Martha's Shrimp, Tomato, and Basil Pasta

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:22:00 -0400

I got this recipe from Martha Stewart's Great Food Fast recipe book. I love this recipe! I do add cajun seasoning and extra garlic, which is not called for in the original recipe. I like to use Del Monte's basil, garlic, and oregano diced tomatoes. This is good with or without the fresh basil. This serves four, but in my boyfriend and my case, it only serves two. -- posted by Brenda83

Fresh Clam Chowder

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:13:01 -0400

I made this with littleneck clams I dug up myself in Long Island and it was the best chowder I've ever made. This is really easy and rivals what you'd get in a restaurant. All fresh ingredients and no flour. This contains no actual onion pieces which is good for those who dislike onions, but it still retains all the flavor. -- posted by Suzy_Q

Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:04:00 -0400

This recipe has only four common ingredients, is easy to double or triple, and makes a good meal for those who are on a diet. Even better, it's vegan! In my opinion the cookies taste best right out of the oven, so don't hesitate to serve immediately. (; The ingredient measurements are estimates, since I make this without measuring anything but the oats. If they aren't sweet enough, add your sweetener of choice. -- posted by Qzxyntop

Pink Pearl Barley Risotto With Feta Cheese

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:06:21 -0400

Found this gem of a recipe in a German cookbook named "Vegetarian Food For Every Season". Its a perfect fall dish with great colours and bold flavours. The beets make it a little bit sweet and earthy and the feta adds a nice salty touch. Instead of using all the different pinches of spices, you could also whip up a batch of this and use 1 ts of it in this recipe: Recipe #124269 -- posted by Lalaloula

Gluten-Free Creamy Breakfast Rice Pudding

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:18:25 -0400

This was something I came up with this morning, because I was tired of nut/seed granola and cold milk. It turned out delicious! For a lower sugar content, try using a packet of stevia in place of the agave nectar. You could also substitute almond milk or even water for the milk. -- posted by Jainene

Kiwi, Strawberry and Grape Juice.

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:51:44 -0400

I got this recipe from 'The top 100 juices' by Sarah Owen, published by Lifetime Distributors, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "All three fruits in this juice provide a massive infection-fighting boost of vitamin C and can help to shorten the duration of a cold. The kiwi fruit a also contain lutein, a phytonutrient known to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and eye disease. Both strawberries and grapes are high in ellagic acid, which neutralizes carcinogens. The tannins, flavones and active compounds in the grapes combine to make them energizing and strengthen the cell walls of blood vessels" You could make more than one serving, and serve with lemonade and ice in a punch bowl for a party if desired. I haven't made this yet, as I don't have a juicer, but if I ever get one, this will be the first juice that I make. Enjoy! :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Berry Yoghurt Smoothie

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:55:23 -0400

I got this recipe from Sarah Owen's book "The Top 100 juices", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "The super-nutrient vitamin C is needed for more than 300 diferent processes in the body, but it is easily wiped out by smoking, pollution and stress. Found in abundance in berries, vitamin C and other antioxidants help to quash the damaging free radicals that are associated with many illnesses." The original recipe calls for natural bio yoghurt to be used, but any yoghurt will do. This makes a large amount of smoothie, and if you're making it just for yourself, I'ld recommend halving it. I hope you enjoy this healthy - but still tasty - smoothie :) -- posted by TALIA #3

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

Organic Meal Replacement Shake (With Chia Seeds)

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:19:01 -0400

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to find a "healthy" commercial, meal replacement, that doesn't have artificial sweeteners and/or sugar alcohols (like Xylitol, Manitol, Stevia, etc), which give me migraines. I have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity), and must avoid ALL chemicals, so organic is a must, for me. Each time I find a shake, I think I can use and recommend to friends, I look closer, and find something in it that won't work. Add to that, the fact that they are all very expensive, and I finally decided to make my own. Here is the result of my search. -- posted by Devonviolet

Steve's Chocolate Protein Shake

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:56:58 -0400

I came up with this recipe to improve the taste and the consistency of the whey protein that I use. I use Optimum Nutrition Double Chocolate 100% Whey. Brand is important. Taste and cost vary greatly between brands! I setup a dozen or so small plastic containers that contain the dry ingredients ahead of time so I don't have to measure out the individual ingredients every day. -- posted by smajc

Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal (For One)

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:39:29 -0400

This is a tasty concoction I came up one morning. I can't tolerate too much oatmeal, so the pumpkin, flaxseed, pumpkin seed kernels, and nuts really fill out this dish. Substitute other nuts as you wish. Feel free to top with vanilla yogurt--I just like plain because of the flavor contrast. Also, you can use other spreads, but I've found that there's something truly delicious about the combination of pumpkin and apricot. Enjoy! -- posted by Jainene

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

Creamy Sherry and Cheese Sauce

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:47:03 -0400

Delicious with everything but usually we eat it stirred through pasta as a pasta sauce. Can also be drizzled over chicken or pork. It is really creamy and thick and the addition of the chopped onion, mushroom and pancetta makes it quite substantial and filling. The amount of sherry is an estimation as we never really measure it out but it is approx 50g. You can add more or less as you like. The cooking time is really quick but spend a little extra time on preparation to make sure the onion and mushrooms are really really finely chopped and sliced. This will serve 2 as a pasta sauce but many more as just a sauce to drizzle over meat, up to 5-6 people. The serving sizes here are based on two portions only. -- posted by .x. Lauren .x.

This is Chef floWers version of Spinach Gomae. It's a side dish I often ordered at my favourite Japanese restaurant (before it closed down.)

Chicken 65 Curry

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:23:38 -0400

This sticky, spicy chicken curry is deliciously sweet and packs just the right amount of heat. It is to be scooped up with warm, chewy naan, then licked off of fingers.Your first step is to hunt down some curry leaves. Their flavour is irreplaceable in this dish - a bit nutty, warm, and citrusy. Used a lot in South Indian cooking, they have nothing to do with curry powder which is a blend of spices.Start by browning the chicken in a heavy skillet - make sure the oil is good and hot and the chicken has been patted dry before you put it in the pan. Dont flip it until it releases easily - if it is sticking, leave it - it will tear if you try and turn it before it is ready. Next, cook the onions gently over low heat for about 10 minutes to coax out the sweetness. Then add the spices to the pan to saute before the liquid is added. These three steps have a big flavour impact. As far as curries go, the ingredient list is very short. Which makes it a great curry for beginners, if you can track down some curry leaves at an Indian grocer. Serve with naan http://www.recipezaar.com/Naan-56245 . -- posted by College Girl

Apricot-Walnut Oatmeal

My husband and I eat this every morning M-F. The oatmeal is low sodium, low sugar, high fiber. The apricots are high Vit A (beta carotene), the walnuts are high Vit E.

Fried Fish With Rice (Kuwaiti & Emratie)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:20:44 -0500

Fish with rice is often served in homes in the Arabian Gulf. Kuwaitis in particular love their Zubadi (Silver Pomfret) fish that is local to them but can be found in the frozen section of many Middle Eastern & Asian shops. (You may have to degut them yourself). While some prefer to eat them dry with rice, others like ourselves, make Recipe #387327 to serve as an accompaniment. This recipe is a very tasty combination from three sources which all deserve credit, Sa-mak ma-ga-lee - Fried Fish from From "The Complete United Arab Emirates Cookbook", by Celia Ann Brock- Al Ansari, Mtabag Simach from "Cardamom and Lime: Recipes from the Arabian Gulf", by Sarah Al-Hamad, and http://mimisrecipes.blogspot.com. -- posted by UmmBinat

Creamy Coconut and Rum Baked Pineapple

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:55:14 -0500

I came up with this as a solution to leftover coconut milk and a fresh pineapple. And even on Weight Watchers, it was worth saving points for this dessert. The whole recipe has a total of 8 points. The rum for this dessert should be golden- a light rum will not produce the same depth of flavour. Number of servings will depend on the size of pineapple used- increase the sauce if using a large pineapple. -- posted by Shuzbud

Kill Yeast- a Candida Killer That Works

This is to clean out your whole body - men and women. Also a drop oil of oregano mixed with a little amount of water may do wonders for your skin if it is yeast causing you redness or pimples on your body or face. Do not wash off, though it is slightly smelly. Make sure to use a natural moisturiser after. -- posted by UmmBinat

Vegan Potatoes

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:07:33 -0500

A simple recipe for people who are vegetarian and/or transitioning to vegan. Theres not a lot of vegan recipes on here, so I decided to post it. It's something simple that's a good thing to have for lunch or even as a side dish. It gives a lot of nutrients and you really cant taste them in with the potatoes, for those of you who are picky eaters like me. I left his really open, I put in peppers and mushrooms, but this recipe is very easy to turn into a "Clear Your Kitchen Of Unwanted Or About To Spoil Veggies" recipe. And it's good because it's healthy, filling, and uses no meat and or animal products. Enjoy. -- posted by Mariah Me

Eggplant Pizza

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:34:21 -0500

In a pathetic attempt to make eggplant parmigiana, I created this instead. It's very easy and uses basic ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. I've made it about a dozen times in the past few months and my husband loves it. It's a very flexible recipe and I've tried it a few different ways already and it always tastes great and surprisingly like pizza. Goes well with any pasta dish or risotto. -- posted by California Girl in Brazil

Eggs in Purgatorio

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:50:07 -0500

I'm grateful to andypandy for telling me about Eggs in Purgatory in answer to a community question about varying poached eggs. I checked out the various recipes and then adapted them to my needs and came up with this. Rather than an Italian style tomato sauce, it is more like a Latin salsa. The garlic and onions can either be done first in the skillet, adding a bit more oil to the skillet after that so as not to let the eggs stick,, or, if rushed then can use garlic powder and dried minced onions in the salsa/sauce. (Salsa just means 'sauce' in Spanish) I get a kick out of watching it cook because the edges of the egg look kind of ragged as the tomato sauce bubbles up and the pattern looks like flames,,, haha and thus the name of the dish. I'm not fussy about the exact amounts of ingrediants and many of you 'tweak' recipes anyway,, so please understand that the amounts are approximations,, and it also depends on how many eggs are being poached. The fry pan should be a size so that the number of eggs fits with just a little bit of space between and around the eggs and the sauce has some depth, so don't use a huge pan for two eggs. -- posted by Rainbow - Chef 536866
