Thai Beef Tacos with Lime Cilantro Slaw Recipe

Tacos with a Southeast Asian Sensibility

Here's an Asian version of the humble taco that doesn't taste like anything you get at the Bell (or the Cabana). There's neither beans nor cheese; instead it's seasoned with southeast Asian flavors like ginger and fish sauce. If you're in a hurry, you can use the packaged versions of slaw and carrots in the recipe, or you could be more hand-on and pull out your mandoline to shred your own carrots and cabbage.

Red Curry Tilapia with Coconut Sauce Recipe

Spice up Tilapia with Red Curry

When wanting a slightly less healthy, but fragrantly delicious version of tilapia the answer is always easy. Red curry, combined with fresh basil and coconut milk always wins. Reduce the calories by using light coconut milk without sacrificing flavor. Serve over brown rice rather than white rice to experience an interesting combination of flavors.

Year of the Snake Noodles

Here's a tasty dish made with spaghetti noodles that's not in the least Italian. It comes from a 1989 cookbook published by a Denver-based health company. 1989 was the Year of the Snake, hence the name. We often substitute jerusalem artichoke spaghetti for the whole wheat variety, which reduces the fiber content but improves on whole wheat spaghetti's somewhat lackluster flavor.
