I found this on a healthy lifestyle website somewhere and adapted it to our taste. They were very good and filling. I made a triple batch of the salsa and a double batch of the quesadillas, as the recipe is more of a snack or lunch size serving. The salsa was good on the quesadillas, but I think it could use some additional seasoning. I'll likely play around with it and update it here if I like the results. -- posted by Halcyon Eve

Vegan Blueberry Fiber Smoothie Shake

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:44:11 -0400

This blueberry fiber smoothie is extremely tasty, healthy, and easy to make. It is a bright purple color... so don't drink it on the go, because your mouth will be too! Note that the psyllium husk, flax oil, and ice cubes are optional. But the Psyllium husk adds fiber, the flax oil add essential fatty acids, and the ice makes the smoothie more creamy. -- posted by savannah veg.

Baked Potato Soup

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:49:24 -0400

This soup is satisfying without being heavy and leaving you in carb-coma. It is rich, creamy and filling. Serve with a nice salad and a glass of cold iced tea and you have a perfect meal that will not bust your diet! Occasionally, I have been known to sprinkle a few fat free croûtons on top for added texture and crunch. A great way to use up left over baked potatoes, or bake off a few extra the next time you bake potatoes and store them in the fridge up to 4 days in a sealed container. -- posted by Humble Bee

Grilled Blue Cheese Butter Burgers

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:14:59 -0400

For this recipe you will need Recipe #316743. I have been struggling with a way to make blue cheese burgers and not have the blue cheese fall out while I was stuffing the hamburger. I finally thought about making a compound butter and it works fabulously, not to mention the incredible flavor and moisture that is added to the meat. Doing it this way makes it very easy to assemble the burgers, as well as keeping the burgers from having 'blue cheese blow out' while cooking. You can make these on the stove top, broiler or on the BBQ grill. I strongly recommend the BBQ grill because the flavors are just incredible when a charcoal grill is used. -- posted by Humble Bee

Green Chili-Cheese Compound Butter

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:26:22 -0400

This is a fabulous compound butter for fish, corn bread or muffins, corn on the cob or just to slather across a slice of bread. This butter freezes well as long as it is protected from the beastly odors that live in your freezer. Make sure to wrap well in plastic wrap and place in a Ziploc freezer bag. Or place in a container with a tight fitting lid placing plastic wrap on top- in contact with the butter itself. -- posted by Humble Bee

I just happened across the original recipe while reading food related articles. This recipe makes 2 dozen, however, I freeze 1 1/2 dozen and take them out as needed.

I made a big pot of my chili and had a loaf of homemade sourdough bread leftover from the day before.

A wonderful spread, dip and as you'll find out, perfect for spreading on sourdough or French bread and heating under the broiler. -- posted by Humble Bee

Marked vegetarian because it tastes amazing even when you take out the Prosciutto. I LOVE THIS DISH. I have a series of recipes I got out of what I thought would be a useless magazine full of ho-hum recipes that I was given for free at the Check out stand at my local grocery store. The magazine is called "Dan's real food Spring 2008" Turns out, they are some of the best recipes I have ever come upon. This is one of those recipes. By the way, I made this one time on a camping trip inside a dutch oven and it just came out WONDERFULLY. Seriously, one of my favorite recipes ever. -- posted by alice Dave

Tuscan Tomato Bread Salad

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:11:13 -0400

I'm gathering the fresh tomato recipes as I have grown an unbelievable number of fantastic tomato varieties. Thanks to Sunset who got this recipe from Executive Chef Brandon Miller of Stokes Adobe Restaurant in Monterey, California. He uses at least two colors of tomatoes in this salad - no problemo! This recipe also makes use of summer greens, basils & peppers which we hope to have in abundance too! Better eaten the same day it is made. -- posted by Buster's friend

From Sunset who note - Brian Whitmer, chef at Moose's Restaurant in San Francisco, contributed this recipe. Garnish with yellow cherry tomatoes and sliced cucumbers, if desired. I'll be garnishing with whatever the garen is producing! -- posted by Buster's friend

Roasted Tomato Soup

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:47:24 -0400

Will be making this using the grill outside rather than heat up the house when I am awash in tomatoes. Will try both on the gas grill as well as the smoker (when cooking something else LOL). Found this in Sunset's recipe gallery. It is versatile - serve hot or cold - it is simple but I bet has wonderful flavor without being heavy (too miserably hot & humid here for rich food in the summer). Another alternative to our beloved gazpacho routine. Will experiment with fresh marjoram, basils, mint, thyme & peppers in this mix as well. -- posted by Buster's friend

Veggie Sandwiches A.k.a. Veggimiches

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:43:31 -0400

I used to make these all the time in southern Cali for my BF. Now that I've relocated to the far North, certain fresh ingredients are harder to come by, so I haven't been able to make this sandwich in ages. I'm not sure where the "m" stems from in "veggiemich," that's just what we ended up calling it. :) The reason for mixing the mustard and dressing prior to spreading on the bread is to avoid uneven spreading while keeping the calorie count down. Everything can of course be omitted or replaced to your taste; you can even make it Atkins-friendly by making a lettuce pocket and omitting the bread, hehe! We loved using a lot of pepper for a nice kick. You can make it a more filling meal with other additions, too! ^_^ -- posted by FuzzyKiwi

La Mill's Sweet Pea Soup

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:07:16 -0400

This pea soup from Silver Lake's LA Mill demonstrates how simplicity can let a wonderful vegetable make the meal. This recipe was in the LA Times' SOS olumn & published at the request of a very satisfied customer. Pea tendrils are most accessible if you grow your own peas (grow a good row it takes quite a few pods to fill 3 cups) but also can be had at a good Asian grocer. Another one for the brown bag. -- posted by Buster's friend
