Coconut-Curry Chicken Fingers With Cashews

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:04:58 -0500

These are yummy healthy chicken fingers with a little crunch. Came out of a fitness magazine. Instead of layering on spinach leaves, I threw on top an Asian salad with some ginger honey dressing. I'll definitely make again. My only issue was with the coconut-cornflake-cashew mixture. I didn't have enough to coat all the chicken, so had to make more. But that was easy enough. -- posted by KT9791

Cabbage Sausage Oat Casserole

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:09:25 -0500

This recipe was inspired by some traditional cabbage roll recipes, but made in as few steps as I could manage with a toddler running around. Most of the cooking is passive. It's nearly all passive if you have your husband chop and open containers. I used a chicken fontina and spinach sausage, but I'm sure others like a spicy beef sausage would also be great. -- posted by MC Baker

Vegetarian Brown Rice Casserole

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:31:10 -0500

Vegetarian main dishes often require hours of chopping and cooking, and a laundry list of ingredients but not in this dish. This easy casserole turns a can of vegetarian lentil soup into a hearty casserole with the help of nutritious, ready-to-serve whole-grain brown rice, canned vegetables, and cheddar cheese. Because all of the ingredients go into the casserole already cooked (canned vegetables are simply cooked vegetables in a can), all they need is a few minutes in a microwave before they are delightfully done and ready to serve. -- posted by Chef #1365024

Wintertime soups and stews . . . nothing better! This recipe will give you a rib-sticking flavorful soup that everyone can tweak as much as desired to satisfy his or her own tastebuds. For those not partial to the taste of lima beans, be aware that this soup barely carries a hint of lima bean flavor, as the lima beans serve merely as the staple for this wonderful dish. This recipe makes a soup as thick or thin as you'd like. -- posted by Squire David

Creamy Leftover Chicken Surprise

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:24:34 -0500

I invented this recipe a long time ago and make it when I have leftover chicken. It's quick and made with simple ingredients. Feel free to make substitutions and experiment with it. Fresh or frozen broccoli. Cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom. Any type of cooked chicken will do, but I prefer breast. If the leftover chicken has been marinated or seasoned, it will be a bonus. Any type of small pasta. Cheeses are flexible as well. I often use a combination of whatever I have on hand. Just be sure its sliced or shredded so that it melts quickly.It's a great all in one meal to keep on the stove on nights when family members are coming and going at different times. -- posted by veggienut

Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca, Italian Style

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:00:41 -0500

I first was introduced to this recipe when I was reading the book, "Belong to Me", when the main character "would have sold her soul" for a plate of this. I had to do further research and hours later, found a recipe that I was happy with sharing. There are American versions of this and Italian versions of this. The Italian version has you begin by reducing the anchovies into a paste, reducing their fishy taste. It also has you cook the sauce longer, mingling the flavours and reducing the tomatoes into their own paste. Although excellent the 1st day, it is even better the second so plan ahead to make more! And please, RESIST the urge to cover this with cheese! Italians customarily do not use cheese in this dish; the cheese overwhelms the sauce and makes the anchovies more pronounced, unbalancing all the delicate flavours you just worked so hard to create. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Chorizo is a great partner for the sprouts! The spiciness of the chorizo and the earthiness of the brussels sprouts works wonderfully together. Adapted from Saveur. -- posted by Chez Loieur

Gramma's Chop Suey

Posting this for safekeeping. It's DH's grammas recipe, made for the first time last night. It's VERY americanized, and no way shape or form authentic chinese, but reminds DH of his childhood and his gramma, so I want to make it from time to time. Just wanted to keep safe for future use. -- posted by Megan's Mommy
