High-Fiber Recipes: Yellow Rice with Meat | Submitted By: CMHGUPTA
I learned this dish while in France - I use rice that comes prepackaged with the spices, but you can use plain rice and saffron to do the trick. I also sometimes throw shrimp in at the last minute.
There's nothing like the smell of savory beans simmering on the stove to make everybody hungry. Kidney beans are simmered with garlic, onion, red bell pepper, spices and hot sauce. Adjust the spices and hot sauce to suite your taste. Serve over rice or with tortilla chips and cheese, if desired.
A variety of cheeses and deli meat slices are layered with vegetables, peppers and spices to create a mighty party platter that's filled with exciting flavors and easy on the eyes.
Healthy Salads: Mom Dill's Harlequin Salad | Submitted By: Joan E. Dill
This is an easy, quick, and wonderful vegetable salad dish that is so refreshing served ice cold. My mother-in-law had it at every barbeque and if you don't like beets or peas, you will love this as it tastes like neither.
I love acorn squash with butter and sugar, but since that doesn't go over very well with a low-fat, low-sugar diet I came up with this alternative. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your individual tastes.
Healthy Appetizers: Tomato Salsa without Onions | Submitted By: Susan Baker
My mother-in-law loves Tex-Mex but has an onion allergy. After several attempts, I invented an authentic tasting salsa that derives some of it's smokey flavor from the roasted pepper. I've taken to roasting the peppers in bulk so I can always have some on hand.
Gluten-Free Recipes: Vegetable Beef Soup III | Submitted By: Kristin
Beef stew meat is slowly simmered with tomato-vegetable juice cocktail, onion, chili powder and Worcestershire and then potatoes, carrots and celery are added at the end and cooked until just tender.
Just like potato pancakes only shredded carrots star in this one. Eggs, flour, breadcrumbs and garlic surround and bind the carrot together. They cook up crusty and golden and are so good with homemade applesauce.
