Healthy Italian Breakfast Wraps

Posted by yogiclarebear  

This was great. I didn't have any tortillas on hand, so I used a few chips instead. I made a few substitutions for what I had on hand---onion for shallot, turkey deli meat for turkey bacon and I left out the green peppers since I don't like... — La Gourmande Jan 1, 2008

Easy Mushroom Bread

Posted by Dancer^  

This bread was delicious! Hubby approved, too. I didn't have chives, so I did sub in diced onion and parsley. I also used low-fat cottage cheese and fresh mushrooms. We're having it with steaks, but it was also fabulous dipped in olive oil and... — La Gourmande Dec 31, 2007

Tilapia al Ajillo (garlic tilapia)

Posted by canarygirl  

Brilliant. My husband and I served this for my mother when she came into town. She was on a strict diet and couldn't eat dairy or grains or sugar or butter, etc, etc... but this she loved! I don't even like fish and this was divine. No fishy... — La Gourmande Sep 23, 2007

Black Bean Salad (Or Salsa)

Posted by gingerkitten D  

This was great, but my husband only gave it 3 stars, so I am overriding him. I added fresh zucchini and it was just right. Since the salad tastes good at room temp, it works as a tasty work lunch as well. Thanks. — La Gourmande Sep 16, 2007

Yangtze Chicken Skewers

Delicious. And you can sub in any other jelly, too. Peach or apricot work best, I think. I also prefer to add a bit of lemon juice instead of white wine. Yum! — La Gourmande Sep 1, 2007

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Cauliflower

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

I think I'll always put some cauliflower in my mashed potatoes. The texture is slightly lighter and the flavor difference is subtle. I even added a bit of broccoli and it was hardly noticeable. I also didn't use any butter or sour cream but added... — La Gourmande Aug 8, 2007

Stuffed Zucchini

Posted by Joy Boss  

We're always looking for healthy (but tasty) recipes and here's a new one that will live in our cookbook for a long time. I halved the amount of cream cheese to cut some of the fat and only sprinkled the parmesian on top after they came out, but... — La Gourmande Aug 8, 2007

Easy Soft Breadsticks

Posted by MizzNezz  

These were good, quick to make and didn't need too much butter. I did have trouble getting the full size breadsticks out of them. I only got 3/4 of the yield and they weren't that long. My husband and I both thought they tasted like biscuits, so... — La Gourmande Aug 8, 2007

Warm Pineapple Bread Pudding

Posted by Dancer^  

Dancer^, you never disappoint me! :] This was such a quick treat and it used up my homemade white bread which didn't taste quite as fresh anymore. I didn't have rum so I used some molasses and vanilla to add flavor. I also added a few walnuts. But... — La Gourmande Aug 1, 2007

Quick Gazpacho

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Stella Mae  

This was so easy to make and a great way to use up old lettuce. We tried it chunky and smooth but liked chunky best. Smooth has an odd green color so it's not good for picky eaters or guests, plus you lose so much of the fabulous texture. This... — La Gourmande Jul 31, 2007

Peach Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

I used fresh orange juice and brown sugar. I find that plain yogurt yields a better flavor than sour cream. I used sour cream when I was out of yogurt and hubby and I didn't like the sharp taste it lent it quite as much, though we still slirped it... — La Gourmande Jul 31, 2007

Sourdough Pizza Crust

Posted by Donna M.  

If I only could rate this higher than 5 stars. My husband and I are both indebted to you---this is the first pizza crust that has been "just right." Ah, pefect. Thanks so much for sharing! — La Gourmande Jul 27, 2007

Polish Pierogies (Potato Cheese)

Posted by Karen=^..^=  

Hubby gave this 3 stars because he liked it, but it wasn't his favorite. He said I should have baked them. The dough came out perfect, but it did take a long time to make them. Worth it though. I added zucchini to the filling for some veggie... — La Gourmande Jul 25, 2007

Sourdough Starter

Posted by KimmieOH  

Thanks for the clear instructions. (Some of us need them---I'd been using a metal bowl, oops.) We now can have sourdough bread, breadsticks, and pizza dough whenever we wish. Hubby and I both sincerely thank you. — La Gourmande Jul 23, 2007

Stove Top Macaroni 'n Cheese

Posted by Dancer^  

Delicious dinner. I admit I mixed it in a blender and then moved it to a stovepot because I'm too lazy to shred cheese. I also used skim milk and only 1 Tbsp butter. Never made stovetop macaroni without powdered cheese---now I plan to do it all... — La Gourmande Jul 22, 2007

Any Muffins Recipe

Posted by Tornado Ali  

Yum! I loved being able to play with a base recipe. I used olive oil and divided my batch into savory and sweet. The sweet had molasses, pumpkin, cinnamon, and walnuts. They were fabulous. [The savory ones were rather a flop (my fault entirely): I... — La Gourmande Jul 20, 2007

Mystery Rolls

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Charishma Ramchandani  

Pretty good. I'd read the suggestions about adding something, so I put in sun-dried tomatoes, parmesian, basil, and a pinch of salt. The flavor was fine and so was the ease of cooking, since this is so simple to make, but I admit the thickness... — La Gourmande Jul 20, 2007

Sourdough Whole Wheat Biscuits

Posted by PaulaG  

These were great. I always try to avoid using butter if possible, so I substituted in some mayonnaise and plain yogurt (a gamble, I know), but they still came out good. Perhaps more breadstick-like than biscuit-y, but no complaints here! Perfect... — La Gourmande Jul 20, 2007

Pumpkin Shake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Amber of AZ  

With my love for smoothies and my passion for pumpkin, how have I never thought of this? I froze the pumpkin to thicken it up some and added ice gradually. It was delicious! I actually went a tad bit over on the ice. I was trying to make something... — La Gourmande Jul 19, 2007

Garlic and Parmesan Sourdough Bread

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Donna M.  

Like others, I wish there were a rating higher than 5 stars. I found that only 3 cups of flour and a cup of milk was about right. I also substituted molasses for honey for a more distinct flavor. I made a "tear&share" like Jenny (great idea by the... — La Gourmande Jul 17, 2007
