Click here for recipe Cooking Light, July 2009 My farfalle fell apart. And no, I didn't overcook it. It fell apart even though I made it a little more al dente than usual. The last time I made farfalle it shredded to pieces, so I was trying to prevent that this time. Yeah, didn't happen. I didn't have white balsamic. I thought I didn't, but no. So, I mixed half white wine vinegar and half regular balsamic in the mini cuisinart. I tossed in the capers, shallots, and the mustard and … [Read more...]
Chicken-Orzo Salad with Goat Cheese
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, April 2008 So, goat cheese was WAY too expensive. We used RF feta instead. It was light. It was easy. It was filling. It was pretty good for lunch the next day, too. We didn't serve it with pita bread, but maybe some pita with hummus would be a good compliment to the salad. Definitely a summer favorite. Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board Mixing bowl Saucepan … [Read more...]
Grilled Flank Steak with Tomato, Avocado, and Cucumber Salad
Grilled Flank Steak with Tomato, Avocado, and Cucumber Salad recipe Cooking Light, May 2007 This was simple and tasty. We had it last night and I roasted some zucchini to go with the meal. We used london broil instead of flank steak as it's cheaper. I juiced about three small limes for the marinade which made the outside of the london broil very tangy. The salad was pretty filling, but as usual, I didn't add the cilantro. *spitting* It was sort of guacamole-ish, but without the creaminess. … [Read more...]
Greek Salad with Feta and Olives
Greek Salad with Feta and Olives recipe Cooking Light, April 1996 I didn't add the lettuce or the escarole. C'est la vie! I wanted the salad to marinate a bit before we ate it and the lettuce would have just wilted. Besides, I wanted to be able to take left overs for lunch. I have a hard time paying $4 for a jar of kalamata olives, so I used jumbo California black olives. It probably would have been better with the kalamata, but we didn't go to the Shoppers that had the olive bar. I … [Read more...]
Caesar Salad
Caesar Salad Cooking Light, October 2003 We didn't use egg substitute. We used two egg yolks. It wasn't as creamy as I thought it should be. Next time I might use three egg yolks. It was pretty good, though. I think it could use a little garlic and will probably add some next time. Measuring cups and spoons Blender or cuisinart (I used our baby cuisi) … [Read more...]
Mango and Black Bean Salad
Mango and Black Bean Salad Cooking Light, March 2008 So, I'm not really sure WHAT the tomatillo salsa does for this recipe. I may try it with regular salsa next time and see if that makes a difference. The mangoes were UBER ripe and tasted almost as sweet as candy!! I don't think there was enough of them in the mix, though. I did add some jalapeno chopped up in the mix to make it more like a salsa than a salad and I omitted the rice. Just not sure what that was for, either. I think … [Read more...]
Orzo, Corn, and Roasted Bell Pepper Salad
Orzo, Corn, and Roasted Bell Pepper Salad Cooking Light, July 2005 True to form, I didn't really follow the recipe. I THOUGHT I had roasted peppers in the fridge, but I didn't. CTM found this corn southwestern style mix by Birdseye, so I used that instead. I had orzo prepared from the night before, tossed it with the veggies that I heated in the microwave, and then chopped up a chipotle to make it match the fish we were having. It was DELICIOUS!! I had a little bit of it for lunch the next … [Read more...]
Roasted Eggplant “Salad”
Roasted Eggplant "Salad" Cooking Light, AUGUST 1997 YUM! I have not been a huge fan of eggplant, but after having some roasted eggplant and babaganoush at DM's, I thought I'd try it again. This was DELICIOUS!! We didn't coat it with the "dressing". We just ate it the way it came out of the oven. I'm taking the leftovers for lunch today. Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons Large mixing bowl Jelly roll pan … [Read more...]
