I'm allergic to mint so this is my alternative to Tabouli. This is a great fun colorful salad to serve with your summer BBQ. Low in calories and easy to make.
Serve with vegetable sticks, pita bread, and/or whole grain crackers, or use as a spread for wraps and sandwiches.
This is a lower sodium, low fat, and generally "diet friendly" version of Spanish rice and beans dish. The chicken broth replaces the oil normally used. The broth, along with the veggies, beans, & salsa, helps maintain moisture and really adds to the overall flavor. This dish is also packed with essential vitamins and minerals! I hope you enjoy it. :)
This is a yummy refreshing side dish packed with protein and fiber but low in fat!!!
Yummy! Equals 2 servings. Half the recipe is 1 IP food & 2 tsp oil allotment
A recipe of my Grandmother's. When I asked her for the recipe, she tells me there is no recipe. She states that all you have to do is make your white sauce (I double the recipe and add shredded cheddar cheese). Mix in your frozen vegetables and make the croutons! This is served at Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas at my Grandma's house. I do not know the actual name of the recipe but we have always called it crumbly corn.
Still tweaking this recipe to find a sweet, and hopefully somewhat healthier version of a midwestern cornbread.
I recently (10 days ago) went vegan (I occasionally slip slightly into the vegetarian side - no actual animal products but a few "health food" products with animal derivatives) from full-blown omnivore. I always thought I could go vegetarian if I wanted or wasn't influenced by those around me b/c I like a lot of things that, for example, many meat-devouring men (women, too), most kids, and most ppl in general just can't stand. Ex: I really like brussel sprouts and ppl hate it when I cook them when they're around - especially @ work!! I was inspired by "very meat-devouring" brother-in-law who went vegan June '09. His cholesterol dropped 100 points!!! So, I decided to get healthy and do it the "easy" and yummy way: just get rid of animals, eliminate soda (maybe occasional), and limit sugary sweets (that's the HARD one).
So, I'm studying overnight and my tummy's growling. So, what do I do? I headed to the cabinets, fridge, & freezer while ignoring everything that I didn't buy. Hmmm.... "I'll have 2 of these Garden Patty burgers, no bun, and, oh yeah, I need to use that sweet potato while it's still good and I wanted to make fries with it. So, I know, I'll make some fries w/ the burger patties." The RESULT is BELOW in yumm-alicious form:
**Very yummy, too!!
Using canned sliced potatoes makes this recipe an easy side dish to throw together for company.
