This barbecue sauce tastes exactly like the famous New York State Finger Lakes sauce for chicken that is enjoyed all over Central New York in the summer. Because it uses fat-free mayonnaise instead of the usual oil and egg, the sauce adheres to the chicken better and the finished product is more moist.
Healthy Main Dishes
Onion Spaghetti
Onion Spaghetti is a great filling vegetarian dish that comes with a BANG! You would never guess that it’s vegetarian!
Plain Pasta
Real old fashioned homemade pasta. The salt, baking powder and butter are optional. Also, try substituting 1/2 cup milk or 3 beaten eggs for the warm water.
Pollo con Nopales (Chicken and Cactus)
Don’t let the cactus part fool you! They already sell it canned or peeled whichever you prefer. One of my bff’s mom taught me this recipe and it goes great with just about anything. Not for the faint of heart if you’re not into spicy things.
Poached Tuna Steaks
Tasty albacore tuna steaks are poached in an aromatic broth. Serve with couscous.
Clover’s Shrimp and Basil
Serve on greens as an appetizer or with pasta for a main course.
Healthier Roasted Pork Loin
The rosemary flavor and fragrance is even more pronounced in this healthier version of Kathleen’s recipe, because we used fresh rosemary rather than dried. We also added fresh carrots, potatoes, and fennel for a delicious and healthy meal!
Shrimp Pasta with Tomato Basil Sauce
A lovely blend of shrimp, mushrooms, and a light tomato basil sauce.
Chicken Seitan
The easiest and best seitan recipe I’ve ever used. You can use this recipe wherever meat is called for, shape it before cooking to make nuggets or patties, and after cooking you can grind or shred the ‘meat’ to fit whatever the recipe calls for. This recipe has a slight chicken flavor, but if you want it to have more of a beef flavor, just add beef bouillon or soup-mix to the liquids in your broth. Seitan soaks up so much flavor, the possibilities are endless so go ahead and experiment with your favorite seasonings.
Lemon Thyme Swordfish with Asparagus
The creamy lemon and thyme sauce accents the flavor of the swordfish. If desired, garnish with lemon slices and sprigs of thyme.
Penne With Garlic Pesto
This pesto recipe is made with vegetable stock instead of olive oil.
Porcini Mushroom Pasta
Tagliatelle pasta topped with a fragrant, colorful porcini mushroom sauce which includes carrot, red bell pepper, red wine and herbs. This recipe is from The WEBB Cooks, articles and recipes by Robyn Webb, courtesy of the American Diabetes Association. Preparation time: 10 minutes.
Mandarin Chicken Saute
I used my leftover jelly beans in this creative main dish featuring oriental flavors. Quick and easy, it’s delicious too.
Baked Spaghetti III
This recipe is easy, full of flavor, and with ingredients that we always have on hand. Add browned ground beef for a meaty version.
Healthier (but still awesome) Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
This is a very easy recipe for a delicious pot roast, I make it healthier by omitting the onion soup mix, using low-fat and low sodium cream of mushroom soup, and adding vegetables!
