Bring Me Your Head on a Platter! Cauliflower

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:56:25 -0400

OK just the Brain Food here! This is a take off of my Recipe #106251 using a different method to keep it looking like a brain for Halloween. Do take note all microwaves cook differently so take care when roasting not to over do. Oh by the way cauliflower is Brain food! A recent study done by McLean Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, suggests that taking a minimum of 500mg of citicoline supplements a day can help boost mental energy and efficacy. Citicoline, a natural substance found in all living cells, can also be ingested via cauliflowera source of choline, which is converted to citicoline in the brain! -- posted by ~Rita~

My Take on Sneaky Orange Puree

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:05:25 -0400

This is from the Sneaky Chef's recipe but I have added a little more to it. It's still orange! and so nutritious you will want to put it in almost everything! Try it in macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, throw it in with spaghettios! The options are endless. And have fun putting extra nutrition in your kids(and adults) food! :) -- posted by Sharon123

Smoke-Roasted Rustic Root Vegetables

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:17:23 -0400

If you like roasted vegetables in the oven, you'll love these! As an alternative method, you can also partially slow smoke vegetables, then transfer them indoors to your oven to finish roasting and crisping at a higher temperature. The smoke flavor from the grill really comes through. I usually add some large chunks of onion, and even some cloves of garlic are great too! Time does not include coals getting ready. Recipe adapted from Ardie A. Davis. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by Scoutie

Pumpkin Soymilk Smoothie

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:51:14 -0400

I had a can of pumpkin puree (leftover from #396754) to use up, so I whipped up -- or rather, blended -- this simple smoothie for breakfast. Increase the honey (or other alternative sweetener) if you want a sweeter flavor. Throw in more pumpkin spice if you want it, well, spicier. -- posted by Kristine at Recipezaar

Butternut Squash and Chicken Pasta

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:04:50 -0400

High-Octane Olive Salsa

Eggplant Hummus

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:01:59 -0500

I adapted this from a "hummus ghanoush" recipe from blog.fatfreevegan.com which has countless delicious and low-fat vegan recipes. This healthy dip is great with pita or vegetables (baby carrots, sliced bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, broccoli...). It's super easy to make but requires a blender or food processor. -- posted by Hanna Louise

Fried Cabbage Sans Bacon

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:11:10 -0500

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:23:45 -0500

These are quick and easy...the only time-consuming part is trimming the beans. These go great with any sort of grilled meats. I also like to make these on Thanksgiving because we're not fans of the traditional green bean casserole. The white pepper is my favorite part! -- posted by Robyn's Cookin'

Habanero Mango Hot Sauce

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:26:18 -0500

I blend fresh organic carrots, mango, onions, garlic, and a hint of lime juice with the Habanero. The result is a pepper sauce that harmonizes heat and flavor without the overpowering pungency found in traditional vinegar-based hot sauces. Creating a spicy but not overpowering sauce that allows you to spice your food without drowning out the original flavor. The capsaicin is not only hot on the tongue, it is brutal on the eyes or in cuts on your fingers. When preparing peppers you can wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and keep your hands clean. capsaicin has a way of staying on your hands even after washing. Safety glasses will help you avoid splashes or touching your eyes while cutting and cleaning peppers. The steam from boiling vinegar is very strong. Avoid breathing it. Cooking your hot sauce will help blend the flavors together, break down pieces of solid ingredients and pasteurize the sauce. It is an important step which should only be skipped if the sauce will be used up completely within 1 week. Bottles can be bought at http://www.leeners.com/index.html -- posted by ~Rita~

Twice-Baked Potato Casserole With Green Chiles

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:16:18 -0500

I created these to serve alongside grilled chipotle chicken breasts and a salad. Wouldn't be a bad addition to any meat dish. These taste more sinful than they actually are! I typically use either red or russet potatoes, though I imagine any type would be fine. This can also be made in the microwave for a pretty quick side dish. Since there's only two of us eating, I typically freeze half for another dinner. -- posted by Robyn's Cookin'

Vegetable-Brown Rice Stir-Fry

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:09:19 -0500

Found this in the magazine "The Best of Mr. Food 15-Minute Recipes". For a quick meal it is pretty good and quick to make. I did change it a little. I use regular brown rice, fresh minced garlic and ginger and chicken stock instead of bouillon and water. I have listed the ingredients from the magazine. You could add any cooked meat to make it a complete dinner. -- posted by mama smurf

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

Sweet Savory and Spicy Potato Salad

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:17:07 -0500

My friend Tricia made this for a cookout and I fell in love! It is the only potato salad I will make from now on. My husband never eats potato sald. He says "If there is meat around, why waste the time on side dishes?" He ate two HUGE servings of this......it is THAT good! If you cannot find candied jalapenos, just use one small fresh jalapeno (seeded and minced) and a tablespoon of sugar....it is just as good. We love curry, so we add more curry powder. Taste it and customize it to your taste! The long prep time is the passive time needed to chill the potatoes. -- posted by LizP

Sneaky Chef Green Juice

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:48:00 -0500

This can be used to boost nutritional value for lots of recipes! Use in chocolate pudding, milk shakes, green icings, casseroles, etc. Green juice is an extremely nutrient dense food. One tablespoon is equivalent to eating 1/4 cup of spinach leaves. It contains iron, calcium, and enzymes for digestion, as well as chlorophyll and carotens for disease fighting power. And just think, your kids, husband, guests, etc. won't even know! :) This recipe was gleaned from The Sneaky Chef cookbook by Missy Chase Lapine. -- posted by Sharon123

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:44:18 -0500

Carrots taste better with honey, so much so, that you won't even have to encourage the kids to "Eat your carrots, they're good for your eyes!" And, research shows that cooking carrots actually increases the antioxidant value in them. -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Great curry soup...moderate enough for even the less experimental eaters... Add some shrimp, crab, or lobster and make a hearty meal out of it! -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Cauliflower Steaks With Cauliflower Purée

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:40 -0500

Originally found on Epicurious, great easy recipe. Few ingredients, big payoff: Large "steaks" are cut from a head of cauliflower, sautéed until golden, then baked until tender. They're served over a simple puree made from the cauliflower florets. An impressive first course, this can also be a lovely side. Just sear two mahi-mahi fillets in butter and place them alongside the cauliflower. -- posted by jwith12

Four Pepper Stir-Fry

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:32:08 -0500

This is a very simple and quick dinner I made up one night with what was in the fridge. It is even tastier the next day! Feel free to add or subtract other ingredients if you like. (I used hot pepper infused olive oil for a bit of bite.) -- posted by Teasaidh

Spinach Mushroom and Artichoke Soup- Fast and Figure Friendly

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:41:20 -0500

This is something I whipped up last night in my attempt to eat healthier! This makes a soup that very thick with vegetables and leaves you feeling full and satisfied. If you want a soup that is thinner just add more broth. This would be a great soup for a brunch or dinner party as it can be completed and left to simmer until you are ready to serve. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Hobo Potatoes

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:00:06 -0500

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. This has a bit of a potato au gratin texture, but without the cheese. The edges are a little chewy. I love how easy this is to make and how filling it comes out. It is very good comfort food. The measurements are rough as I eyeball it. Adjust to your preference. -- posted by arualanne

Basic Tomato Sauce

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:54:39 -0500

This is the base sauce I make in large quantity and then freeze. I often add things to the defrosted portions before use, and I also use it in various dishes, like lasagna. I created it myself. spices can be varied to desired taste. I often swap the sage listed here for rosemary. -- posted by Khyricat

Baked Squash With Apples and Cranberries

The tart flavor of this cranberry-colored glaze perfectly balances the sweetness from any winter squash. If acorn squash is not your favorite, try butternut. -- posted by Annacia
