Mediterranean Corn Salad

Posted by JanuaryBride  

I really love bean salads, and this sure is a winner! I wished I could have found tomato basil flavor feta, but I could not so I added some sundried tomatoes (dry pack). I also had to substitute cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar for the red... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Nov 17, 2009

Very Quick Butter Chickpeas (Vegetarian Butter Chicken!)

Posted by Karen Elizabeth  

Chickpeas are my favorite beans. This was, indeed, easy to make. I never tried butter chicken, so I didn't know what to expect. I might agree with another reviewer and say that I'd prefer fresh tomato to tomato soup, but since this is supposed... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Nov 16, 2009

Avgolemono -- Egg-Lemon Soup (Greece)

Posted by Sydney Mike  

I'm a fan of this soup, and mine came out well. Note that if you use orzo, you should probably add it to the soup in the last few minutes of cooking, not for an entire 20 minutes. Because I didn't think of this, and because I have a fear of... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Nov 16, 2009

Lindas Creole Vinaigrette

Posted by Karen Elizabeth  

Excellent dressing. I used this vinaigrette for Cajun Rice Salad. Since I already had cajun spice mix (Cajun Spice Rub Mix Recipe), I used that. Also I used MUCH less oil to keep the calories down. Otherwise no changes. I think I'm going to add some of the... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Nov 10, 2009

Cajun Rice Salad

Posted by Karen Elizabeth  

Was this ever good! Ate the leftovers for breakfast. I used the recommended vinaigrette recipe, which was crucial to the taste. I made no changes to this recipe at all. — Kumquat the Cat's friend Nov 10, 2009

Greek Pasta Salad

Posted by Lalaloula  

This was absolutely terrific! I loved the dressing. Can't go wrong with dill and lemon. Of course there was no kefir available here, so I used a Greek yogurt. Instead of two tomatoes I used a pint of grape tomatoes which I cut in half. I also... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Nov 3, 2009

Southwestern Pasta & Cheese

Posted by Shelby Jo  

This had a deliciously smokey taste, even though I used a bacon substitute (because we are vegetarians). I used 1% milk and lowfat cheddar. I had some leftover cherry tomatoes, so I added them. The chipotle in adobo and cheddar cheese matched... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Oct 23, 2009

Roasted Butternut Squash and Spinach Salad

Posted by smellyvegetarian  

This was a fabulous autumn salad. It's good for you, tasted great and had a great mix of textures, both soft and crunchy. I found a gala apple but my store didn't have any radicchio so I just omitted it. I recommend using roasted sunflower... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Oct 20, 2009

Tomato Soup With Fines Herbes (Soupe a La Tomate Aux Fines Herbe

Posted by FloridaNative  

This was a great and unique tomato soup! I only had 1 1/2 pounds of tomatoes, and although I added extra tomato paste, it was not very tomato-ey but it was still excellent, due to the onions and herbs. My BF thought the texture was perfect. The... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Oct 8, 2009

2bleu's Vegetable Barley Soup

Posted by 2Bleu (Bird&Buddha)  

This is yummy! Barley in soup is great. Instead of the mushrooms I added tofu and ate this with bread as a vegetarian main meal. I had no problems finding pearl barley in the bulk foods section of the supermarket. I really liked that you could... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Sep 21, 2009

Potato Nachos

Posted by Starrynews  

MUCH better for you than nachos and pretty easy to make for a weeknight supper. My BF and I were really pleased with this, so I'd make it again in a snap. I served it with a salad. I doubled the beans, tomatoes, green onion and cheese blend but... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Sep 18, 2009

Healthy No Bake Cookies

Roasted Potatoes With Artichokes and Feta

Posted by 2hot2handle  

Very easy, and very, very good. Loved the thyme/artichoke combination a whole lot. I cut back a bit on the olive oil and used a sweet onion. I thought the dish was cooked quite well in the time alloted, though I might experiment with giving the... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Sep 14, 2009

Fiesta Corn Salad over Tomato

Posted by Starrynews  

This worked for me! Used soy based low fat mayo and low fat yogurt for the sour cream. Otherwise, no changes. Had to leave avocado off BF's plate because he doesn't like them. I really enjoyed this salad and would make it again. Very fresh,... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Sep 8, 2009

Broccoli Casserole (Jane and Michael Stern)

Posted by Brookelynne26  

This recipe reminded me of other strata recipes, but it used less liquid than most, I thought to very good effect. My low-fat adjustments were to use less butter and low-fat milk. I also added more broccoli, about 3 1/2 cups (12 ounces) of a... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Aug 31, 2009

Bailey's Irish Cream Fruit Dip

Okay, I substituted low fat Greek yogurt for the milk and vanilla pudding, and it made no difference whatsoever, except probably made it even more healthy. EVERYONE LOVED it. I took it (along with some fruit kebabs) to lunch with a bunch of old... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Aug 26, 2009

Reduced Fat Alfredo Sauce

Posted by JellyBean  

Since I am used to eating low fat, this seemed very rich to me and I was very full (admittedly I had a little more than 1 serving, maybe 1/3 the recipe or more, because I like a bigger sauce to pasta ratio). I also used 2% milk and 4 tablespoons... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Jul 30, 2009

Vietnamese Sandwiches

Since RecipeZaar featured this recipe in a no-cook option for summer, and because it looked good, I decided to try it and I wasn't in the least disappointed. Actually though, I did sear the tofu that I substituted for the chicken (since I'm a... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Jul 22, 2009

Ensalada Fresca (Fresh Salad)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by PaulaG  

I loved this version of this typically Italian recipe. The tarragon instead of basil was a nice touch, and the chipotle did not overpower it at all. I used 2% Greek yogurt, halved the recipe, and ate it all in one night (my BF wasn't there to... — Kumquat the Cat's friend Jul 15, 2009
