What are ';hearts of palm';--I see them in recipes and in the grocery store. But what ARE they?

Are they part of a palm tree-certain kinds of palm trees? Can you use them like artichokes? What can we use them in and are they good for you?What are ';hearts of palm';--I see them in recipes and in the grocery store. But what ARE they?
The delicious tasting heart of palm is actually low in calories and fat and high in fiber:





Heart of palm (or “palmito”) comes from a perennial palm tree native to the humid tropics of America. For centuries it has been cultivated by indigenous communities in the Amazon Region, as a subsistence plant on small farms. However, in recent years it has aroused interest among farmers, industrialists and researchers from Central America to Brazil, mainly due to heart of palm’s multiple uses.





Palmito is the central part or heart of some wild varieties of palm trees that originated in the South American tropical jungle. These varieties have undergone a process of adaptation and become a farm species.





The main variety that has been domesticated is the botanical species Bactris gasipaes of the Palmaceae family, known in Ecuador as “chontaduro” and in Costa Rica as “pejibaye.”





Heart of palm is considered a very exotic gourmet product. It has a high fiber content and no cholesterol. It also has large amounts of iron and calcium. Heart of palm is soft, ivory-colored, firm in texture and delicate in flavor. It is typically used in salads or “ceviches” or even mixed in or fried for main dishes.





The heart of palm is growing daily in the variety of uses - the beauty of this gourmet vegetable is that is is so versatile.

The company I work for had a party at the Taste of Texas the other day and I had some heart of palm on my salad from the salad bar. Basically you just open the can of this vegetable rinse and drain it and garnish salads with it. It is now also available fresh in some speciality markets.





Here is another recipe for you from renouned chef Wolfgang Puck:


Hearts of Palm Salad with Shaved Parma Ham





Serves 8





Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette:


1 tablespoon diced Preserved Lemon Peel (see ';Sauces and Dressings';)


1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives


1 teaspoon sugar


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 cup Champagne vinegar


2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil


Freshly ground black pepper





4 pounds fresh hearts of palm, outer husks removed, or 1 pound canned hearts of palm, drained


1/4 pound thinly shaved Parma ham


1 cup micro greens or small mixed baby salad greens


4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil


Salt


Freshly ground black pepper


4 teaspoons julienned Preserved Lemon Peel, recipe follows





For this Hawaiian-inspired first-course salad, you’ll find fresh hearts of palm in some well-stocked produce sections and specialty food stores. If not, substitute canned hearts of palm for this recipe from Spago Maui.





1. For the Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette, in a mixing bowl, stir together all the ingredients. Season to taste with a little more salt and some pepper. You should have about 1 cup of dressing. Cover and set aside.





2. If using fresh hearts of palm, you should have some bigger, thicker pieces and some smaller, thinner pieces. Put the bigger pieces in a nonreactive dish and cover them with 3/4 cup of the Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.





3. Drain the marinated hearts of palm and wrap each piece in a piece of ham. After the pieces are wrapped, cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rings. Slice the smaller pieces into 1/4-inch thick rings and set aside.





4. Drape half of each serving plate with the remaining Parma ham.





5. In a mixing bowl, toss the mesclun with the sliced small hearts of palm and 4 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound some of the greens mixture in the center of each serving plate. Place the ham wrapped rounds around the salad. Drizzle the remaining Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette around each plate and garnish with the julienned Preserved Lemon Peel. Serve immediately.





Another recipe is:





Hearts of palm, avocado, and red onion salad with corriander dressing

4 California firm-ripe avocados

Enjoy!What are ';hearts of palm';--I see them in recipes and in the grocery store. But what ARE they?
Hearts of palm are, literally, the heart of the sabal Palmetto, a tall, tough-barked graceful palm that is the state tree of Florida. Called ';swamp cabbage'; by native Floridians, it was long regarded as poor people's food--and was actively cut down as a source of food during the Depression, no mean task in the days before chain saws. It wasn't long, however, before its extreme tenderness and delicacy was noticed--and its name changed from ';swamp cabbage'; to ';millionaires' salad.'; It wasn't long after that, then, that Florida enacted a state law to protect it from the ravenous gourmets.


Hearts of palm, of course, has flourished for thousands of years throughout Central and South America. In fact, at the time Columbus arrived in the new world, the Carib Indians were taking full advantage of what they called the Pejibaye tree. They housed themselves with its bark; put a roof over their heads with the leaves; ate the nuts of the mature tree...and ate the center core of the young plants.





Today this young tree is grown, harvested, and canned as a cash crop throughout Central and South America, especially Brazil. It needs 150 inches of rainfall each year to flourish, and cannot endure freezing weather. It is harvested at the age of 12 months, when the plant is about 5 feet tall and has an outside perimeter of 4 inches. To read about and see the process unfold before your eyes, you might visit www.ifrance.com/itenez and select the language of your choice there.





Hearts of palm have no cholesterol; have excellent fiber content, hardly any fat content, and are low in calories


Salad:


1 15 ounce can hearts of palm, drained and diced, about 1 1/2 cups


1 16 ounce can pitted medium black olives, drained


10 ounces frozen peas


1/2 minced red onion


3 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges


1/3 cup chopped parsley


Dressing:


1/3 cup red wine vinegar


1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard


4 cloves garlic, passed through a press


1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


1/2 virgin olive oil


8 ounces feta cheese, cubed


PREPARATION:


Combine the salad ingredients in a bowl.


In a separate bowl, combine all ingredients except the cheese and oil and mix. Blend in the oil and season to taste. Pour over the salad and refrigerate several hours before serving.


To serve, toss with the feta cheese and serve.

Grown-Up Macaroni %26amp; Cheese





4 oz thick-sliced bacon


Vegetable oil


Kosher salt


2 cups elbow macaroni or cavatappi


1½ cups milk


2 Tbsp. unsalted butter


2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour


4 oz Gruyere cheese, grated


3 oz extra-sharp Cheddar, grated


2 oz blue cheese, such as Roquefort, crumbled


¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper


Pinch nutmeg


2 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed


2 Tbsp. freshly chopped basil leaves





Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the baking rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the bacon is crisp. Remove the pan carefully from the oven - there will be hot grease in the pan! Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and crumble when it is cool enough to handle.


Drizzle oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the macaroni and cook according to the directions on the package, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.


Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. Melt the butter in a medium pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or 2 more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, blue cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and crumbled bacon and stir well. Pour into 2 individual size gratin dishes.


Place the bread slices in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until you have coarse crumbs. Add the basil and pulse to combine. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the pasta. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.

Make a couple of these pies. The Lemon is my daughter's favorite, and you can make them the day ahead:





LEMONADE PIE


1 large container Cool Whip


1 (6oz) can frozen lemonade, thawed %26amp; undiluted


1 can Eagle Brand sweetened, condensed milk


1 9'; graham cracker crust (storebought is fine)


extra Cool Whip for the top


Mix Cool Whip, lemonade %26amp; milk together really well and pile into the crust. Dollop extra Cool WHip around the edges. Chill at least 4 hours.... (can also use pink lemonade or limeade - which tastes like Key Lime Pie)





Since it's a pot-luck, and assuming the main dish will be sitting out on a table, why not bring an ANTIPASTO SALAD?





1 small head cauliflower, separated


1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/4'; strips


1-3 large carrots, cut into 1/4'; strips


1 red onion, sliced into rings


4 stalks celery, cut into strips


5 oz. stuffed green olives


6 oz. pitted black olives


1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced


1/2 to 1 cucumber, sliced


Optional Ingredients: cherry tomatoes, radishes, Italian peppercinis, salami or pepperoni slices, cubes of mozzarella or provolone cheese





OREGANO DRESSING:


1-1/2 c. vinegar, slightly warmed


1 c. olive oil


4 TB. sugar


1 tsp. oregano


2 tsp salt - pepper to taste


Combine all ingredients and whisk until well blended


Place all salad ingredients into a large bowl with a lid (like Tupperware). Add dressing and toss well. Can be made well ahead and refrigerated; tossing occasionally. Drain before serving.... Serves 12 (or more, depending on how much of the optional things you add)
Jambalaya





8 oz Andouille sausage or Chorizo (about 2 sticks), diced

2 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes


5 cups chicken broth

Directions





Add 2 tbs oil to a large pot, and over medium heat, brown the meats. Add canned tomatoes, Zatarain's and chicken broth in place of the water called for in the Jambalaya mix. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.





*** If you want this to be LESS spicy: the spice mixture in the Zatarain's box is clumped together. You can ';catch'; it, and add half or two-thirds -- whatever you think you'd prefer. I use it full-strength for this, because I'm adding so much meat to the boxed mix.








Berry Cobbler:





1 cup all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 cup milk


1/2 cup butter, melted


2 1/2 cups fresh (or frozen, thawed %26amp; drained) mixed berries

(If you'd prefer, mix berries and sugar; let stand about 20 minutes or until fruit syrup forms before spooning over batter.)





Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until dough rises and is golden. Serve warm with cream.
Everyone raves about this salad and even the kids love it.





Strawberry and Feta Salad





Original recipe yield: 10 servings


INGREDIENTS


1 cup slivered almonds


2 cloves garlic, minced


1 teaspoon honey


1 teaspoon Dijon mustard


1/4 cup raspberry vinegar


2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar


2 tablespoons brown sugar


1 cup vegetable oil


1 head romaine lettuce, torn


1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced


1 cup crumbled feta cheese








DIRECTIONS


In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the almonds, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted. Remove from heat, and set aside.


In a bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, raspberry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil.


In a large bowl, toss together the toasted almonds, romaine lettuce, strawberries, and feta cheese. Cover with the dressing mixture, and toss to serve.
Classic, gooey homemade mac %26amp; cheese!





This is a really easy recipe, and you can change the cheese to whatever you want...I usually use half sharp cheddar and half fontina. If it's a large gathering, double the recipe. This is always popular...just make sure to not overcook the pasta!








3 tablespoons butter


3 tablespoons flour


1 1/2 cups whole or 2 percent milk


3 cups shredded white cheddar cheese


1/2 teaspoon dry mustard


1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, a couple pinches


Salt


1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked 8 minutes or to al dente, with a little bite to it





Heat a medium, deep skillet over medium heat. Add butter. When butter melts, add flour and combine. Gently cook, whisking flour and butter together, until smooth and flour has had a chance to cook, about 3 minutes. Slowly add milk while continuing to whisk. Gently bring milk to a bubble while stirring frequently. Allow the milk to thicken a bit, then stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time. Season sauce with dry mustard and cayenne. Taste and add a little salt, if you like. Add cooked pasta to sauce and coat completely by turning over and over in the cheese sauce. Transfer to a baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Place baking dish under a hot broiler and brown the cheddar cheese on top.
The easiest dessert I've ever made, and the one that always gets eaten is my Cherry/Chocolate Trifle.





All you need is a large can of cherry pie filling, a box of instant chocolate pudding, a tub (12 oz) of Cool Whip, and either brownies or a moist chocolate cake.





Make the pudding according to the directions and mix in half of the cool whip after the pudding sets. Next, cut up the brownies/cake into bite size pieces. In the trifle bowl, layer the cake, pudding, cherries until you get close to the top. You should end with a pretty layer of cherries. Put the rest of the cool whip in a zip bag, snip the corner, and pipe the cool whip on top of the cherries (circle the edge) then crumble a bit of the cake/brownie on top of the cherries like confetti.... it just adds to the presentation.





I have always taken home an empty trifle bowl. Other variations you could do:


strawberries, pound cake, and vanilla pudding


Heath Bar, chocolate cake, chocolate pudding


blueberries, yellow cake, lemon pudding


bananas, nilla wafers, banana and vanilla pudding





I don't have a casserole dish recipe, because everyone always wants me to do a trifle.... :)
Everyone makes heavy desserts, lots of chocolate. So go light! Serve a angel food cake plain. Place a bowl next it with fruit. Take frozen or fresh mixed berries, strawberries, blueberries, black %26amp; red raspberries in a bowl, sprinkle with a little sugar %26amp; they will make their own juice. Be sure to cut the strawberries in half. Per cut the cake into slices, easier. Then folks can spoon fruit on to the cake. Also have cool-whip on the side as well. Yum!


For meat, meatloaf, stuffed peppers or stuffed cabbage rolls.

Any ideas on recipes for a 10 month old?

I am not the best cook in the world but since my daughter has been eating solids i have been trying my best to cook healthy recipes rather than those jars. Just wondered if anyone has any simple recipes for me to try?Any ideas on recipes for a 10 month old?
Keep it simple! My daughter absolutely loved chopped up soft foods like avacado, tofu, canned fruit (no sugar added), and canned veggies (no added salt). Things that you might think are gross, she might love! One thing I did to get her to eat her jar food (like mixed veggies) was to add some of those chunky foods to it, like tofu. She was so glad to be eating something solid, that she would eat anything from a jar after that. Good luck and just keep trying lots of different things. Just keep the salt and sugar to a minimum. Getting her to eat a variety of things now will pay off in the future. :)Any ideas on recipes for a 10 month old?
purchase a blender ,everything grown UPS eat ,just blend .


i never purchase baby food ,unless i was out .
My son loved cod in butter sauce with carrot and potato all mashed together,or broccoli cauliflower potato and some grated cheese again mashed up.
Tuna Patties are great for kids, and they are good finger foods. They are so simple to make.


Otherwise you can try Pastry Rolls, And lots of Home Made mini foods :)





If you want any recipies feel free to email me :)
Pineapple Yogurt Juice





Assuming your daughter isn't allergic to Yogurt or Pineapple Juice.





Put equal parts plain yogurt and pineapple juice into the blender(You use the empty yogurt container to measure the juice), blend it, and serve it either in a bottle or whatever she likes to drink from. We called it ';Yogurt Juice'; and my little ones loved it. It is inexpensive and the pediatrician said the idea was great.
boil i cup rice with 1 tomato and i potato and 1 boneless piece of chicken till the rice is really thin and the potato and chicken is really soft, also add a little salt and black pepper if necessary, then just paste it up and serve it to your 10 month old
I agree with IMS but just be careful when addi ng salt if you are gonna feed your baby your own food, Mashed veg, with a little gravy has always been a good one, babies love it, Also try finger foods, stuff they can pick up to suck and chew, your baby may not have teeth yet, but their gums are very hard, ..





Also buy an ice cube tray, try freezing what you make, then you wont have to worry everyday about cooking for your baby, cos you will have a batch in the freezer....





Good luck
I know it was hell for me with my first son too.





Use Butternut, broccoli, gem squash, carrots, potato, baby marrows, pumpkin...


U can mix any of these and steam them together...


My son loved marrow, butternut and broccoli which i steamed, mashed with some butter and added some marmite for taste...





Try it.... Good luck

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooked鈥?/a>





that is a recipe for a regular chili and i use it as my base recipe. i like to use veggie crumbles in place of the meat, any kind of veggie ground meat will work. i also like to use half kidney beans and half black beans. once it is cooked i usually add about 8-12 ounces of cooked elbow macaroni and i stir in a bunch of cheddar cheese(however much you like) and i call it ';chili mac';. my family and my boyfriend LOVE this when i make it. i cook dinner at least once a week at my boyfriend's apartment and he has never once asked me to repeat a recipe(he is a very picky eater) and he has requested this 4 times! trust me it is a winner! enjoy!
A tip - don't use runner beans.

My cooked gammon is so salty it is unpleasant - any suggestions to remove the taste or recipes to disguise it ?

Any suggestions to remove the salty taste ? soaking it in something or else recipes that may disguise the salt. I do like salty food but this is the limit. Thanks for any suggestions. saltysueMy cooked gammon is so salty it is unpleasant - any suggestions to remove the taste or recipes to disguise it ?
In the South, this is ham country and we soak salty ham (gammon) in milk or water overnight to get the salt out. Consider this a reverse brining and change the water 3 or 4 times. By soaking the salted ham in water you will draw the salt from the meat but also add moisture. Some people say you need to soak your country ham for about 6 to 12 hours. Then cook as needed.

Bleu cheese containing recipes?

I bought a container of bleu cheese to top on our ribeye steaks. I only used a small amount and I have all of this cheese. Can you give me some ideas of what to do with it? The only thing I can come up with that is interesting is stuffing chicken breasts with it.


I have lots of stuff in the house (but not chicken wings) to add with it so can you give me some bright ideas for a really nice dinner (not bar food)


Thanks in advance!Bleu cheese containing recipes?

Add eggs, one at a time, while stirring and when thoroughly mixed, pour into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the crumbled bleu cheese on top and place into the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is nicely browned, but not burnt. Let cool and serve with a salad and some crisp white wine.

1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper


1 cup all purpose flour

I am going to make a salad w/my blue cheese- spring greens, toasted pecans, diced pear, dried cherries, and zesty italian dressing. It's my fav salad. I'm probably going to make hamburgers w/the rest- I top the burgers w/blue cheese and put it under the broiler for a few seconds, then I add sauteed mushrooms. Best burger ever!





If you can't think of anything else to do with your blue cheese, just let a stick of butter come to room temp and blend it up w/ the blue cheese. Put it on a piece of plastic wrap and roll it up really tight and put it in the freezer. Slice off a piece the next time you have steaks. Yum!

What are some recipes for leftover pot roast?

Hash is really good. I don't know how much meat and potatoes you have left, so you'll have to do it by eye. Shred up you meat and dice up your potatoes. Dice up a little onion. Fry it all in a pan with butter, salt, and pepper (careful, the potato will try to stick!) When it is hot and some of the potatoe and meat is browned, serve it heaped on a plate with a fried egg on top. Your left over onion, carrots, or other veggies from the roast will not do this mix any harm at all. Toss some in.What are some recipes for leftover pot roast?

Ricotta Eggplant Rolls





INGREDIENTS


1/2 cup vegetable oil, divided


4 cloves garlic, minced


1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes in puree


1 (10 ounce) can tomato sauce


2 tablespoons Italian seasoning


1 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon white sugar


1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


2 cups plain dried bread crumbs


1 cup all-purpose flour


2 eggs


1/4 cup heavy cream


2 large eggplants, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices


1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese


2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese


1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese


3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley


fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)





DIRECTIONS


Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant and lightly browned. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, sugar, and pepper. Simmer covered over medium-low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large shallow dish, stir together the bread crumbs and flour. In a separate dish, whisk together the eggs and cream with a fork.


Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs. Fry each slice until golden brown in the hot oil, turning once. Drain on paper towels.


Spread a thin layer of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and parsley. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of eggplant. Roll up, and place in the baking dish seam side down. Spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the rolls. Cover the baking dish with a lid or aluminum foil.


Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving if desired.
Eggplant is awesome on the grill. Slice it into rounds and coat with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill until tender. Do the same with tomato slices. Stack layers of grilled eggplant and tomato with mozzerella in between, about 3 high, and grill just until cheese melts.

Any type of stuffed eggplant is nice. Also i can recommend cooking a tomato based sauce and mixing different types of vegetables in (including fried eggplant), which is good on top of pasta or just with a chunk of wholemeal bread!


Twinings green tea is lovely - simple to use, and they have great flavour; my favourites are the pear %26amp; apple and the vanilla one.

Some different pork recipes please?

I dont eat pork very often as I find it rather tasteless but I am trying to widen my menu and would like some new pork recipes, spicy is ok but not over the top as I have a hiatus hernia and have to cut my spices. Nothing with nuts, coconut and olives either.





Also nothing that takes too long to prepare and cook as I work full time.Some different pork recipes please?
Here's one that is excellent and I use very often. Cut a pork loin with a knife down the center but, not cutting it totally in half. Open it and begin to ';score'; the inside so that you are able to spread it out. The more slits in it, the wider and more spread out the loin will become. Then, fill it with fresh smoked gouda cheese and fresh whole spinach. Make sure you get it down into the slits that you've made. Lightly season with salt and pepper or lawry salt and roll back up. Tie it closed with cooking twine, or any kind of string will do and season the outside. Put it on low in the crock pot or low temp in the oven, add some baby red potatoes and carrots and the whole shebang will be done when you get home. Don't forget to add a little water to the pot if doing it in the oven so that it doesn't burn if you are running late! Bon Apatite!Some different pork recipes please?
I usually bread my pork chops and I cheat I use shake and bake, and it turns out great. or I will buy Italian dressing and marinate it for 15 minutes and pan fry in itialian dressing.
baked pork chops, fried pork chops. you can have breaded pork chops buy crumbling cracker crumbs till fine, dip you chops in egg and then coat chops with crumbs and fry. you could grill them. you could pour some kind of sauce over your chops.
I really dont know.
Here's a site with a bunch of them, all labeled by difficulty: http://web.foodnetwork.com/food/web/cach鈥?/a>
A very simple and very quick way to eat pork is to buy pork cube steak (you can get it at almost every grocery store) and buy shake n' bake for pork and make (sorta) pork chops, with mashed potatos they are absolutely tasty, the shake n' bake adds the flavor without having to whip out all the seasonings and saves time....good luck!
I'm not sure if because you can't have olives, you can't have olive oil either. Sorry if you can't, and just ignore any of these recipes with it.

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese





1 small can cooked chicken





1 small can diced green chilies (optional)





Mix rice, cheese, and chicken. Spoon into soft shells. Roll up burrito style and cook until golden brown in a bit of butter.
Here is one of my favorites. Take a Potato/yam and half inch cube it and pop it in the microwave for about 3min and at the same time chop half an onion with semi long cuts and saute it down with some butter once the starches are soft toss em in with the onions until they brown, add plenty of spice of your choosing. salt and pepper is fine, but i like to throw Cajun seasonings in there make it nice and spicy. Once starches are browned and onions are soft and brown put all in a bowl and then using the same pan fry 1 or 2 eggs and then put that on top of the potatoes and onions. Poor mans skillet. takes about 10min to make and is a great source of carbs and protein!!!!

Are there any recipes for a healthy chocolate frosting?

i would really like to find a healthy chocolate frosting recipe!!!....Are there any recipes for a healthy chocolate frosting?
Hey Emily,





It really is hard to create a GOOD Frosting by substituting all ingredients. I do it if I'm just making something for me, but I ALWAYS make a PROPER Frosting if it's for someone else.





You need to remind yourself of the GOOD, HEALTHY aspects of regular ingredients:





Dark Chocolate has antioxidants, Use Sugar in the Raw (you can use a Coffee Grinder to make it fine), Use Organically Produced Milk, Cream or Butter.





We need to remember that it's usually the Process in which these products are Created and Distributed that make them Un-Healthy.





I agree with Angela Q. Use the BEST ingredients you can, eat less of it, and take an extra-long walk or bike ride to compensate.





And ENJOY! Food is MEANT to be Enjoyed, not Worried About!





Hope I was Helpful.Are there any recipes for a healthy chocolate frosting?
Lower fat chocolate frosting recipies:





2 C icing sugar


1/2 C cocoa


1/4 C water





Mix cocoa and sugar. Add water until desired consistency is reached.





Here's another:





1 teaspoon cornstarch


2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder


1 1/4 cups Splenda sugar substitute


3 tablespoons nonfat milk


1/2 cup butter


1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa





Directions


1) In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and butter until butter has melted.


2) Whisk in the dry milk, cornstarch, and Splenda.


3) Heat the mixture and stir constantly until thickens, (do NOT let it boil).


4) Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes.


5) Add vanilla extract and unsweetened cocoa and whisk vigorously until well combined.


6) Cool before frosting.








Hope these help!
Yes there is..................


The simplest dairy-free, vegan icing or frosting recipe you can make only contains two ingredients: powdered sugar and water. It's great on angel food cake, pastries, donuts, and cookies. It takes only five minutes to make.





You can add more or less water to get the consistency you need. You can also change the flavor by adding vanilla, almond, peppermint, or other extracts, though these aren't necessary.





(Note: Because regular powdered sugar is not a vegan ingredient due to the processing methods used, strict vegans will need to either make their own powdered sugar or purchase a vegan powdered sugar such as Hain Organic Powdered Sugar)





Ingredients


4 c. powdered sugar


1/4 c. water


1/2 t. vanilla, almond, or other extract (optional)





Directions


Blend with a spoon until smooth and creamy.
Fat-free ';frostings'; taste gross, and reducing the amount of chocolate to make something ';healthier'; results in an abomination. Make the best stuff and eat less of it.

Fruit pizza. Buy one roll of sugar cookie dough. Spread it out like you would a pizza crust into the bottom of a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool for another 15 minutes. While the cookie dough is baking, mix together 1 package of cream cheese, 1 small can of marshmallow whip. When the cookie dough is cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture over it. Then top with any fruit you like. I usually put sliced strawberries, kiwi, blueberries on it. You could also use pineapple, blackberries, raspberries, etc. Everyone I know loves this when I make it and it's super easy!
This recipes is really simple and delicious, it meets all your requirements. Enjoy trying.

How about Chicken Cordon Bleu? Flatten the chicken breast out. Sprinkle inside with salt and pepper then layer some swiss cheese and ham inside (maybe some spinach leaves too if you have them). Fold over, secure with toothpick and then bake in the oven.





In fact, sometimes I like to stuff the chicken with mozzerella and pepperoni, then cook and then smother with some spaghetti sauce served over pasta.





I love stuffing chicken breasts cause you can stuff with practically anything, its easy and its seems somewhat fancy even thought its really not!
I like to take 6 thighs and skin and wash them.Put in large deep skillet.Fry down with lid on.Add 1 can stewed tomatoes,1/2 cup chopped onions,1/2 bell pepper,3 cups zuchini squash(sliced).Once all is in pan sprinkle garlic powder,onion powder and salt on top.Make sure to add enough water to cover all.Serve over rice.
Place chicken pieces in an oven proof baking dish.I like using bone in and the skin on as it's more flavourful,but your choice.Boneless skinless is fine also.


Sprinkle generously with lemon pepper and a bit of salt.


Bake till almost done and golden brown.


Add a can of cream of mushroon soup (not diluted) to the chicken and finish baking till chicken is well done.


Delicious.


I serve this with a green veg (green beans,peas etc.) and rice or noodles using the sauce from the soup for the rice etc.
saute chicken au jux.

Wash and pat dry and place on a double sheet of tin foil.


In a small bowl mix a table spoon of salt, tablespoon of crushed rosemary, a table spoon of sage (or oregano). Rub the salt and the herbs together with your fingers. Now, rub this inside and out side of the chicken. Wrap in the foil leaving the crease on the top side (so you can easily unfold and peek into in about an hour. Put the foil package on a shallow oven pan and place into a hot oven for about an hour + until cooked.
well one of our favorite things to do when frying or baking chicken breasts is to just season it with taco seasoning. its really good!

I want to cook something amazing for my boyfriend but I don't know any good recipes. Suggestions?

guys love this as well .


Here's a cheeseburger casserole recipe that I created. We all love it, including our 5 year old. You might want to double it for your neighbors because their family is so large. :





1 lb. ground beef


1/4 onion, minced


1 cloves garlic, minced


14 1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes


2 cups raw macaroni, (cook according to package directions and drain)


1 can Campbells Cheddar cheese soup


salt %26amp; pepper to taste





Saute the onion and garlic in a little olive oil. Add the ground beef and brown. Add the diced tomatoes, including the liquid in the can. Simmer until the liquid is mostly reduced...5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the macaroni and Cheddar cheese soup. Heat through.I want to cook something amazing for my boyfriend but I don't know any good recipes. Suggestions?
You can do either a Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo for him or make him some steak.





For the chicken Alfredo, you'll need skinless boneless chicken breast, cook them (you can pan fry or grill) and cut into small pieces. You'll need fettuccine noodles, just boil them, then drain out the water. You can purchase Knorrs Pasta Sauces (they have Alfredo sauce) for only 99 cents, and add a packet onto the fettuccine along with like 陆 cup milk and some margarine. The packet of Alfredo sauce will give you better instructions for that. Then throw in the cut up chicken and serve with a bit of Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes over top. Serve with Texas toast garlic bread.





If you want to make a steak, season it with steak marinade and McCormick steak seasoning and then pan-fry. Serve with baked potatoes (which can be microwaved) and some steamed broccoli or canned corn.I want to cook something amazing for my boyfriend but I don't know any good recipes. Suggestions?
How about Chicken Parmesan?


Preheat oven to 350.


Take chicken breasts, trim the fat, rinse in water, pat dry. Then, flatten them out with either a meat mallet or even a pan to about 1/4 inch. You can put them in a ziplog bag to keep it in one place.


Cover the bottom of a pan with olive oil and put on medium/medium high heat.


Then set up breading station. Have a plate full of flour, a bowl of 1 beaten egg (maybe 2), then a plate with Italian style breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese.


Lightly cover chicken with flour. Then dip in the egg. Then cover wtih breadcrumbs. Once you do this with all the chicken put the chicken in the pan and brown on each side. Don't let the chicken cook all the way through.


Put tomato sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish. Then put the chicken pieces. Cover with more sauce and add mozzarella cheese or any Italian cheese mixture you like (provolone, parmesan, romano, etc.). Bake until the cheese melts and the chicken should be done at that time too.


For dessert, you can cook sliced strawberries with balsamic vinegar and sugar on the stove. It's really good over vanilla ice cream.
Men love meat so I suggest making a slow cooked pot roast. You take a chuck roast, cut slices all over it and put chunks of garlic in it. Next you will want to brown the meat on both sides with some olive oil. Put the roast in a large baking pot with carrots, onions, mushrooms, potatoes, red wine and beef broth (1:1 proportion) cover and cook at 300 degrees for 2 and half to three hours (the longer you cook it the more tender the meat will be). The most important thing to remember is absolutely do not take the cover off of the pot until you are done cooking it. I have never met anyone, especially any man that does not love this recipe, I know your boyfriend will love it too!

I cooked once for mine carribean jerk chicken and the flavor blew him out of the water. I got the recipe from AllRecipes.com, but left the peanuts out and used less peanut sauce.


I'll mention because it was so funny at the time that the best he could do was a dish of macaroni and hot dogs-yech!
Try making a carbonara dish, but with a little twist, instead of adding mushrooms, add tuna instead. uhmm.. its nice if you could spice it..just a little bit atleast. gives the extra taste. and for dessert..a cheesecake would be the best :P hehe
Eggplant parmesian, some kind of chicken (teriyaki, maybe), and baby potatoes with herbs and butter or some kind of yellow rice.





Some wine, decorate (you and the table - wink wink), and you're good to go!
Prime Rib Roast. Easy, impressive, delicious. Please don't cook it more than medium, medium rare is better.





Bert
chicken parmesan.. its so easy.. make chicken cutlets.. add marinara sauce and some sliced mozzerella cheese.. put under the broiler for 5 mins.. sooo yummy


if you dont make your own sauce from scratch.. use vincents.

Check out this web site: www.tasteofhome.com
try allrecipes.com they have some good stuff
Get a whole trout, stuff it with tasty vegetables (whatever seems like it would be nice. I use chopped plum, spring onion, grated carrot, ginger and lime juice, but you could use anything).





Wrap the whole stuffed trout in foil and bake at the same heat you would roast a chicken at, for about forty minutes. You'll have a tasty and very spectacular dish that is also easy and very forgiving if you don't cook often. Whole trout is impressive, but stuffed baked trout is easy to get right.





I suggest something almondy for dessert, and then you can use the almonds as part of the trout stuffing, since trout and almonds is a traditional combination.
Here's a few to choose from:








(The Cola Chicken recipe is my favorite for wings %26amp; ribs!)





COLA CHICKEN


(And more variations of recipe)





4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


1 cup catsup


1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)





Put chicken in a non-stick pan.


Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.


Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.


(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from


sticking to pan)


Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce


becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.


It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!





You can double the recipe and use more pieces of


chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot


sauce....presto ';Hot


Wings';!


I have used Ribs, just as good.





I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally


as good...served over rice.





I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small


jar of Salsa (any variety).





I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).


You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be


messed up....wouldn't you??


Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe


using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my


husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed


Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out


the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might


be a little sweeter than some of you like.





I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)


but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).





Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.





Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the


catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!


Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that


great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.





Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see


myself making this again.


Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as


good over noodles.





How about using the little cocktail weiners/sausages?

LOBSTER PARFAITS





1 1/2 cups chopped onions


3/4 cup chopped carrots


3/4 cups chopped celery


4 cloves garlic, smashed


3 bay leaves


1 cup distilled white vinegar


3 lemons, quartered and juiced


3/4 cup salt


2 tablespoons cayenne pepper


2 (1 1/4-pound) lobsters


8 cups mache or a chiffonade of mixed greens


Cilantro-Avocado Dressing, recipe follows


1 1/2 cups halved teardrop tomatoes


1 1/2 cups diced hearts of palm


1 1/2 cups orange segments, white pith removed


Fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish





Set a 6-quart stockpot with 1-gallon of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, vinegar, lemons and juice, salt and cayenne pepper. Bring the pot to a boil and allow to cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Place the lobster into the water and cook until red and cooked through, about 7 to 8 minutes. Immediately immerse in ice water to halt the cooking. Once the lobsters have cooled, remove from the water and set aside.





Use a chef's knife to crack the shell of the lobsters and remove the tail meat and claw meat. Chop the lobster into 1/2-inch pieces, and set aside. Place a sixth of the greens into each of 6 large chilled martini glasses. Drizzle a little of the dressing over the greens. Place 1/4 cup of the tomatoes in each of the glasses, as well as 1/4 cup of the hearts of palm, 1/4 cup orange segments and a sixth of the chopped lobster. Drizzle more of the dressing over the parfait and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately.
