Bircher Muesli

Posted by Daydream  

Oh wow! I'm one of those who craves 'breakfast' food at any time during the day, so I decided to treat myself to this for dinner today. Scaled it down to 1 serving and didn't use the optional apples. Used bananas as the fruit, added a dash of... — Anu Apr 17, 2008

Lentil or Split Pea Dal With Garlic Butter

Posted by figaro8895  

Scaled this down all the way to 1 serving and it still worked with only the minimal amount of adjustment to cooking times. Might want to watch the salt, though; mine was a little too salty for my taste. The cumin-garlic seasoning adds a tremendous... — Anu Apr 11, 2008

Veggie-Laden Corn Chowder

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

SO perfect for a rainy Mumbai day! Great ingredients put together, especially the celery, which adds a burst of flavour! I used a Maggi seasoning cube instead of Old Bay, which we don\'t get here, and used vegetable oil. I peppered this generously... — Anu Jul 15, 2004

Roasted Sweet Potato Side or Main

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Karyl Lee  

The instructions in this recipe are very lucid and easy to follow, but the end result was a little drier than I had hoped. The combination of ingredients worked well but it lacked the 'juice' that perhaps a chopped tomato could have provided. I... — Anu Jul 30, 2003

Curried Peanut Rice

Posted by James Craig  

This was nice, if a bit on the dry side. The curry powder that you use can break or make this recipe so make sure you use one that you really like! I used Madras curry sambar powder which worked pretty well. The peanuts tasted a little odd because... — Anu Jul 9, 2003

Our Favorite Chocolate Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by mandabears  

YUMMMMMMM! I made this for a friend's birthday and it was a huge hit! I didn't have semi-sweet chocolate so I used milk chocolate bars and halved the amount of condensed milk because I didn't want it to be too sweet. I added 1/2 cup of chopped... — Anu Jun 20, 2003

Yum, yum! Had this first thing in the morning, and I feel cleansed already! Love the fact that it tastes good while being good for you! I'll let you know in a week if this thing works... Update: (a week later) It works like a charm! It MIGHT... — Anu Jun 1, 2003

Orzo & Pignoli ( Pasta & Pine Nuts)

Posted by Barb Gertz  

All I had in hand was bow-tie pasta so I used that, but I didn't change anything else in the recipe. This was flavourful, but a little too plain. I think throwing in a handful of steamed veggies would make a world of a difference. — Anu May 29, 2003

Peas Amandine

Posted by Karen=^..^=  

I scaled this all the way down to 1 serving and it still turned out great without any worries. I made this without mushrooms and cooked the onions very little. Almonds roasted in butter are simply marvellous, and they make plain veggies taste so... — Anu May 28, 2003

Red, White and Green Mini Penne

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by canarygirl  

So simple and yet so delicious! I halved this recipe and used butter instead of olive oil. The butter and leftover "juice" from the sun-dried tomatoes combine to make a fantastic "sauce". The unusual combination of basil, peas, and parmesan works... — Anu May 28, 2003

Garlic Green Beans

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

Excellent flavour! I agree that the butter could be cut in half, though. I'm going to try this with as many veggies as I can. Thanks MizzNezz! — Anu May 27, 2003

Toasted Pistachio with Honey Yoghurt (LOW FAT)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KitchenManiac  

This really is a fantastic idea, and I really enjoyed the first few "bites", but as I reached the bottom of the glass, it started getting far too sweet for me and I just couldn't finish the rest of it. The freshly toasted pistachios were simply... — Anu May 26, 2003

tofu/egg burritos

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Brave Noodle (njg)  

8 ounces of tofu is a LOT for 1 serving, and I had to eat some filling on its own because it didn't all hold inside the tortillas! This also felt a bit dry so I added some salsa while cooking the tofu. I also added some garlic powder and parmesan... — Anu May 20, 2003

Cappuccino Mix

Posted by erinn in tbay  

This is quite nice, but slighty on the watery side... it didn't seem to have enough body. I didn't feel the need for any extra sugar, though. I'll give this a try with a combination of hot milk and water to see if that makes it richer! — Anu May 14, 2003

Addicted To Porridge

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by catxx  

A good versatile recipe! I followed your instructions and cooked it for a full 20 minutes, without adding any excess water. Once it was done I added a good amount of wheat germ, golden syrup and cinnamon. I really liked the hint of coconut and the... — Anu May 11, 2003

Parmesan Beans And Peppers

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

Although the beans turned out quite crunchy (and even a bit charred!) and gave my jaws a pretty good workout, I really liked this! I used yellow peppers and I might add some more next time. The parmesan cheese adds a very subtle flavour, as does... — Anu May 8, 2003

No Bake Chocolate Cookies

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Lu Ann  

Quick and easy! This tastes more like candy than a cookie, and it was a bit too sweet for me, but my friends loved it. I had to use 3/4 cup butter (not margarine) to dissolve all the sugar since I didn't want it to be gritty. Refrigeration really... — Anu May 7, 2003

Onion Cheese Bread

Posted by carolinafan  

Mmmmmm, really good! I used butter, Bisquik and dried parsley, and omitted the egg. The bread was done after 20 minutes of baking. While this definitely wasn't low fat, it sure tasted good enough to compensate for that! Thanks carolinafan, your... — Anu May 1, 2003

Smoked Gouda mashed potatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mrs.Habu  

Pretty darn good! I used whole milk and "unsmoked" gouda, and had to add some more salt and pepper. The cooking time for the potatoes was perfect, and I really liked the texture of the end product. I think that some more gouda would make it even... — Anu May 1, 2003
