It is the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve and I have very little in the house. So, I have to be creative with things I have in the cupboard. This is what I came up with tonight. It could very...
This is weight watchers friendly recipe. I got it from another site. I tried it last week and could not stop eating it. I make it once a week, filling dinner with some crackers or bread rolls
A delicious mixture of beans and spices that adds a zing to meals. It takes just minutes to prepare. Great for anything from dinner parties to eating outdoors
My husband had a cold recently, and craved that old-timey chicken noodle soup--however, we recently decided we're not chicken-eaters anymore. So I experimented, and came up with this, which borrows from...
I love fennel, I love soup... so when this soup was recently featured on FoodTV's "Party Starters" prepared by Edison Mays, I snagged the recipe from the website and adapted it to my liking.
I love this recipe because it is flavourful, satisfying and filling while being vegetarian and healthy. You also don't need any broth or bouillon which is great for those watching their sodium. It's from...
During the summer the United Methodist Mission where my husband works holds weekly Potluck suppers for the work groups that come from all over the United States to rehab housing for the elderly and handicapped...
This recipe is based on one from a Dr. Oz December 2011 episode where he gave away many Vitamix blenders that cost about $500 each. Fortunately, the directions say you can make this in a blender, which...
I was looking for a heathy appetizer to take to a party and decided a good garlicy white bean dip would be the choice. A friend had sent me a recipe for a bean dip. I tried the dip and then tweaked it...
Perk up that same old boring dinner with these sweet and jazzy "baked" beans! Everything is done on the stove top using pantry staples and a few fresh ingredients for a FAST and simple prep yet a HOMEMADE...
An easy way to prepare green beans that will usually even get those who don't like green beans to eat them :) These come a little better if you thaw the green beans first -in fridge for a few hours, or...
From Fabulous Fat-Free Cooking Give the dip a more pronounced Tex-Mex flavor by adding 1/2 tsp chili powder. Serve with fat-free tortilla chips, celery, or plain toasted pita chips.
This layered casserole is really easy to make and tastes really good. I actually tried it with 1.25 lbs ground turkey breast and it came out very good. Tastes great with a dollop of sour cream on top....
I like making baked beans from dried beans because they are not as mushy as canned baked beans. I found this recipe on a package of Publix dried navy beans. I make it as written on the package, but I add...
I created this trying to use left over refried beans from Recipe #272760, submitted by Larry in DC. Served with Tortilla chips in front of a football game - it was a HIT!!
My husband raves about this! Easy to eat as a salad, but it's yummy with tortilla chips or Fritos®! It's easy to double or triple, and it's really simple to add more ingredients if you have them, like...
This is my variation of chili. I usually cook it with ground venison, though it tastes just as good with ground beef, and I am sure ground turkey would be fine as well. I use a 4.5 qt slow cooker.
This salad would make a terrific addition to summer BBQs and picnics, it travels and holds well. The slightly sweet and spicy dressing gives the vegetables a welcome zing.
These smart little shrimp marry with the cannelloni bean to produce a delicate, but simply the most tummy pleasant quick pick me up you might ever want. As the North wind starts biting into us during the...
Although I am not a superstitious person, I call this a New Year's dip because of the "lucky" ingredients. Black-eyed peas symbolize coins and kale symbolizes folded money, which means wealth for the New...
So my husband insisted that I learn to make Mexican Charro Beans, and after oh so many failed attempts we've finally settled on a recipe that we are happy with! I usually serve these with any Mexican styled...
This is pure comfort food in a lot of parts of Mexico. One bite of this delicious soup/stew will make you a fan forever! I got the recipe off of a low carb recipe site and modified it for our tastes. For...
Adjust the amount of jalapeno to suit your taste, or use a mild or hot salsa instead of medium; I would not like these any spicier than they already are. I make these in a pressure skillet, a shallow version...
This is a wonderful chile recipe. Different from any I have had before - no tomatoes or onions go into this recipe. I got this recipe while living in NJ from a Southern Living Magazine. I've lived in Texas...
A light and delicious fast fix meal that is easy on the waist and the pocketbook! This comes together very fast and will fill you up with just a few tasty but healthy ingredients. The quantity listed leaves...
I have not had a chance to try this yet. From Ask Aida's "Light & Healthy" episode. You can substitute veggie stock for the chicken stock to make this recipe vegetarian, and of course you can opt not to...
Chickpeas you cook yourself are so much nicer than the canned ones. Plus, you can control the salt content. And using the slow cooker makes it fool-proof.
This is another recipe straight from the coupon section of the Sunday newspaper :-) It is a Rosarita original recipe. It is fantastic for a super bowl party (or any other party, for that matter).
