Ww Couscous Salad

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:14:52 -0400

This is a filling, low points salad. If you really want to make it lower points, cut the amount of couscous you use (my usual couscous is 9 points per cup). I actually use 1/3 cup couscous for 3 points and leave out the olive oil from the dressing to make it really lean. As written, this recipe provides a total of 12 points but using 1/3 cup couscous and no olive oil gives 3 points only. Serves 2 as a lunch or up to 4 as a side dish. Cook time includes half an hour for the salad to chill in the refrigerator. This is easy to increase for large groups or take-to-work lunches. -- posted by Shuzbud

Breadmaker Granola

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:37:51 -0400

Make healthy Granola to use in trail mix or over yogurt for a healthy breakfast...in your breadmaker! I use about a 1/3 cup scoop of this over about 1/3 cup - 1/2 cup plain natural yogurt for my breakfast every day. I also found this to be an easy, filling and healthy camping breakfast with the individual size yogurts thrown in the cooler. Choose your own combo of nuts and dried fruits...for a special treat, add some dark chocolate chips after it has cooled. -- posted by Seamor

Not Your Average Granola Bars

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:03:21 -0400

From Outpost Natural Foods. This can be gluten free and dairy free if you use gluten free oats and margarine. My DD who can't have wheat or dairy loved these. I doubled it and they were a bit crumbly, but maybe they stay together better in an 8x8 pan as the recipe uses. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Found this recipe on the back of a sugar packet. I hate Bananas in anything and this is the only recipe I've ever come across where I don't mind the bananas. When I make it I put the batter into 12 Medium Muffin moulds instead and halve the cooking time. The family loves them as a snack, lunchbox treat or breakfast on the run. -- posted by Possum Chef

Ultimate Cheese Dip

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:43:54 -0400

My friend Cheryl gave me this recipe - the saying is around our town if Cheryl makes it, it's got to be good. She first made it for a superbowl party. My team wasn't playing, I was just there for the food:) .... and boy was it worth it! And to top it off it's SUPER easy, but tastes like you labored. If you don't like watching sports on TV, my suggestion is to make this, set it out for the guys mezmerized by your tv, and hit the mall. Chances are you'll be back before they even know you are gone. This recipe is simple, make it once, then next time, change it up, add different cheeses, or whatever strikes your fancy. But made as written..............yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm -- posted by velvet_sj

Cool weather is coming & I adore a fresh bear claw with a steaming hot cup of coffee. When I came across this recipe I had to save it. From the Wichita Eagle, this blue ribbon winner at the Kansas State Fair was the winner of the Fleischmann's Yeast "Bake for the Cure" Contest. It was created by Laura McReynolds of Hutchinson, KS. The prep time includes chilling & risings so it is not as labor intensive as the time suggests. -- posted by Buster's friend

An Indoor Camembert Picnic Platter for Parties and Fêtes!

Picnic like the French with a perfectly ripe Camembert, some garlicky sausage and a fresh, crusty baguette - eh voila! No need to go outside for a picnic, if the weather is inclement; enjoy a picnic in your kitchen at the kitchen table, or use the cheese platter as a centrepiece for parties, fêtes, cocktails or social gatherings! Lay a tartan rug on the table and use wicker baskets or a hamper if you wish...........be as "rustique" or as "chic" as you want to be!

No cook but easy to put together. Originally a recipe from Kraft. I find the Marie's brand dressing really makes this appetizer pop but you can make homemade dressing as well. Enjoy!

Mani's Bakery's High Protein Muffin

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:33:14 -0400

This recipe comes from the LA Times Food section's SOS column posted in response to reader pleading. It is an adapted recipe from the bakery. You need jumbo muffin tins to get the 14 muffins from this - regular tins will yield more muffins & likely need a slightly shortened cooking time. Should be getting about 11 grams of protein & 9 grams of fiber with about 32 grams of fat - but a lot of that is coming from the seeds & canola oil. Just the thing for hiking, fishing or hunting - easy to eat & needs no fridge! -- posted by Buster's friend

Summer Camp Gorp

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:12:51 -0400

I used to work in the kitchen of a summer camp back in the day and we would always make this recipe for the kids at snack time and set some out for breakfast. During the breakfast hours I would see some kids pour milk over it and have it as a kind of makeshift cereal. Of course we would make this in tremendous quantities so I've had to do some math and lessen the ingredient amounts needed. So just a quick tip: if you decide to double this recipe, please use 3 large eggs instead of 4 small eggs. Also keep an eye on the oats as they're cooking, as all ovens are different, so they don't burn. -- posted by NapalmFairy

It's not even Easter, but I boiled a bunch of eggs so I had an excuse to prepare another one of my favorite naughty foods--deviled eggs. This is a simple recipe, but very good.

Blueberry Muffins à La Alton Brown (Good Eats on Food Net

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:46:08 -0500

We tried this recipe because I was craving having blueberry streusel scones (# 244646) again. However, I am trying to cut down on my saturated fat and cholesterol, so we looked for something to fill that baked goods craving without blowing my daily saturated fat limit, and Alton Brown is often a decent place to start. We used whole wheat pastry flour with some flax meal thrown in for good measure, frozen blueberries allowed to thaw slightly, and a silicon muffin tin. They were somehow dense and light at the same time, and had an interesting buttermilk note (we assume from the yogurt). Also, Alton says muffins are really more like pancakes than cupcakes! -- posted by Michelle from Central Time

Fortnum and Masons Authentic Scotch Eggs With Sausage and Herbs

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:06:45 -0500

Freshly boiled eggs are encased in a herb flavoured sausage jacket and are then deep-fried until golden and crisp, delicious! Contrary to popular belief, Scotch eggs are not Scottish, and they were actually invented by the famous London department store Fortnum & Mason in 1738, where they are still available today. The word "Scotch" is an old English word meaning to chop or mince, and obviously, the eggs are covered with chopped or minced pork sausage meat, hence the name Scotch Eggs. They are traditional British picnic food but I also like to serve them as a light lunch or snack, and they make a wonderful addition to the buffet table. These tasty traditional English specialities have had bad press over the years; mainly down to commercial mass production, but if you make them at home with fresh, free-range eggs and the best quality sausage meat, they will taste divine, and they will always be the stars of the picnic hamper or family lunch table! PLEASE use high quality sausage meat or sausages, with at least 70% meat content.Historical Note: Founded in 1707, Fortnum & Mason (F&M) stocks "food fit for a queen". The 300-year-old British department store, famous for its jams, teas, and sauces, provides the Queen with her annual supply of Christmas puddings and holds the "Royal Warrant. -- posted by French Tart

Maple Cinnamon Pinwheels

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:14:27 -0500

These swirly twirls of perfection combine three of my favorite things in a cookie: cinnamon, rich maple/brown sugar sweetness and a buttery, short texture. Found in the Women's Weekly "Quick-mis Biscuits and Slices". I had Wholemeal Plain Flour on hand and I would recommend it. -- posted by Chef #1315010

Crunchy Granola Bars

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:39:56 -0500

I love those nature's valley crunchy granola bars and I also like those sweet and salty granola bars as well as fruit granola bars! But notice how you can't seem to get everything you want in a granola bar without sacrificing the healthy aspects. Anyhow, these are great and easy adapted for whatever ingredient you fancy. -- posted by Dulcet Kitchen

Elegant Tarragon and Tomato Butter Tea Sandwiches

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:56:30 -0500

These delightful and rather unusual tea sandwiches combine the delicate French herb tarragon, with ripe tomatoes, garlic and shallots a change from the usual basil and tomatoes. The tomatoes are gently poached with all the seasonings until a thick puree or butter is obtained; the tomato butter is then cooled and you are left with a wondrous sandwich filling, bursting with flavour and colour! The butter can be used for all manner of things, including a topping for a pizza or for toasted sandwiches. Use fresh bread, white or wholemeal, and garnish with fresh tarragon leaves. Any excess butter can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. NB: Prep time includes chilling time for the butter. -- posted by French Tart

Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have inlcluded a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then! -- posted by French Tart
