Bellepepper's Orzo and Wild Rice Salad
I enjoyed this salad at a well-known restaurant and when they wouldn't divulge the recipe, I created my own. Although a bit time consuming, everything can be prepared at least a day ahead, covered and refrigerated. I took this salad to the 2011 AR Buckeye Bash and am posting for those who requested the recipe. This salad may be served cold or at room temperature.
Yaki Udon
Yaki Udon is a classic Japanese stir-fry dish with udon noodles and lots of vegetables in a soy-based sauce. Feel free to add meat or tofu.
Tuscan Cannellini Beans
An amazing side dish to Italian meats--pairs especially well with porchetta. I have a hard time finding dry cannellinis, so this recipe calls for canned. But if you can find the dry, I'd roll with that.
