Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Tuscan Winter Vegetable Soup - Recipe Adapted from " The Strang Cookbook for Cancer Prevention, " by Laura Pensiero and Susan Oliveira (Dutton, 1998). What a great find: this traditional Tuscan winter soup comes from a cookbook filled with recipes designed to reduce your risk of cancer. The soup is flavorful and hearty, a nutritious winter meal by itself, with phytoestrogen-rich chickpeas that add a creamy consistency with minimal fat, as well as vitamins A, C and folate from carrots, celery, tomatoes, and chard, glucosinolates from cabbage, and colon-protecting fiber. But the best news of all is that Tuscan Winter Vegetable Soup is absolutely luscious, a satisfying way to warm up your family on the long dark nights of winter. http://www.care2.com/go/z/18969 ====================================================== ====================================================== Southwestern Winter Squash Chowder - Recipe Adapted from " The Compleat Squash, " by Amy Goldman (Artisan, 2004). This thick and hearty chowder was made for family evenings around the fire: intensely flavored, creamy, and comforting, with a cheery bright orange color that signals the presence of cancer-fighting anti-oxidants, and enough zesty Southwestern spice to warm up even the coldest nights. Filled with winter squash, corn, peppers, and potatoes, this bountiful, beautiful recipe from heirloom-squash expert Amy Goldman is a real winter treat. She also includes instructions for an even lower-calorie version! http://www.care2.com/go/z/18971 ===================================================== ===================================================== Classic Wholegrain Popovers - Recipe By Cait Johnson, author of " Witch In the Kitchen, " (Inner Traditions, 2001). When my son was little, one of his favorite outings was to a local seafood place that served popovers warm from the oven along with heavenly strawberry butter. Truthfully, we could have made our meal out of just those popovers! I always thought there must be some mystique to making them, but one snowy day when he had a craving for popovers but we couldn't go out to get any, my son convinced me to try making a batch myself and lo, and behold--it was easy, and they were delicious! Now you can make them, too. Popovers work equally well as a breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner-side, or dessert. At this time of year, we like them with apple butter or pumpkin-flavored butter (recipe included), but plain butter works fine, too. And you don't need special popover cups, either: a muffin tin or custard cups will work just fine. http://www.care2.com/go/z/18973 ====================================================== ====================================================== Pumpkin Pecan Bread - Recipe Inspired by " Soup Makes the Meal, " by Ken Haedrich (Harvard Common Press, 2001). This melt-in-your-mouth quick bread is perfect to bring along as a hostess gift, or to serve family and guests for breakfast or alongside dinner. Moist, spicy, and filled with the beta-carotene goodness of pumpkin (and a perfect use for leftover pumpkin puree!), Pumpkin Pecan Bread is a recipe you'll want to keep and use again and again. http://www.care2.com/go/z/18975 ==================================================== Eden Foods Featured Recipe: Holiday Coffee Cake http://www.care2.com/go/z/18978 ==================================================== ==================================================== ==================================================== Stovetop Baked Apples - Recipe Inspired by " Vegetarian Meals for People-on-the-Go, " by Vimala Rodgers (Hay House, 2002). This makes a fabulous quick-and-easy dessert: it takes so much less time than the oven-baked version, but the results are just as healthful and delicious. They may be served warm or cold, and you can even fill the hollowed apples with granola for a super-nutritious breakfast. A lovely treat for the holidays that won't break your calorie allowance for the day! http://www.care2.com/go/z/18981 ==================================================== ==================================================== Melissa's Featured Recipe: Santa Fe Christmas Stuffing http://www.care2.com/go/z/18984 ==================================================== ==================================================== Westsoy Featured Recipe: Garlicky Potatoes http://www.care2.com/go/z/18986 ================================================= ================================================= The difficult place that the U.S. is in can not be diminished by waging more wars. The violence done in our name generates more violence and hatred against us. The solution arises from changing our attitudes about other people. We need to stop the theft of their resources and labor and begin to treat others with respect and dignity. RossCannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
