This quinoa salad is by far one of the most exciting salads that I’ve tasted. It’s bright and zesty. It’s exciting and lively. It makes it a great accompaniment for grilled or roasted meat, poultry and seafood. Though, it doesn’t mean that this salad can’t be enjoyed on its own. It’s just as delicious as the slightly less zesty Mediterranean quinoa salad. To get that wonderful zesty and cheerful taste I combined lime juice with lime zest, fresh mint and red hot pepper flakes....

During a war, people didn’t have as much as they did in more peaceful times, which often meant they had to cook with very few and basic ingredients. Sometimes, they only had what rations or commodities the government gave them. Trying to come up with a complete, balanced, and healthy meal given those kinds of restrictions wasn’t easy, but creative people usually made do. Occasionally, they’d even cobble together enough to fix a dessert, which was definitely a rarity in such difficult times....

If you aren’t familiar with it, Campari is a fruity, herb-flavored Italian bitters liqueur, usually consumed before eating a meal (an aperitif). Cocktails made with Campari may or may not be strong and may or may not have a slightly bitter alcohol tang, depending on the other ingredients. They’re primarily – though not always – red, pink, or orange because Campari itself is a bright, vibrant red. However, other ingredients can alter the color somewhat....

In some ways, brandy cocktails and whiskey cocktails have a lot in common, but brandy cocktails, while potent, tend to be somewhat sweeter, more floral-like, and fruitier. Of course, that doesn’t mean you won’t still get some smoky, woodsy drinks; you will. However, there are also some lighter cocktails in the mix. So whether you’re looking for something traditional, like the sidecar, or something new and fun to try, this list should have a drink for you....
