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

Old Fashioned Pickled Okra

Roasted Broccoli With Garlic and Red Pepper

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:11:47 -0400

This is quick and very addictive. The original recipe came from a magazine, I 'm not sure which one. It's probably from bon appetit. I have so many from that magazine that I've saved. I have tweaked it a little to suit my way of doing things. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Grilled Vegetables

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 19:55:06 -0400

This is a great side dish or can use as entree. Terrific folded in a tortilla, even cold. Have also put on sub rolls with cheese for a vegetarian entree. I often double since this has so many uses later in the week for meals. Have also made a cold pasta salad with these chopped or a hot pasta dish topped with parmesan and added cooked cubed chicken. Use your choice of vegetables (asparagus, green beans), but this is what I like. Serving size based on a side dish. -- posted by Vicki in CT

Three-Bean Salad With Quinoa

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:31:59 -0400

"Summer green beans are here! Perhaps other beans, too, so substitute any of the three beans with what you can get on sale or from your gardenor the neighbors. Canned garbanzos, pintos or black beans are fine, too, in this beautiful and delicious summer salad that works as a side dish or protein-filled vegetarian entrée."

Veggie Sandwiches A.k.a. Veggimiches

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:43:31 -0400

I used to make these all the time in southern Cali for my BF. Now that I've relocated to the far North, certain fresh ingredients are harder to come by, so I haven't been able to make this sandwich in ages. I'm not sure where the "m" stems from in "veggiemich," that's just what we ended up calling it. :) The reason for mixing the mustard and dressing prior to spreading on the bread is to avoid uneven spreading while keeping the calorie count down. Everything can of course be omitted or replaced to your taste; you can even make it Atkins-friendly by making a lettuce pocket and omitting the bread, hehe! We loved using a lot of pepper for a nice kick. You can make it a more filling meal with other additions, too! ^_^ -- posted by FuzzyKiwi

Peach and Cucumber Salsa

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:14:22 -0400

Low calorie, fat free vegan recipe from Whole Foods; it is highly rated on their website. They suggest serving it atop grilled fish but I think it would also be great with chicken or pork tenderloin. You can make it up to 4 hours ahead of serving, just keep it in the refrigerator. I think mango and a splash of OJ would be a great addition to this recipe as well! NOTE: I just made this recipe and I added the OJ for a touch of sweetness and added a couple drops of jalapeno sauce for more kick. I also didn't care for the mint, so I changed that to optional. . .the basil was nice I thought. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Cook's Illustrated Restaurant-Style Hummus

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:12:21 -0400

This is a smooth and silky hummus from those people on PBS who know how to test and create great recipes. They recommend Joyva or Krinos tahini and Pastene chickpeas (I used what I had on hand). Hummus can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 5 days. If you do not plan on serving it immediately, refrigerate the hummus and garnishes separately. When ready to serve, stir in approximately 1 tablespoon of warm water if the texture is too thick. Serving size is estimated. -- posted by AmyZoe

Sugar-Free Strawberry "shortcake" Dessert

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:29:58 -0400

This is sooooo easy and light - and YUMMY!! For the 4th, I added the layers of blueberries and blue Jello, but I usually just use strawberries. When I got this recipe, it called for regular cakes and Jello, but because there are some diabetics in my family, I tried using the sugar-free angel food cakes (Walmart) and Jello - no one can tell the difference. Everyone loves it and because it is so easy to do, it is one of my all-time favorites! The recipe as follows is for a 9 X 13 pan. -- posted by Eileen G.

Mexican Sangrita

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:44:16 -0400

A zingy way to use up the bounty of garden tomatoes and a traditional accompaniment to tequila. When you're ready for the fun, drink the tequila, follow with very cold sangrita, then lime. You can simplify the whole preparation by using canned juices, but the result won't be quite as good as when you use fresh tomatoes and fruits. Use any leftover sangrita as marinade for meat. Chilling time not included in preparation time. -- posted by Molly53

Sweet Lemon-Jicama Slaw (Ww)

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:15:53 -0400

This crunchy, refreshing, citrusy slaw features jicama, a Mexican root vegetable with a texture similar to a water chestnut. I love using jicama in slaw and salad recipes -- it adds additional fiber to the mix, and it picks up whatever flavors you're using, whether sweet or spicy. You can find jicamas in your grocery produce section, with the other 'exotic' vegetables or go to a specialty Hispanic market.

Banana Muffins, Diabetic and Delicious

I met this muffin on the Christine Cushing Live show and had to try it. For my money this is the ultimate banana muffin when it comes to the health aspect and just plain good taste. This can be made with some chopped nuts in place of the blueberries (or a small amount in addition to the berries).

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.

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

Use white flour if you prefer, but I think the wheat gives it great texture! Tweak the spices to your liking...I use 1 Tbs each because I like the spicier holiday flavour. Add allspice and/or other holiday spices... I've also used vanilla yogurt and it adds a soft variation more for a dessert type muffin. Also try topping with cream cheese icing (check my recipe I posted!). Sometimes I even add a little cinnamon, ginger, etc or a mix of holiday spices to the icing. Use smaller muffin pans to make a nice snack for your meal or a quick breakfast. You can even freeze them! Try making a loaf cake as well. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Light Lime Parfait

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:05:11 -0500

A diet dessert that won't derail your plan. Other flavours of jello can be used. I usually just let the jello set in the pyrex cup I mix it in, but you could let it set in a pan and cut it into cubes... Preparation time includes time for jello to set. -- posted by *Pixie*

Shrimp Imonelli - Low Carb & Low Fat

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:50:18 -0500

This is a reduction on calories and carbs for this superb recipe - it is challenging to find one that fits both mine and my husbands needs, however, this I believe fits the bill quite nicely! For it to be low carb, serve over grilled or baked portabello mushrooms. To keep low fat as is, serve over pasta. Bon Appetito! -- posted by Chef #1496457

Herb-Roasted Potatoes and Onions (Ww 3pts)

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 14:55:19 -0500

Source: Anne Lindsay's New Light Cooking According to this cookbook, this recipe has only 168 calories per serving without the optional ingredients which would come to 3 points per serving. My guess is that the small red potatoes in the cookbook are smaller than those used in Zaar's data base. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Cantaloupe and Blueberries With Fresh Strawberry Sauce

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 15:47:08 -0500

Source: Anne Lindsay's New Light Cooking This dessert is best made when fresh local berries are available. It looks especially pretty if you garnish each serving with a strawberry fan. To make the fans simply slice strawberry from tip almost but not completely through, then fan out slices. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Spinach Salad With Scallops and Apples

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:21:31 -0500

I couldn't find a good scallop and spinach salad recipe, so I googled around and this one came up. It's from a diabetic recipe site. We sautéed the scallops rather than broiling them, and added a dash of salt to the dressing. It turned out really well. -- posted by Chef Convivia

Crockpot Yogurt

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 00:27:20 -0500

Make your own yogurt at home in your crockpot! Cheaper than storebought, and healthier than the chemical-laden stuff on the shelves. Lasts 7-10 days in the refrigerator. It will be somewhat thinner than the commercial stuff; see note at the end. You can also thicken it with skim milk powder, I'm told, but have never tried it. -- posted by DrGaellon
