A nice single-serving veggie miso soup with angel hair pasta to make it a little more filling than plain miso soup.
I got this from FoodWishes.com and have made a few adjustments over time. I use breast meat instead of wings (increase chicken to 5lbs if wings) and increased the amount of flour.
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!
From the World Vegetarian Classics cookbook and also known as OSENG OSENG TEMPE this delicious favorite dish is from Java, Indonesia.
Using Organic Shallots from your local farmers' market in season fall/winter this recipe is with Organic Tempeh, Orgamic Lime Juice, Organic Agave Syrup, and even Organic Dried Chili Pepper Flakes and Organic Soy Sauces (I use low sodium in this recipe) can be found at your local health food store or supermarket.
A delicious chocolate, peanut butter, and oatmeal treat always popular at a party. NOT a diet food. This recipe with it's accompanying directions produces a smoother end product than others I have tried as the sugar is allowed to dissolve properly and does not retain a "grainy" texture
My FAVORITE. I love sushi but all Japanese restaurants in my area charge outrageous prices, so I learned to make my own in a fun, easy way that only costs about $3.00 a roll (even when buying pre-cooked ingredients.) This recipe makes about 6 big pieces, which always fill me up. If you need more of a meal, try adding a teriyaki chicken appetizer.
WARNING: This recipe, as is, makes approximately 144 dumplings.
Yummy, healthy, steamed dumplings, just like the Asian restaurants make (well, almost).
You will need some sort of 'steamer' to cook these. I used a metal, multi-layer steamer I purchased through a local Asian grocery store.
This recipe is for make-ahead frozen lunches. Makes 9 individual lunches that are frozen and taken out as you need them, then microwaved.
Throw together some fresh veggies and spices for a comforting soup with a kick.
As seen on the Food Network show "Good Eats" with Alton Brown...An easy to fix meal using ramen noodles and shrimp.
Even my carnivorous teenagers love this warming comfort food on a cold winter's day with crusty bread, or brown rice.
By steaming the vegetables and rice, and boiling the shrimp, this "steamfry" is much lower in fat than a traditional stirfry, but just as delicious and so easy!!!
Adapted from Everyday Food, September 2009. Changed the coconut milk to light, used low sodium soy sauce, and changed the jalapenos to Anaheim Chiles because I have an abundance of them in the back yard! Also lowered the servings from 6 to 4
Have left over cabbage, mushrooms etc? Put it all in a stir-fry over rice or spaghetti squash.
This is a little spicy and the orignal recipe from allrecipes.com calls for peanuts to be added, but I left them out to reduce the calories.
I like to cook the chicken in the salad dressing. It gives it a great flavor.
Just be sure to add the calories.
Finally, fried rice that is healthy! My family loves this alternative!
This tasted delicious! In spite of the long list of ingredients and lenghy-looking preparation, it all went together rather quickly and was ready to eat in about 30 minutes. We loved the spicy/minty taste of the chillis, the crunchy barely cooked freshness of the vegetables and the exotic slimyness of the noodles. Mmmmm!
