Grape Recipes

This homemade alternative to store bought drinks is intended to replace electrolytes and carbohydrates during/after endurance workouts or exercise in hot, humid weather.

As the sweet grapes, creamy cheese, and hint of salty fish hit your mouth you will fall in love with this quick and easy appetizer.

We had a bumper crop of grape tomatoes this year so I was searching for some recipes to use them up. Found the base of this recipe on COOKS.com & tweaked it to our tastes.
The result is a light, healthy summer dinner.
Enjoy!

Sounds like an odd combo, but amazingly delicious!!

This recipe is one of my favorites from Health.com and Cooking Light.

The original Grape Salad was delicious, but too fattening because of cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and brown sugar. I thought I would try my version which is simple to make.

When chicken goes on sale I buy in bulk and batchcook it in the crockpot or oven, with rosemary & thyme; then debone and freeze the meat in recipe-sized portions. When grapes go on sale, I make this salad! The rosemary & thyme add a lovely flavor to future dishes such as this salad. This recipe is also a great way to use up some of that frozen turkey meat leftover from Thanksgiving and Christmas.

• Red & purple grapes instead of green for better nutrition, reservatrol.
• Walnuts instead of almonds for omega 3's, but either are good.
• Turmeric for it's anti-inflamation and anti-cancer properties.

My favorite way to serve it is chilled overnight, eaten on a bed of shredded Romaine the next day.

this was a kitchen experiment - trying to eat some veg for breakfast, and no cheese! So I ended up with a frittata with plain yogurt.. and it was delicious! We were running low on eggs, so I only used one here... but you could easily add another to make a thicker frittata

Had tons of concord grapes that a friend gave us, so tried this muffin recipe to use up 2 cups grapes. Does take time to halve and seed the grapes, but well worth it.

This is a great desert or snack. To Spark the recipe use 1/2 cup of Slenda instead of sugar.

wash the rice and soak it for 30 min, mix the tomatoes,parsley, cilantro, garlic, and onion in the food processor, rinse the rice and mix it with mixture with a spoone, add the oil salt and black pepper, Take a leaf in your left hand (stem side up) and grab a pinch of stuffing in the right hand (about a tablespoon) and roll the stuffing a little in your fingers to shape it, then place it in the middle of the leaf by the stem.

Take one of the bottom edges and turn it in to the center, then the other bottom edge, then the same for the other two leaf parts, now place it on a hard surface to roll it up into the middle leaf.

This gets easier as you get used to the portions and leaf size. (Some leaves may have only 2 corners and a middle part, so just fold it up pretty much the same, minus the 2 bottom parts.) If you have leaves with holes, just use part of a broken leaf to patch it up.)

Now, place them one by one in the pot as you roll them, seam side down. You will have 2 levels if you're making 40-50.

After you have finished rolling and setting, sprinkle lightly with sea salt over the top, and a drizzle of olive oil, then cover with the remaining small/broken leaves.

Add enough water+ tomatoe paste to cover the bottom layer. Then add a flat plate or top to press down on the Dolmades to keep them from unrolling while cooking.

Heat until boiling, cover with a tight fitting lid, and reduce heat to medium (or a simmer) for 45 minutes.

Enjoy :)

A quick and less painless way to roll your own grape leaves for a light plentiful snack or appetizer! Rolling may take a while, but it's fun and worthwhile. This grape leaf recipe includes meat.

This is made from fresh grapes right from the vine.

A lovely, light, fluffy, lavender, dessert perfect for Easter! Serve with Custard Sauce, or by itself!

Stuffed grape leaves are not only delicious, but are fun to make. In my kitchen, my family stuffs and wraps the grape leaves together - even the children. It can be time consuming for one person, but with many, the time goes by very quickly and you are on to eating this delectable appetizer!

This dish is very unique. It can be cooked in several ways depending on the famous ingredients in every country and they are all delicious. This one I have learned from my mom and always wanted to know how many calories does it contain. Well, it is healthy, tasty and yummy.
