My husband and I just kind of ‘winged-it’ last night creating a new salmon recipe and it was soooo delicious. I hope you like it.
Healthy Main Dishes
Sweet and Simple Pork Roast
Simple, healthy slow cooker pork roast recipe born from my love of sweetness and lack of ingredients. The dish works great even for singles or smaller families because the leftovers are great. Don’t throw out the juice! Save all the juice with the leftovers and include it when reheating; it will keep the meat moist and delicious.
Goat Shoulder Braised with Prunes and Preserved Lemons
Goat is a delicious, mild-flavored meat that is overlooked in the U.S. This recipe results in a tender, savory dish that, while unusual, is still basically good old comfort food. This would be great to serve with Israeli-style couscous; alternatively, you could add some potato chunks to the pan halfway through the cooking.
Grilled Tuna Roast
This recipe is especially good for those who are afraid to put fish on the grill, thinking that it will stick to it or not be sturdy enough to be cooked this way. That is not the case of tuna. The fact that you cook it as a roast, without slicing it into steaks, ensures the tenderness and moisture inside the meat. Its simply delicious! It goes great with a fresh greens salad with balsamic vinaigrette.
Healthier Chicken Enchiladas II
Using fresh garlic and low-fat Cheddar cheese, and tossing in some pinto beans and mushrooms make this classic recipe healthier.
Healthier Chicken Cordon Bleu II
I love chicken cordon bleu. When I make this recipe I use lemon juice for wine and a half and half for the cream.
Healthier Chicken Cordon Bleu I
This entree is easy and delicious, and made healthier by using Jarlsberg cheese (instead of Swiss) and whole wheat bread crumbs.
Spicy Chicken Orecchiette
Cute orecchiette pasta with fresh vegetables, grilled pulled chicken, and lots of spice. Delicious!
Cinnamon Maple Granola with Coconut
Dissolve the maple sugar in the syrup mixture while heating it on the stove. The maple flavor will be pronounced and delicious!
A Crock of Curried Pork Soup
This yummy, belly warming soup is a curried spin on traditional tortilla soup – great flavor and very unique.
Barbequed Oysters
Simple and easy, these wonderfully flavorful shellfish delights will impress your guests. Try preparing them on the grill for exciting outdoor fun. Don’t forget to keep your eyes open for the occasional pearl!
Hot Tomato Sauce
I made this up while I was in a cooking class. My whole family likes it. It is medium-hot but you can add more hot chili powder if you like.
Ziti With Olives and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
I always use ziti to make this, it looks so elegant, but any macaroni will do. Serve with a Greek salad.
Catfish with Tropical Fruit Salsa
This is the only way my fish hating children will eat fish. Quick and easy but looks and tastes as if you went to a lot of trouble
Chicken Delirious and Buttered Rice (for Pressure Cooker)
For all you fans of my ‘Chicken Vicious’, here is the Polynesian counterpart. Sweet, tangy, easy, spicy, and absolutely the best Polynesian chicken dish you ever tasted! For all you pressure cooker fans, this is a snap. This will work in a regular Dutch oven, but the cook time will be about 3 times as long. Be sure to add red pepper flakes in stages to achieve desired heat. I use 1 to 3 tablespoons!
Healthier Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs
We added carrot and fresh garlic to this spaghetti sauce, and even made the meatballs healthier by using whole wheat breadcrumbs and fresh parsley. We suggest serving over the whole grain pasta of your choice.
