Please review any new SBD recipes you have tried in the past few weeks!  Share any you plan to try in the coming week too! 


I'm feeling inspired and might try to try a new one every week this month (cross your fingers that life doesn't throw me any loops).

It's all still pretty new to me since I'm not one to cook at all other than pasta. I've made the Turkey Chili, a stir-fry kind of thing with chicken strips, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, onions and green pepper. I think I added a little salsa to it too for some kick. It was really yummy. I also made the spinach quiche cups and I've been playing with desserts.

Right now I'm making the chicken parm. with an artichoke. I also tried the roasted broccoli. Tomorrow I'm going to try the cauliflower mashed potatos. Would have made them tonight too, but I didn't have any ff half and half.

So far they have all been pretty yummy. So not only am I all of a sudden cooking, I'm also getting much better at bringing lunch to work. I was never very good at it and always spent way too much money on lunch.

Thank you for all the great tips here. I look forward to many more recipies and great tips.

Liz,


You don't need the FF half& half for the faux tatoes.

I just made a yummy "Grilled Sesame Salmon" from the Canadian Living Weekends magazine.

2 Tbsp sesame oil (I used olive oil instead)

2 tsp minced gingerroot

2 cloves minced garlic

1 green onion, finely chopped

1/4 tsp each, salt and pepper

2 lb. salmon fillet (with skin on)

2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds

In bowl, mix together oil, ginger, garlic, green onion, salt and pepper. Spread over skinless side of salmon and re-fridgerate for up to 8 hours. (I left mine for about 20 minutes and it had plenty of flavour).

Place salmon skin side down on greased grill over medium heat. Close lid and grill until fish flakes easily when tested (about 25 minutes). Garnish with sesame seeds.

Makes 6 servings

Note: Instead of salt, I used a tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce and dh basted it with 1 Tbsp of white wine halfway through so that it didn't dry out! It was very, very delicious. I will definitely make it again.

I made split pea soup yesterday and it was really good. I also made the oatmeal pancake this morning and that was surprisingly yummy. I made it with 2 whole eggs instead of the 4 whites and it was soft. I also added some blueberries for extra yumminess. I would make that again. I would like to get more recipes involving beans. So I'll search around for those.

Thank you,

Happy

This has been a favorite at our house for a while. I made it for dH's boss and his wife last week using canadian bacon, light feta, and whole wheat pasta. It was a winner with our guests who are not even SBD! :-) (btw...I'm not sure how legal the marinated artichokes are, so feel free to use plain ones) I also have "tweaked" this one using whatever is in my fridge...leftover jarred spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, etc. I bet roasted broccoli would be fine too.

Enjoy it! - Wendy



Mediterranean Pasta

1 (8 ounce) package linguine pasta

6 slices bacon

2 pounds boneless chicken breast half, cooked and diced

salt to taste

3 (10 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes with juice

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 small cans sliced black olives

2 small jars Progresso marinated artichoke hearts, drained







1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

2 Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

3 Season chicken with salt. Stir chicken with bacon in a large skillet or saucepan. Add tomatoes and rosemary, and simmer 20 minutes.
