Turkey and Roasted Tomato Salad

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:37:42 -0500

Perfect to use up that holiday turkey!!! A healthy recipe from Chef MD (John La Puma, MD). Recipe published as Diabetic friendly in Walgreen's Diabetes and You. States dietary exchanges are 1 starch, 2 vegetables, 2 lean meat and 2 fats. NOTE: I made this salad today and I recommend putting Greek or Italian seasoning on the tomatoes before cooking (delish) and the basil on top really makes the difference in this dish (otherwise it's just a salad). -- posted by JanuaryBride

Sorrento Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:08:08 -0500

Not sure but I think I got this recipe from a Sorrento cheese package and it has served me well.

The skin is very important to help the stuffing stay in place nice. Enjoy. -- posted by ChefRaylene

A Pint of Prawns and Guinness Chaser - British Pub Grub!

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:37:21 -0400

Classic and traditional British Pub Grub! Cooked prawns (shrimps) served in a pint mug with a tangy garlic mayonnaise and a pint of Guinness of course - my idea of heaven! British pub grub is justly famous and this simple dish is also great when served at home. Serve these prawns for family gatherings, or St Patrick's Day, St George's Day, St David's Day, St Andrew's Day, Australia Day, football, superbowl, darts matches or ANY time you fancy simple, robust food with a pint of ale! I have suggested Guinness but you can serve these prawns with any real ale or your favourite brew. I have spiced the mayonnaise up a tad - if you are not a lover of spicy food, serve these prawns with classic mayonnaise. -- posted by French Tart

It even makes a great sandwich filling. The trick to this recipe's success is to cook everything slowly so that the flavors really deepen and sweeten. -- posted by blucoat

Shanghai-Ish Cold Noodles

Avoid rice noodles, which tend to get hard when cold, or udon, which are simply too thick.

Scallop and Mango Ceviche With Thai-Lime Dipping Sauce

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:11:05 -0400

This dipping sauce, fresh with herbs and tangy with lime, is Blue Ginger's, Ming Tsai's restaurant, most requested recipe. It's based on the traditional Thai dip called cha-gio, which gets its flavor from fish sauce. That salty ingredient is nicely balanced with lime juice. The herbs darken as the sauce ages; this isn't a taste problem (quite the opposite, as the flavor deepends over time) but the sauce will lose it looks. If this bothers you make and store the sauce "base" only, then chop & add the herbs an hour before serving it.Ceviche is food "cooked" without heat. As with all ceviches, freshness is key. Make sure your scallops are pristine enough to eat raw. This technique uses citric acid or vinegar to firm and therefore"cooked". Here, mango adds its exotic sweetness to scallops, which cook in the flavorful dipping sauce. Ming Tsai - ming.com - Episode 105, Tags: sauce, appetizer, scallops or mangoes. ;) -- posted by Manami

Mme Benoit's Tourtière

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:06:48 -0500

Tourtière is a French Canadian meat pie which is traditionally served at Christmas. It may be made from pork, beef or a combination of meats sometimes including veal. Different regions in Quebec have their own traditional recipes. Some regions use game such as hare or duck rather than beef and pork. The pies should not have too much filling as they are just a part of the whole traditional Christmas dinner. It's usually served with tomato ketchup. This recipe is the creation of Mme Jehane Benoit, a famous Quebec cooking expert who received the Order of Canada for her contributions to Canadian cuisine. I found this recipe on recipesource.com and on blogger.com where it was posted by Lizzy Ferland. It is originally from the Canadiana Cookbook. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Mexican Salad in a Tortilla (Ww 6 Pts)

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 09:02:35 -0500

This is a delicious recipe from Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook. The crunchy tortilla cups soak up the yummy dressing and become a treat on their own. To make the tortilla cups use my Recipe #381215 The Weight Watchers cookbook calculates the calories to be 307. Zaars calculation is lower which would make the points value lower as well. I think the cooking spray might be counted in the calorie count by WW. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Red Pepper Vichyssoise

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:31:30 -0500

This is a lovely soup to serve in the summertime, as it is served chilled. If you prefer, you can substitute sour cream for the creme fraiche. To make creme fraiche, just combine 1 cup of whipping cream with 2 tbsp of buttermilk. Once combined, cover and let stand at room temperature for 8 hours. This will make a cup of creme fraiche. Prep and cooking time does not include the chill time! -- posted by breezermom
