Chicken and Veggetable Pasta

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:57:50 -0500

Simple and quick pasta that you can make with almost anything you have in the house (only a few of the ingredients are things you may not have). Doesn't use pasta sauce, olive oil and spices instead, and tons of veggies or just a few. (can be made for anyone who loves or hates veggies!) Many other vegetables are good options but I use these commonly (I would try artichoke hearts and other things if my boyfriend would eat them) -- posted by RealHalfTimeShow

Mitarashi Dango (Japanese Dumplings)

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:28:32 -0500

I've been looking at different recipes on here for Japanese dumplings and either people haven't had good luck with them or they are not too happy with the sauce. I found this recipe at: http://justbento.com/ Just type in "Dango" in the search engine for more specifics on the recipe. It will be the first one to come up. I'm sorry if it is a bit hard to read for the ingredients. **If you can't use Shiratamako, use Mochiko with about 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or potato starch flour. This will give it about the right texture** -- posted by Okashi

While looking for a healthier muffin recipe, I came across this little gem. I found this recipe on the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/fruit-nut-harvest-muffins.html Care2 says: There is so much whole-grain, high-fiber, anti-oxidant nourishment in every bite, and they hardly take any time at all to make: I can mix the batter while the water heats for tea, and bake them while I sip. Plus they freeze beautifully to enjoy on those rushed weekdays when the memory of a leisurely breakfast seems but a dream. -- posted by SassiFras

This is a recipe from a German cookbook that my husband made, it is supposed to be Asian-style. We made some changes to it to fit our tastes more. It is a lot of work, but it is really wonderful, warm and filling. It is important to chop everything before you start.

I created this recipe when I was on a highly restricted diet for 5 months, but I loved it so much that I adapted it a little and it's now a staple for us. It goes especially well with soup. They are also really good dipped in pretty much any kind of mustard, and my little one year old boy loves them. Feel free to experiment with any kind of rice you have on hand for this. I've used 11 different types of rice for it, and each time it was wonderful. It's a simple side dish, and sure to please anyone that comes through my door for a snack or a meal. -- posted by Canning_Queen

Warm comfort food. Someone gave me this recipe years ago. To provide contrast, serve with something crunchy and/or something colorful. I tend to cut the recipe in half, and then use less olive oil and more cumin. Also I sometimes find the uncooked garlic a bit harsh; wilting it a bit in the bottom of the pan may be wise. -- posted by Michelle from Central Time

I'll continue to tweak this one, I'm sure, but this is my current version. At these amounts, it makes a good bit of sauce. Number of servings listed is my guesstimate for pasta, which is what I originally came up with this for. I had some leftover in the fridge this afternoon, though, and tried it over a leftover chicken breast. Yum! Makes me wonder what else this might work on... -- posted by Cluich

Vegetarian Western Bacon Cheeseburger

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:07:16 -0500

I know, this sound weird. I've been a vegetarian for 5 years and there are some items I missed from my meat eating days. I was having a craving for a Carl's Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger one day and decided to vegetarianize it. This is super easy to make and tastes very much like the original. To save time and to make it taste more authentic, use onion rings from a fast food restaurant like Sonic. I prepared the burger while I send my boyfriend down the street to Sonic. Also, slightly burning the Lightlife Smart Bacon is what makes it taste like real bacon. -- posted by danakscully64

Tom Yum Soup With Vegetables

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:04:14 -0500

Thai Tom Yum soup is a delicious and aromatic Thai soup. I crave this soup ALL of the time. I have brought this to parties and people always rave about it. Now friends always ask me to make it whenever we're getting together. I made it completely from scratch for years. A few years ago, I started using the paste and prefer it. I find it to be more flavorful. Tom Yum is distinctly known for it's hot and sour flavor. My version maintains the distinct hotness and sourness of the traditional soup but it also is slightly sweet and spicy. I make a side of jasmine rice and serve it with the soup. I noted the ingredients and amounts I use however, I encourage additions, deletions and alterations. I don't care for the mushrooms and I love broccoli which may come as a surprise to some. Broccoli is not a traditional component of this recipe but it's healthy and I find that it goes nicely with the broth. Play and have fun! -- posted by Proserpine79

Sweet and Savory Squash Stew

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:41:31 -0500

This recipe combines some of the most iconic tastes of fall--butternut and acorn squash, sweet potato, apple--in a sweet and savory pot of deliciousness. I recommend serving with a dollop of sour cream. And cornbread. All amounts for seasonings are estimates--I tend to season as I go and according to taste; I have a feeling these are underestimates. I will be sure to update the next time I make this with adjusted amounts. I used a smoked (pre-cooked) ham steak for this; I have also made it with other kinds of ham, with turkey sausage, and without meat altogether with positive results. -- posted by Tlharin

White Bean Chicken Chili

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:36:38 -0500

I looked for a long time for a good chili recipe, and never found one that quite did it...so I ended up with this, which is fairly simple, and lends itself pretty well to scaling up or down, and also lasts a good long time in a crockpot for parties and such. -- posted by pr0digal jenius

Amazing Chicken Noodle Soup With Acorn Squash

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:57:12 -0500

Don't be deceived by the lack of added seasonings. It is full of flavor! Adding the squash makes the whole thing rich and smooth, with a color and consistency similar to Kraft Mac'N'Cheese! Delicious! Even my daughters loved it! (3 yrs & 7 mos) I just took the chicken out for my baby girl, mashed it up, and she couldn't have enough! This recipe makes a whole stock-pot full, and it's super easy to make, so it's a great one to make and freeze the leftovers. I was going to, but it we scarfed it all up in 2 days! -- posted by Chef #1459874
