This was a really hearty, tasty, and healthy dinner. I just seasoned mine with garlic salt and pepper. Thanks for sharing! -
Super easy and really tasty. Even meat lovers loved it. -
For someone who wants a flavorful, low-fat yet satisfying stew, this is it. DH has been looking for alternatives to salad for lunch, and he gave this 10 stars. I used brown rice and low sodium chicken broth, 2 cloves garlic (thanks Zee_RN), and served this with Rita L.'s awesome Spicy Butternut Squash or Pumpkin Biscuits with Pecans Recipe #77352 (made with mashed sweet potatoes instead of squash). Cooked this up Sunday and he will be enjoying it all week. Note: Dieticians recommend that healthy adults consume 30 mg. of dietary fiber per day. This recipe gives you 9 mg of that! -
I made this today using chicken broth instead of vegetable broth (didn't have any and I'm not a vegetarian; I was just looking for low-cal recipes). It was wonderful! I might add that the amount of garlic is not specified (it's in the instructions but not in the ingredients); I used 2 cloves, minced. The rice got a tad mushy but nonetheless the flavor was awesome. I had to stop myself at one bowl! After all, I was looking for low-calorie!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
