Mineral Rich Bone Broth

Handle

Select One

Be the first to review! | By Rita~

Select One

Inexpensive and RICH in minerals. Which is very easy to consume, digest and absorb. Bone broth is loaded with glycosaminoglycans which is good for your joints. Do use grass fed cattle, wild caught fish, and pasture raised poultry. This can be drank out of a cup, made into a soup, stews, sauces gravies. Hooves, feet and heads are the most gelatinous portions of the animal. It's Not a store bought broths containing brain-cell-killing MSG and artificial who knows what!

Bacon Surprise Cupcakes With Maple Frosting

Handle

Select One

Select One

Felt like I was in Competing in Cupcake Wars! The ingredients from Dining on a Dollar Recipe Contest -- Spring 2013 made it tricky to create a dessert. Must say I nailed it! Tender, soft crumb with hint of bacon and topped with Maple frosting complement each other perfectly. The budget ingredient ketchup and applesauce gave the cupcakes a sweetness and added moisture. A MUST MAKE! You won't be disappointed.

Jazzed up Creole Shrimp Salad

Fat Tuesday is today the first day of Dining on a Dollar And what better way then to enjoy is with a no cook meal made with my twist on a Remoulade sauce. Lent starting the day after making this is a good dish for abstinence from meat. Then when the days get hot its a cooling, refreshing eats! Enjoy the salad over a beg of greens, stuffed in an avocado or on Muffuletta or Baguette. If you double the dressing add a pound of cook pasta for a delish pasta salad. Try crab meat, or canned salmon or crawfish.

Langostino Risotto With Seared Scallops

Handle

Select One

Be the first to review! | By Rita~

Select One

Creamy risotto with langostino's, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms topped with scallops and bacon. Langostinos look like a small, stubby lobster with a sweet delicate taste. In place of some of the water try shrimp stock and or clam broth. But really not needed because this if full of flavor. FYI defrost scallops completely and wrap in paper towels with a weight on it to remove excess water to brown instead of steaming the scallops.

These chard sprouts are so easy and tasty with a nutty flavor. Enhanced even more with the addition of pine nuts. Roasted with paper thin garlic and then topped with Parmesan. Can be made 2 hours ahead then warmed just before serving. Best tasting sprouts should be picked bright and tight heads.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

3 Reviews | By Rita~

Select One

John was hinting for oatmeal cookies and I came across Katzen's Recipe #360115 recipe and thought why not tweak it to make it with oatmeal and gluten free and this is what I came up with. Thanks Katzen. ;) FYI almond flour can be made by simply processing raw almonds in the blender until they have turned into fine crumbs. Don’t over blend, otherwise you’ll make almond butter! It usually takes 5 second pulses for about 20 times.

Roasted Sunchokes/ Jerusalem Artichokes

Handle

Select One

1 Reviews | By Rita~

Select One

I just pulled up 20 pounds of sunchokes from one plant. A knobby tubers look a lot like ginger root is in the sunflower family. Its nutty in flavor and has a nice crunch No need to peel but does need a very good scrubbing with a stiff brush. Sunchokes also contain vitamin C, phosphorus and potassium and are a very good source of iron. This tuber is very rich in inulin, a carbohydrate linked with good intestinal health due to its prebiotic (bacteria promoting) properties. These benefits come at a healthy price; the food can have a potent wind-producing effect. Inulin a type of carbohydrate that is a derivative of fructose. We don’t have the digestive enzymes for this, and foods that we can’t digest cause gas. Which is why the seeds play a role in this recipe. They are in for flavor as well as helping with the bloating and gas. It's volatile oils reacts efficiently in treating the gastro-intestinal tract. The main properties of the herb make it an effective stimulant of gastric secretion, it regulates stomach functions; it has anti-inflammatory properties for the intestines; it is a gastric and intestinal antiseptic and diuretic. The seeds help in stimulating food appetite and digestion, As it does your breath good! The seeds are an excellent source of minerals like iron, copper, calcium, potassium, manganese, selenium, zinc and magnesium.

This is a raw salsa. Yes a raw Purple salsa. Mexico meets Japan in this recipe. Shiso (also known as perilla), is a member of the mint family with broad jagged edged leaves. A touch of red wine can be used if you can't get the red shisho which adds a cool color to the salsa.
