Green Beans and Carrots Sauteed in Butter and Garlic

This is a simple way to prepare your veggies, but it looks really pretty and tastes delicious. The good thing about this technique is you can steam them ahead of time, and then sauté them at the last minute so you have a hot side dish ready with the rest of your meal.

Quick BBQ Zucchini

Another quick and tasty way to do vegetables on the BBQ. No need to measure ingredients but don’t go overboard on the herbs.

Good Old-Fashioned Mashed Potato

I was looking for a mashed potato recipe on Zaar and couldn’t find one. So here it is. We have mashed potatoes with casserole, stew or just as a side. Also being gluten-free I often use a gluten free pastry for the base of a pie and just top it with mash. You can use any quantity of potatoes, butter and milk/cream to your preferences.

Perfect No Fail Basmati Rice

This is my version on how to cook perfect rice….every grain will cooked to perfection…not one will stick together and you can make fried rice dishes right away with no problems!! Note: you will need a saucepan with clear glass lid…as there is to be no peeking! Can easily be doubled….cooking time a guesstimate.
