Starting to get tedious to pull up the other post.
Here is a recipe to start it off: Luscious Lime Shrimp Salad Looking for a crisp and delicious dish perfect for spring? This fresh salad will awaken your taste buds and inspire your senses. Serves 2 Ingredients 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 small green onion, chopped 1/2 tablespoon hoisin sauce Pinch of white pepper 1/2 pound (10) large shrimp 1/2 tablespoon red pepper (minced) Bibb lettuce Instructions In a large bowl, whisk the lime juice, green onion, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, hoisin sauce, and white pepper together to make a marinade. Peel, devein, and clean the shrimp; rinse in cold water and set aside to chill for 30 minutes. Cook the shrimp in a nonstick skillet on medium heat with 1 tablespoon of the marinade for two to three minutes - it's done when it turns pink. Pour the skillet contents into the marinade bowl, add the red pepper, toss, and set aside to chill. Place two serving dishes with the shrimp to chill. To serve: On each of two chilled serving plates, place a bed of Bibb lettuce and spoon the shrimp onto the lettuce. Serve.

So simple and so good -
Fast cabbage side dish: Heat a medium non-stick pan over low/med. heat, add tsp olive oil. Add 1/2 an onion, chopped saute until starting to soften and then add 2 cups coleslaw mix right out of the bag (cabbage and a small amount of carrot). Sprinkle on some garlic powder and some Prudhomme's vegetable magic, saute a few minutes, should be still crisp but slightly wilted.

I think in the FAQs section i have an ode to sweet potatos...
They are so perfect, just baked in foil at 350 - 400 degres for an hour - hour and a half. They come out moist and sweet, a little cinnamon or some black pepper is all that is needed. i also like to peel and slice them, then boil or steam until tender and mash, add some smart balance or olive oil if allowed. MMMM. They are also really good sliced into strips and tossed in olive oil, sprinkled with seasoned salt or cayenne pepper mix and baked at 400 for 20 minutes, or until crisp (like fries). I have also made hash browns with them, but they do carmelize and burn easily, so I wouldn't exactly recommend it. Check the reci[pes in the FAQs section and see if there is one for sweet poatato and summer squash patties - if not i will look up the recipe and post it - it is kind of like potato pancakes. -------------- Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but the ability to start over. - F.

I have a penchant for sweet potatoes-never, never the canned stuff, but the portly roots straight from the earth. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness. Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a small mixing bowl, combine the garlic, oil, rosemary, salt, cayenne, and potatoes and toss together. Let stand for 5 minutes. Place the potatoes on a greased baking pan. Lightly sprinkle the paprika over the potatoes. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced by a fork. Serve immediately. Oven-fried Sweet Potatoes 4 medium sweet potatoes 1 tablespoon canola oil 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 cloves garlic -- minced (2 to 3) Cut the potatoes into thin wedges. Pile them in a bowl and cover them with cold water. Let rest 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with vegetable spray. Set aside. Drain the potatoes and dry them with paper towels. Press the potatoes with paper towels to remove all water. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Sprinkle the potatoes with oil, tossing the potatoes to disburse it. Then sprinkle with pepper, salt, paprika and cayenne pepper. Bake the potatoes at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn over the potatoes. Sprinkle potatoes with garlic and continue cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp and brown. Serve immediately. Black Bean Chili over Sweet Potatoes Serving Size : 4 Categories : Vegetarian Potato Bean Main Dish Amount Measure Ingredient 4 lg Sweet Potatoes 1 tablespoon Olive oil 2 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper 1 1/2 cup Chopped onions 1 tablespoon Minced garlic 1 tablespoon Chili powder 2 teaspoon Ground cumin 1 can (14 1/2 to 16-oz) Ready cut Tomatoes with juices 1 can (15 to 16-oz) Black beans Rinsed thoroughly -- drained 2 cup Diced yellow crook-neck Squash 1 tablespoon Minced seeded jalapeno chili 4 Lime wedges Plain non-fat yogurt (option Chopped fresh parsley) Preheat oven to 400.

Add diced bell pepper and chopped onions and saute until golden, about 10 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir mixture 2 minutes. Stir in chili powder and ground cumin, then tomatoes and beans and bring mixture to simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 20 minutes . (Can be prepared one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat over low heat before continuing.) Add diced squash and minced jalapeno chili; cover chili and cook until squash is crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Arrange 1 sweet potato on e ach plate. Split potatoes open and mash slightly. Spoon some chili over each. Squeeze lime juice over and top with yogurt (* sour cream?) and chopped parsley if desired. Pass remaining chili separately.

In a small bowl whisk together oil, salt, and cumin and brush some onto both sides of potato slices, reserving remaining cumin oil. Grill slices on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side, and transfer with tongs to a platter. Thinly slice scallion diagonally and sprinkle over potatoes. Whisk lime juice into remaining cumin oil with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle over potatoes.

what's the difference between sweet potato's and yams? is one better than the other or are they both good sources of complex carbs, my guess would be that the sweet potato has more surgar.

They differ a little in texture/flavor.
I prefer the red garnet yams when they are available - they have a darker purple skin and very deep orange flesh - very tasty. I really am not sure what the difference is nutritionally, now you have made me curious - I will have to google it and find out! -------------- Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but the ability to start over. - F.

Sweet Potatoes or Yams
Part 1: Sweet potatoes and yams are quite different Yam or sweet potato, what in the world is it? Many people use these terms interchangeably both in conversation and in cooking, but they are really two different vegetables. Learn the difference and try some new and interesting recipes. The Sweet Potato Sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) are the root of a vine in the morning glory family and native to the New World tropics. Its history dates back to 750 B.C. in Peruvian records. Columbus brought the sweet potato to the New World from the island of Saint Thomas. The Taino word for them was batatas which eventually became patata in Spanish, patae in French, and potato in English. At that time, potato referred to the sweet potato, and not the generic white potato as it does in English nowadays. In fact, the white potato did not arrive in the northern regions from South America until the late 17th century, more than a hundred years later, according to noted food historian, Waverly Root. Popular in the American South, these yellow or orange tubers are elongated with ends that taper to a point and are of two dominant types. The paler-skinned sweet potato has a thin, light yellow skin with pale yellow flesh which is not sweet and has a dry, crumbly texture similar to a white baking potato. The darker-skinned variety (which is most often called "yam" in error) has a thicker, dark orange skin with a vivid orange, sweet flesh with a moist texture. Current popular varieties include Goldrush, Georgia Red, Centennial, Puerto Rico, New Jersey, and Velvet. The Yam The true yam is the tuber of a tropical vine (Dioscorea batatas) and is not even distantly related to the sweet potato. Rarely found in US markets, the yam is a popular vegetable in Latin American and Caribbean markets, with over 150 varieties available worldwide. Generally sweeter than than the sweet potato, this tuber can grow over seven feet in length. The word yam comes from African words njam, nyami, or djambi, meaning "to eat," and was first recorded in America in 1676. The yam tuber has a brown or black skin which resembles the bark of a tree and off-white, purple or red flesh, depending on the variety. They are at home growing in tropical climates, primarily in South America, Africa, and the Caribbean. Yams contain more natural sugar than sweet potatoes and a higher moisture content. They are also marketed by their Spanish names, boniato and ñame. |

Here is an awesome recipe that I made last night - it was sooo good!
I know lamb is expensive in most places, but i got a good deal on a small, boneless leg of lamb (lucky me!). This flavor paste would probably be good on a roast beef as well. Mustard - Rosemary paste for lamb 1 tbsp olive oil 1/4c dijon mustard 1 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary (I used dried and soaked it in hot water for a few minutes, then drained) 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp minced garlic mix the ingredients in a small bowl, spread over leg of lamb (trimmed of any visible fat) and let sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roast lamb for one hour (rare) to 2 hours depending on size of roast and preference of doneness. Let roast sit for 20 minutes, loosely covered, before carving and serving. I cut up some red potatoes, tosed them with olive oil and herbs de provence blend, then put them in next to the lamb. Also microwaved some green beans. And we had some heavy rye bread that I baked earlier in the day.... I will post that recipe if anyone is feeling ambitious :) -------------- Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but the ability to start over. - F. Scott Fitzgerald |

Tried this last recipe last night. It was great and even my kids and hubby liked it. Very easy to do, not much prep time for those who don't have a lot of time. I did use boneless center cut pork loin chops did not have lamb, its hard to come by in this area for some reason.
I hope those chops are alright to use as far as sticking to a clean diet, they were very lean. Thanks asimmer Leslie |

It is iced coffee season!!!
Here are some ways to make it delicious without adding too many calories or sugar! Before icing, mix in 1 tbsp cocoa powder (sugarfree), 2 tbsp splenda and a dash of vanilla blend well- serve over lots of crushed ice, mmmm. There are lots of different sugarfree syrups for flavoring - some of my favorites are vanilla, hazelnut, and, of course, chocolate! a tbsp of syrup added to your iced coffee turns it into a dessert! Most herbal teas make great iced drinks as well, a good way to get your fluid intake while having something flavorful. Steep a couple of bags in hot water, then add ice or stick it in the fridge overnight. A few of my favorite herbal teas for icing - Good earth's Original spicy and sweet tea Peppermint Any type of fruit zinger flavor raspberry (or any fruit type, especially if it has hibiscus in it) green teas also make a good iced tea, if you want caffiene. Here is a tasty limeade recipe that I can't wait to try : 10 limes 6 cups water 6 english Breakfast tea bags 1/2c honey 1/4c sugar (or splenda) ginger ale (optional, could use diet ginger ale) Ice cubes mint sprigs squeeze juice from 9 limes, thinly slice remianing lime for garnish. In a non-reactive pan, heat water to boiling. turn off heat, add tea bags, and let steep for 10 minutes. remove tea bags. Add honey and sugar, stir to dissolve sugar. add lime juice. Let mixture cool, then refrigerate until ready to use. To serve, pour into glasses filled with ice cubes, or fill glasses with equal parts limeade and gingerale, stir to mix. garnish each serving with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint. Makes 10-12 servings. (Martin Yan's Asia) -------------- Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but the ability to start over. - F. Scott Fitzgerald |

Best Salmon Recipe Ever!!!
Serves 2 1 large white onion (or 2 med) 1 large mango (or 2 med) 2 6oz piece salmon (give or take) 1 table spoon olive oil 1 frying pan with cover. Prep: Slice onion/s into medium slices (steak size). Skin and slice mango into as many thin slices as possible. Salt and Pepper salmon to taste. Creation: Coat bottom of medium-hot frying pan with olive oil. Cover bottom of pan with onions and 1/4 mango. Place Salmon on top of onions - skin side up. Cover salmon with rest of mango. Put cover on frying pan. Allow onions to carmelize (aprox 5-10 minutes) - they will look partially black or burned but they are not (unless you go too far). Juices from mango and onions will steam the salmon and the mango slices will soften and sweeten. Use spatula and serve salmon with the carmelized onions and mango on rice. |

Really Good Tuna, Black Bean and Barley Salad
I think this was originally from Prevention Magazine - I had it on a recipe card, found it the other day and thought - hey, this has really good ingredients! I did the math so you will know how much P/C/F are in it - it is also a source of anti-oxidants, b-vitamins, calcium and other nutrients. 1 c barley (I used pearled and cooked it in 3c water for about an hour, follow package directions), cooked and cooled 1 15oz can Black Beans, drained and rinsed 1 6 1/2oz can tuna in water, drained Dressing: 3 TBSP Olive oil, or vegetable oil of choice, flax oil might be good, or walnut oil, i would think. 2Tbsp rice vinegar (plain, not w/sugar) 2 tsp soy sauce 1/2 oz ginger root, peeled and pressed through garlic press (about 2 tsp minced) 1 clove garlic, pressed through garlic press, (about 1/4-1/2tsp minced) 1/2tsp splenda Once barley is cooked and cooled, place in a large bowl with the drained beans and tuna. Whisk together dressing ingredients and pour over the beans/tuna/barley. Toss to coat well and combine ingredients. Chill, if desired, or eat right away! 4 servings Per serving: 367.5 calories 12.25g fat (1.5 saturated) 50.75g CHO (13.25g fiber,1.7g sugar) 18.5g protein Serve it over salad greens, 1-2c person. I would probably have a fish fillet or a few hard boiled egg whites on the side to bring the protein content up to make a full meal.

Pineapple is good for a diet yes. It is high in sugar content though so it would probably be a better idea to eat it earlier in the day in moderation. Just make sure it fits into your caloric needs.

That's something that you want to cut back on towards the night time. DX |

I am making those tenders tonight, mmmm.
Here is another salmon recipe! Grilled Asian Salmon In the mood for a meal with a little kick? Try this Asian-inspired Phase 1 dish - perfect for picnics, BBQs, or a quick supper at home! Serves 2 Ingredients 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar 2 center-cut salmon fillets, about 5 oz each Instructions Purchase center-cut salmon fillets for this recipe - thinner fillets, cut from the tall end of the salmon, can too easily overcook on the grill. Salmon skin cooks to a tasty crispiness, so keep the skin on when grilling. 1. In shallow glass dish, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and vinegar. Add salmon; turn to coat. Marinate, refrigerated, for 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning occasionally. 2. Preheat grill (medium-high heat); lightly oil grill. Place fillets on grill, skin-side up. Grill about 5 minutes per side. Fish is cooked when a thin knife blade inserted in center reveals that the pink flesh is almost opaque. Serve warm.

Serving Up Summer Squash
Squash is one of those vegetables that is not used enough in summer cuisine. Not only is it immensely nutritious, it's also versatile, cheap, and at its peak during the summer months. Here's how to buy, store, and prepare summer squash. Buying: The potential health benefits of summer squash are numerous. They are rich sources of magnesium, vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamin A, fiber, potassium, vitamin B6, niacin, folate, copper, and riboflavin. In the market, you'll find a variety of summer squash, including zucchini, sunburst, crookneck, pattypan, and yellow squash. When purchasing, select squash that are firm and heavy for their size, with bright and glossy skin. Avoid those with nicks, bruises, or soft spots. Storing: You can store squash tightly wrapped or in plastic bags in the refrigerator for up to one week. Those with thicker skin can be kept up to two weeks. Eating: The thin, edible skin of summer squash allow them to cook more quickly than winter squash. They can be prepared by steaming, baking, or sautéing. You can cut them in half, remove the seeds, and bake with a little olive oil and seasonings, or you can dice and add to soups, salads, and stews. Squash will add texture and flavor to any meal. |

Ratatouille (Light Version)
Ingredients 2 pounds -- 2 large or 4 smallish -- eggplant 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 large onions, thinly sliced 6 large garlic cloves, 4 sliced or minced, 2 put through a press or pureed 1 large red bell pepper, cut into slices about 3/4 inch wide by 1-1/ 2 inches long 1 large green bell pepper, cut into slices about 3/4 inch wide by 1-1/2 inches long salt to taste 1-1/2 pounds (about 3 medium) zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and sliced about 1/2 inch thick (if the zucchini is very large, quarter it lengthwise before slicing) 4 large or 6 medium-size tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) 1 bay leaf 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon crushed dried 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon crushed dried freshly ground pepper to taste 2 to 4 tablespoons slivered fresh basil, to taste Instructions Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, and score down the middle, making sure not to cut through the skin. Place on an oiled baking sheet (or baking sheets if one isn¹t big enough), cut side down. Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the skins begin to shrivel and the edges against the pan are browning. Remove from the heat, transfer the eggplants to a colander, cut side down so they can drain, and allow to cool in the sink, where they will release some of their juice (meanwhile you can prepare the rest of the vegetables). When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, cut the halves in half lengthwise along the score line. Peel away the skin if you wish, and cut into 3/4-inch dice. Set aside.Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Oil a large heavy lidded casserole, preferably earthenware, with olive oil. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they have softened. This should take about 5 minutes. They will be translucent and the slices will be flexible. Add half the sliced or minced garlic and cook, stirring, for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the onions have just begun to color. Remove from the heat and transfer to the casserole. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat and add the peppers. Stir for a couple of minutes and add about 1/4 teaspoon salt, or 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and the remaining sliced or minced garlic. Continue to cook, stirring, for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the zucchni looks translucent. Transfer to the casserole with the onions. Add the diced eggplant, half the tomatoes, and the tomato paste to the casserole. Stir in the bay leaf, thyme, oregano, and about a teaspoon of coarse sea salt, or 3/4 teaspoon fine salt. Stir everything together, cover and place in the oven. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the remaining tomatoes and garlic. Taste and adjust the salt. Add freshly ground pepper and return to the oven for another 30 minutes. Stir in the basil, cover, and allow to cool. Refrigerate overnight if possible. Taste, adjust seasonings, and serve hot cold, or room temperature. Yield: 6 servings |

My favorite ways to have zuchini and yellow squash are:
Cut into thick slices, lengthwise. marinate in moxture of soy sauce, garlic and ginger. grill a few minutes on each side until marked on the outside and soft inside. OR Cut into 1/4 inch thick circles, preheat a small amount of olive oil in a saute pan, add zuchini, garlic, veg. seasoning (vegetable magic or Mrs Dash), saute until soft but not mushy (I often add mushrooms and onions to this recipe, mmm) -------------- It\'s easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top. -Henry Ward Beecher |
