Greenfield Village Dandelion Soup

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:10:03 -0400

This soup is served at the Taste of History restaurant at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. I found this recipe on a recipe card on display inside the restaurant. You can substitute spinach for the dandelion greens if they are not available. I usually add more vegetable stock (about 2 to 4 cups) and more corn. Dried herbs can substitute for the fresh--use 4 teaspoons dried basil and 2 teaspoons dried oregano. -- posted by doobtones #2

Pumpkin Soymilk Smoothie

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:51:14 -0400

I had a can of pumpkin puree (leftover from #396754) to use up, so I whipped up -- or rather, blended -- this simple smoothie for breakfast. Increase the honey (or other alternative sweetener) if you want a sweeter flavor. Throw in more pumpkin spice if you want it, well, spicier. -- posted by Kristine at Recipezaar

Tortilla Soup

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:15:46 -0500

This recipe came from my high school Home Ec. class (which I took 19 years ago). I have never seen another tortilla soup like it. I describe this soup as having a taste somewhere between salsa, tomato soup, and spaghetti sauce. It is very simple to make. I use 2 cups of water and two chicken boullion cubes instead of a can of chicken broth. Also we like garlic so I usually use about 3 cloves of garlic. To make this soup vegetarian don't add the beef and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. -- posted by ~Sherry~

Thai Butternut Squash and Corn Bisque

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:02:54 -0500

Ready to shake up the Thanksgiving standards? This is a great way to do it: posted in Barbara Fisher's blog, Tigers and Strawberries (http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/). The flavors of this soup are amazingit is somewhere between the tangy-spicy herbal flavor of Tom Kha Gai and the best butternut squash or sweet potato soup you have ever had with a little Thai curry mixed in for fun. It is spicy, sweet, tangy and rich all at the same time without being heavy or overly filling. And it's vegan. How can it be velvety smooth without much in the way of rich coconut milk and absolutely no cream? It was the addition of the potato that does it. This is a trick she learned when she was cooking for vegan clients as a personal chef. A good creamy boiling potato like a Red Bliss or Yukon Gold will thicken soups and make them velvety smooth if they are pureed, all without adding fat or any dairy products at all. -- posted by East Wind Goddess

Apricot-Walnut Oatmeal

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:10:15 -0500

My husband and I eat this every morning M-F. The oatmeal is low sodium, low sugar, high fiber. The apricots are high Vit A (beta carotene), the walnuts are high Vit E. Without honey, it's quite bland. Honey, I feel, is a better choice than sugar because it is antiseptic and is thought to help with allergies, from which my DH does suffer. -- posted by DonitaK

Sweet and Spicy Brussels Sprouts

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:17:44 -0500

I received the inspiration for this dish while trying to figure out what to do with a bag of frozen brussels sprouts I found in the freezer. My husband and I both enjoyed the end result. Adjust the ingredients to your individual tastes. Leave the bacon out if you want it vegetarian. You could use fresh brussels sprouts as well; they would probably need to be cooked for a few minutes first. -- posted by sunflowerseed

Heavenly Grilled Corn!

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:33:12 -0500

My husband fired up the grill a few nights ago, and as always my job was to come up with a good vegetable or two. The Mississippi yellow corn looked so fresh and fat at the Farmer's Market that I decided to make up a recipe. Big success! We'll be having this often. The stripping of the husks and re-wrapping is a bit "fiddly," I admit, but the presentation is attractive, so worth doing if you are entertaining at a barbecue. -- posted by La Dilettante

Salsa

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:15:02 -0500

A mild tomato and sweet pepper salsa with cilantro and lime. Easy and fast to make using a food processor, but can be prepared by chopping the vegetables by hand if a food processor is not available. For a thicker salsa squeeze some of the juice out of the peppers and onions after processing and before adding the other ingredients and strain some of the liquid from the canned tomatoes before adding them to the mix. -- posted by Chef #578370

Peanut Sauce

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:48:02 -0500

After trying all kinds of recipes for a basic sauce, this is my own version. My boys will eat almost any veggie stir-fried or blanched and served with this sauce! I use a coffee grinder set aside especially for nuts. You can use a blender or handheld nut chopper. It has a great texture smooth or chunky. I like to offer chopped cilantro and lime zest or juice when dishing up the veggies, meat or noodles and sauce. -- posted by joycooking

Fire-Roasted Pepper Salsa

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:39:30 -0500

If you like hot food, this may be for you! I found this recipe on the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/fire-roasted-pepper-salsa.html In 25 Techniques for Grilling (Harvard Common Press, 2009), author Ardie A. Davis makes a compelling case for this fire-roasted pepper salsa: it makes a great appetizer over cream cheese, a delicious side dish, or a complement to grilled foods. The trick to getting the peppers really fire roasted is to have the grill grate as close to the heat source as possible. On a charcoal grill, this means putting something like bricks, hardwood, or more charcoal in the bottom of your grill, so when you dump the coals in, they will sit higher, nearer the grill grate. -- posted by SassiFras

Sneaky Chef Green Juice

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:48:00 -0500

This can be used to boost nutritional value for lots of recipes! Use in chocolate pudding, milk shakes, green icings, casseroles, etc. Green juice is an extremely nutrient dense food. One tablespoon is equivalent to eating 1/4 cup of spinach leaves. It contains iron, calcium, and enzymes for digestion, as well as chlorophyll and carotens for disease fighting power. And just think, your kids, husband, guests, etc. won't even know! :) This recipe was gleaned from The Sneaky Chef cookbook by Missy Chase Lapine. -- posted by Sharon123

Warm comfort food. Someone gave me this recipe years ago. To provide contrast, serve with something crunchy and/or something colorful.

Broad Bean, Freekeh and Mint Salad

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:33:23 -0500

I saw this on Good Chef Bad Chef recently. I haven't made it, but love grains and middle eastern style salads, so I'm guessing I'll like this. I'm saving it here until I hunt down the freekeh to make it with. Freekeh is whole wheat harvested green. -- posted by JustJanS

Shredded Brussels Sprouts & Scallions (Gourmet)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:37:21 -0500

An easy and delicious recipe from Gourmet Magazine (March 1996). You can make this ahead of time and rewarm before serving (even in the microwave!). Perfect for Thanksgiving or a holiday meal. Another very good twist on this recipe is to replace the lime juice with balsamic vinegar and the scallions with shallots. Yum! -- posted by blucoat

Soba Noodle Salad With Peanut Sauce

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:48:34 -0500

From Betty Crocker; the preparation time includes two hours post-cooking refrigeration. I'm posting the recipe as listed, but I made some changes: I used French-style frozen green beans, lite soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and sugar-free syrup in place of the honey. I didn't have chili paste, so I used extra-hot salsa instead. -- posted by brokenburner

Imitation Meatloaf (Vegetarian)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:55:52 -0500

I found this recipe on allrecipes. com and I want to try it as I dislike ground meat and so I haven't had much luck with traditional meatloaf. I am hoping this turns out well and I am keeping it for future reference here. -- posted by arualanne

Vegan Meatloaf

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:03:21 -0500

Although this seems very "brown-shapeless-tasteless-vegan-food", it's really not. Otherwise known as Nut-Loaf, Mushroom Loaf, Vegetable Loaf or many other titles, it's a great basic to throw together on those "meat-and-potato" nights.

My kids used to help me make this when they were very young. It's a much healthier alternative to real pop. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif
