This recipe is a mixture of a few. It's extremely versatile, choosing your own tastes from the veggies to the soup to the cream cheese. It's similar to other "cream chicken" recipes but I think this one has much more taste. Use any cut of chicken you like. Works well with turkey breasts! If you want to make the meal whole without any extra work, it also works great with sliced or chopped potatoes under the chicken. -- posted by Corilayn

Apple Pancakes With Syrup

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 23:18:01 -0400

This has been a favorite since my children were todders many years ago. I think the original recipe came from an add for B.C. apples but I have modified it several times over the years. The original recipe called for white flour, brown sugar, and peeled apples; but I now use whole wheat flour, have reduced the amount of sugar by substituting half of it with Splenda, and leave the peel on the apples. You could use any variety of apples but we like the tartness of Granny Smith. -- posted by Dr Phil fan

Mom's Savoury Beef Stew

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 19:31:36 -0400

Just the right dish for a cold day. This stew is very easy to make, but needs 4-5 hours cooking time. All of the measurements for the seasoning are approximate, and should be seasoned to taste. Only 400 calories and one serving is very filling. For a beefier flavour, try adding 2 little packets of beef oxo, and omitting 1/2 tsp salt. This stew freezes very well; when heating it after it has been frozen, add a little water and it will bring it right back to life. -- posted by Jen Clary

Pumpkin Muffins - Ibs Friendly

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 17:55:45 -0400

Living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome can really put a damper on your meals so I try to find interesting things to do as much as possible. These muffins have been adapted for the IBS diet, so think low fat! Original recipe was from www.helpforibs.com, I tweaked it just a bit. I used Demerera Sugar, but any brown sugar will do. Keep these muffins in the fridge or the freezer, the low fat content means they will go stale quite quickly. -- posted by TheMorningStar
