Hello all!
I need some help finding another recipe! I made a spicy peanut sauce the other night for some chicken I had in a stir-fry. Well it turned out AWFUL and basically tasted like warm peanut butter! YUCK! Does anyone have a tried, tested and true recipe that's nice and spicy and not overly powerful with the peanut butter???  Thanks for any help!

I am looking for the recipe for Pineapple Chicken that was either in Light and Tasty
or Quick Cooking magazine. I remember it had pineapple chunks and Waterchestnuts and the sauce had orange juice as an ingredient, please help! Thanks!

I have recently gone Low carb and am looking for some easy tasty recipes. All ideas are appreciated!!!

Would like to make a correction to the Filling ingredients for 'Mama's Hot Milk Cake', although it may not make any difference if the orange and lemon are very juicy. Also, the 'sweet milk' in the cake recipe is regular whole milk that you buy at the grocers.

Mary          walterm@vnet.net

                                            Filling for Hot Milk Cake

juice of 3 oranges and 2 lemons (rather than one orange and one lemon)
1 1/2 cups sugar

Cook over low heat just long enough for sugar to melt. Pour over cake while it's still warm and will soak into cake. Filling may be made a day ahead.


 

Re: Moderately healthy snacks for Tracy's children

                                                     Easy Chocolate Cookies
(makes 24) A low fat cookie with fiber? - I think I got this from RF4RP originally

1 box (15 to 20 oz) fudge brownie mix
1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1 cup Orange juice

Mix brownie mix, wheat bran, and orange juice together; batter will be thin. Spray baking sheet with non-cook spray. Drop by 2 tablespoons full onto baking sheet, 2 inches apart (leave plenty of room cookies spread). Cook at 375 degrees F. for 12 minutes (centers will be soft). Let cool at least 10 minutes before removing from pan to avoid breaking cookie.

                                                      Baked Chicken Nuggets

2 lbs boneless chicken (or you can buy cheap chicken thighs and skin and bone them yourself
2 cups nonfat milk (we use powdered milk made up regular strength) or enough to cover
4 cups crushed non-sweetened cereal – rice crispies, chex, corn flakes, bran flakes, etc
seasoning to taste (seasonal, salt-pepper-paprika, crushed rosemary-basil-oregano – whatever your children will like)

Cut chicken nuggets into 1 inch squarish pieces. Place in bowl, pour milk over, cover and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.  Crush and season cereal. Drain chicken. Roll chicken pieces in crushed cereal. (I put it in a plastic bag, drop in the chicken and shake vigorously.  We then freeze them on a cookie sheet in the freezer and when frozen solid, bag, LABEL and DATE.

To cook: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place on foil lined cookie sheet lightly sprayed with cooking spray or on well seasoned pizza stone. Bake 20-25 minutes or until done.

                                                   Vegetables and/or Fruit with Dip

Any vegetable your children will eat – carrots, celery, jicama, radishes, cauliflower or broccoli florets, turnip, raw green beans, Chinese pea pods, orange or tangerine segments, apple wedges (dip in lemon juice to prevent browning), banana chunks frozen with a toothpick stuck in for a handle, dried fruit, etc.

Cut peeled vegetables into smallish pieces. Refrigerate in individual zip lock bags or mix all together.  Provide very small containers (one for each child) of ranch dressing or other dressing that your children like, or a equal amounts of may and catsup with a little bit of mustard, mixed well, barbecue sauce (my son would eat anything but eggplant as long as it was drenched in barbecue sauce) or whatever your children will eat if they require dip.

                                                Yogurt Popsicles or Juice Popsicles

Use a plastic popsicle maker (Tupperware makes them but I see them at the dollar store often) or small paper cups with a popsicle stick.

Fill popsicle maker or paper cups with flavored homemade yogurt or a big container of fruit or vanilla yogurt. Stir in a little jam to sweeten it and freeze. Use flavors your children like (my son the barbecue sauce eater would eat peach/mango or lime yogurt or vanilla yogurt with plum or blackberry jam swirled lightly through it).

Use juice (not kool-aid or juice drinks) to make popsicles. If you do it in layers you can add bits of fruit to the popsicle. (Some children are absolutely delighted to find little bits of fruit in their popsicles and others are absolutely horrified.

Tracy was looking for quick healthy snacks for her kids. I have found that kids will eat about anything if they are hungry and “that’s all there is.” I’ve heard that picky kids need an average of 13-15 exposures to a food before they will try it. Be patient and keep putting a variety on that plate and before too long, they will really surprise you by picking something up and trying it. This works with my daughter like clockwork – I have to throw away a little bit each day and I’m careful to not talk about the food, but I get so excited on the 12th time because I know she’ll be trying it soon.

I set out a small plate of cut up raw veggies – carrot sticks, grape tomatoes, celery sticks, different color peppers, broccoli “trees”, cauliflower, zucchini “wheels”, cucumber, sometimes even radishes! I put little dishes of peanut butter & ranch dressing with it and it’s amazing what the kids will eat!

We also do a lot of fresh fruit at our house. Summer is the best time for so many wonderfully tasty fruits – strawberries, blueberries, apples & pears (put your pears in a brown lunch bag, wait a few days and they will ripen to a delicious soft texture), watermelon, honeydew, grapes, peaches, cherries, cantaloupe, bananas, pineapple, and the list goes on and on.

The trick with these snacks is to have the fruit & veggies already cut up and ready to go. I usually spend about an hour preparing them when I get home from the grocery. I cut up everything and put into storage containers or Ziploc bags, so that they are ready at a moment’s notice. I also go to the grocery once a week to make sure we always have fresh things on hand. Be careful not to overbuy.

My kids also love yogurt – you may have to work a little to cultivate this taste, but once you do, it is SOOO healthy! We buy “go-gurts,” the yogurt in the squeezable tube, freeze them and make go-gurt pops. The kids think they’re getting a creamy frozen treat, but Mom knows the value of the calcium!

The little orange peanut butter snack crackers are popular here, but like you, I got tired of paying for them. I put a blob of all natural peanut butter or almond butter on a plate with some saltines & a plastic knife, and the kids make their own.  They think it’s great fun & usually eat them like crazy.

We also keep lots of different kinds of nuts, pretzels, dried fruit (especially apricots) and crackers around for quick snacks on the go. I divvy them up into small sandwich bags ahead of time. My children love cracking open peanuts in the shell or pistachios. I have discovered that they also really like cashews, almonds and macadamias! Who knew? For us, variety is a key for getting kids to eat snacks. With pretzels, I vary the kind I buy. I’ll mix it up between the small twists, the little sticks, the kind that look like checkerboards, the thick sourdough bits, etc. String cheese is a staple in our fridge as well. Sometimes they just grab a slice of bread and eat it.

I also buy a big jar of all natural applesauce or peach sauce (from Trader Joe’s), freeze it in ice cube trays, put the cubes in a big plastic Ziploc bag, then take out a 3-4 cubes for a serving. The kids like it when it’s still cold & a little frozen.

I have found that the more invested the kids are in their food, the more likely they will at least try it or even eat it all. I let the kids help to peel veggies and prepare salads for dinner and they eat pretty good.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

I make this now and then as it is quick, good and everyone enjoys it. Thanks for reminding me I had this recipe !!!

                                                  Hash Brown Crust Pizza

3 cups hash brown potatoes ( thawed )
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 (8 ounce) can pizza sauce
3 ounces sliced pepperoni
1 small zucchini sliced thin
2 medium tomatoes, sliced thin
4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese ( I use a cup ) Put some on top of the sauce )

In a mixing bowl, combine potatoes, egg, Parmesan cheese, butter and salt. Press into the bottom and up sides of a greased 10-inch pie plate or an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Spread pizza sauce over the bottom and up the sides of the potato, within 1/2 inch of the edge. Top with pepperoni and mushrooms. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 400 degrees F
for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Makes 4 to 6 servings

I add other veggies sometimes like, green peppers, onions, olives and then I will use Italian sausage (pre-cook ) or hamburger to make a change.
