Japanese Carrot-Ginger Salad Dressing

Tue, 19 May 2009 17:27:17 -0400

This is a fabulous "orange dressing" commonly found in Japanese restaurants. The recipe is from Ichiban, a San Diego sushi restaurant & it was written up in an old Gourmet Magazine (November 1994). Recipe makes about 4 1/4 cups dressing. -- posted by blucoat

Couscous Mix With Toasted Pine Nuts, Coconut Milk, Lime Juice

Sat, 23 May 2009 17:50:51 -0400

I purchase the mix and then cook with Coconut Milk, Lime Juice, a little Chicken Broth and top with butter after cooking. The consistency of cooked grits. You can eat hot or cold. This is for those who love cooking with coconut milk and curries. ( If you use dry couscous, you can also make this,toast the pine nuts, add dried white onion or fresh green onions with the tops, fine chopped mushrooms and cook this with a little chicken broth, then add the ingredients listed below. When boiling add couscous about 3/4 cup. From scratch takes about ten more minutes. You might have to add more salt, if chicken broth, chicken base has the salt in it.) I serve with fish or pork. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Cashew Herb Spread

Thu, 28 May 2009 23:25:54 -0400

This is an original recipe for a versatile spread that is great on sandwiches or smeared on a lettuce leaf for a quick veg wrap; equally easy to use as a dip for crackers and veg or thin down a bit and use as a "cream" accompaniment for baked tofu, fish, etc. Toss with pasta or rice for a fresh, protein rich, dairy free cream sauce. Would also be nice to dress potatoes for a potato salad... hmmm... the possibilities are endless! My version comes out light green and looks a lot like guacamole, tastes fresh and herby and has a creamy mouth feel. The miso and nutritional yeast add a nutty/cheesy depth that you notice but can't quite put your finger on... and the garlic adds a raw zip that is really nice if you like that kind of thing! I love, love, love that this is something I can make that has no added fats or oils. Hope you love it too! (12 servings = 2 Tbsp per serving) -- posted by rsarahl

Healthy Banana Peanut Butter Pudding/Topping

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:44:35 -0400

I had a tin of chickpeas that needed using up and decided to experiment, so I pureed them with banana, peanut butter, honey and cinnamon and they tasted great! They're nice on their own, or as a topping for oatmeal, ice cream, stewed fruits, or whatever you want. I like them with stewed rhubarb, for some reason the combination's amazing. Play about with it and see that you think! -- posted by Rainbow*Bubbles

Creamy Mango Parsley Green Smoothie

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:30:47 -0400

This green smoothie is like the dessert of green smoothies, haha. It is unbelievably creamy and delicious. And it leaves your mouth feeling so refreshed. Mangoes are really high in fiber and have lots of health benefits! I found a recipe similar to this in a book called Green For Life, but I altered it a tad. I find that people new to green smoothies might want to use a little less greens to start off, in order to get yourself acclimated to it. -- posted by Mimosas for Mr & Mrs

How To: Make Sunny Side up Eggs

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:38:49 -0400

After making perfect roasts, fish, rice, and pasta using the cook-off-of-heat method, I tried it on sunny side up eggs with perfect results every time. A lid is necessary for this recipe's method, and a clear lid is helpful. This is now my go-to snack when I want fast comfort food. After seeing fellow college dormmates make rubber sunny-side-up eggs, I figured posting my method on Zaar might be a good idea to spread the joy of lovely sunny side up eggs in all its runny-yolk glory. Always add salt only right before cooking or after cooking eggs, because salt will start the coagulation process prematurely. In the case of sunny side up eggs, the salt particles will cause the area it's touching to cook faster during the time in the pan, so it's best to leave the salt off until the egg is ready to be served. I love this draped over a slice of bread - simply heaven. -- posted by FuzzyKiwi

Sarah's Vegan Oatmeal Amazingness Cookies

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:29:43 -0400

This vegan chocolate chip oatmeal cookie eats more like a breakfast food than a cookie. If you are looking for a sweet desert cookie for kids, this recipe might not work. However, if you are trying to eat healthy, preserve the environment, and indulge in a little yumminess, then this is an excellent cookie to bake! (I personally like the cookies chilled.) I thank my friend, Sarah F., for giving me this fabulous recipe. NOTE: For the ease of posting, I listed an egg in the ingredients. Egg Replacer works perfectly well in this recipe and it is usually how I make. If you live near Trader Joe's, their orange flavored cranberries are perfect for this recipe. Also, you can substitute currants or dried berries for the raisins. -- posted by The Bad Cook

It's a great simple salad dressing and is wonderful on everything from avocados to sandwiches! I absolutely love it! Feel free to play around with the sugar/honey amounts. The original recipe calls for 1/4 cup of sugar. Sometimes I add an extra tablespoon or two, which comes to about 4 tablespoons total. -- posted by dimply dots

A nice summery twist on cornbread! I recently travelled across U.S.A. for the first time and became addicted to cornbread. Since coming back, I've been experimenting with different recipes, and this is one of my favourites. It's nice on its own, with custard for dessert or milk for breakfast.

Walnut Brownie Energy Bites

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:51:08 -0400

Found this recipe at deliviouslivingmag.com. I haven't tried it, but I've seen recipes like it and wanted to put it here for safe keeping. The brownie bites are super healthy and I think they should be super delicious too. These are essentially raw brownie bites. Here's what it says on the website about them "Decadent and rich, these are made with good-fat almonds and antioxidant-laden cacao and sweetened with fiber-rich Medjool dates. They provide whole-food nutrition, so enjoy as a snack or treat. These can be kept at room temperature for a couple of days or will keep for at least a week refrigerated. Ingredient tips: Bobs Red Mill makes almond meal (flour), but if you cant find it, just use whole raw almonds and process them into a powder using your food processor. Prep tip: Keep batter from sticking to your hands by lightly coating them with coconut oil, olive oil, or even water." -- posted by dimply dots

Traditional Minestrone Soup (Easy and Delicious)

I came up with this recipe after I couldn't find a minestrone recipe that I liked. This one is very simple and delicious, with ingredients that are easy to find. But the great thing about minestrone is that you can use whatever you have on hand. And because the main ingredients are vegetables and beans you can adjust the recipe to fit any dietary needs such as vegetarian or low-sodium. -- posted by JoeyV

BBQ Spice Rub

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:35:17 -0400

In the September 2009 Australian magazine 'super food ideas', where it features as a Father's Day BBQ Spice Rub, this recipe is described as "perfect for Dad to sprinkle over beef rump steak or other favourite BBQ meats before cooking." I'd hope that any dads worth spoiling won't be expected to BBQ for all and sundry on Father's Day but will be spoilt rotten! But for anyone BBQing at any time, this sounds yummy so I'm posting it here for safe-keeping. Personally, I'll be leaving out the dried chilli flakes. But do feel free to crank up the heat if that's your preference! My only change was to add the black pepper, but I'm in two minds about this as it's perhaps better to add this at the time. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Need a healthier alternative to regular ice cream that is easy to make? My family (including the meat and dairy lovers) loved this ice cream, and no one would have known that it didn't have milk or eggs! You can top it however you want, and experiment with the ingredients (we've made blackberry ice cream, strawberry ice cream, healthy chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, healthy or "fake" butterfinger ice cream), etc.! You can make blizzards (aka Frosty or shake) by briefly blending it a bit in a blender. This recipe is perfect for experimenting! -- posted by Glorify.Jehovah

I was inspired by other tasty fish dishes I have had that were based on mayonaise. One time I had to use only ingerdients I had on hand, so I came up with this. I have used this for fresh albacore, yellowtail, and dorado. It would work for any firm white fish. My 2 year old and 4 year old both ask for more every time. Don't fear the mayonaise. It keeps the fish moist and adds delicious richness without covering up the flavor of the fish. I haven't tried it on salmon, but I bet it would be good. -- posted by Chef #480631

Italian Hamburger Veggie Soup Like Olive Garden Soup

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:33:02 -0400

This recipe was one I came up through trial and error after eating at olive garden last year on my birthday. We don't eat out much and we love homemade soups. I also don't personally care much for canned soup. I had been looking for a new soup to try and after I liked the soup at olive garden so much I decided to give this a try. I personally used a 50/50 mix of ground beef and venison burger for this but use what ever you like. I also like to make my own stocks but I found the Progresso Beef broth works very well for this when I am time crunched. I have done this on the stove top but it works great in the crock pot too. I grow and preserve my own veggies and freeze some soup ready mixed veggies but you can just as easily buy mixed veggies if you wish. Canned works ok for stove top but turns to mush in the crock pot, use frozen for that. Don't feel intimidated by the long list of ingredients, this throws together in about 15-20min and in the crock pot its almost no effort at all. We serve it with a fresh salad and breadsticks so its just like the resteraunt soup, salad, and breadsticks special. I buy frozen breadsticks that are just brown and serve. -- posted by victoriansweets_cakencandy

Tangy, Zesty Oil and Vinegar Potato Salad

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:48:18 -0400

The best potato salad you've never had. For when your craving that certain ZING from vinegar...I don't like regular potato salad. I don't like sweet relish, eggs, or miracle whip in my potato salad. The sharp onion with the vinegar balances the soft potato texture. Inexpensive and college budget approved. For more of a bite, add two to three teaspoons of whole grain mustard along with the olive oil. Try this!!

Easy Vegetarian/Vegan Black Bean Soup

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:10:37 -0400

Hearty, yummy, and healthy! This is a really easy soup to make, it cooks really fast without many steps, and is very rich with black beans. Some fresh cilantro would make a nice replacement to the coriander but I usually don't have it on hand, so I used dry spices for everything but it came out great. I like my soups with a tad of salt, but you can omit the salt if you're watching your sodium intake or lower it/replace with something like SaltSense. It's very pleasant and mild, though you could probably put some Bayou Blast or red cayenne in the spice mixture if you want it hotter. Yields about 2-3 small servings. -- posted by the80srule

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

Whole Wheat Pancakes With Blueberry Compote

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:00:10 -0400

This is a refresh of a Wholeliving.com recipe. Martha Stewart's gang opts for low-fat buttermilk, but I never have that on hand so I trade in 2% milk or vanilla soymilk -- depending on what's in the fridge.The added wheat germ supplies some potassium and iron (it has more than any other food). I also add a teaspoon of cinnamon (because I love it) and cut the whole wheat flour with some all purpose flour so they don't taste too "nutty." To make the compote, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries -- up the lemon juice for more tartness and up the sugar for more sweetness. -- posted by Kristine at Recipezaar

Delicious Golden Mushroom Soup With Beef Broth Dairy Free

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 09:54:36 -0400

So many mushroom soups - so much milk & cream! Well not this one! This soup is warming and very tasty. It can be Kosher if you like. You can substitute 1/2 the olive oil with butter if you like. I used about 1/2 cup reconstituted dried exotic mushrooms for flavor too. -- posted by ChandraSoleil

Armenian Lentil Soup

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:05:38 -0400

From Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook. Makes a very healthy meal that's delicious! Spinach and tomatoes are added after the cooking is completed to keep their distinct green and red color, and give the soup eye appeal. I usually freeze half of this recipe to feed my family of four again later. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Green Herb Seasoned Salt

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:11:44 -0400

I like to use this when I reach for salt, So I lower my intake of salt and kick up the flavor of what I cook. I used home grown herbs that I dried whole. Leaves that are loosely packed into measuring cups. So if using store bought do take note the amounts of the whole herbs would be a lot less. I guesstimate my 2/3's. Great to season any game, roast beef or roast poultry. Season roast veggies, stuffing, rice or potatoes. How about a touch on your eggs. I do like heat but I kept it down in this using only peppercorns. You can add chili powder to really make it hot! -- posted by ~Rita~

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

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:10:15 -0500

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. Without honey, it's quite bland. Honey, I feel, is a better choice than sugar because it is antiseptic and is thought to help with allergies, from which my DH does suffer. -- posted by DonitaK

I saw this on Good Chef Bad Chef recently. I haven't made it, but love grains and middle eastern style salads, so I'm guessing I'll like this. I'm saving it here until I hunt down the freekeh to make it with. Freekeh is whole wheat harvested green. -- posted by JustJanS
