Great Vegetable Soup

Sun, 28 Apr 2002 18:32:42 -0400

I came up with this because my wife loves everything creamy, but has been told to cut down on the dairy. The potatoes break down and give a cream soup feel and taste. It's very simple, hearty and healthy. It's also easy to come up with variations. A food processor makes for easy preparation -- posted by Paul Elliott

Guacamole - Best Ever!

Tue, 02 Jul 2002 20:41:28 -0400

This "Best Ever" recipe is an amalgamation of every other Guacamole recipe I've tried. It's absolutely wonderful with tortillas or mixed with a can of salmon or tuna and spread on a sandwich. A perfect snack for when you don't want the oven on. It's so easy! I love it. -- posted by Rinjii Flower

Moderate Madeleines (Cocoa)

Thu, 21 Nov 2002 20:19:41 -0500

I got this as a diabetic cookie recipe many years ago from the Toronto Star. Because they are rather soft and cakey, I like to bake them in madeleine pans. They are very good, even if you are not diabetic give them a try. Do not overbake them, or they may be dry. -- posted by Jenny Sanders

Cocoa Oatmeal with Dates

Sat, 15 Nov 2003 20:00:19 -0500

Now that the word is out that chocolate is good for you (BUT only if not mixed with milk) why not have it for breakfast? This makes a nice change of pace from plain oatmeal. Karl did not think this was sweet enough, but when he sprinkled a little brown sugar over he was happy. Serve with ricemilk or soymilk to get the full advantage of those cocoa flavinoids. -- posted by Jenny Sanders

Versatile Brown Rice Salad

Tue, 16 Mar 2004 20:00:00 -0500

I make this quite often for pot-lucks. My circle of Friends includes vegetarians, and people with allergies to gluten, dairy and onions. It makes coming up with something everyone can eat and will like a bit of a challenge. However this goes over well even with those who have no food restrictions. It's very flexible; I hardly ever put in everything I have listed, and you can certainly put in other fruits and vegetables as seems good to you. Don't be put off by the length of the ingredients and instructions; it's really very easy especially if you cook the grains the night before. I typically stagger, bleary-eyed, into the kitchen at the last possible moment and have it put together in half an hour. If you don't mix in the seeds, the salad will keep well for several days in the fridge. (It will still keep if you mix in the seeds, they will just get a little soggy.) Also, remember that barley is not gluten free. Instead of the red rice, wild rice or barley you can also just use a second 1/2 cup of brown rice. -- posted by Jenny Sanders

Oatmeal Cooked in a Rice Cooker

Wed, 17 Mar 2004 19:59:37 -0500

I got very bored with standing around for 15 or 20 minutes every morning, stirring oatmeal. Wasted time! I kept thinking, "I could be on 'Zaar instead!" Then I came up with this idea, and now I am. -- posted by Jenny Sanders

Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Feta & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Wed, 31 Mar 2004 20:00:14 -0500

The soaking water from the sun-dried tomatoes can be refrigerated for several days. The liquid adds a layer of flavor to salad dressings, or can be used in place of part of the chicken or vegetable broth in recipes. -- posted by Dancer^

Cottage Cheese and Yogurt Pancakes

Thu, 08 Apr 2004 20:01:53 -0400

This recipe comes from the Big Book of Breakfast, written my Maryana Vollstedt. This cookbook is filled with many delicious recipes and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who enjoys breakfast/brunch foods! I serve these pancakes with a mixture of flavoured yogurt and some pure maple syrup. -- posted by Tammy Sutherland

Dietetic Diabetic Pineapple Pudding

Tue, 11 May 2004 20:00:04 -0400

I am on a rather strict diet at the moment, and came up with this yummy dessert that meets the letter of the 'law' if not the spirit! Be sure to use pineapple in its own juice, NOT pineapple in syrup. Cook time is chill time - this is very quick to make. -- posted by Jenny Sanders

Save the Stems Broccoli, Carrot & Cabbage Stir Fry

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 20:00:19 -0400

I've always liked broccoli, providing you are talking about the budding tops. The stems I could do without. For a while there I was throwing the stems away, but that felt so extravagant that I kept wondering if there wasn't something I could do with them. There is... and it's even delicious. Now I look forward to the stems as much as the rest of the broccoli. -- posted by Jenny Sanders

Green Beans With Citrus Mustard

Sun, 17 Apr 2005 21:06:03 -0400

Mustard offers so many ways to zest up low-sodium and low-fat dishes that its no wonder it is a popular seasoning. In addition to using it with fish, poultry, cooked vegetables and raw salads, it perks up grains and legumes, too. Points 0. -- posted by Dancer^

Coconut Meringue Cookies

Fri, 20 May 2005 09:57:12 -0400

These came out very light and crispy, but not the same texture as regular sugar meringues. As you can see in the photo, they also come out very yellow instead of the usual white color. I can only guess that it's the Splenda that causes it. You can have 5 of these and only get 1 carb and 1 gram fat. Points 0. -- posted by Dancer^

Wed, 25 May 2005 13:51:14 -0400
