Wild/Brown Rice & Barley Mushroom Pilaif

This is a recipe using quick-cook rices and barley, but you could sub. regular cooking grains too. Just adjust the cooking times for the longer version.

Corn/Seafood-Coconut Chowder

This is a chowder made with low-fat coconut milk. It has cumin, garlic, lemongrass, cilantro, lime juice, and fresh minced gingerroot, jalapeno peppers for flavor. The addition of your choices of seafood are crab meat, bay scallops, medium shrimps, oysters, or lobster meat! I use a combo of shrimps and crab. Leave out the salt completely and you'll never miss it!

Rocky Point Clam Chowder

This is NOT the way to make it with canned clams and clam juice, but this is what I had to work with this time. It should be made with FRESH quahogs, 1 1/2 Qts. of them or more to taste with their juices. The sodium content will then be greatly reduced!! Also, reduce the milk crackers to 3 ozs. You can reduce the salt pork to 4 ozs. too!! I made this for someone who insisted on the recipe as above and when I then came to calculate, I was mortified by the fat and sodium. I will NEVER make it like this again!

Jumbo Ravioli with Fresh Veggie Meat Sauce

Use well-made cheese ravioli or fresh made to center the savory tomato sauce on. Any combo of fresh vegetables of your choice could be added for more variety like baby spinach leaves or roasted red sweet peppers. It doesn't need any salt at all for flavor. Enjoy!!!

    Italian
    I should have been born in Italy! This is my attempt to put my favorites together. They are lower fat, lower sodium, and uses some whole grains instead of white. Most of them won't be meat-based. They will include seafood and lots of fresh herbs. You will see, I LOVE hot, crushed red pepper.
     
    Snacks
    As long as it is healthy, Why NOT!!! portion control is the key to being able to enjoy snacks on a daily basis.
     
    Meat Main Dishes
     
    Seafood
    Use the freshest you can find and DON"T over cook it. Seafood is a luxury and you should spend whatever you can for a good piece of fish!
     
    Side Dishes
     
    Desserts
    These are both fruit-based and decadent as well! Chocolate is my favorite flavor and I want to have it! You can lower calories here and I will when I can, but sometimes you just need to have your cake and eat it too!
     
    Sandwiches/Salads
     
    Fruits/Breakfast
    I believe that every day should start with fresh fruits! A good smoothie can be a whole meal also. Specially made pies CAN be for breakfast! And a hot cup of tea goes with every choice here!
     
    Cookies/Candy/Teas-Pies & Cakes
    Be very careful in this cookbook! Most of them are deadly! I've added teas here too, so it will be easier to pair them for company and holidays!
     
    Soups
     
    Muffins/Breads
    All 100% whole grain. All low-fat and low salt. All high fiber! Don't make anything from scratch without making them healthier!! Load them up with as many fruits/veggies, and seeds,nuts as you can stand! Experimenting creates something special for company. Serve with every meal for good health!
