Spinach Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2012

Really enjoyable, healthy and easy. I make my own turkey sausage with ground turkey and spices using the "Homemade Italian Turkey Sausage" recipe from this site. Also like many other reviewers, I used 6 cups broth, 2 cups water, brown rice and added the rice uncooked to the soup with the lentils. Also I used kale instead of spinach, because that's all I had on hand.

The sauce needs to be quadrupled, but good flavor and tender chicken.

Quick Poached Salmon with Dill Mustard Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2011

This was delicious and so healthy. The sauce was wonderful and totally guilt free. I couldn't stop eating this. Hubby thought I wad crazy to "boil" the salmon but he changed his tune after he took his first bite. No leftovers for this one.

Baked Salmon Fillets Dijon

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2010

The first time I made the recipe exactly. The second time I used honey mustard and drizzled a small amount of EVOO over the crumbs. I liked both, but prefer my version. If you aren't going to grill, this is a good salmon recipe.

Butternut Squash Soup II

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2010

I followed Alane's suggestions: only squash with 1/2 cup sour cream added. By using light butter and light sour cream, I kept the fat amount basically the same and this made 5-6 servings for me. I also added a clove of garlic, cumin and cayenne pepper. Husband surprisingly enjoyed it as much as I did, probably because of the spices.

Broccoli Cheese Soup III

This was 4 stars for me, 5 stars for my hubby. Because it is SOOOO easy and fairly healthy I went with 5 stars. Next time I will use a different cream soup and add some spices.

Fantastic Black Bean Chili

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2010

This turned out well for me, even I made some intentional and unintentional changes that I wanted to share. I followed the recipe to a "T" except that my ground turkey comes in 20 ounce packages AND I wanted to avoid canned beans and use homemade beans (1.5 cups dry) instead. I realized right about the time that I was going to add the beans that I would need a lot more liquid for the dish. I ended up using about 2-3 cups of vegetable broth that I needed to use up anyway and nearly doubled the spices. I added dried onion and garlic powder (on top of the fresh) and used some Tobasco sauce. It was spicy but not overwhelming. I used ground turkey breast which has almost no fat and maybe that contributed to the dryness? I can't stand the regular ground turkey but the breast is delicious. Anyhow, it was really good and I am looking forward to the leftovers too!

Spicy Garlic and Pepper Shrimp

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2010

This is an excellent, fast and simple stir-fry and the cilantro really puts it over the top. To make it healthier, cut the oil in 1/2 at least. You can use whatever protein & veggies you like too, as long as you keep the oil/garlic/red pepper flakes/sliced onion/cilantro/soy sauce you will have a tasty dish. I doubled the recipe but not the oil and I forgot to add the water. I used orange pepper, mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower and served over brown rice with steamed edamame on the side. We could have used a little more spice and will add next time, but we are used to spicy Thai food. Ginger, lime juice, sesame oil - all good ideas. ***Update: I ate the leftovers 2 days after I made this for dinner. Don't know what happened because I loved it the day it was made, but the leftovers were hardly edible. Next time we won't leave any leftovers.

Quinoa and Black Beans

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2010

Very tasty vegan meal. I gave it 5 stars for being the perfect food - low fat, low cal, high fiber, high protein, fairly inexpensive and filling without making you feel bloated. This is the perfect meal to make after maybe a weekend of eating more extravagant meals. I made this as a main dish, served with a salad and red wine. If you like black beans and rice, you will like this. Did not change or add anything. You could adjust the spices in the quinoa to your liking. Unfortunately, hubby will not eat this (sigh).

Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: May 25, 2010

I used 1/2 cup Dijonaisse instead of Dijon and Mayo. I am not usually a fan of grilled chicken, but this was really tasty and the chicken was actually moist. I did marinate in the fridge for an hour or so prior to grilling. For something so easy and relatively low in fat it was excellent. I plan to use this all summer. 7/27/10: I have now made this 5 or 6 times EXACTLY as written and it turns out great every time. The leftovers are perfect for salads, wraps or stir-fry. I think the small amount of mayo is just enough to seal in the juices without adding too much fat. I am so happy to have found this recipe.

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2010

We make this at least twice a month. We use the basic recipe but with less cheese (cheddar) and sauteed fresh veggies. My favorite is broccoli and tomato. We usually add turkey bacon. Great for a quick, cheap, weeknight dinner or brunch.

Honey Baked Chicken II

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2009

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut the butter in half. Would cut the butter to 1/4 next time, to save calories. Really good and easy.

Vegetarian Korma

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009

With the substitution of light coconut milk instead of tomato sauce and heavy cream, and the addition of broccoli, cauliflower and spinach (in lieu of some of the potato and carrots), I could not stop eating this!

Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2009

I used half the oil and my own fave veggies (sugar snap peas, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, spinach). Almost any veggies on hand will work. For me and my hubby, this is 2 servings, so I had to cut back on the oil. Very easy, delicious, and filling too! Did not add any extra salt, and used reduced sodium soy sauce. Added fresh ground pepper. Hubby added lots more soy sauce to his, as he does with any dish like this. To cut the oil I used the 2 tbsp soy sauce instead of oil to mix with the cornstarch, and it worked well. Then I added just the water at the end. I might add some chili sauce with shrimp or tofu next time, but SO good!

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009

This is the best way to enjoy cauliflower. The roasting really brings out the flavors. Could hardly stop eating this! Hubby loves it too, and he used to tell me he hated cooked vegetables.

Egg Drop Soup I

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009

I am giving this 5 stars for being super easy, cheap, fast, tasty, filling and relatively healthy. I think almost everyone has these ingredients in their house at any given time. I added 1 cup frozen corn and it was really good.
