Kiwi, Strawberry and Grape Juice.

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:51:44 -0400

I got this recipe from 'The top 100 juices' by Sarah Owen, published by Lifetime Distributors, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "All three fruits in this juice provide a massive infection-fighting boost of vitamin C and can help to shorten the duration of a cold. The kiwi fruit a also contain lutein, a phytonutrient known to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and eye disease. Both strawberries and grapes are high in ellagic acid, which neutralizes carcinogens. The tannins, flavones and active compounds in the grapes combine to make them energizing and strengthen the cell walls of blood vessels" You could make more than one serving, and serve with lemonade and ice in a punch bowl for a party if desired. I haven't made this yet, as I don't have a juicer, but if I ever get one, this will be the first juice that I make. Enjoy! :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! This is really, really sweet and a little different. I wouldn't add extra sugar, there's already a lot of flavors going on and natural sugar. -- posted by the80srule

Piquant Caper Salad Molds

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:22:44 -0400

This very unusual recipe came from my husband's step-grandmother. I'll be honest with you: people who try this either ADORE it and clamor for the recipe, or take a bite and say, "hmmmm....innnnteresting?" (then don't finish it.) Happily, the former outnumber the latter! If you're like me and really love the sweet/sour/salty combination, you'll love this. I serve it at buffet dinners on a big glass tray, with each individual mold atop a curly lettuce leaf, and dolloped with a bit of homemade mayonnaise. (Note: the "cooking time" is actually "chilling time.") -- posted by La Dilettante

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:59:34 -0400

This recipe is very versatile because it can be made in the form of muffins, bread or CAKE! If you like, you can add a bit less sugar and leave out the chocolate chips and make it more appropriate for breakfast/brunch. Walnut are are great addition, but are by no means necessary. I think these are amazing just as they are. From: Joy of Vegan Baking! Please note: Cook time for MUFFINS is stated below. If baking as a "bread" or cake it should probably bake for 40-45 minutes -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Healthier Sour Cream Banana Date Bread

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:59:48 -0400

This is my take on healthifying (is that a real word??) the super-popular Recipe #9351. I added dates and eliminated the sugar entirely, swapped out the white flour for whole wheat, and substituted grapeseed oil for half the butter. The result was a super moist loaf that was just sweet enough - the sweetness from the dates and bananas really shone through. It turned out so well I thought I would share. -- posted by Chilicat

Habanero Mango Hot Sauce

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:26:18 -0500

I blend fresh organic carrots, mango, onions, garlic, and a hint of lime juice with the Habanero. The result is a pepper sauce that harmonizes heat and flavor without the overpowering pungency found in traditional vinegar-based hot sauces. Creating a spicy but not overpowering sauce that allows you to spice your food without drowning out the original flavor. The capsaicin is not only hot on the tongue, it is brutal on the eyes or in cuts on your fingers. When preparing peppers you can wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and keep your hands clean. capsaicin has a way of staying on your hands even after washing. Safety glasses will help you avoid splashes or touching your eyes while cutting and cleaning peppers. The steam from boiling vinegar is very strong. Avoid breathing it. Cooking your hot sauce will help blend the flavors together, break down pieces of solid ingredients and pasteurize the sauce. It is an important step which should only be skipped if the sauce will be used up completely within 1 week. Bottles can be bought at http://www.leeners.com/index.html -- posted by ~Rita~

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:44:38 -0500

Oh my gosh these are AWESOME! This can of pineapple on the counter was calling to me, and my husband can't eat wheat, so if I make pancakes they're gonna have oats in them. Plus, the Tahitian Pancakes came up on Heroes in the past week or so, so that's on my mind. I combined two different recipes that I found online, one for pineapple pancakes and one for oatmeal pancakes. Neither one is like this new version though. SO AWESOME! One last thing, I used coconut milk instead of cow milk, since my husband is also on this non-dairy kick. This recipe makes A LOT of pancakes, and they're very filling.

Add a spoonful to curries or mix with cold shredded chicken, curry powder and mayonnaise for a lovely baked potato or sandwich filling. Just make sure your mangoes are really ripe and soft. -- posted by robd16

Don't think of this as a drink though do serve it in a glass. This is more like eating peaches and cream. Fantastic. -- posted by robd16

From an old Panguitch, UT Relief Society recipe book. I've not made this yet, but it looks good. Sharing for my future reference. Prep and cooking time is a guess at this point. As is servings -- posted by xochitl angulo

Maryland Chicken

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:53:56 -0500

Another Dixie meal that combines sweet and savoury elements, who would have thought that banana and chicken would work so well together. Everything originally would have been deep fried in batter but I prefer this slightly lighter version. The sweetcorn fritters are a must and can be made whilst the chicken is cooking in no time. I'm not sure if this recipe comes from the state of Maryland, USA but to be honest I don't really care! Satisfying to the very last mouthful. mmmm! -- posted by robd16

Twice Baked Toffee Banana Flapjacks

After cutting the flapjacks, they go back into the oven and become chewy, crunchy and gooey all at once! Sensational! -- posted by robd16

Mango and Peach Salsa

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:00:04 -0500

This fresh salsa is great served with dips and chips and is well worth the effort of all that chopping. It is also fat free, very good for you and really tasty! -- posted by robd16

Fat Free Banana Bread (Vegan)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:06:31 -0500

Found this recipe on VegFamily. This banana bread is so moist. Be very careful to not over mix....over mixing will result in a dry bread. -- posted by Chef #1442777

Chinese Pineapple Chicken With Cashew Nuts, Ginger, Spring Onion

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:10:58 -0500

This is sure to satisfy all your cravings for Chinese food, it's a great recipe. Be brave with the ginger, it mellows out as it cooks and is helped along by the sweetness of the dish. The cashew nuts are optional but I am yet to make it without them as I love their crunchy texture and creamy taste. Be sure to serve it with plenty of white fluffy rice. Quicker than waiting for takeout. -- posted by robd16

Cranberry Pineapple Cheesecake Tart

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:11:39 -0500

While searching for a way to use up all of the cranberries I have bought in the last couple of weeks, I found this tasty recipe. I found this online @ http://www.cranberries.org courtesy of Massachusetts Cranberry Harvest Festival Recipes 1997, Second Place - Best of Show Lorraine G. Garr. I'm putting this here for safe keeping. -- posted by SassiFras

Banana Carrot Cake

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:14:41 -0500

From my mother-in-law. This carrot cake does not have a cream cheese frosting. I have not had this yet, but my hubby says it's wonderful. He says that he can't taste the bananas in the cake, but it's been years since he's had it, so that might be wrong. He says it's really good though. -- posted by The Wallaces

Cranberry Squares

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:00:43 -0500

My hubby isn't a huge fan of cranberries because they're too sour for him but I love them around the holidays. I made this a couple years ago for Thanksgiving and he loved it! The jello portion should be made the night before and the topping can be made the day of, but should be refrigerated at least an hour before serving. -- posted by The Wallaces
