Butternut Squash Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2009
Absolutely delicous. This will become a new, but low fat comfort food for me. It tastes much more caloric than it is. Roasting the squash is a must as it gives a fuller flavor, and the skin peels off so easily! As did many others I used real chicken broth, 4 cups, (organic & low sodium due to high blood pressure) and I think that also adds to the rich flavor. I also doubled the cayenne pepper and used only 8 ounces low fat cream cheese. Was glad to read reviews that this freezes well.

Stuffed Green Peppers

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
A great all-in-one dish vegetarian meal! As others did I used this as a start and made modifications with what I had on hand. I usually don't buy green peppers but I neighbor gave us some from their garden and they turned out great with all the other flavors from the stuffing. I sauted half an onion and 3 garlic cloves and then cooked a brown rice mix in that, and added it to the beans when done. I didn't have swiss cheese so used jack, and I used leftover pasta sauce in place of the tomato sauce. To cut down on fat I only put cheese on top, but it would be yummy with gooey cheese layers. Thanks!

Mahi Mahi Ginger Glazed

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
Absolutely delicious! My husband raved about how good this was throughout the meal. Instead of a glass dish I put the marinade ingredients in a ziptop baggie, squished them around and put the fish in it. As others mentioned I too baked the fish to reduce fat. I was in a hurry so didn't take time to make the reduction which I was sorry about once we were eating. Also, I was out of fresh garlic and ginger so used powdered; can't wait to make it with the fresh spices. Served it with a brown rice dish. I'm trying to find more easy, nutrious fish recipies and this will now be a regular for us. Thanks!

Coleslaw w/ Blue Cheese Coleslaw

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2009
Fantastic and so easy! I took this to a dinner party and everyone raved about it. I think the celery and lemon juice are what makes this so good as they add a crisp flavor different from most mayo based coleslaw, yet you can't taste the lemon. I will be making this often as I'm trying to add more cabbage into our diet.

Beets - Roasted Beets and Sauteed Beet Greens

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009
Absolutely fantastic! I'd never had fresh beets and these were so delicious, easy, and nutrious. I did cut back on the olive oil, didn't use salt, and just served with the sauted oil/garlic. Wow! An additional comment: I've now made this several times and the last time I left the beets in the oven longer than planned. They were even more delicious and didn't need peeling!

Snow Peas with Water Chestnuts

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2009
My husband loved this, and I ended up liking it, but it had to grow on me. It was fast and easy to make, a big plus. I used half olive and half sesame oil. I think my water chestnuts weren’t the best quality, a little soft. Next time I'll also try toasting the sesame seeds. The mint added a great flavor. All in all a very good recipe. Will definitely be making again.

Balsamic Glazed Carrots

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009
A delicious way to include more carrots in our meals! I microwave mine until almost tender (to keep more vitamins) and then I added them to the rest of the ingredients and simmered all for 3-5 minutes. I've also made them with maple syrup in place of the brown sugar, and will be trying some of the variations others suggested. I can now grab a bag of carrots when shopping and know they won't go to waste due to lack of a good recipe.

Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta

Reviewed: May 16, 2009
Delicious! Have been looking for pasta recipes without red or heavy white sauce and this was it. I did skip broth as I only has oil soaked tomatoes, and I had sliced mushrooms to use up which provided liquid. Also added some salt free spice mix and as always used whole wheat pasta. An easy and versitile recipe. Thanks!

Crumb-Coated Chicken Thighs

Reviewed: May 16, 2009
Delicious flavor, and fast and easy! My husband raved about the taste. I used half Italion and half Panko breakcrumbs, and no salt. I used my new discovery, smoked paprika, which has a wonderful smell, and I also used Chipolte Pepper Flakes in place of the chili powder. I served this with Curried Rice Pilaf (with a can of peas added) from the site and it was a hit. I think this is a company meal and it will become a regular for us! Thanks.

Curried Rice Pilaf

Reviewed: May 16, 2009
This was an easy, versitile, and delicious rice dish. I was making Crumb Coated Chicken Thighs, from this site, and this was the perfect side dish. I did make some modifications - extra onions and curry, olive oil instead of butter, used a brown/wild rice mix, and added a can of peas at the end. I didn't bother heating the broth and felt the salt was unnecessary as broth has so much. I was out of raisins and can't wait to make it with them. This will become a regular rice dish for us. Thanks

Trout Saratoga Baked

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2009
I'm always looking for easy low calorie ways to make fish. This is a winner. I used filets and didn't bother to baste. Served it with cous cous as someone else suggested and it was excellent!

Pea Salad with Balsamic Dressing

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2009
An excellent pea salad! The feta and basmalic vinegar give it a unique flavor. I do cut down of the mayo a bit, and to please my husband I microwave the green onions for 30 seconds which cuts the sharp flavor just enough. Slivered almonds work well, too.

Ginger Steak

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2009
Fast, easy, and delicious! I will be using this one often. I used fresh ginger for more flavor. I also made it in a quart baggie, squished the ingredients around, and then added steaks to soak for an hour. Would also be great for pork and chicken.

Kale Puttanesca

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2009
This was fantastic and so easy to make! Kale is so nutritious that I've been looking for more recipes using it. I was worried the anchovy would overpower the dish, but its flavor just blended in and added to the delicious flavor. This is definitely a winner and a keeper.
