Long a favorite in South American, Indian, and Asian cuisines, the rest of the world is finally catching on to the pleasure of cashews in savory dishes. Try Curried Beef Gratin, Peanut Butter Mud Bars, Chocolate Nut Banana Cream Cake, or one of the many other cashew recipes. • Cashew Recipes and Cooking Tips • More About Nuts • Follow me on Twitter • Become a Home Cooking Facebook fan Cashews Photo © 2010 Peggy Trowbridge Filippone, licensed to About.com, Inc.   Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake Recipe Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:58 +00002013-05-21T00:00:58Z Take the tangy flavor of rhubarb and put it into an upside-down cake for a winning combination that steps away from traditional rhubarb pie or pineapple upside-down cake.

It is enriched with salsa, cumin, and chili powder to give that Latin flavor. This version is fairly mild, but you can easily bump up the heat by using a hot salsa and/or increasing the amount of chili powder. Please do not skip the cilantro. It mellows out quite a bit with heat, but still gives that subtle hint of flavor necessary to set it apart. This rice goes great with Taco Meatballs or Meatloaf. • Spanish Rice Recipe • Mexican Recipes • More Rice Recipes • Follow me on Twitter • Become a Home Cooking Facebook fan Spanish Rice Recipe Photo © 2011 Peggy Trowbridge Filippone, licensed to About.com, Inc.   Asparagus, Beet and Tomato Couscous Sun, 19 May 2013 17:38:38 +00002013-05-19T17:38:38Z This asparagus, beet and tomato couscous is one of my favorite picnic salads, and one that I make as often as I can while asparagus is still in season.

After all, many restaurants now publish calorie counts, though not terribly accurately, as researchers from Tufts University have noted. More comprehensive calorie count requirements, covering a wider range of restaurants, still seem a long way off. Yet eating out can be the undoing of many a diet. Without adequate labeling plus overly large portion sizes, it's easy to overeat at restaurants. You can help yourself a little by becoming acquainted with some of the descriptions that indicate a food is high in fat. Some are obvious; others may be less so. So here's a guide to spotting some typically high-fat foods in restaurants. ...
