Pineapple and Passionfruit Jam

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:15:30 -0500

I just got a new juicer and my husband and I had been drinking alot of pineapple juice lately. Partly because he has alot of meat in his diet and pineapple juice is very alkalizing to the acidity in our body. Also, we had been posted to Thailand and pineapples here are so cheap and sweet here. It feels wasteful to throw away the pineapple pulp, and since the texture is excellant to make jam, i decided to make it for our yearly Christmas giveaways. I added passionfruit since I love the fragrance, and it turned out to be a perfect combination. I couldn't find any pectin, hence I had to make the jam the traditional way, slow-cooking it. -- posted by Clabibi

Uncooked Hemp and Flax Protein Bars

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:41:17 -0500

I improvised this, combining several recipes to accomidate the ingredients on hand, basically wanting something to do with a huge bag of hemp " powder I have. With the protein powder and the peanut butter figured into the nutritional info, the protein count is 4.8 grams and the calories are 143. Not a huge protein count, but hemp seed has other benefits: "Hempseed is considered by leading researchers and medical doctors to be one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet. Shelled hempseed is packed with 33 percent pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA" (from the Nutiva website) -- posted by Chef #1468143

Banana Apple Bread (From the Sweet Melissa Bakery)

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:56:49 -0500

This is an excellent, moist banana bread by itself but the addition of caramelized brown sugar apples make this truly outstanding. You can add nuts or currants. Be sure to use super-ripe bananas (the blacker the better). The banana bread keeps well wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze well wrapped in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for up to 3 weeks. Defrost (still wrapped) at room temperature. The recipe was printed in "The Sweet Melissa Baking Book: Recipes from the Beloved Bakery for Everyone's Favorite Treats" by Melissa Murphy. -- posted by blucoat

Blueberry Muffins à La Alton Brown (Good Eats on Food Net

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:46:08 -0500

We tried this recipe because I was craving having blueberry streusel scones (# 244646) again. However, I am trying to cut down on my saturated fat and cholesterol, so we looked for something to fill that baked goods craving without blowing my daily saturated fat limit, and Alton Brown is often a decent place to start. We used whole wheat pastry flour with some flax meal thrown in for good measure, frozen blueberries allowed to thaw slightly, and a silicon muffin tin. They were somehow dense and light at the same time, and had an interesting buttermilk note (we assume from the yogurt). Also, Alton says muffins are really more like pancakes than cupcakes! -- posted by Michelle from Central Time

Mrs. Kern's Date Balls

As a child, my parents traveled quite a bit and a retired couple (Mr. and Mrs. Kern) would stay with us kids.

Florida Keys-Style Citrus Chicken

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:24:07 -0500

My family loves citrus with chicken and this recipe not only uses the juice and zest of oranges, but lemons and limes as well. Chicken breast halves are browned in olive oil and butter, simmered in a citrus juice flavored with honey, fresh thyme, garlic, and ground ginger, and then topped with orange segments and chopped chives. The taste and aroma of this Florida Keys inspired citrus chicken dish will explode in mouth-watering delight. This flavorful citrus sauce works equally well with fish or pork. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Famous Fresh Blueberry Pie

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:47:59 -0500

I live in Florida and it is difficult to make a non-runny blueberry pie due to the humidity, but this recipe is perfect. I got this recipe through trial and error of 5 different published recipes. The filling is dense enough so that little loose liquid is present, but you still feel like you are biting into whole berries when you eat it. This fixed my problem of getting a pool of liquid in the bottom of my pie shell. I recommend using only fresh blueberries. Use a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Regarding the crust, the store-bought frozen crusts did not work properly for me. They either didn't bake on the bottom or resulted in an overflow of pie liquid into the bottom of my oven. I recommend the Pillsbury brand rolled pie crust dough found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store (by the biscuits/crescent rolls). These bake nicely, are easy to work with, and have an appropriate amount of moisture. Of greatest inspiration for the filling was from http://www.pickyourown.org/blueberrypie.php -- posted by MerryD

Creamy Quinoa Mousse

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 01:16:50 -0500

VERY healthy dessert or breakfast. This is the kind of recipe where you like it or you don't... if you do, you're in for a treat (there'd no guilt, it'ts even good for you!!!). The texture is slightly fibrous, due to the quinoa. Can be served warm or cold, l prefer mine partially frozen (I place them in individual cups, then freeze for an hour). Adjust spices to your taste. You can sub the milk for soymilk (if using vanilla flavoured, omit sugar and vanilla from ingredients). -- posted by Génial Génie

As a serious smoothie addict, I have done quite a bit of experimenting to make something both delicious and filling.

My favorite is Dannon Light and Fit banana yogurt and frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries). If you want to make this low-carb, look for SoySlender brand soy milk, as it only has 1g net carbs per serving. -- posted by The Casual Gourmet

I've gotten really into having smoothies for breakfast lately. They taste great and it helps me get in some great nutrients to start my day. This one contains a couple ingredients that will make you think "What??!!" Trust me on this one. The cottage cheese adds lots of protein and gives the smoothie a creamy texture. Spinach adds lots of vitamin A and you can't even taste it (really, I promise!). ___________________________________________ Recipezaar does not have light soy milk in their nutrition database and therefore, the nutrition data is incorrect. When I make this smoothie with Silk's light plain soy milk it has: 372 Calories, 6g Fat, 60g Carbs, 7g Fiber, 24g Protein, 1,082mg Potassium, 42% RDA Calcium, 25% RDA Magnesium, 44% RDA Vitamin A, 63% RDA Vitamin B-12, 33% RDA Vitamin B-6, 92% RDA Vitamin C, 30% RDA Vitamin D -- posted by muncheechee

This is an updated, healthier version of a recipe my Mother has been making for years. It can be found here: http://lobsterandfishsticks.com/ Its a wonderfully flavorful quick bread, made healthier with the reduction of sugar and the addition of whole grain flour. -- posted by ChefMamaBlogger

The perfect cross between a blond brownie and apple piemoist, yet hints of sweet cinnamon-y crunch from the sprinkling of cinnamon sugar on top. The recipe can be found here: http://lobsterandfishsticks.com/2009/10/01/apple-pie-blondies/ They were a real hit with my husband's co-workers! -- posted by ChefMamaBlogger

Mango Cake With Lemon Icing

What makes this cake so tastey is using pureed fresh mango. I don't advise using frozen or canned mango. This cake is incredibly moist! -- posted by breezermom

Easy Thai Green Curry

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:35:24 -0500

This is one of my favorite curry recipes. It is incredibly easy but tastes like it took hours to make. It's a great starter curry for anyone looking to venture into the world of curry cookery for the first time. This is a versatile recipe; I've made it with both chicken or red meat, so I leave the meat choice up to the chef. -- posted by SarahCKS

Fruit Pizza

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:20:16 -0500

Very appealing to the eye and even better; easy to make and fun to eat. A great way to celebrate fruit so have fun and mix and match. You can even have fun with the "crust," try using sugar cookie or even choc chip cookie dough instead of the pizza pie crust. No matter how you personalized this recipe it's sure to put a smile on everyones face! -- posted by Chef #1544785
