Nutritious Ice Cream Sandwich

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:48:27 -0500

A delicious and nutritious ice cream sandwich? I would have thought the concept was something you'd get when you had alien invaders or something similar.

Healthy Granola Bars

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:54:10 -0500

I was searching for a healthy granola bar recipe, one without butter and any added sugar. I came upon one called "grab-and-go breakfast bars", which I changed up to make this recipe. You can use any combination of nuts/fruits that you would like. I just used what sounded good to me, and it came out great! These granola bars have about 4g fiber and 4g protein in a serving, and make a great snack. -- posted by Chef #1360260

Received in email from Gourmet_recipes_from_around_the _world. the email notes it was adapted from Very Simple Food.

Veggie Nachos

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:21:08 -0500

These nachos are full of protein and fiber and look beautiful to boot. Take it easy on the cheese and make it low-fat. This recipe heats the chips so make use of the chips remaining in the bottom of various bags. My sister and I made this live on my podcast. It's vegetarian and easy and I was surprised there wasn't one like this on 'zaar. This version is fairly quick for two and can be made as spicy as you like by adding jalapenos or hot salsa. Enjoy! -- posted by VeggieVal

Cucumber Sandwiches Everyone Loves

I never follow recipe's.. so this was one that after a lot of taste testing, I stuck with. Everyone loves it!! It's a great appetizer for the holidays as it is so light & not filling. But I have made these for my kids for a summer brunch or lunch also. I have never tried a lower fat version because I despise fat free mayonnaise & cream cheese but let me know if you try something & it works. I have simplified it since my first 10 times making this recipe as well IT WILL SERVE 12-20 most will want 2nds, trust me :) Enjoy :O) -- posted by Amydee0074

Tasty little morsels from a collection of Paula Deen's recipes featured in the Nov 09 issue of Good Housekeeping. Cheese straws must have been the inspiration for Cheez-Its (which I happen to love).

Miniature Rosemary and Brie Bruschetta

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:29:29 -0500

A very simple, very delicious appetizer that is sure to please. Feel free to use either fresh or dried rosemary as both produce a wonderful flavor. This dish can be served as a stand-alone snack, or as a compliment to a main course. Believe it or not, this recipe came to me in a dream and every time I prepare it for friends and family they always ask for more! Give it a chance, I'm anxiously awaiting to hear how it turns out for you. -- posted by Sky Chef

Crab & Polenta Bruschetta

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 09:49:50 -0500

As you probably know, my family before-me loved polenta and they still do. So this recipe caught my attention, and then we bought the items and yesterday we made it! I loved it & the staff did too! :) Feel free to substitute ready-to-eat-polenta if you'd like. Slice it into rounds (as it looks like a round log) grill, and then top with crab salad. Actually - the whole recipe could all be store-bought-ready-to-eat! However, I doubt that it would taste as great IMHO! ;) CuisineAtHome, Issue #78, December 2009.Total cooking & prep time = 1 hr + chilling. -- posted by Manami

Southwest Salsa Rice Bites Appetizer

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:52:24 -0500

Although this recipe sounds like another one named similarly, it has different proportions so be aware they are different.This recipe is for a unique appetizer with a southwest kick. Fun to make and fun to eat. Very simple ingredients but delicious. These were eaten so fast and everyone wanted the recipe guest and family alike. The rice gives it unique texture. I use cheddar pepper jack so you can too if you have trouble finding just pepper jack. Further, I used Japanese sticky rice (not Uncle Bens or the the like) and Tostitos salsa but you can sub in your favorites. The sticky rice really binds it. Picture coming. Enjoy!

I found these online about 6 years ago and never posted them. What I like is that they are savory and a combination of both cheese and potato.The potato-cheese latkes prep time = 15 mins & frying time = 10 mins per batch. The apple-pear sauce prep time = 10 mins & cooking time = 20 mins. While there is nothing like the traditional applesauce and sour cream, here's this variation - easy to make and tastes great!!!!;) -- posted by Manami

Dalmatian Salted Anchovy Salad

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:06:18 -0500

This meal is very old, probably from Greek and Roman times 2000 years ago. We in Croatia are very lucky because we can buy salted anchovies from direct producers who make these salted anchovies the same way old Romans did. And I must say, these home made salted anchovies are much, much better than grocery-stores one. Beside anchovy we also salt srdela a.k.a. sardine. Srdela is heavier to eat, and more cleaning work. It is very salty meal and a person should not eat more than three salted anchovies per day (thats 6 fillets). This is how we prepare this meal in Dalmatia. -- posted by nitko

Iraqi Potato Cakes With Tuna Filling (Batata Charp)

These are crispy fried potato cakes with a tuna and light vegetable filling that is just delicious. DH liked them with the tuna added though it is not traditional. If you prefer you can leave the tuna out for the original vegetarian version. I serve them with a corn free ketchup and plain yogurt to dip them in, sour cream would be good too. The original recipe is from The Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos. -- posted by UmmBinat

Festive Tuna Salad

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:27:13 -0500

You could serve this as a 1st course for company; it is not your usual mayo/tuna salad. The addition of fresh mushrooms and green peas really does the trick. I usually make a lighter version where I will strain the whey out of some plain yoghurt in a sieve and use 1/3 strained yoghurt and 2/3 mayo. If using this method the yogurt must be drained really well. I add the peas when they are still frozen; they thaw quickly and I like them cold in the salad and they do not get mushy -- posted by Deantini

Smoked Salmon

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:05:52 -0500

This recipe takes time, but is well worth it. Use the freshest salmon you can find. It is best to cut the pieces of salmon all the same size so you get even brining and smoking. Great for canning as well. Note: You may add other flavors to the fish such as garlic powder, pepper, soy sauce etc. if you like. The recipe can easily be doubled. You can use your imagination and try other types of fish as well. Even small whole fish. -- posted by RobinAnn

Have kids who hate green peas? Well, everyone seems to have that problem! I randomly added cheese & butter to my green peas (despite being a lover of peas) and it tasted great! In fact, at the end of the day, I got more sick of the cheese than peas. Amount of cheese? One slice. (: This is even for the health-conscious...enjoy! For me, I can polish off the whole thing, but to be on the safe side serve this for two.

It's made with any type of cheese, or a mixture of leftover cheeses; with spinach or broccoli, or whatever is in the freezer. The vegetable soup mix has all the seasonings and adds nice spots of color, too. (Not sure if the Knorr soup is 1.25 oz, but I had to have a measurement or it couldn't print.) -- posted by Not So Good Cook

Salmon Gratin (Adapted from Julia Child)

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:51:41 -0500

This recipe can also be made with seafood. This is how I make it using canned salmon. The pastry crust is optional. Now that I am using almond milk (I like Almond Breeze), I will probably use that to replace the milk or cream. The cook time does not include baking time for the optional pastry shell. -- posted by coconutty

Onion Quiche or Gratin (Adapted from Julia Child)

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:26:50 -0500

I usually simplify Julia's recipes and omit some of the details, including using less fat, and they come out fabulous! I don't remember if I ever made this, but am posting it for safekeeping. For the quiche, use a pastry shell crust. For the gratin, omit the pastry crust. The cook time does not include time for baking the pastry shell. -- posted by coconutty

Chicken Salad

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:27:55 -0500

An easy throw together chicken salad that has the right amount of crunch from the fresh vegetables. Great for brunches, wedding/baby showers, or any picnic & get togethers. This salad goes great with Whole Wheat Ritz crackers or on toasted Rye bread! Chicken can be left chunky if preparer would prefer it that way. I feel the chicken stays better on the cracker/toasted bread if ground up a little bit. Can be served after chilling for a few hours or made a day ahead and chilled over night. -- posted by Mrs. Kristin

Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:56:07 -0500

Mmmmm...yummy breakfast or snack that has texture, flavor, and a healthy kick. A big thanks to Aunt Carolyn for the original recipe I modified this one from. These are the exact ingredients I used, thanks to a wonderful local bulk foods store. If you need to use more typical ingredients, I've tried to note potential alternatives. Don't omit the little bit of oil, though - it will dry them out. -- posted by This Mom Still Cooks

Smoked Salmon Soufflés

These were absolutely delicious,;) if I say so myself! We served these last Sunday for tea.(merienda) where we had some guests from New York, who were visiting their mom and were leaving the next day. They brought us the fixings for their mom to have a Jewish-type breakfast, since she was being transferred to another one of our homes, Hebrew Homes South. BBC GoodFood :) -- posted by Manami

Palm Springs Bagel

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:17:08 -0500

So my sister was raving about this "amazing" open faced bagel sandwich she had the other day at this cafe. I'm not the biggest avocado fan so I was a little skeptical when she started making one for me. I must say I gladly ate my words after one bite because this is SO DELICIOUS!!! It is seriously the perfect combination so please try it! -- posted by summerbreeze

Grits and Shrimp

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:40:32 -0500

I'm from ohio and I had never heard of grits and shrimp. But it sounded so good when a friend mentioned it to me that I had to investigate. After looking at several recipes, I decided to try to make my own version of this delicacy. I let my teenage son (Little Chef Berry) taste it and he begged me to make more after he devoured the remains. I think I might be on to a new favorite any time dish. -- posted by Chef Berry #1423656
