Super Nutritional Homemade Baby Cereal

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 14:29:13 -0500

This is from the Super Baby Food book; but I have mixed it up a bit to make it easier to do. It's probably as expensive as refined cereal, but has more jam-packed with nutrition and taste! Use organic ingredients when possible! Please don't feed this entire recipe to a 6-month old, and not at all to a child under 6 months. Go slowly, adding one extra ingredient each week, to make sure they aren't allergic. There is not enough iron in this cereal to satisfy a breastfed baby, so please talk to your pediatrician about drops. -- posted by Llamatron

Tofurkey Fried Rice

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:53:56 -0400

Veggie Burger

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:10:26 -0400

Like many vegetarians, I'm always searching for a delicious veggie burger. I recently had one at a restaurant, that made me start the search again. My husband and I were pretty sure that it included garbonzo flour, rice, sesame seeds, hickory and broccolli. I've been searching for another burger recipe with some of these ingredients and found this one. I'm not vegan, so I might add eggs for binding and switch ground up broccoli for the tomato paste. I'll probably fry them up in olive oil or grill them instead of baking them. It's from www.all-creatures.org, and below find the description from there. This recipe will make 12 thick veggie burgers. They are great when eaten fresh out of the oven or after being frozen and reheated. Freezing the veggie burgers is a great way to have quickie meals when the need arises. -- posted by Kendra PeloJoaquin

Easy Diet Feast

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 03:18:34 -0400

Note: I'm trying to tweak this. The calories are coming up WAY higher than they should (should be 400-500 depending on your salsa usage) This is something that I've worked up recently. The beans and rice should already be cooked. If I were to eat all of this at lunchtime, I would still feel full around dinner. You feel like you're stuffing yourself, but it's a modest amount of calories, low fat, low sodium (depends on the salsa), and an insane source of fiber. Very easy to throw together if you make larger batches of the beans and rice. I do NOT used canned beans because of the sodium. But if you use a pressure cooker, a whole bag of dry beans (not soaked) only takes 35-40 minutes to cook. I get the frozen pepper & onion mixture from Kroger. The salsa quantity is up to you, but you would save a few calories by reducing the amount (I like a lot). My preferences are Paul Newman's Pineapple or Sam's Choice Pineapple Peach Chipotle, because it adds a nice sweetness to the mixture -- posted by HRH Mom

Vegan Unrolled Cabbage Rolls

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:10:11 -0400

From Vegan Vittles by Joanne Stepaniak. This is a tasty, simple and hearty dish. I didn't have quick cooking brown rice and just used cooked brown rice instead- about a cup and a half- and it turned out just fine. I also doubled the tomato sauce because I wanted to use it up and it was delicious. You can definately play with this recipe. I may add some ground not meat next time. -- posted by VegSocialWorker

Savoury Chickpea Onion Biscuits

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:15:36 -0400

Gluten-free, sugar-free, corn-free, soy-free, vegan! I was on a crazy diet and sharing my food with friends who have allergies, so I developed these. The rice and chickpea combination makes a complete balance of essential amino acids, so it's good vegan food too. Oh, and they taste awesome. I like brown rice flour, but you could easily substitute white rice flour. I love onions, but you could use less or omit this ingredient entirely if you don't share my enthusiasm. Sometimes I also add garlic for good measure. They are best hot out of the oven, but do okay cooled. I've also tried freezing these with good luck - making a double-batch on the weekend and bagging them 2-3 at a time for use during the week. -- posted by wormwood

Although a vegetarian dish, this gets eaten with reckless abandon by carnivores. it sounds way too healthy (and it is) but dang! it is GOOD. try it. give about 45 minutes from start to finish.

This delicious rice dish, created by my son, goes great with many Asian inspired dishes. I especially like it with my recipe for Recipe #319003. You can cut the recipe in half for 2 people without any problems. I have made this for 2 people and use 1 tsp. chili paste. It is spicy, but not "Real Hot". This rice has lots of flavor!

Tofu Zucchini Patties

Thu, 15 Jan 2009 23:54:08 -0500

These tasty Tofu Zucchini Patties have been adapted from a recipe I found in The Australian Women's Weekly's 'The Health Cookbook'. When I've made them for friends, as a casual luncheon dish, they've always been popular - including with those more conservative diners who had never previously eaten tofu! I've suggested serving them specifically with Greek yoghurt - as that's what I generally use - but I've also served them with tzatziki. If you're looking for a recipe for tzatziki, it's hard to beat Ravenseyes' Recipe #306901 or Recipe #157176. BTW, Australian brown onions are what Americans call yellow onions. The original recipe specified "1 cup packaged breadcrumbs" which I've left in the posted recipe but when I've made these I have used processed fresh breadcrumbs. If you find it easier, you can also process the onion and garlic. I've made the herbs optional as you may prefer some other herb combinations, and if you like your food spicier, feel free to modify the recipe so that it best meets your taste preferences. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Best Brown Rice Meal

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 01:52:11 -0400

When I was a kid my dad came home form work one day and told my mom we weren't going to eat red meat anymore. This coming from a meat and potatoes type of guy was quite surprising to say the least. At that time my mom switched from white rice to brown as she feared we would need an extra nutrient boost. That change didn't make me to happy...brown rice was not at the top of my favorites list. So one day we jazzed it up a bit. Hope you like what we came up with. My family does. (Note: We eat this as a main dish, not a side that is why the serving size is more then a 1/2 cup) -- posted by Chef Buggsy Mate

Rice Stuffed Sunburst / Patty Pan Summer Squash

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 12:51:20 -0400

Recently they have been selling some pretty large patty pan squash at the farmers' market, much larger than the little baby ones you often see roasted or grilled. I didn't want to just cut them up like regular squash so I searched around and found quite a few recipes for stuffed versions, baked in the oven. Didn't find one with rice though. This started as a recipe on about.com, but morphed as I have made it a few times, into what it is now. This only makes 4 squash, but you could easily double. You could make this a very substantial main course for a vegetarian if you added some protein. Note that the amount of rice is actually more than you'll need, by about 1/3 of a cup, we all really like the rice though so it's nice to have extra. In fact we like the rice so much I have doubled up that part of the recipe and used it for another meal. All depending on what you're serving this with, you could easily adjust the flavours, (ie I'm thinking feta, lemon & marjoram to go with greek). This is a small enough side dish that I can cook it in my toaster oven. Next is to try it on the BBQ. Hope you like it! -- posted by magpie diner

Simple, easy and very inexpensive, this is better than the store bought stuff, in my opinion. Adapted from The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook to suit our tastes. -- posted by gruurly

Brown Rice Stuffed Zucchini

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:14:13 -0400

I couldn't find a recipe that was exactly what I was looking for, so I came up with this using ingredients on hand. Any leftover stuffing can be baked in a small casserole along side the stuffed zucchinis. Even my picky children liked the results. Next time I'll use more zucchinis. -- posted by MobaraMeg

Baked Mexican Brown Rice

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:47:54 -0400

Mexican rice that's vegan, lowfat, and made with healthier brown rice. Not too spicy so this would make a nice side to a variety of meals, not just Tex-Mex. Would be nice served with black beans. From www.wholefoodsmarket.com. -- posted by LonghornMama

Stuffed Tomatoes (Gemista, Improved)

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:07:56 -0400

Hand stuffed tomatoes are a Greek speciality and one of the most traditional Greek foods around. Especially this way is a little inproved with healthyer ingreedients and not losing on taste, in fact it tastes better. the optional veggies are a must, and I'd recomend you spread them chopped all over the pan. -- posted by Chef Nikko-san

Asian Peanuts and Rice

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:56:38 -0400

This recipe is something I made up when I accidentally purchased raw peanuts. It's quite healthy, and can be vegetarian/vegan if you skip the oyster sauce. You can change the vegetables if you like, or use any type of rice or even grain like quinoa. I prefer short grain brown rice for this dish. If you want to increase protein, add some firm tofu, or maybe even lentils. -- posted by Chef #1387539

Stuffed Grape Leaves

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:08:39 -0400

I didn't mark a "cuisine" for these, because they're a real Heinz 57! Dolmades are Middle Eastern/Greek, but these are my strange variation. Most people don't know, that you can pick your own grape leaves early in the spring, while they're tender, and just pickle them in water and vinegar - there's nothing special about the grape leaves you buy in the store. They reheat just fine in the microwave. -- posted by BritHans

Autumn Wild Rice

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:00:58 -0400

A beautiful chewy autumn side filled with a blend of wild, whole grain brown rices apples, onions and a kick from a jalapeno. I use Lundberg Rice blend, But if you can't find it go for brown rice of choice. Start the rice cooker before dicing the goodies. This would be a nice stuffing! -- posted by ~Rita~

Brown Basmati Rice Pancakes

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:31:30 -0400

These are a crispy, savory fried "pancake" which I serve with a yellow split pea soup. The original recipe came from a Consumer Reports Rice cookbook which I've liberally changed. I fry them on cast iron, because it holds the heat best. Whatever pan you use, make certain it's good and hot. -- posted by OliveLover

Brown Rice Tangi Salad

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:36:11 -0500

This is an easy to make family favourite given to me by my mother years ago. A delicious, high fibre way to include more brown rice in your diet. It improves on standing so if I'm wanting to take it to a BBQ or pot luck dinner, I'll make it the day before then chill it over night. The brown rice gives it a lovely nutty, chewy texture in a sweet sour dressing. Everyone will be coming back for more and want the recipe. Enjoy! -- posted by jodz

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

Imitation Meatloaf (Vegetarian)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:55:52 -0500

I found this recipe on allrecipes. com and I want to try it as I dislike ground meat and so I haven't had much luck with traditional meatloaf. I am hoping this turns out well and I am keeping it for future reference here. -- posted by arualanne

Pecan Rice Pilaf

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:12:04 -0500

It was just a normal December night and I was ravenous from spending a few hours writing a paper. I took a break for dinner and decided to eat at Risley Dining Hall. Cornell University Dining is known for their good food, and risley for their gourmet vegan food, but this was AMAZING! After eating this wonderful dish, I was in heaven, I had to ask for the recipe. The chef was very happy to give it to me. You HAVE to try it. -- posted by superblondieno2

Spiced Pilau Brown Rice

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:08:37 -0500

The turmeric adds a wonderful golden color to this healthy brown rice dish. The spices add lovely flavor and although you don't eat the leaves, cardamom pods or cinnamon stick, leaving them in makes the dish look very authentic and pretty. A Jamie Oliver recipe. -- posted by English_Rose

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
