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

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:48:14 -0500

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

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

I haven't made this yet but it sounds yummy to me. Recipe comes from The old Farmer's Almanac. It was submitted by Mrs. Henrietta McClellan. I'm thinking that cream of shrimp soup might be a good substitute for the cream of mushroom soup. At the holiday season this would be pretty made with red and green bell pepper. This casserole is also good topped with grated asiago or longhorn cheese. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Creamy Chicken and Kabocha Squash Shells

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

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

Pasta With Smothered Onion Sauce (Marcella Hazan)

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:36:33 -0500

This is an easy, delicious, and simple recipe from "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" by Marcella Hazan. You just mix all the ingredients on the stove and come back and hour later. The onions get meltingly soft and sweet. It'salso great with some crumbled blue cheese. If you use homemade pasta, which is more absorbent than spaghetti, you should start with 1 tbsp more butter when making the sauce. TO MAKE AHEAD : You can cook the sauce entirely in advance up to the point where you add the parsley. When you are nearly ready to toss with the pasta, reheat the sauce over medium heat and add the parsley just before draining the pasta. -- posted by blucoat

Pasta With Tuna, Spinach, and Red Pepper Flakes

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:03:52 -0500

The original recipe came from the San Francisco Chronicle. The original recipe calls for arugula (which I love) but it's hard to find sometimes, so I switched to fresh spinach. If you can find an Italian tonno in olive oil (Bumble Bee has one in the gold can which I can easily find), then it's worth the extra money to use. However, I have used tuna in water when it was all I had in the pantry. Just drain the water and add a little olive oil to the can, since this tuna is a bit drier than the Italian version. Let it marinate for about an hour, then drain it and use. Canned tuna has never tasted so good!!! I love this recipe for a quick dinner that I can throw together out of the pantry in less than 30 minutes, and DH was surprised how good it was when he first tasted it. This is a good base recipe to add extra goodies (sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, artichokes, black olives, capers, etc.). I look forward to reading your comments with your add ins :) -- posted by CharlieGal

Five-Jewel-Rice-Stuffed Chicken Breast With Hot Sour Sauce

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 07:33:00 -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.

This looked awfully good, simple, almost perfect! I made this last night and my BF and I were very pleased with the outcome. If possible, use leftover rice as fresh rice will be too moist. Leftover rice from Chinese takeout works well too. After making the dish the amount of garlic didn't seem excessive to me, but use your judgment. Courtesy of Mark Bittman, the minimalist, from today's version of the New York Times. I reduced the oil as it seemed excessive. Use 1/2 cup if you'd prefer. For a vegan dish, omit the eggs.

Pasta Alla Cacio E Pepe

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:11:01 -0500

This is purported to be "the best quick meal" we've ever tasted, as per Yvonne Ruperti in Cook's Illustrated. There are two other recipes for cacio e pepe (pasta with Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper) on RecipeZaar, but this one adds at least one more ingredient to keep the cheese from turning into a big clump. Add cream. This recipe was reprinted as "recipe of the week" in The Week magazine. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Whole Wheat Pancakes

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:20:31 -0500

Our family's favorite recipe - I converted it to whole wheat a few years ago, and no one noticed! I use organic milk and organic sugar and eggs; it makes a real difference. -- posted by what's for supper?

Cincinnati Style Chili

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:03 -0500

I have always loved Skyline Chili. I'm not from Cincinnati, but have been there. This is a combination of recipes I used to make one that has worked for me. I made it for the big superbowl party my family has every year. They loved it! I've never made it from scratch before because I didn't know what all was in the sauce. I had always used sauce packets from the grocery store. When the store was out, I had to come up with another solution. I love to cook and experiment. So...this is what I came up with. Enjoy! -- posted by earth_angel79

Chumley's Shrimp Skewers

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:20:28 -0500

I came up with this recipe the other night when my wife and girls wanted Alyssa's Favorite Fish, recipe# 361646. I didn't feel like fish so I tried this, I think you will enjoy it. I used whole wheat spaghetti for the pasta, and regular olive oil, you could use what you like. I was hoping to have some of this left over for the next day but I ate it all that night. I put down 2-4 servings but I ate it in one. Sorry!! Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. -- posted by Chumleyathome

Kristen's Kickin' Quinoa Salad

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:02:29 -0500

I was recently sold on quinoa and how awesome it is! Gluten free, an almost perfect protein, easy to prepare, the list goes on! This is a combination of two recipes, one of which I altered. The first is from this site, (#16399, Quinoa-Toasted). The second is from Allrecipes.com (Caron's Kickin' Quinoa Salad), to which I made some changes. We thought it tasted a bit like sushi and loved it! Feel free to add more heat, but this had enough for our family as we've got wee ones. A large portion of the cooking time is cooling time. -- posted by SandwichQueen
