You can use Broccoli or other veggies for the green beans, and you can substitute other meats for the beef.
This was originally a sausage dish that I make, but I replaced the smoked sausage with chicken to make it lighter and healthier!
This is a great veggie main, and the lefotver rice makes great faux-meatballs if you use a glutinous rice to begin with. But it's great with any variety of long grain rice, so enjoy! In Egypt, this is also served with elbow macaroni mixed in, but I had it both ways when I was there and I find I prefer it without the pasta (it made it too heavy for my tastes). I've also used the tomato sauce as a pasta sauce before--it's a nice low-cal change of pace!
I make no claims to authentic enchiladas here, this is just my method! But, they're a great "clean out the fridge" food that's pretty enough for company to boot! You can sub beans for the meat, or do a mixture, add any veggies you like (corn and bell peppers, oh yeah!...even cooked cubed potatoes/yams or winter squash). Try it with kale or chard instead of spinach, basically use your imagination!
A simple filling quiche with a Greek flavor. Make a hearty breakfast for four, or make a light snack or appetizer for 8 to 12, but any way you slice it, this quiche rocks!
My kids beg for this great pasta salad and I normally take this to summer pot-lucks. It's always a huge hit and it's so easy to make that I can wait until the last minute. I created this recipe from some ingredients I had on hand one day when I realized I didn’t have anything planned for dinner and it was too hot out to use the stove or oven for very long. We didn’t have any bread for sandwiches (a favorite in our house in the summer) and I didn’t want to run to the store. If you follow this recipe exactly, you will have a very large bowl that will easily feed 10 or more people for dinner. It’s a colorful dish that can be used as a side or a meal by itself. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my family and friends do.
Chicken fried rice with veggies for a more filling, less fattening meal that is lower in sodium than traditional Chinese Fried Rice.
I know there are a lot of sweet tea drinkers out there but I, for one, am striving to cut back on sugar. So I wanted to calculate a gallon of tea with only 1 cup of sugar. So I decided I would share this with all of my friends here on SparkPeople! ;-}
use individual ready made crust to help with portion control. You could also use light blueberry pie filling and light crusts.
I found this recipe submitted to allrecipes.com by Cathy Larkins, but varied it by eliminating the egg yolks . Its a very hearty and fun to eat!!
