This is a simple supper that is not only delicious, but also good for you! Miso broth poaches the chicken and steams the broccoli that rests on top of it, preventing it from being overcooked. The chicken can be served in shallow bowls on udon or soba noodles with some of the broth and broccoli.

I'm playing around with Jambalaya recipes, trying to get close to the one I've been making my family using a seasoning that is no longer available. This one uses a cajun seasoning that I made - recipe can be found her on spark recipes.

This is definitely spicy, adjust the cajun seasoning and tabasco to your palette.

This is really good with a piece of french bread to sop up the juice.

This humus is completely raw which triples the health benefit of eating Chickpeas (Garbanzo beans). Our recipe is a good source of cholesterol-lowering soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Chickpeas will stabilize blood sugar levels after a meal, making these beans a perfect choice for people with diabetes, hypoglycemia, or insulin resistance.

Garbanzo beans (chickpeas) provide an excellent source of molybdenum. They are a
very good source of folic acid, fiber, and manganese. They are also a good source of
protein, as well as minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium. As a good
source of fiber, garbanzo beans can help lower cholesterol and improve blood sugar
levels.

This recipe comes from "More Bread Machine Magic". This cookbook has become my go-to for any bread products!

I purchase a 4oz jar of Red Star Bread Machine Yeast for approx $5 from Walmart and it lasts me at least a month!

These sticks go quick! The kids snack on them and I have even rolled them thin and baked them in pretzel shapes which everyone LOVED! I pair the breadsticks with a light soup and salad. *YUMMY*

I spray the dough with PAM then place in a ziploc bag in the fridge to make later in the week and it has worked out good.

Egg Wash is made from whisking together one egg and one tsp water.

The following recipe will make a medium sized recipe.

1 stick equals 1 serving.

Now don't forget to check your dough after 8 minutes, scrape down, and add water if needed.

This is a recipe that I have been experimenting with and tweaking for years. Always a family favorite and they didn't even notice the difference when I re-invented it using low fat ingredients and turkey instead of beef.

Brought To Your Kitchen From SparkPeople Member: LBBROCK195

I got this recipe from my sister, and it is wonderful. It can be made the traditional way, but it also works well in a bread machine. It makes one standard size (roughly 8"X4" or slightly larger) loaf.

If you don't have vital wheat gluten, substitute more flour. The texture will not be quite as good, but it will work and tastes fine.

My husband is salt sensitive, so I do not add salt. The original recipe called for 2 heaping teaspoons salt, which I think is excessive anyway, but add some if you like.

I use bulk yeast. If you use the packets, two of them equal about 4.5 teaspoons yeast.

Most of the prep time is the rise time. You need to be around to check on it, but you can do other things.
