Healthy Creamy Pesto Sauce

Sat, 04 Dec 2004 20:00:14 -0500

This is a recipe I make over and over--it's simple, fast, healthy, inexpensive and good for any season/occasion. I love creamy pesto sauces over pasta, but ya know those sauces ain't so healthy: high in fat, sodium, or both. Even those little packets of creamy pesto sauce in the "gravy" aisle aren't good for you. This sauce is better for you and even faster to make than one of those packets! You can adjust to taste or what you have on hand: I've used fat-free yoghurt, low fat yoghurt and (my favourite) homemade yoghurt--you can buy fresh at an Indian grocer. The recipe makes about a cup, which you can mix with cooked chicken or sauteed mushrooms (or both, like I do!) or steamed clams or steamed veggies and pour over enough cooked pasta for 2-4 people. I'll post other recipes with some of my favourite uses, but be creative! -- posted by bikerchick

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Sausage Casserole

Thu, 22 Dec 2005 18:06:11 -0500

Really you can add in anything you want to this, but I prefer sausage meat, frozen peas are also good to add in. Make certain to put a cookie sheet under the baking dish in case of spills, the casserole dish will be very full, or you can bake it in a larger casserole dish. This is delicious even made without the sausage meat added in, but for a main meal I suggest to add in the cooked sausage. You will love this! -- posted by KITTENCAL

Caesar Salad Sauce

I was hosting a baby shower one day, and one of the guests offered to bring a caesar salad. She forgot to bring the salad dressing! I didn't have any of the bottled stuff so I threw this together. I don't put any egg in the sauce itself, but I serve the salad with bacon bits and hard boiled, chopped up eggs on top. I also HATE anchovies. So you won't find any in here. If you like them, you will have to figure out on your own how much paste to use! -- posted by C & D's Mommy

I don't like mayonnaise-based salad dressings, but this is a nice, creamy dressing that uses yogurt instead.

Summer Time Easy Courgette - Zucchini Carpaccio

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:49:09 -0400

A delightful and very elegant summer starter dish that is fresh and easy to make. The combination of the parmesan cheese with the hazenut oil and black olives is a very sophisticated flavour, making this a wonderful dish to serve before any special summer dinner party. If you cannot get hold of hazelnut oil, walnut oil would be a good substitute. Green olives can also be used, but the colours will not be so dramatic! Try to use FRESHLY grated/shaved parmesan cheese from a block, the taste is far better than the pre-packed grated cheese. Wine suggestion - a chilled Chablis or Chardonnay. -- posted by French Tart

Traditional Caesar Dressing

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:04:21 -0400

I was searching forever for a caesar recipe that was true to the original. I found it difficult to find a recipe that didn't include something silly like mayonaise or yogurt. And then when i thought i did find one, they had to ruin it by adding anchovies! (contrary to popular belief, anchovies were not in the original caesar salad, that came years later). So i had to write my own recipe. After several attempts, this is what i came up with. I recommend not using a food processor, as it tends to put too much air into the eggs, i have better results with a bowl and a whisk -- posted by Chef Jaybo

Traditional Caprese Salad

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:40:14 -0400

Caprese salad is a great main dish (lunch) or appetizer for a summer dinner. It goes best with a white wine, and is amazing when preceding a light pasta dish. When using as a main dish for lunch, double up the portions. This is a recipe that has been handed down through the generations in my family as long as anyone can remember. My grandmother (peacefully rest her soul) recalled learning this recipe from her grandmother. She also told stories of her grandmother recalling learning it from her grandmother. This is a truly old-world Italian version of this recipe. Many of the versions that people know have been Americanized or have been updated in some way. As best I can tell, this recipe is about as traditional as it gets. -- posted by Obsidian468

This is a flavorful make-ahead salad which can also double as antipasto if you serve it with toothpicks. Serve the salad with a slotted spoon. This is very easy to put together yet is a crowd-pleaser. Notice that you make this the day before to allow flavors to marry. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ
