Peeled Tomatoes for Soups and Sauces ( a "how To")

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:45:44 -0500

Was surprised when I saw so many recipes for tomato soup calling for peeled tomatoes....but no instructions as how to peel them! If you try to peel a fresh tomato, you know it's a mess, that's why so many folks use canned tomatoes! Well, for the uninformed, here's how..............and a good-bye to canned! NOTE: for ease of printing this I am using 20 tomatoes as the guideline. -- posted by Happy Harry #2

Make Your Own Single-Serve Vanilla Yogurt

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:05:44 -0500

Although it lacks the portability of something like Yoplait, Dannon, Stoneyfield Farms, etc. it's a good alternative if you like a cup of yogurt with breakfast. Most are 6 oz instead of a full cup, so I decided to use that measurement instead. Except for when I can get them really cheap or need to carry them to school or work, I think I'll use this method to make vanilla yogurt from now on. No HFCS monkey business here! -- posted by the80srule

Pan Roasted Almond Brussels Sprouts

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:05:53 -0500

This was a side dish my mother taught me to make after she modified a recipe she'd found in a cookbook to suit our family's tastes. These get deliciously crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. So good I could eat them as the meal itself. NOTE: Try to choose sprouts that are all about the same size. Smaller sprouts work best. -- posted by kolleen1021

Healthy, Fast, and Delicious Macaroni and Cheese With Vegetables

I love macaroni and cheese. It's homey, comforting, delicious, and versatile.

Cabbage With Caraway

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:23:29 -0500

This is my mother's recipe - I don't know where she got it from. It is a great way to cook cabbage, which leaves it slightly crunchy and tasting delicious. Nothing like the awful boiled cabbage you remember from school! Cabbage is very good for you, as it contains anti-oxidants, vitamin C and all sorts of other things. Try this as a vegetable with chops or burgers and plain boiled potatoes. You can use leftover cabbage and potato to make Bubble and Squeak. -- posted by SarahEmmm

Kadhi Pakora / Pakoras

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:25:06 -0500

At the local Indian market, they have a small, vegetarian "cafeteria-style" lunch/dinner counter that we go to as often as we're able. One of my favorite dishes there is a yogurt curry with pakoras swimming in it. Pakoras are a snack made with, in this case, veggies dredged in a chickpea (besan) flour batter and then deep fried. I've been on the hunt for a good kadhi pakora recipe and found this keeper. Just don't use thick, Greek style yogurt like I did; you want more of a soupy consistency rather than what my photo shows. You can vary the veggies you use here. Try onion strips, spinach and even paneer, Indian cheese. Adapted from a recipe at http://www.indianfoodsite.com/. Enjoy! -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Ginger Fried Rice

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:05:05 -0500

This looked awfully good, simple, almost perfect! I made this last night and my BF and I were very pleased with the outcome. If possible, use leftover rice as fresh rice will be too moist. Leftover rice from Chinese takeout works well too. After making the dish the amount of garlic didn't seem excessive to me, but use your judgment. Courtesy of Mark Bittman, the minimalist, from today's version of the New York Times. I reduced the oil as it seemed excessive. Use 1/2 cup if you'd prefer. For a vegan dish, omit the eggs.

Stewed Vegetables (Flat Belly Diet)

This is delicious and healthy too! The only changes I made were to substitute the fresh basil with 1 T. dried sweet basil and to omit the salt. -- posted by Scrivener1

The Neely's Barbeque Seasoning

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:01:21 -0500

This is my take on the Neely's delicious bbq seasoning! From Down Home with the Neely's cookbook. The original recipe calls for white sugar, I added the optional garlic powder and black pepper. -- posted by Sharon123

Copycat Goya Vegetable Seasoning / Dry Rub

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:17:43 -0500

Instead of getting one of those packets loaded with MSG and ingredients I can't pronounce, I looked at the side of the box and the actual spices used were listed. I think this might be close enough but let me know if it needs tweaking to be like the original. Lowered the salt content for posterity. Would probably make a nice marinade when mixed with some olive oil and vinegar. -- posted by the80srule

Hearty Nut Bread (Abm)

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:04:18 -0500

I found this to be a light wheat bread, not sweet and not "yeasty". Very basic wheat bread. I have made it with walnuts and with pecans. . .both are good. See what you think! Recipe from the cookbook that came with my bread machine and I am supposed to put my ingredients in wet to dry. . . check your bread machine to make sure this is the order you are also supposed to follow (many do dry to wet). Recipe makes a 1 lb loaf -- posted by JanuaryBride
