I found this recipe on the back of a bag of Martin's brand lentils. I slightly modified to my tastes. I added no extra salt and incorporated only pepper and garlic powder as my seasonings. Also the serving size is "guesstimated". I ladled myself a one cup serving so the calories and such may be less than the serving size listed. This is a great way to get veggies and protein in a low calorie, low fat way.
I had an abundance of potatoes and herbs from my CSA farm share, so created this recipe to make use of them.
I love fennel (aka anise), so was excited to find this recipe in a mailing sent to me by Giant food store promoting Nature's Promise organic produce. I always keep a container of Nature's Promise organic baby spinach on hand to use in my green smoothies, as well as in my crustless spinach & blue cheese quiche!
This recipe is from Guideposts magazine.You could addd a little mozzarella on top, putting it under the broiler for a few seconds to melt the cheese, but it's delicious on it's own, too! I used Panera Bread French Baguette for the nutritional info, and included instructions to make bruschetta from a fresh loaf of bread.
I used a baked mac & cheese recipe from SP as a base for this recipe, adding Canadian bacon and chopped broccoli to make a meal of it. The addition of chopped onion gives it just a bit more "zing".
My family loves hummus, and this couldn't be easier to make! Play with the recipe to find the flavors you like best; some like it with garlic, some with basil or other herbs. I use organic canned beans; if you don't mind taking a little extra time, cooking dried beans yourself is even better!
I developed this recipe out of a need to use an eggplant and leftover chicken that I had on hand. It's a versatile dish; add whatever vegetables and spices you have available and think you would like in it; replace the chicken with sausage, or leave out the meat and add chickpeas or other beans for a vegetarian entree.
Quick, nutritious and delicious, this recipe is courtesy of Vita-Mix. I used vegetable broth for a vegetarian soup. Try adding a little onion and other veggies like spinach, carrots, leeks or fennel for different flavors -- it's a great way to use up those limp veggies in your crisper!
The calories and fat in this recipe may appear to be high, but most of that comes from the healthy Omega-3's in the walnuts. So, enjoy in moderation and without guilt!
Created to use some of the zucchini and summer squash from our garden.
