Note: Prep. time does..."

Ingredients: cinnamon sticks, clarified butter...

"This spicy rice delicacy is a perfect main dish for when you have lots of other last minute preparations, since rice cooks perfectly in a pressure cooker. Sprouts are easier to digest and abound in protein, calcium, iron as well as vitamin C. Serve with a chilled 'raita' or plain yogurt. This recipe is from www.tarladalal.com."

"While it's not difficult to use dried beans from their natural state, I find that I don't tend to remember that I need to soak/pre-cook the beans until it's too late to use them for dinner.

"I put all my vegetable peelings, onion skins, a few egg shells (for calcium) and other edible waste in a 3 qt zip lock bag that I keep in the freezer. When it is full I use it to make stock. (Knowing this, I wash dirt off items before peeling.)

"Our friend gave us this salsa recipe. It called for 1/4 cup of sugar but we did not like that addition. So we made it again leaving out the sugar.
