Ww Low Fat Taco Beef Skillet Dinner

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:16:03 -0500

Since starting Weight Watchers, I have missed the flavour of Mexican foods. But with calorie-filled toppings and wraps, they're not always diet-friendly. So I came up with this meal- it has the flavours of Mexican food without the majority of the calories and if you have extra points, you can even add a little guacamole or sour cream on top! It's worth using fresh salsa, not the jarred stuff for this recipe- it adds a lovely fresh bright flavour. Using extra lean beef, this recipe has a total of 19 Weight Watchers points by British points calculations. -- posted by Shuzbud

Pasta With Smothered Onion Sauce (Marcella Hazan)

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:36:33 -0500

This is an easy, delicious, and simple recipe from "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" by Marcella Hazan. You just mix all the ingredients on the stove and come back and hour later. The onions get meltingly soft and sweet. It'salso great with some crumbled blue cheese. If you use homemade pasta, which is more absorbent than spaghetti, you should start with 1 tbsp more butter when making the sauce. TO MAKE AHEAD : You can cook the sauce entirely in advance up to the point where you add the parsley. When you are nearly ready to toss with the pasta, reheat the sauce over medium heat and add the parsley just before draining the pasta. -- posted by blucoat

This is an easy meal with ingredients you likely may have in the pantry paired with meat and fresh onions. This is a kid guarantee. In our house it is perfect on sports nights or when work goes late.

Perciatelli All'amatricianna

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:32:51 -0500

Light, fresh tasting, simple, and really GOOD. Reminds me of a wonderful dish I had in Sicily (the name escapes me because of a rapidly advancing case of CRS). Got this recipe from Redbook Magazine. Please go to the trouble of finding both types of canned tomato. It makes a difference in the result. We have served this at dinner parties, and it is always a smash hit. -- posted by MTDavids

Felix's Ground Turkey and Rotini Casserole

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:50:24 -0500

This can easily be adapted to whatever you happen to have in the house, since that's how I made it up tonight for dinner. I'm sure it would also work with ground beef (omit the olive oil). Most people will probably have to add some salt, but we've been on a low sodium diet for so long that what came in the canned goods was more than plenty for us. You could easily spice this up by using your favourite hot sauce or some Cajun seasoning in place of the chili powder (or in addition to it). -- posted by Felix4067

This was one of those left-over improvs that turned up just perfect it got good feedback from my mum and my bro (a major good-review as he's hard to please with greens). Campbells soup along with some Chilli-cheese makes brilliant pasta sauce. Combined with some healthy greens and smoked sausage it makes an original tasting meal in pretty quick and easy fashion, the numerous ingredients are flexible so fire away.

This is one of my all time favorite Pampered Chef recipes. It is out of their Celebrate cookbook...of course I altered it some but it's still close to the original.

This casserole is an American pasta dish that includes a cream sauce, mushrooms, and either chicken, turkey, you can use seafood.

Beef & Pork Ragu Lasagne (Lasagna) from Fine Cooking

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 18:42:56 -0500

This is a PHENOMENAL recipe from Fine Cooking. I have made it for company and everyone raves over it. It's labor intensive but SO worth it. It either makes one huge pan or two smaller ones. I have found that making the ragu the night before makes the preparation a lot easier. Two minor substitutions I have made: (1) I use the already prepared ground chuck and ground pork from the meat section of my grocery store. (2) I have always used either regular dried lasagna noodles or no-boil noodles. -- posted by CFRP

This recipe is from a local Thai cooking class I took. The instructor tried to adapt the traditional recipe to use locally-available ingredients.

Penne Bombay

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 08:56:25 -0500

This is out of the 2004 edition of KCTS Chef's cookbook. It was sent in by Antonio Mauro the executive chef from Anton's Pasta Bar in Burnaby BC. The original recipe called for 20 oz of pasta for 2 servings. No wonder the portions are so big at restaurants. I change it to 8 oz and decreased the half-half also to 8 oz. it was 18 oz. Hope this works. -- posted by TeresaS

Chicken Cacciatore

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 11:35:03 -0500

This is out of the 2002 edition of KCTS Chefs cookbook. It was sent in by Executive Chef Chris Tess from Mama Stortini's Ristorante Restaurant. I decided to make this a 2 serving dish instead of 1 based on the calorie and fat count along with the huge restaurant amounts that are normally served. My only change was cutting the 8 oz chicken breast into 2-4 oz size. The rest of the ingredients stayed the same. -- posted by TeresaS

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

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

Mommom Faiella's Italian Sausage Scallopini

The aroma of the herbs and mushrooms cooking on the stove will be very pleasant to your senses. This is almost straight out of my grandmother's recipe book. The only changes my mother made to this recipe were to substitute canned mushrooms with fresh mushrooms and to add a bit more seasonings. -- posted by The Foodgitive

Mother's Always Right Stuffed Peppers

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:20:14 -0500

Be warned, listen to my mother- when she says to be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart, it means be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart. I broke 2 out of 3 peppers because of my lack of direction following. I had to use the broken peppers and cut them in half, laying the filling on the top. -- posted by The Foodgitive

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
