Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken)

Posted by Chef 4TeenSon  

Excellent recipe — very easy to make and tastes wonderful. I used the evaporated milk and the only problem was that it curdled — need better instructions on order of adding things maybe? — Lowfat Linda Jun 15, 2007

This is such an easy but tasty dish. Real comfort food without the comfort food calories! To reduce the salt, I use one can of no salt diced tomatoes and one can of crushed tomatoes with rosemary and then add a little garlic and a little italian... — Lowfat Linda Dec 12, 2006

Belgian Stoemp Aux Carottes (Carrot Mashed Potatoes)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Belgicook  

This is a really good side dish! Since the original version had quite a lot of calories from fat, I made a low fat version — used evaporated skim milk instead of cream and vegetarian breakfast strips (we like to call it "Fake-in") instead of... — Lowfat Linda Nov 27, 2006

This was easy and tasty! The chicken was extremely tender. I only omitted the celery because I didn't have any on hand. I will make this one again. — Lowfat Linda Nov 20, 2006

Tofu Fried Rice (from Cooking Light)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by LonghornMama  

Yum, yum, yum! My tofu took longer to cook and I used brown rice, but otherwise we followed this recipe exactly and it is wonderful. We doubled the recipe and served seven people easily. Just had to do an update — we make this about 3 times... — Lowfat Linda Nov 13, 2006

Buca Di Beppo Chicken Marsala (Copycat)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Cooks4_6  

Very tasty dish! I made a few substitutions to reduce the sat. fat. I made a double batch: instead of bacon, I used seven Morning Star Breakfast strips (we call them 'fake-in') and instead of heavy cream, I used 1/2 C of evaporated skim milk.... — Lowfat Linda Jul 26, 2006

Summer Squash (Green and Yellow), Garlic, Onion, Lemon Zest

Posted by christena  

We enjoyed this side dish tonight. I used only summer squash and left out the red pepper due to picky kids. I have made a dish similar to this, but hadn't used chicken broth — I think the broth is a good addition. Thanks. — Lowfat Linda May 12, 2006

Crustless Florentine Tart

Posted by Mirj  

I really liked the idea of this recipe, but the mace was really overpowering (we couldn't enjoy the flavor of the spinach). I think that if I make this again, I would cut the mace to 1/8 t. I also wasn't sure when to add the garlic as it didn't... — Lowfat Linda May 3, 2006

Vietnamese clay pot pork

This was absolutely wonderful! I didn't use any chili (as my mom and children are rather picky about spices) and I used 1 tbs soy sauce instead of the fish sauce. this smells heavenly while cooking and my nine year old insisted on licking out... — Lowfat Linda Apr 5, 2006

Easy-To-Get-Your-5-A-Day Vegetarian Chilli

Posted by brew  

Excellent chili! I used summer squash instead of zucchini. To make the dish a little more kid- and grandma-friendly, I cut the chili powder in half and the chili was still very flavorful. I will be making this dish again. — Lowfat Linda Mar 14, 2006

Herbed Spinach Balls

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Dancer^  

These are great! I reduced the melted butter by about half, using a bit more of the spinach liquid to make the balls moist enough to stick together. We munched on these before dinner and everyone (from my 2 y/o daughter to my 92 y/o grandfather... — Lowfat Linda Feb 8, 2006

My grandmother always made her Oatmeal Lace cookies every Christmas. The secret to getting the cookies off the pan successfully is to cook them on foil. Immediately after removing the pan from the oven, you slide the cookie-covered foil into the... — Lowfat Linda Dec 18, 2005

This dish is now our 'company chicken dinner' as it tastes so good and looks so nice. I like to serve steamed broccoli and carrots with this dish as it makes such a healthy and colorful meal. I omit the butter to reduce the fat, but otherwise... — Lowfat Linda Nov 30, 2005

I prepared a double recipe of this one for my family of seven. Everyone enjoyed the dish, although my mom thought that there was too much garlic (I happen to be a garlic fan, so it was okay for me) and not quite enough lemon. The chicken was... — Lowfat Linda Jul 13, 2005

This was a very easy and tasty way to prepare tilapia. I only used olive oil and didn't use nearly as much as suggested by the recipe, so this dish came out pretty low fat. Thanks for the suggestion to let the coating set before cooking. I... — Lowfat Linda Apr 26, 2005
