Appetizers / Soups / Salads Recipes (Most Popular)
Great with a stir-fry. The kids all love it if I don't make it too hot. I like it spicy.
This recipe has been in our family for years. It has the perfect balance of garlic & onions.
I absolutely love this salad! You make it the day before you plan to serve it. It makes a LOT so the calories really don't turn out to be too high considering the ingredients! Can be used year-round but we love it in the spring/summer. This recipe uses light ingredients and you cannot tell a difference. If you want to use full-fat it will not hurt, but will change the nutrition stats!
You can substitute chicken bouillon for the beef bouillon. You can also add tofu for protein. This soup may be frozen in individual portions to enjoy anytime as a fast food.

Also, the instructions here are for steaming the dumplings, but I also had success pan-frying them in just enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Cover and cook in a single layer until the bottoms are deeply golden, flip using a metal spatula, cover and cook until the other side is browned.
This is for people who doesnt like to eat sprouted mung dal/gram. The taste of the mint with the sprouted gram is really good.
Whole wheat pasta, fresh vegetables, bright lemon and zippy Italian dressing make this a yummy light dinner or side dish at a potluck!
Serves 6 as a side dish or 4 as a main.
This is totally an 'out of the pantry' recipe, so to speak....just created as I went, with stuff on hand....
I needed to check the calorie count on this recipe which I'd gotten from the internet.
The original recipe called for slightly larger amounts of chickpeas and squash, 8 leaves of mint and a handful of coriander instead of basil and oregano. I began with the amount of squash I'd brought home from the green market and modified the chickpea amount to fit that. I didn't have mint or coriander on hand when I made the recipe, so I made the substitution. The flavor is different but I doubt there's any difference in calorie count.
The cooking time stated is for all prep,cooking the squash, using canned chickpeas.
If you cook the chickpeas from their dried state the cooking time will be longer.
Don't buy a bag of those high calorie chips, when you can have warm toasty ones right from the oven, easy as 1-2-3!
