Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:42:26 -0400

I found this recipe on a pack of stampkoring and used Impala leg chops, deboned and cut in to blocks. You can try and use any meat to your liking. Im vegetarian so I cant tell how well it turns out, but my family loved it. I made half that recipe and there was enough for 4-5 people. you can alter spices to type of meat you choose. I used a tin of onion and tomatoes. -- posted by Chef 1278268 fitness

From EatingWell Magazine (2007), there may be as many versions of muesli as there are breakfast cereals, but this one's modeled after the original Swiss wake-you-up -- a combination of overnight-soaked grains, nuts, dried fruit and yogurt. Make it the night before and you'll have breakfast ready when you are. -- posted by FloridaNative

Veggie Green Drink

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:19:56 -0400

I came up with this one night after a long drive from New York to Philadelphia. All I had eaten were french fries, so I was desperate to get some greens into me fast! This drink took care of the craving right away. The stevia helps to blunt the harsh taste of the veggies. If you want to make it a soup, use less water and perhaps add some spices instead of the stevia. Also, the yogurt can easily be omitted if you are vegan or have dairy issues; just use less water, -- posted by Jainene

Easy Spinach Brunch Bake

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:50:44 -0400

This is a diabetic-friendly recipe that I want to make soon for my hubby. I like the fact that it can be mixed & refrigerated for 24hrs before baking. I think it would be good with the addition of some canned, sliced mushrooms. The best part is I usually have the ingredients on hand and it's simple to make. -- posted by Sweet PQ?

From Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook. Makes a very healthy meal that's delicious!

I usually freeze half of this recipe to feed my family of four again later. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Quinoa - Risotto Style 1

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:07:28 -0400

This is my own recipe. I like it, as it's a fast way to eat well and feel great... Quinoa, poblano peppers and parmesan ! Don't use kraft powder. Buy some real parmesan or, even better, Belgioioso 'American Grana' if you're in the USA -- by far one of the best "parmesan" style cheeses you can find in the states. The fact that they admit it's American, gets you over a psychological barrier, and it's just a great product. You'll become addicted...eat it with fruit : figs, mango, guava... -- posted by Asd;MRS-NYC

How to Brine a Ginormous Turkey

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:19:21 -0400

This is an easy overnight brine for your Big Bird or even a couple of smaller birds. The secret is your picnic cooler. Cook time is brine time. If you are brining a chicken reduce the brine time to 2 - 4 hours. I don't add spices to the brine at all since I don't want to mask the flavor of the bird. This works on any poultry. -- posted by Secret Agent

Almond Tahini Date Balls

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:55:41 -0400

Very Middle Eastern and very tasty. A somewhat sophisticated brunch treat if you will, and would also make awesome finger food for tea or a dinner party. Especially if it's one of those where the meal is light but hors d'oeuvres are heavy. And can you believe this awesome treat is healthy and vegan? I couldn't! For some ideas, try a mix of Chinese red dates (I used 100%) with traditional dates. Put in a dash of ground pistachio and/or cardamom, how about a teensy bit of honey? There's a lot more I plan on doing with that huge thing of almonds I bought at BJ's. Found on the internet somewhere, don't remember where. If this is your recipe or you know where it came from, just drop me a line so I can give credit where it is due. -- posted by the80srule

This is an adaption of the usual veal Schnitzel that makes it more affordable in my house. I think that it's just as good and it doesn't take all that long either. By all means use fresh herbs if you have them but I have to use dried because I can't grow them. -- posted by Annacia

Sugar Free Pumpkin Bars With Cream Cheese Frosting

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:46:10 -0400

Completely sugar free dessert! I've been experimenting with a sweetener called "Xylitol" that I buy online and will gradually post recipes with my successful results. I promise never to post a recipe that hasn't passed the "Kid Test". I have four kids who are very, very finicky eaters. My kids CAN tell that these aren't made from real sugar - mostly because I don't have real sugar in my house anymore. But they still love these. I have also served these to friends without anyone knowing they weren't "normal" pumpkin bars. I started looking for a sugar substitute when a dear friend had surgery and became completely intolerant to any processed sugar. Splenda doesn't agree with me and I always prefer 'natural' options when possible. Xylitol IS more expensive than sugar, so experimentation is frustrating sometimes. I hope you will enjoy my successes without having to endure the waste I've had. It has 40% less calories than sugar, 75% less carbs, and has a glycemic index of 7 (compared to sugar at 68 and corn syrup at 100) and my friend can enjoy sweets once again! The key to using this in place of sugar is to MELT the xylitol before adding it to the recipes. I just melt mine in my pyrex measuring bowl in the microwave. I have found it's very important to MELT the Xylitol but not BOIL or otherwise over-heat it, because it does alter it's consistency like sugar. If you heat it too long, when it cools, it becomes rock hard. (I'm still figuring out how to use this to my advantage in fudge and caramels - I'll post when I get a successful outcome.) This pumpkin bar recipe is an adaptation of one I have in an old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I also use only whole-wheat flour and try to skim some of the fat (though not all, in order to keep a nice degree of moistness). I buy my Xylitol online. Some bigger cities might have natural/health food stores that sell it in the store, but nothing near me. I pay about $25 per 5 pound bag, so shop around. For me and my family, the switch is worth it. -- posted by Bizy_Mum

Crock Pot or Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken White Bean Soup

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:51:37 -0400

Once again, more of a method than a strict recipe. Comfort food with a little kick to it. I was going to make chile and this is what evolved - we liked it even better. And don't let the dried beans throw you - put them on the stove first, bring to a boil, let sit, and assemble the other ingredients while they stand. The pre-cooking and draining removes the volatile sugars that cause gas. You may also soak the beans overnight, drain the water then add the beans to the slow cooker. -- posted by One Happy Woman

Chicken-Mushroom Crepe Filling

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 09:28:19 -0500

This recipe is from an old weight watchers cook book and though it has been a few years since I last made I will be doing tomorrow night as it is an easy tea and it can also be frozen to be used later. The original recipe uses 360 grams of cooked chicken but I usually use a small cooked chook bought from the deli. I have also upped the original recipe to feed 6, so I have 2 serves for freezing. I like recipe #35049 for the crepes but would omit the sugar for this recipe. -- posted by I'mPat

Mushroom Kebabs for the Grill

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:07:52 -0500

I tasted these first at a Saturday Farmers' Market at Stellenbosch (near Cape Town). The lady who sold them had several types of mushrooms on her skewers and grilled them over coals -- so use as many types of mushrooms as you can get -- or one type only, they'll still be good! Having enjoyed them once again at the Market, I imitated them, but I think my marinade is better than hers!! Quick and easy, and grill along with the meat. On hot coals or charcoal this takes only a few minutes -- do not try and get them to be soft, as they'll break up. Put them on with the meat, and turn them gently with tongs, as they shrink and can slide off the skewers easily. If they catch here and there, no matter. Delicious!! -- posted by Zurie

Gourmet Pearl Couscous Salad With Vegetables and Cashew Nuts and

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:06:48 -0500

Blu Gourmet Pearl Couscous (GI 52) now carries the GI Symbol. Unlike traditional couscous, pearl couscous which takes its name from its pearl-like shape and size is often described as a toasted pasta specialty. Like regular pasta, it is made from hard (durum) wheat and water. But instead of being dried, it is toasted in an open flame oven. It has a rich, nutty flavour and a chewy texture, with a smooth, almost buttery mouth feel. It makes a perfect side dish to meat, poultry, or fish instead of potatoes, rice, or traditional pastas or couscous. It cooks in around 10 minutes by the absorption method just like rice and you can also use it in a variety of dishes just like rice and other pastas. Product ambassador, chef Gabriel Gate, has developed a number of recipes using pearl couscous. Youll find it will serve around 10 people at a barbecue and is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Serves 6. -- posted by Kiwi Kathy

Roasted Winter Squash Soup

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:58:55 -0500

Pumpkin and winter squash are so nutritious & versatile. I just love them. Rich taste, full of beta carotene, filling but not fattening & inexpensive - gotta love these vegies! Used a Golden Butternut to make this soup last night. It was the first use of our version of Sherry Peppers (habaneros, cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, black peppercorns in dry sherry) - turned out mighty well. I subbed hot pepper & dry sherry into this recipe as Bermuda Sherry Pepper is hard to come by. The squash cooked down to a beautiful thick orange base that did not need pureeing - the carrot bits were soft too but added a bit of texture which was appealing. Keeps well for reheating in microwave without separating too. Posting at request of DN who wants the recipe after tasting. We served with hot fresh Recipe#118283 made with rosemary & sultanas. -- posted by Buster's friend

Pumpkin Ginger Muffins or Cupcakes

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:08:03 -0500

Use white flour if you prefer, but I think the wheat gives it great texture! I've also used vanilla yogurt and it adds a soft variation more for a dessert type muffin. Also try topping with cream cheese icing (check my recipe I posted!). Sometimes I even add a little cinnamon, ginger, etc or a mix of holiday spices to the icing. Use smaller muffin pans to make a nice snack for your meal or a quick breakfast. You can even freeze them! Try making a loaf cake as well. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

guilt-Free Ice Cream Wannabe

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:11:26 -0500

This delicious low-calorie dessert is a great way to satisfy your craving for a big bowl of chocolate ice cream without blowing your diet. The thickness of the Greek yogurt provides the creamy texture of ice cream for just a fraction of the calories. Also, by using frozen berries, the yogurt freezes as they are mixed in, giving the cool, frozen texture of real ice cream. The Fiber One cereal sprinkled on top provides a nice crunch and textural contrast - enjoy! -- posted by Chef #1453068
