Spicy Coleslaw

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:23:01 -0400

This recipe was featured in our June/July 2009 newsletter and was sampled at our June 2009 Potluck Dinner. It was adapted from the recipe in Greens Glorious Greens! by Johnna Albi & Catherine Walthers www.Amazon.com/dp/0312141084. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sturdy, abundant and inexpensive, cabbage is a long-standing dietary staple throughout the world and is so widely cultivated and stores so well that it is available throughout the year. They belong to the Cruciferae family of vegetables along with kale, broccoli, collards and Brussels sprouts. Cabbage is very high in vitamins C and K, and a decent source of dietary fiber.

Sugar, Salt & Vinegar Red Tomatoes

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:38:01 -0400

I just reviewed a Sugar Glazed Fried Green Tomato recipe on Zaar and it reminded me of a recipe I use constantly during the summer and it is not posted. My mother stated it was Swedish and my father stated it was German or Bavarian. Very simple and the marinating juice can be used in soups, stews or vegetable pies. Note: You can use raw sugar also. These tomatoes can be added to a simple lettuce salad and no dressing is necessary or served separately with juice drained. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

To be clear, I wouldn't feed this to my toddler because of the fried aspect, but I loved them when I was little! -- posted by Lighty

Tropical Strawberry Delight Smoothie

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! This is really, really sweet and a little different. I wouldn't add extra sugar, there's already a lot of flavors going on and natural sugar. -- posted by the80srule

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! This is a vegan-ized classic and you can vary it by using 2/3 cup plain soymilk mixed with 1 tsp cocoa powder for a subtler chocolate flavor. It's also iceless for ease. -- posted by the80srule

Roasted Tofu With Pepper Sauce

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:55:50 -0400

Tip: For roasted tofu, the denser texture obtained from freezing it is best. To freeze, cut into minimum 1/4" thick slices; freeze in a single layer in an airtight container for up to one month. Thaw in refrigerator to use. The longer the tofu stays frozen, the denser it becomes. Make ahead: After completing step 2, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. -- posted by Cecily Parsley

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

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.) I found a visual version on you tube and since I couldn't find a recipe on www.recipezaar.com I thought I would add it to Zaar's collection. We all love this salad and my daughter can eat the whole serving (if I let her). I often double the recipe, so she can have extra greens, well it worked for Popeye The Sailor Man.

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~

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:32:32 -0400

Tortilla Soup

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:15:46 -0500

This recipe came from my high school Home Ec. class (which I took 19 years ago). I have never seen another tortilla soup like it. I describe this soup as having a taste somewhere between salsa, tomato soup, and spaghetti sauce. It is very simple to make. I use 2 cups of water and two chicken boullion cubes instead of a can of chicken broth. Also we like garlic so I usually use about 3 cloves of garlic. To make this soup vegetarian don't add the beef and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. -- posted by ~Sherry~

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~

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

I usually add ukranian sausage to this, but it also works well with leftover chicken or any type of sausage. It's also good without any meat as a vegetarian dish or as a side. -- posted by Lady Bathory

Rancheros Salsa!

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:13:26 -0500

This salsa, often used for Huevos Rancheros, can be used over chili rellenos, rice, meats, etc. It freezes exceptionally well. Consider making a double batch and storing half for later.

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

Sweet Braised Whole Scallions (Molly Stevens)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:55 -0500

This would be a fabulous, easy side dish for Thanksgiving. "As the scallions braise, the sweet anise flavor of the tarragon mingles with their oniony juices, giving the whole dish a candy-like sweetness. If you cant find fresh tarragon, or simply dont care for its taste, substitute fresh parsley or omit the herb altogether. The scallions will still taste delicious." Recipe is from "All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking" by Molly Stevens. -- posted by blucoat
