Eggplant Moussaka (Healthy Version)

Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:16:16 -0500

This meatless recipe is from Vegetarian Times (Feb. 2000). It is much lighter than the typical moussaka as it calls for grilling the eggplant rather than frying it. This is a great recipe for garlic lovers! -- posted by blucoat

Wi Gal's Chicken Rice Stove Top Dish Made Healthier

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:44:34 -0500

From WiGal's recipe#266812. The salt substitute we use is called No Salt, which has no sodium at all. This was made for Make It Healthier Tag. Using homemade broth is usu. a better choice, because it is richer with more flavor and less salt. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Crock Pot Pork Chops

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 02:03:29 -0500

Tulum-Style Hand Held Burritos

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:55:10 -0500

A Mexican restaurant called Tulum near us fills its hungry college clientele with hearty, inexpensive and portable concoctions. My home-based version can be adapted to mood and handy ingredients. There's a wonderful variety of fully-cooked link sausages these days, from screamin' chorizo to spinach and feta to pedestrian old Cheddarwurst. Try bright fresh veggies or nuts for color and crunch, and play with cheese and dressing combinations. -- posted by HopeJohnJP

Amy's Chicken Divan Casserole

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:54:43 -0400

I love putting chicken divan together in one, simple and delicious casserole. The flavors are mildly distinct, yet maintain a fresh, light flavor. My mother always made this from scratch, and there's no other way to get that rich, full flavor. I make this more fiber/calorie-friendly by substituting white whole-wheat flour, fat-free and low sodium chicken broth, and fat-free half-and-half. Feel free to adjust the lemon juice, sherry or parmesan cheese to your liking. Serve with caesar or tossed salad. Enjoy! -- posted by Amy Dyke

One Skillet Mexican Chicken

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:21:41 -0400

This is my family's go-to meal when we want something quick and delicious. The best part of all is there is only one pan to clean. We use La Victoria Hot Salsa, but any salsa works great. You can eat this dish alone or put it in tortillas for burritos. -- posted by Little Everyday Things

Mother's Tomato Rice Pie

Thu, 29 May 2008 01:34:29 -0400

I don't know whose mother made this originally, but my family likes it. We usually substitute brown minute rice for the regular. Every bit of fiber helps! And you could use salsa instead of tomato sauce, if you like a spicier flavor. -- posted by Chef MB

Jamaican Beans and Rice

Sat, 31 May 2008 02:35:40 -0400

The idea for this recipe came from the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig. The way I make it these days, however, is not much like the recipe in the book :) This is a really tasty, very filling, "meal in a bowl" type recipe. It has all the creamy, starchy goodness of macaroni and cheese but with no dairy! Coconut milk provides vital medium chain fatty acids and beneficial saturated fats to your diet, as well as tasting absolutely delicious. 3 cups of liquid to 1 1/2 cups of rice will make a risotto like consistency. If you want a bit more sauce increase the liquid to 3 1/2 cups total. -- posted by Alyss05

Zesty Veggie Paella

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:20:31 -0400

5 Spice Beef & Rice

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 09:16:55 -0400

This recipe came from my husband's grandmother, and we modified it a little bit to make it gluten and dairy free. As a kid this was my husband's favorite meal, and he used to walk around singing a little song about it "5 Spice Beef and Rice, Cha Cha Cha!" The five spices are pepper, bay leaf, garlic, thyme and oregano. It's very easy to make, and a good dinner staple. -- posted by AllergyGirl

Mimi's Dirty Brown Rice

This is a variation of my "Mimi's Dirty Rice" recipe, using healthier brown or basmati long cooking rice. Takes a little longer, but still very delicious. Use as a stuffing in stuffed peppers, or serve with a green salad. We like this in stuffed peppers, with some jack cheese melted on top. -- posted by FloridaNative

Mango Chutney Chicken Salad

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 01:23:04 -0400

There are a few of these up, but this one is a little bit different - and there is no curry in it. It's actually a little bit healthy - and of course you can make alterations to make it even more so. I'm curious to know what this would taste like with chickpeas instead of chicken...DO use the brown rice. It will NOT be the same with white.I'm kind of guessing about the yield. It makes a lot, I know that! It's great with crackers or on a nice bed of greens. Cooking time does NOT include chilling (although I just ate some while it was still warm...still tastes great) -- posted by Georgiapea

Sweet & Spicy Beef

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:23:36 -0400

I prefer all-in-one meals, and this absolutely fits the bill. Drink it with a glass of milk and you've covered every food group. It's sweet, sour, and spicy all at the same time, and freezes well. It doesn't hurt that it's good for you. This makes four big servings. -- posted by mandalee65

Turkey Stew

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 00:33:24 -0400

Excellent use of leftover Thanksgiving turkey meat. Like many people, I have spent countless hours searching for unique and appealing ways to serve left-over turkey for the several days that followed our huge Thanskgiving feast. After trying several different soups and stews, my husband and I combined all the things we liked best about our favorite recipes and came up with this wonderful turkey stew recipe. It's our favorite, and the only turkey stew that we even eat anymore. -- posted by NorthwestGal

Rice and Honey Pork Chops

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 18:39:52 -0400

A fabulous dish I made one night. I am helping to take care of my grandmother and she has mentioned that she feels like she gets the same meals all the time so I decided to try something new. I reached for one of her old cookbooks (Pillsbury Kitchens' Cookbook, Copy. 1979) and found something to make with what I had available in the house, tweaking it a bit. The rice is divine with a tart but sweet flavor and the pork chops come out practically falling apart, I used boneless chops from the loin. I ommited the raisins and sherry but would welcome any feedback from those of you that decide to use them. -- posted by Sweets Princess

Chef-Boy-I-Be-Illinois' Seventies Spanish Rice

How many of us remember this dish our Mother's used to make? I have fond memories of it, but wanted to bring it into the 21st century with a couple twists on ingredients and make it healthier by using ground turkey rather than ground beef. I made this last night, and my partner thought it was so good that he took leftovers in for lunch today!

Sweet & Sour Chicken With Brown Rice

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 22:05:02 -0500

From Eating Well.Com. I got a wok for Christmas and can't wait to try some healthy stir frys. TIP: Ingredient note: Chicken tenders, virtually fat-free, are a strip of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of the chicken breast, but they can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded chicken fingers. A serving is equal to 1 1/2 cups stir fry and 1/2 cup brown rice. A serving is about 450 calories. -- posted by seesko

This spicy recipe tastes so good, it's hard to believe it's healthy. It's convenient as a one-pot meal, but a cooling side dish such as fresh sliced mango or a cucumber salad would be good too. I use red pepper flakes because I don't like the acidity of fresh; instructions are included for fresh red pepper if you prefer. You can also replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian meal. -- posted by Danya01

Laura's Easy Kitchen-Sink Rice Salad

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:39:22 -0400

This salad works for main meals, especially with the addition of cold chopped chicken and/or cheese. It's a fantastic potluck dish. Lastly, it's a diabetic friendly salad because the whole grain brown rice and other vegetables are very high in fiber. How it came about: I love salads, but I noticed a while ago that what I really loved was the stuff that dressed the salad. I also get very bored with lettuce, even my favorite, bronze or red leaf lettuce. I also wanted to make something that was a one-pot meal, not necessarily hot, reasonably high in protein, sustaining, and tasty. Lastly, I had been invited to a potluck dinner, had signed up to bring a salad, and had no lettuce available -- but I did have brown rice. Maybe that would work -- and it did! This is the one recipe I bring to potlucks that is always, always gone before I can go back for seconds, so I usually save a small bowl at home for myself. I hope you like it, too! I have made this successfully using regular brown rice, instant brown rice, quick brown rice, and brown rice blends that included wild rice and other grains. The great thing about the recipe is that it is completely forgiving -- you can adjust amounts, add and delete items, and change seasoning to your taste and whatever you have one hand -- as long as you always use brown rice as the base. -- posted by ohbother

Chicken Casserole for Dogs

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:15:37 -0400

This is a simple, yet nutritious meal for dogs and puppies that is easily digested and provides an excellent and natural source of antioxidants, essential vitamins and oils, fiber, proteins and carbohydrates. All the ingredients are recommended by vets as natural sources of nutrition, if prepared correctly, and can serve as one of many recipes in replacing store bought dog foods all-out. NOTE: For puppies, you should take extra care to steam the vegetables longer to make them as soft as possible and easier to digest. If you can see pieces of vegetables in your puppies stool then you should consider steaming your vegetables longer. I would recommend taking this precaution regardless of the dog's size or age. -- posted by Chef #1331983

Sausage, Corn and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:27:01 -0500

Slightly modified from here: http://catesworldkitchen.com/2009/08/corn-and-roasted-red-pepper-soup/ It thickens up considerably in the fridge overnight. Delicious and healthy. The recipe called for fresh corn, but all I could manage in the middle of fall was frozen. -- posted by Andrew Mollmann

10 in 10 Diet Cabbage Soup

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:57:46 -0500

This soup is vaguely a borscht, with a sweet & sour tang and a red-tinged broth. I've settled on tomato paste as cheap and the right tomato-iness for us. I used to freeze cubes of crushed tomatoes and use five or so in a batch of soup. One friend put garden-fresh tomatoes in. -- posted by 10in10Diet.com

Italian Sausage and Rice

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:42:46 -0500

I picked this up from the Stater Bros Menu Butler program. I only tried it once but with white rice and it turned out very mushy but tasty. -- posted by kimemeki

Tuna, Green Bean & Rice Casserole (Gf)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:01:17 -0500

This casserole is my husband's favorite. I like that it's a complete meal that's very easy to put together. It's loosley based on the recipe on the seasoned green beans can, but this version is gluten free. -- posted by Jamie B

Curried Rice With Turkey and Edamame

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:30:59 -0500

A good fusion home for leftover turkey, dried fruit & water chestnuts that is healthy & tastes great. Adapted from A Taste of Thai. They called for a package of their Yellow Curry Rice and I changed to use what we have on hand (big tub o' Mae Ploy yellow curry paste & brown rice LOL). That also includes substituting a handful of sultanas or fresh cranberries for the dried cranberries as needed. We have also added chopped lightly blanched bok choy to really make it a one dish meal. -- posted by Buster's friend

Rice Hotdish or Rice Casserole

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:39:02 -0500

An old recipe that my mother handed down to me. If you are from MN, casseroles are called "hotdish". This was served often at church get togethers. Use soy sauce as a condiment when eating. -- posted by Dissie

Black Beans and Rice With Veggies

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:47:35 -0500

This is a modification of a simpler recipe I found online - I used less beans and added celery, carrots, and tomatoes, plus a few other mods. I'm just posting it so I can get the nutritional values of this version, but if someone else wants to use it, enjoy! -- posted by Nell Gwyn

Guilt Free Stuffed Bell Peppers

My Italian Grandfather used to make stuffed Bell Peppers. Its hard for me to say but this recipe is better and healthier!!!!! -- posted by Fat Free Queen

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

Mommom Faiella's Italian Sausage Scallopini

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:10:45 -0500

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
