An open faced goat cheese and tomato sandwich. Goes great with a small bed of mixed greens and vinaigrette.
Just like fried green tomatoes, but sweeter and firmer--and more available!
Not everything in this is in the nutritional info for the recipe because I couldn't find their nutritional information. There is also grilled zucchini in oil and a small line of light ranch dressing.
This recipe can easily be adapted for the ingredients you have on hand, but these made an amazing wrap, if a bit oily.
This is the final installment of kid-friendly Indian dishes. Obviously this dish was inspired by my insistence that people, and in particular kids, like to eat things off of sticks. I also wanted to experiment with BBQing seitan, operating on the rationale that baked seitan tastes pretty darn good so how much different would it be to BBQ it? So, can you BBQ seitan? The answer is yes, but with two caveats. First, you really have to keep the heat low. Seitan is not meat and thus does not ooze fat and blood and whatever else comes out of flesh when you cook it. Therefore, if you go firing up the BBQ like you are grilling a steak, then you, my friend, are going to end up with a dry, crunchy, and altogether unpleasant meal. Second, you need to regularly turn and baste the seitan to keep it hydrated. The end result was a very meat-like skewer. Maybe too meat like. They were a little chewy, but the kids absolutely loved them--especially because they could poke each other with the skewers when the meal was over.
A healthy, but flavorful chicken salad made with a savory yogurt dressing.
I love simplicity AND taco bell! This is a VERY simple recipie that has almost no sodium and very low fat and calories.
I pre-chop onions and zucchini and keep in container for easy prep. I spray a bit of olive oil into pan, add onions and zukes and cook. For liquid, either add a tbsp of water or some salsa. When onions translucent, I add mushrooms and spinach which I buy pre bagged and washed from TraderJoes. The spinach will deflate after about 3-4 minutes. Once spinach is deflated, I add a cup of eggwhites. Let cook through until almost solid and then scramble. It makes a big bowl of veggies and eggs give a bunch of protein.
