I love eating at Chipotle and even if I get the burrito without the tortilla all of the extras and the serving sizes of everything packs on a lot of calories. While I love the taste of their rice it is not brown rice, which I prefer to use. I also find it much cheaper to make this at home, rather than buying it. I prefer to make my own salsa rather than buying it in a jar. But of course you can substitute if you prefer. But this one tastes great! It is always a hit at cookouts and with my family. My secret ingredients to the beans are thyme and sage. They add so much flavor. I attended a vegetarian cooking class and the instructor talked about adding those two herbs to everything to give a richer and more satisfying taste. This was the first thing that I tried them in and it is delicious. This recipe is not very difficult to make nor is it time consuming. What will take the most time is the rice, which can be made ahead. I am very much an “add a little of this and that” person, so I did find it hard to pin down measurements!

I got this receipe from the mayo clinic website. I was looking for heart healthy high fiber foods for people with high blood pressure and colon problems. This is our family's favorite meal. Even the kids love it. Try adding fat free refried beans, serve it on the side or on the fajita. The mayo clinic website calculates the calories at 307, Protein at 34g, Carbs at 32, Cholesterol at 51mg, Sodium at 494mg and Fiber at 11g. The recipe calculater came out a little differently.

A tasty variation on the traditional popper. My hubby likes these for superbowl sunday. You can also vary the recipe by adding 2 -4 T fat free sharp cheddar shreds to the cream cheese mixture. Also you can use panko crumbs for a crispier coating. Make these at least once before serving to company, as it takes a knack to get them to come out nice looking.

Most people are intimidated by the thought of making chile rellenos from scratch. They're easy to make! And foolproof -- especially when using canned fire-roasted chiles. Still, nothing beats a fresh fire-roasted chile! After tasting these and hearing all of the praise you'll receive, you'll find every excuse in the book to make them again and again! They're sensational with the sauce given here, or pico de gallo and sour cream. Submitted by CHANDLERT |
