Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up in Louisiana and love red beans and rice; these are just like I remember. Serve with hot sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl.

This coconut rice is perfect! I tried many different ways to duplicate my favorite restaurant's coconut rice after they went out of business. It's delicious topped with toasted coconut and chopped cilantro.

This Mexican rice recipe makes a wonderful restaurant-style side dish for any Mexican dinner.

Easy homemade shrimp fried rice with peas, carrots, garlic, and green onions. All my kids love this dish!

This flavorful pork chop dinner recipe is proof that bold Neapolitan puttanesca sauce can liven up more than just spaghetti. Unlike brined olives like Kalamatas, oil-cured olives have a meatier bite because they're coated in salt then macerated in oil. Look for them on olive bars or with other Italian products. Serve with sautéed broccoli rabe and whole-wheat orzo.

In addition to pork, you can use the tangy orange-and-cranberry sauce side dish recipe over grilled chicken or fish too.
