Steamed Broccoli Rabe

Posted by Ice Cool Kitty  

I can't leave a star rating, because it was my first time trying broccoli rabe, and I just don't think I like it. I skipped the olive oil, opting to use PAM instead; it SMELLED good, it LOOKED pretty, but it just tasted too bitter for me. Made... — brokenburner Nov 12, 2009

Italian Infused Broccoli

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chemaine  

This is a quick and simple recipe! I used a 10-oz package of frozen chopped broccoli, since it was in my freezer for no particular reason. An entire cup of lemon juice seemed like a lot, so I used 3/4 cup, and I'm glad I did; it was still a bit... — brokenburner Nov 6, 2009

Easy Chinese Steamed Tofu and Cabbage

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef #347506  

I wasn't actually sure I'd LIKE this, since I'm not a fan of raw tofu, and steamed tofu isn't too different... but I think it helped that I refrigerated it after steaming it, so the tofu developed a sort of chewy texture. The directions were a... — brokenburner Nov 6, 2009

Chicken Tandoori

Posted by kelly in TO  

I made this vegan by using Lightlife chick'n strips and soy yogurt. I used about 3 oz. of the strips and a tablespoon of the yogurt... I didn't really measure the seasonings, just eyeballed it to throw in a pinch of this and a dash of that! I... — brokenburner Oct 21, 2009

Eggplant Curry

Posted by Michelle (Chef #632056)  

Was this supposed to be incredibly hot and spicy?! I like things hot, but I could barely handle this one!! I skipped the oil, and used soy milk, Splenda, and vinegar. I didn't exceed the listed amount of red pepper, so I can't figure out why... — brokenburner Oct 5, 2009

Hot Mexican Okra

Posted by Darlene Summers  

This was my first time trying okra — ever — so I don't know whether it enhanced or diminished the flavor of the vegetable itself, but it was a nice light dish. I used frozen baby okra, and onion powder because I didn't have onion flakes, but... — brokenburner Oct 5, 2009

Bulgur and Pumpkin Pilaf

Posted by KLHquilts  

The last time I tried a bulgur / pumpkin combination, I was disappointed — even though I like both ingredients — so I was wary of trying this recipe. But I am so glad I did, because it was wonderful! I skipped the oil altogether and didn't... — brokenburner Oct 5, 2009

Barley-Rice Pilaf

Posted by Northern_Reflectionz  

This recipe was just ... okay. It wasn't HORRIBLE, but I guess it didn't work too well for me. I had to add a lot more water than called for, and the vegetables sort of "wilted" anyway. The flavor was rather flat, too, despite what I thought... — brokenburner Oct 5, 2009

Summer Berry Cornbread Pudding

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Rainbow*Bubbles  

Based on the previous review, I increased the liquid a bit; it was still a little dry, though. I also used closer to 1/3 cup Splenda, but it still wasn't really SWEET... it was a little bit bland. I used whole wheat flour, soy milk + vinegar for... — brokenburner Sep 23, 2009

Apple Rice Pilaf

Posted by AzMama17  

This was a pretty plain recipe; it was good, but it basically tasted like rice! It could use some more seasoning. I used brown rice and so had to increase the cooking time / liquid a bit. I used PAM instead of butter... and since the apple... — brokenburner Sep 23, 2009

Microwave Veggie Quiche With Brown Rice Crust

Posted by tbean1  

I liked the idea of this, but like the previous reviewer said, it was a bit bland. It smelled like the Italian herbs, but that flavor didn't come through very strongly. I used a bag of Steamfresh brown rice, and a teaspoon of dried parsley for... — brokenburner Sep 21, 2009

Healthy Chocolate Oatmeal/Porridge

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Rainbow*Bubbles  

This wasn't my first time making chocolate oatmeal, but I don't know why it didn't have much chocolate flavor this time around! I used a packet of Quaker Organic instant oatmeal, cocoa powder and Splenda granular. I used somewhere between 1/2... — brokenburner Sep 14, 2009

Milky Bread Comfort Food

Posted by Rainbow*Bubbles  

I used a slice of whole wheat bread, soy milk, and sugar-free pancake syrup. (I wonder how chocolate syrup would translate here?!) I sprinkled cinnamon over it, and also used less milk — about 1/2 cup — but I still think it was too much...... — brokenburner Sep 14, 2009

Karen's Chocolate Birthday Cake

Posted by staceymoreman  

For some reason, the batter clumped along the sides of the mixing bowl... even though I used an electric mixer! It doesn't seem to have affected the taste, though. I did use imitation extract, since that's all I had, and I skipped the butter... — brokenburner Sep 14, 2009

Waffle-Style French Toast

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

What a brilliant idea!! I scaled the recipe down and used three slices of whole wheat bread, one egg white, 1/4 cup soy milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon Splenda, and a dash of salt. It could have used more of the egg mixture, but that's... — brokenburner Sep 8, 2009

Lemon Jello Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Duane and Ginger Vanden Brink  

I had a package of lemon supreme cake mix that I needed to use up, so I replaced the lemon jello with unflavored. I also had an 8-oz. carton of soymilk that was about to expire, so I used that instead of the water, and cut back a bit on the oil.... — brokenburner Aug 25, 2009

Raspberry Chicken Salad

This was a lovely salad! Not being a fan of red lettuces, I just used romaine. I used vegetarian chicken strips, and skipped the celery. For the dressing, I used vanilla yogurt and Truvia instead of sugar; I wound up with far too much dressing... — brokenburner Jul 16, 2009

Non-Fat Miso Sauce

This was a pretty good sauce — I used barley miso, because I had an open container in my refrigerator, which is what spurred me to seek out miso recipes in the first place. I used red wine vinegar and Splenda. Overall, I thought this was VERY... — brokenburner Jul 14, 2009

Roasted Eggplant with Orange Miso Glaze

This recipe was in my cookbook for a LONG time, and I'm only sorry I didn't try it sooner! It was absolutely fabulous. I didn't use the oil — just sprayed the eggplant — and I used one tablespoon of water to one of orange juice. I had barley... — brokenburner Jul 12, 2009
