Great for cold nights! This "stew" will warm you up from the inside out!
This recipe was given to me by a co-worker. My husband loved it. It is one that you can put together for a dinner party and impress those that are hard to please. The aroma while cooking is delightful!
I love eating at Chipotle and even if I get the burrito without the tortilla all of the extras and the serving sizes of everything packs on a lot of calories. While I love the taste of their rice it is not brown rice, which I prefer to use. I also find it much cheaper to make this at home, rather than buying it. I prefer to make my own salsa rather than buying it in a jar. But of course you can substitute if you prefer. But this one tastes great! It is always a hit at cookouts and with my family. My secret ingredients to the beans are thyme and sage. They add so much flavor. I attended a vegetarian cooking class and the instructor talked about adding those two herbs to everything to give a richer and more satisfying taste. This was the first thing that I tried them in and it is delicious. This recipe is not very difficult to make nor is it time consuming. What will take the most time is the rice, which can be made ahead. I am very much an “add a little of this and that” person, so I did find it hard to pin down measurements! Fast Food Category
A flavor powerhouse of protien!! Cooked with no meat or meat by products. Easy to prepare by putting it all in a crock pot.
Serve with whole wheat tortillas and a home made Pico De Gallo and it is a surefire hit for the whole family.
Also the left overs are really good to mash up the next day with some lime juice and serve with tortilla chips!
No time to cook? Try this quick little number! Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done and sure beats a bag of potato chips, nutritionally! ;-) [Created 2007-09-05.]
A breakfast shake - you can substitute cantaloupe, or strawberries for the banana. However for the other fruits do not use vanilla extract!!!
I modified this from the Ellen Show (10-05-10). Made it for the Superbowl and put it out with the "other" queso. It ran out first. It's a great faux cheese for nachos. The uses are endless. You can add anything to it... Don't forget to add your chips to your tracker. ;-)
A baked fish dish. You get to choose the heat. Use mild salsa for a little heat and extra hot salsa for lots of heat! Serve with rice, black beans, warm tortillas and lime Margaritas for a festive meal!"
Chicken fajitas with lots of vegetables and a delicious flavor from the addition of spices, garlic, cilantro and lime. Pairs well with tortillas and pico de gallo.
This is a modified version of a recipe on allrecipes.com that I enjoy greatly and that gives you a lot of protein, a lot of taste, and very few calories. You could make it much faster and easier with pre-prepared chicken breast, first sauteed with the onions and garlic in olive oil. You would increase the amount of broth by 1/2 cup or so and wouldn't use water in that scenario.
Delicious, full of wonderful flavor and color. It looks complex, because of all the ingredients, but is really quite simple to make. I cook the chicken, pasta, peppers and sauce at the same time. If this is too much work, do in stages.
These are great for a night where you just have to have nachos, but with a lot less fuss and fat.
Deliciously spicy and filling yet low calorie this chili is chock full of vitamins and minerals from healthy organic veggies.
