Experiment with different cooking times if you like -- shorter for a brighter, fresh flavor and longer for a deeper, more complex flavor. Serve alongside grilled pork or lamb, or tossed with pasta and parmesan cheese.

Thumb_15743_Creamy Macaroni And Cheese With Rapini

Using evaporated milk makes the sauce a very creamy, but has a fraction of the fat in heavy cream. Rapini's strong flavor is tempered by the cheese and keeps the dish from being too one-dimensional. Read more about this recipe at Coconut & Lime.

Rooted in cajun tradition, this basic rub doesn't skimp on cayenne pepper -- and is rounded out with ample amounts of onion and garlic powders. Rub it on ribs, pork chops, steaks or just about any cut of meat you plan to grill or roast. Try varying the amount of each spice to suit your taste.

Thumb_7436_Sliced Tomatoes With Olive Oil, Salt And Pepper

Sometimes, you just don't need to do much to really good ingredients. This is one of our favorite afternoon snacks -- two just-picked tomatoes drizzled with oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. To embellish it would be to ruin it.
