Tequila-Lime Pork Roast

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 02:16:34 -0400

Boneless pork loin marinated in tequila and covered with a flavorful rub. Adapted from dLife. The recipe calls for fresh lime juice, but I used bottled (not the sweetened type) since 2 cups of lime juice is about 32 limes and that is too expensive and time consuming for a marinade :) Use 1 fresh lime for the zest and add juice from that lime to the bottled juice. Prep time includes 24 hour marinating time. -- posted by mikekey

Veggie Sandwiches A.k.a. Veggimiches

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:43:31 -0400

I used to make these all the time in southern Cali for my BF. Now that I've relocated to the far North, certain fresh ingredients are harder to come by, so I haven't been able to make this sandwich in ages. I'm not sure where the "m" stems from in "veggiemich," that's just what we ended up calling it. :) The reason for mixing the mustard and dressing prior to spreading on the bread is to avoid uneven spreading while keeping the calorie count down. Everything can of course be omitted or replaced to your taste; you can even make it Atkins-friendly by making a lettuce pocket and omitting the bread, hehe! We loved using a lot of pepper for a nice kick. You can make it a more filling meal with other additions, too! ^_^ -- posted by FuzzyKiwi

Received this in an email from www.whfoods.org (a good site for sound nutrition advice). I like this recipe because it is fresh, fast & adaptable to what the garden is currently offering. The site offered this as well - "If you want to enhance the flavor of chicken or fish as well as add extra vitamins K, A and C to your meal, try this pesto that can be prepared in a matter of minutes.

Asian Turkey Burgers With Sesame Mayo

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:26:27 -0400

Hoisin sauce gives these burgers a juicy texture, while ginger and garlic provide a burst of flavor and water chestnuts deliver an appealing crunch. Serve them over toasted whole-wheat buns with a side of tender greens. We used this tangy mayonnaise to enliven the burger even more or for a chicken sandwich or a dip for a platter of wonderful roasted vegetables or perhaps use it as a dressing for sliced napa cabbage with scallions.:) I had some Apricot Mustard left over from another dish and the combination was great - I served it on the side.

Rob's Basic Baked Rice

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:17:05 -0400

My DH found this recipe in a Paul Prudhomme book and has adjusted it to our preferences. Great side for just about anything (especially grilled foods) with a light flavor - which doesn't end up competing with your other dishes. Really easy to make, just toss it in the oven and forget about it (so to speak) while you work on other things. :) We tend to like the gorgonzola cheese lately, but feta also works really nicely. It all depends on what your main dish flavor is and your preference. Cooking times can vary - we find 70 minutes works perfectly for us. -- posted by Mommy Diva

Wheat Berry Salad With Red Fruit

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:42:14 -0400

For this sweet and tart salad, wheat berries are blended with cranberries, apples and pecans and tossed in a raspberry vinaigrettea winning combination. A perfect side dish to take to a potluck or simply serve it over a bed of peppery arugula for vegan lunch. Recipe from Eating Well March/April 2007. NOTE: cooking time is resting time. If you wish to sweeten your salad up a bit but don't have Agave, feel free to sub 1 T of honey. Also of note, using peaches and mango in place of the red fruit (thereby making this wheat berry salad with ORANGE fruit) would be delightful!!!! This salad is even better on day 2, so it's a great make ahead recipe. -- posted by JanuaryBride

I love roasted tomatillos! This salsa is whiz bang easy to whip up, doubles & triples well & have survived freezing well too. This dry pan roasting is way easier than the usual under the broiler method I have used for a hundred years - thanks www.herbivoracious@gmail.com ! I leave out the cilantro & oregano if freezing - seems better to add them in fresh when reheating with a dab of oil in the saucepan.

Italian Hamburger Veggie Soup Like Olive Garden Soup

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:33:02 -0400

This recipe was one I came up through trial and error after eating at olive garden last year on my birthday. We don't eat out much and we love homemade soups. I also don't personally care much for canned soup. I had been looking for a new soup to try and after I liked the soup at olive garden so much I decided to give this a try. I personally used a 50/50 mix of ground beef and venison burger for this but use what ever you like. I also like to make my own stocks but I found the Progresso Beef broth works very well for this when I am time crunched. I have done this on the stove top but it works great in the crock pot too. I grow and preserve my own veggies and freeze some soup ready mixed veggies but you can just as easily buy mixed veggies if you wish. Canned works ok for stove top but turns to mush in the crock pot, use frozen for that. Don't feel intimidated by the long list of ingredients, this throws together in about 15-20min and in the crock pot its almost no effort at all. We serve it with a fresh salad and breadsticks so its just like the resteraunt soup, salad, and breadsticks special. I buy frozen breadsticks that are just brown and serve. -- posted by victoriansweets_cakencandy

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

Roasted Winter Squash Soup

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:58:55 -0500

Pumpkin and winter squash are so nutritious & versatile. I just love them. Rich taste, full of beta carotene, filling but not fattening & inexpensive - gotta love these vegies! Used a Golden Butternut to make this soup last night. It was the first use of our version of Sherry Peppers (habaneros, cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, black peppercorns in dry sherry) - turned out mighty well. I subbed hot pepper & dry sherry into this recipe as Bermuda Sherry Pepper is hard to come by. The squash cooked down to a beautiful thick orange base that did not need pureeing - the carrot bits were soft too but added a bit of texture which was appealing. Keeps well for reheating in microwave without separating too. Posting at request of DN who wants the recipe after tasting. We served with hot fresh Recipe#118283 made with rosemary & sultanas. -- posted by Buster's friend

Peachy Fruit and Yogurt Shake

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:51:15 -0500

I adapted this from Better Homes & Gardens Diabetic cookbook. I have changed a few things. They say in the testing kitchen, they discovered if they added a little vanilla extract to the shake, they didn't need a sweetner. Feel free to add a little honey or sweetner if you feel it needs it. If you partially freeze the banana and yogurt, you can leave out the ice. -- posted by Sharon123

Serve with a quick mix of sour cream (I use fat-free), chives, and bacon bits (try turkey bacon!) If you're not on low-carb...add some brown sugar! -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Ginger-Garlic Shrimp With Tangy Tomato Sauce by Kerry Simon

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 09:42:10 -0500

"The marinade for these shrimp is a piquant mix of lemon juice, garlic, ginger, basil and parsely - which would taste just as wonderful with chicken or pork. The dipping sauce is almost chutney-like with chunks of whole tomatoes, lemongrass and lime juice add tang." Chef Kerry Simon is the creator of this dish - F&W Newsletter - October, 2009. When we made these for a small group - we served it with herbed angel hair pasta with Parmesan and a green leafy salad.It takes 2 hours to marinate - we prepared it early in the day and served it about 3 o'clock - absolutely wonderful! ;) -- posted by Manami
