, so I've repeated this recipe several times before settling on this version.*I used ground sausage meat to make this, but you can use sausages as well, or use ground pork and 2 slices of finely chopped bacon with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your favorite spices.*As for the tomato sauce, you can use store-bought, homemade, or even tomato purée. When using purée, add sautéed onions and garlic, sugar, and miso to round out the flavors. Recipe by sunny.

Surf Clam Paella In a Frying Pan!
I love surf clams, so I thought up this paella recipe, which takes full advantage of their umami.The amount of lukewarm water to use changes depending on how much moisture is in the vegetables. Please try making this several times. Test the rice when it's cooked, and adjust the amount of water.The reason for heating over high heat at the end is to crisp up the rice on the bottom.Try using other ingredients besides the surf clams for variety. For one 26 cm [10.2 in] frying pan full. Recipe by Stylish Mama

Fat Burning Tomato Soup With Chicken Tenders
I make this soup quite a lot. I'm not that fond of vegetable-only soups so I put in some low-fat chicken tender meat.(I have no idea if adding the chicken negates the soup's fat-burning qualities, so just think of it as regular tomato soup.)I only put in one chicken tender, but by cutting it up into tiny pieces it looks like there's a lot in there.A vegetable-only soup is a bit lacking in flavor, so by adding just a tiny bit of meat it changes.If you like carrot, cut them into rough pieces instead. For 2 servings. Recipe by milestone
Fresh Cod with Onions, My Way
I recommend you try this recipe... it's a bit involved but worth it. It's fresh cod season, so take advantage. We bought a cod weighing almost three kilos; I made half of it breaded and the other half this way... both were exquisite.

Paella with Squid and Squid Ink
I often make stewed squid with ink and I like it. This time I turned it into a paella. You don't have to use a paella pan. A frying pan works well.At Steps 4 and 5, reduce the heat and saute the ingredients slowly. If you use a small squid, the resultant squid rings will look too small. Use a large squid if available. I used a 25-cm long squid in this recipe. Recipe by Hoink
Easy Paprika Rice with a Rice Cooker

Curry Pilaf with Chicken in Tomato-Cream Sauce
I wanted to make a fun meal that was very original and that people wouldn't get tired of. It had to be inexpensive and delicious, too. I don't know if a dish like this already exists, but I thought it sounded like a good combination and tried it out. Result: it was very tasty, so I turned it into a recipe.I wasn't sure whether I should stir fry the flour with the chicken, but mixing it with milk worked fine. In Step 6, simmer the sauce for 1-2 minutes after it's bubbling. If you use cream instead of milk, the sauce will be quite rich. You could blend milk and cream, too. For 4 servings.
