Protein Packed Vegetarian Soup

admin — Thu, 06 May 2010 14:06:35 +0000

This recipe evolved around my need for a highly nutritious, low calorie, easy meal that I could prepare in bulk and re-heat whenever I need a quick meal i.e. good food fast, not fast food! I bring this with me to school and work too, eventhough I work at a restaurant! I always cook tons of short grain brown rice at a time so I almost always have it on hand for this recipe. Enjoy! — posted by MichieBelle

Greek Salad with Sardines The fresh, tangy elements of a Greek salad—tomato, cucumber, feta, olives and lemony vinaigrette—pair well with rich-tasting sardines. Look for sardines with skin and bones (which are edible) as they have more than four times the amount of calcium as skinless, boneless sardines. If you’re lucky enough to have fresh sardines available in your supermarket, try them in place of the canned sardines.

Rosemary-Orange Pot Roast Not quite your mother’s pot roast… This version has the tender meat and robust gravy of childhood memories, but it is distinguished by a subtle accent of rosemary and orange zest and a creamy sauce made with whole-grain mustard. A puree of wintered-over root vegetables, such as celery root, rutabaga or parsnips, would make a perfect accompaniment for an early spring meal.

From the February 2010 “Fab Five” list of Vegetarian Times. (Duxelles is a paste of finely chopped mushrooms and shallots.) This is a wonderful comfort food that is actually fairly low calorie (depending on how much cheese you use). — posted by Wish I Could Cook
