Mac N' Cheese (Ww)

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:32:53 -0400

We enjoyed this mac n' cheese -- but I really like that it is prepared in individual serving dishes so I don't over estimate or under estimate my serving -- that way I know I only had 5 pts worth of mac n' cheese! Recipe source: Weight Watchers Magazine -- posted by ellie_

From Reader's Digest "One Dish Meals" cookbook, this yummy dish is a thin potato crust filled with sausage, cheese, red pepper and zucchini. We typically use the kielbasa option (cut into discs) with mozzarella cheese and red potatoes. It never lasts long! -- posted by 4Jacksons

Tex-Mex Pasta Bake

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:35:17 -0400

This is a really good quick meal -- great for weeknight family dinners. You'll probably want to experiment with how much Tabasco to use. I suggest going easy at first. No need to have the whole family in tears on the first go. :) -- posted by Cluich

Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole

I put this together using ingredients I had on hand. I served it with green beans with almonds and crescent rolls. My family thoroughly enjoyed it. You can use cooked chicken from a previous meal if you have some on hand, but this was a day before grocery day. -- posted by SmoochTheCook

Sausage Tetrazzini

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:48:25 -0400

I found this recipe years ago in a magazine, and so glad we did, it is a family favorite. We had to tweak it some due to allergies, you may enjoy original which called for 1/2 lb of fresh mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken. We also really like the cheese on/in it, you can use less if you aren't cheese nuts like us! -- posted by ~*Kisha*~

End of Summer Stew

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:09:03 -0400

Garden fresh vegetables and herbs, with an option for the carnivore in your life, lightly sauteed, briefly stewed, and full of summery flavor! This recipe was inspired by the movie, "Julie and Julia." I am a vegetarian that can not have dairy, so I was forced to find an alternative to Julia Childs' amazing french cooking demonstrated in the movie. -- posted by Chef #713330

Healthy Lasagna

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:43:38 -0400

Clock full of winter veggies and cheese -- a healthier version to a family favorite! This can also be made a day ahead -- just put in the fridge and add 10-15 minutes to baking time when ready to cook! If you freeze the unbaked lasagna (can keep in the freezer for up to one month) - add 1 1/4 hours to baking time if cooked while still frozen -- an emergency meal life safer!

Layered Cabbage Casserole

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:37:49 -0400

This recipe is almost like cabbage rolls without the work. It serves 8 to 10 so is great for entertaining and, even better, can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. In fact, the flavour improves when reheated! The recipe comes from a 1983 Canadian Living publication called Everyday Cookbook Special. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Vegetarian Tamale Pie

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:07:58 -0400

I combined two recipes for this and made modifications to make it vegan. Note that Morningstar Farms recently changed their product to include egg and dairy, so read the label before buying (not all stores carry the brand new bags, Boca is my second choice). Don't be scared off by the vegetarian/vegan label if that's not your dietary preference, this dish is a traditional comfort food. The best part is it's an all-in-one meal, you don't have to serve side dishes (although a dark green salad with a light dressing would go well too). Note that the photo to the side (from me in the baking dish) is the recipe cut in half. -- posted by danakscully64

Chicken Salad Casserole Baked Up

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:48:21 -0400

For all those fans of my Chicken Pot Pie recipe....you'll live this one too! The real name of the recipe is Hot Chicken Salad. I got this recipe from a book called The Complete Guide to Country Cooking. I have been asked about this recipe so often and about what's in it that we call it the " What's In It " casserole! This is a great potluck addition or light luncheon and can be assembled 24 hours in advance. I hope you enjoy this wonderfully light and comforting meal/side. I like to double my recipe (still using the 9x13 dish) and use it for a few days. -- posted by Amy Duchesne

Pork Sausage and Egg Casserole

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:29:49 -0400

This is an easy to prepare, tasty dish using simple ingredients...my family loves it! If you can't find the hash browns with onions already in with the potatoes, just saute 1/3 cup chopped onion and add that to the mix before baking. While I use a 4 cheese blend, cheddar cheese alone would be fine also...the cooked cheese makes a delicious crust in the casserole. Frozen hash browns would work too just thaw them before adding to the mix. Perfect for a brunch, we also love it for supper too! -- posted by Chef Learnee

Spicy Macaroni and Cheese

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:14:33 -0400

From foodnetwork.com. This is the easiest way to make homemade mac and cheese that I've ever come across...in fact I've been altering all other mac and cheese recipes to reflect the method of prep in this recipe. I make this when I've got 15 minutes to throw together a meal (not including cooking time.) It doesn't hurt that this is a REALLY tasty macaroni recipe. Can be served as a side dish, but we're veggies so we usually eat it as the main dish. Hope you enjoy. -- posted by I Cook Therefore I Am

"meaty" Meatless French Cassoulet

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:07:35 -0400

I was introduced to an absolutely fantastic Traditional French cassoulet by a very good friend. This was my attempt to replicate it for my vegetarian husband using meat substitutes for a more traditional flavor than many vegetarian cassoulet recipes. I have to say it was a great success! This is extremely delicious and very close-tasting to the real thing. If you want to make it vegan, you can leave out the cheese. -- posted by cookingkiminpdx

From Taste of Home Aug/Sept 2006. "This is a wonderful casserole for a potluck. Whenever I make it, people enjoy it, especially the men." Made for dinner tonight. It is delicious. I think the rosemary should be decreased because it is a little overpowering for my taste. And as always, you can always use more cheese if ya want! I don't believe this would freeze well, but if you try, let me know how it turns out! -- posted by Chef Skie

Chicken Parmesan Bite-Bake

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:20:28 -0400

Okay it sounds silly, right? I find it hard to fry the chicken breasts because they're different thicknesses from one end to the other. I just cut them into bite sized cubes and continue on with the recipe. My mom likes it with pasta under it, but I really just like it with a nice salad and some cheesey bread. Add as much or as little as you like; this is just a basic, tasty recipe. Enjoy. :o) -- posted by NicolinaSurel

Three Cheese Beef Lasagna

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:22:57 -0400

I used to have a great recipe for Lasagna sauce, but of course the book it's in is at my parent's winter home. I used about three different recipes to approximate it, so here's my current version. I made this for dinner the other night and it was fairly easy and very good. This recipe is written for use with fresh Lasagna sheets, the ones that aren't dried and you don't have to boil or anything. You can just as easily use the dried pasta, just boil according to the package directions and use in place of the sheets. -- posted by CoCaShe

Snobahr's Baked Mac 'n Cheese

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:34:25 -0500

My family adores this, and it reheats quite nicely. This is *NOT* a low-fat recipe. I use cream when I have it on-hand, or a combination of cream and milk. I use whatever cheese I have on-hand, or I will pick up blocks of cheddar and/or Monterey jack, basically anything that will melt nicely. I avoid using the pre-shredded cheese, because they have a dusting of flour to keep them from clumping in the bag, and throws off the recipe in use. Tool cleanup gets interesting, too. I also use whatever small pasta I have onhand - macaroni, rotini, shells, etc. -- posted by SnoBahr

From Company's Coming - made it for dinner tonight and I loved it, especially since it didn't have any canned soup in it like many similar ones.

Originally posted on VegWeb.com by beep_i_am_a_robot. I haven't made this myself yet, but I want to get the nutritional breakdown.

This was a staple for me growing up in Quebec and brings back many happy memories. A perfect winter comfort food!!! I have tweaked an original recipe and wanted to share it with you. Great at breakfast with fried egg and sausage. A hearty meal with crusty bread and salad. It takes some time but well worth the wait -- I hope you enjoy them.

Christmas Eve Baccala (Salt Cod With Potatoes & Tomatoes)

Traditionally, Italians dine on seven different fish and seafood dishes (symbolizing the seven sacraments) on Christmas Eve. (By the way, you don't have to wait for Christmas to make this wonderful dish.) This recipe is typical of the Calabrian region of Italy. Have plenty of crusty Italian bread available to scoop up the sauce. And, remember to buy your dried, salted cod (baccala) three days before cooking, so you can prepare it. Buono Natale!! -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

This is an amalgamation of some different Cooking Light recipes using what I had on hand one evening, which turned out to be even better the next day. Best of all, you don't have to cook the lasagna noodles first! Feel free to adjust, such as replacing water with chicken broth, adding more ground turkey, using whole wheat noodles, etc. Also, I am a slow cook, so it may take less than 30 minutes for you to prep.

Holubsti--Ukranian Cabbage Rolls

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:45:38 -0500

I spent 18 months in central Canada, serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While I was there, I fell in love with the people and the food, specifically Ukrainian and Filipino food. The cabbage rolls were my favorite, and when I returned to the US, I began searching for recipes, but could never find one that I liked. This recipe comes from me combining elements of two or three different recipes that I found. The resulting recipe is surprisingly easy--if a bit labor intensive. I included instructions to make a sauce, but, if you run out of energy, the stuff in a can works just as well. If I want to do a homemade sauce, I usually do it a day or so in advance., By omitting the meat, this can be a vegetarian dish. By also omitting the sour cream and using margarine instead of butter, it can be vegan. -- posted by CorianneW

Hash Brown Casserole With Bacon and Cheddar

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:27:10 -0500

Wonderful for a weekend brunch. My whole family absolutely loves it. Lots of flavor from the onions, chives, and bell pepper. There are lots of variations of this recipe but I like that this one uses milk instead of sour cream or cream cheese which are high in fat and this one still has just as much flavor. It came from Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook that a friend got me for Christmas. I only switch the whole milk to 1 % and keep the skillet at medium-low instead of low when making the sauce. Can easily be doubled to serve more people. When I do, I use a 12 oz package of bacon and a 1 lb 14 oz bag of hash browns since that's what they usually come in anyways. Also, the easiest way to snip the chives is with kitchen scissors. So much faster than with a knife! Enjoy! -- posted by BrinaBear

Turkey Tetrazzini

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:54:22 -0500

This casserole is an American pasta dish that includes a cream sauce, mushrooms, and either chicken, turkey, you can use seafood. It is thought to have been invented in San Francisco and named after the famous opera singer of the early 1900s, Luisa Tetrazzini. A great dish to make using Thanksgiving leftovers. A very flexible dish using what leftovers you have. -- posted by ~Rita~

Baked Sour Cream Noodles (Low-Fat)

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:41:53 -0500

A creamy, cheesy, treasure of a find from the American Heart Association's cookbook. Traditionally we would think of this as a side dish, but at 396 calories per serving I wanted to make sure this recipe would fill us up without having to add large servings of meat or bread. It did! We like it served with 1/2 of a small grilled/broiled chicken breast and steamed veggies, but shrimp would also be a nice accompaniment. I am in constant search of low-fat, heart healthy recipes that actually fill us up. So often we find recipes listed as "low-fat" or "heart healthy" and the serving size is so small a person walks away from the table hungry or we are deceived by the words "low-fat" and eat 4x what the recommended portion size is defeating the original intent. This filling dish generously serves 4. We also like a tsp or so of onion powder added to the cheese mixture. If you are not on a sodium restricted diet, feel free to add salt to taste. The recipezaar database doesn't seem to recognize the yolk free egg noodles or low sodium worcestershire sauce so I will list the Nutrition Values as stated by the AHA.

Shawarma Spiced Shepherds Cottage Pie

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:46:44 -0500

I got this recipe from a local hole in the wall Lebanese restaurant and tweaked it a bit. Best of both the sweet and savory worlds. As a time saver I keep a jar of this spice blend (Shawarma spice blend) on hand and just measure out 2 1/2 tsp of the combined mixture in order to make this recipe. For the frozen vegetables I use a combo of corn, peas, green beans and carrots. -- posted by Banriona Aeval

Homestyle Meatloaf

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 02:32:11 -0500

I got this recipe out of the Fannie Farmer Boston Cooking School cookbook. It is now my only meatloaf recipe and my family is constantly requesting it. I did change slightly and you can change the ketchup and water to just water or just milk. The Parmesan cheese can be omitted as well. If you prefer you can use any other type of ground beef. And the original recipe called for bacon placed on top. -- posted by elieugene6

Vegetarian Stuffed Cabbage (Ww)

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 08:31:14 -0500

My ds loved this and even packed the leftovers in tupperware so his girlfriend could have some! Never asked about the "meat"! If following WW this is only 5 WW pts for 2 cabbage rolls. When I made this I miscalculated the time, so I put in the fridge and the next day added 1 can tomatoes w/green chilies and some leftover WW cheese and cooked for 30 minutes or so. Although delicious this is a time consuming recipe -- the original recipe says 2 1/ 2 hours but I took 3 hours to make this plus the another 1/2 hour to reheat the next day --- so be prepared!

Food Network Nuevo Latino Chipotle Beef

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:07:00 -0500

I do the beef stew part in a crockpot instead of stockpot in the oven. I also steam the butternut squash in the microwave, but you can follow the recipe the way Food Network's Challenge winner described below. I used chipotle peppers in adobo sauce instead of ground chipotle,too. -- posted by janric

Greek Chicken Casserole

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:31:48 -0500

This recipe came from my good friend Nicole. She invited us to dinner one night when she prepared it and gave me the recipe before we moved.. My family really likes it! You can add bread crumbs to the top if you like and I have even added more mushrooms and a little hot sauce to kick it up, but that's personal taste. -- posted by Chef #231057

Cauliflower and Potato Gratin (Russ Parsons)

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:52:38 -0500

A simple, satisfying vegetarian recipe than can be served as a holiday side dish or a or as a main the rest of the year. Do be sure to cook the cauliflower well to mellow the flavor. And make the white sauce a little thicker than you might think appropriate -- the cauliflower and potatoes will both give off some moisture while they bake. From the Los Angeles Times (December 23, 2009). -- posted by blucoat

Cream of Chicken Enchiladas

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:51:44 -0500

This is a great recipe that a friend of mine has been bringing to office pot-lucks for years. I just got the recipe from him and made it myself. It's a unique and pretty decadent twist on traditional enchiladas. You can adjust the amount of green chiles and jalapenos to your particular taste. This recipe carries a little bite, but is not particularly hot (even using green chiles rated HOT). To pep it up, use 3 cans of green chiles and 2 cans of jalapenos. For potlucks or freezing, double or triple this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1534395
