Ruth's Flax Seed Balls

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Missy Wombat  

This was one of the first recipes that I tried when I first joined recipezaar. At the time I was looking for healthy, natural snacks. I should have reviewed these much earlier because two years later I still think they are great! They require a... — Veggiequeen Feb 15, 2007

Peanut Butter Banana Bars (Healthy)

(11 people found this helpful) Posted by msm in Michigan  

I loved these! But I should say I made a few critical changes, based on other reviewers comments. First, I was worried they'd be a little dry (I always use wholewheat flour). So I added a little more banana (about 3.5) and an extra tbsp of crunchy... — Veggiequeen Feb 12, 2007

Banana " Ice Cream "

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Geema  

This is fabulous, healthy and oh-so-easy! The vanilla essence is a must as it lends the final product an icecream-like flavour, and tones down the banana. I used soy milk but I think regular milk would probably give an even better icecream... — Veggiequeen Feb 11, 2007

Jamie Oliver's Best Pasta Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

This made a great summer supper! I accidentally overcooked the garlic - which toned down the flavour slightly (the garlic flavour definitely enhances the dish), but it was still good. I also used about half the quantities of oil and vinegar (I... — Veggiequeen Feb 5, 2007

Banana Orange Muffins

Posted by hellokitty  

I had a banana glut but was tired of the usual banana and raisin muffin recipes. The addition of dates and orange zest in this recipe provided a great twist on a classic muffin. I used wholewheat flour and subbed soy milk + lemon juice as I didn't... — Veggiequeen Feb 4, 2007

Broccoli, Peanut & Sweet Red Pepper Stir-fry

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Cindy Lynn  

I have made this before and found it quick, easy and healthy (I reduced the peanuts to the recommended daily serving - a couple of tablespoons per person). I also tossed through sesame oil a minute before serving. I think the trick is not to cook... — Veggiequeen Jan 15, 2007

White Bean Piccata

Posted by EdsGirlAngie  

I had been wanting to try this for ages and with my local farmers market closed for a few weeks over the new year, we were reduced to cupboard staples! We added the capers and felt it enhanced the taste of the dish (we used wholegrain penne -... — Veggiequeen Jan 3, 2007

North African Cauliflower Soup

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

YUM! This was such an unusual but great combination of flavours. I added the spices early - once the onions were cooked, and stirred them until the mixture became fragrant, before adding the cauliflower and stock. I used only 3 cups of vege stock... — Veggiequeen Jul 28, 2006

Turkish Pizza

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by JustJanS  

This is much better than the turkish pizza from our local Turkish place. Fresh parsley is a must, and definitely use the lemon for this! Have made this a few times, but this time BF put an extra layer of thinly sliced tomato on the bottom (on top... — Veggiequeen Jul 7, 2006

Homemade Gluten or Seitan

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by DR. House  

Wow. These were fun to make. I have to say I was a little sceptical about how well the recipe would work after I'd created the dough, but once simmered in the broth the dough takes on a spongey almost tofu-like consistency. The cutlets were a... — Veggiequeen Feb 13, 2006

Zucchini Pancakes

Posted by raspberryjello  

I really liked the idea of these, but was a little unsure about what to do with the zucchini. After reading jellie's review I was a little paranoid and so ended up processing my zucchini so finely it was almost pulp - I then squeezed it dry. I... — Veggiequeen Feb 10, 2006

Chocolate Oat Blondies

Posted by Midge_  

I added a few extra chopped glace cherries and used rolled oats. This was a delicious recipe, and quite sweet enough. However, I wouldn't recommend using white flour - I think it would make it a little too sweet (and perhaps bland). The nutty... — Veggiequeen Feb 7, 2006

Cantaloupe With Honey Ginger Dressing

Posted by littleturtle  

This made a great summer dessert. The zingy warmth of the ginger complimented the sweetness of the rockmelon (cantaloupe). I didn't have a lime so doubled the orange zest, then cheated by adding a dash of lime extract. I heated the mix on the... — Veggiequeen Jan 27, 2006

Pesto and Goat Cheese Quesadillas

Posted by DangerBun  

By a sheer stroke of luck I had both these ingredients fresh in the fridge (making the tortillas from scratch was the most time consuming bit!). I served this as a main dish, with a rocket salad on the side(drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and... — Veggiequeen Jan 26, 2006

Pumpkin Seed, Basil and Miso Pesto

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sharon123  

Mmmm, this was good. I think I expected it to have a slightly stronger accent on the "basil" flavour, but then I'm allergic to pinenuts so don't know what real pesto actually tastes like. BF reckoned it was BETTER than real pesto. Next time I... — Veggiequeen Jan 24, 2006

Pesto-Zucchini Quesadillas

Posted by maesyn  

This was super easy "comfort" food which isn't actually too bad for you (as long as you go easy on the cheese and/or sour cream!). I'm allergic to pinenuts so I substituted Pumpkin Seed, Basil and Miso Pesto (Pumpkin Seed, Basil and Miso Pesto) for the store bought... — Veggiequeen Jan 24, 2006

Greek Seasoning (Spice)

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Kat  

This definitely had a great mix of ingredients - sweet, spicy and herbed. However, we found it was far too salty using the full quantities of both salt and bouillon. I'd recommend cutting down on the salt, and possibly even omitting or cutting... — Veggiequeen Jan 20, 2006

Low-Fat Japanese Miso Dressing

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by PinkGerbera  

I used this as a stir-fry sauce, and really liked it. I lightly cooked my stirfry vegetables first (with one clove garlic), then tossed the sauce through after I'd turned the heat off. If using for another stirfry I probably wouldn't add the... — Veggiequeen Nov 8, 2005
