Warm Spinach and Sausage Salad

Posted by ms_bold  

I've made this several times now, always for dinner. The flavors and textures are so satisfying, and it's low-carb! I've tried it with real sausage (best) and soy crumbles (not as good, but okay) to keep the fat down. Either way, it's filling and... — *sandra* Nov 3, 2009

No-Bake Chocolate-Raspberry Cream Pie

Posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night  

This is outstsanding to the point of crazy! I tore this recipe out of Bon Appetit and tried it just today. It is rich and textured, wonderfully creamy. Raspberries and chocolate (love that the chips are bittersweet!) are such a great combination.... — *sandra* Jun 21, 2009

This is so refreshing, healthy and satisfying! I added some spanish onion to the pico de gallo, but that's the only change I made. It was the bomb! — *sandra* Jun 19, 2009

Grilled Flank Steak With Avocado Relish

Posted by Little Suzy Homemaker  

I was glad to see this recipe posted...you saved me from doing it! We really loved this dish. I did use extra-virgin olive oil in place of the avocado oil. I thought the rub could use a little more salt, but that's not worthy of less stars. I... — *sandra* Jun 6, 2009

Thai Spicy Shrimp Salad (Yaam Goong)

Posted by Sue L  

So much satisfaction, so little fat and calories! I forgot to get lemongrass, so I subbed the zest of one lemon. I also served the gingerroot on the side, because of family allergies. This was so full of flavor! Thank you for posting. — *sandra* Mar 12, 2009

Sake Martini

Posted by Chicagoland Chef du Jour  

Five stars because I'm drinking it now and it makes me incredibly happy! I love vodka and sake and cucumbers! I think I'll add a bit more sake next time. This is not a sweet martini at all (which I love...don't sugar the rim, sugar!), and that... — *sandra* Mar 6, 2009

Lighter Chocolate Pudding Cake

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by brithebaker  

This was like a grand experiment for me. I've never tried making cake in a crockpot before. Because my crockpot is so freaking huge, I doubled the recipe, but left the cooking time the same. I timed it so it would be done a couple hours after... — *sandra* Mar 5, 2009

Baked Spaghetti (Weight Watchers Friendly)

Posted by mandalee65  

Made as written, very tasty and satisfying! I do believe it would easily serve more than 10. Four of us ate it, and I froze 2/3 afterwards. This makes it not only low in fat, but cheap! Thanks for posting, mandalee. — *sandra* Feb 27, 2009

Chicken and Dumplings - Lighter Fare

Posted by xxciv  

The flavor of this is absolutely outstanding. It's lighter and healthier, but you won't feel like you're eating diet food. I did have some trouble with the dumplings. I followed the directions exactly, but it was almost as if they wouldn't fully... — *sandra* Feb 16, 2009

Kittencal's Easy No-Fail Make Anytime Turkey Gravy

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Absolutely perfect. I didn't have quite 4 cups of drippings, so I used some home-made turkey stock I had in the freezer to make up for it. I received many compliments. It was delicious! Thank you, Kittencal. — *sandra* Dec 29, 2008

Pistachio Baked Salmon

Posted by cookiedog  

I generally don't review recipes that I've changed in any way, but this was sooooo good! I had no lemon, so I used balsamic vinegar, and I'm sure it's just as great either way. We ate it without the pesto and loved every crunchy bite. Thank you... — *sandra* Nov 17, 2008

Derf's Lettuce Wraps

Posted by Derf  

Fabulous! I've made this twice now. I didn't use the cheese, and on the second go-round added a cup of cooked bulgur for some whole-grain fiber, and doubled the sauce. It didn't change the flavor at all, but added a little more nutrition. We were... — *sandra* Mar 25, 2008
