Plump buttery oysters in a creamy broth.

Ingredients
16 oz oysters shucked with liquor retained
4 cup fat free half & half
4 tablespoons margarine
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
old bay, moroccan rub, or whatever spice you like to kick it up a notch!

Directions

• In a medium to large pot, cook oysters in their liquor until they look plump and firm and the edges start to curl a bit.
• Turn heat to low. Add half & half, margarine, salt and pepper.
• Turn heat back up just a little, bring to just shy of a simmer, and heat the stew through. Do not boil. Stir occasionally.
• Best served immediately but will keep for a day or two in the fridge in a sealed container.

Sure, you can shuck your own fresh oysters. I’m way too lazy to do that, so I found a pint of fresh shucked oysters… liquor and all. Liquor is the liquid inside an oyster’s shell and is a key component of the stew’s flavor.

A pint of fresh shucked oysters.

The oysters just poured into the pan.

Simmer the oysters right in their broth.  At first, it is hard to imagine that these will become plump and juicy… but they do, and you will know it when you see it.  They’ll appear a bit more sturdy, and the edges will start to curl up just a bit.

Plump and yummy!

Once they’re firmed up a bit, turn down the heat and add in the rest of your ingredients.  Kick the stove back up a bit and heat the stew until it is warmed through and uniform.  You shouldn’t boil it, but I did bring it almost to a simmer.

Creamy and warm winter treat!

Add whatever spices you like.  Traditionally, Old Bay is the way to go.  I had a Pampered Chef moroccan spice blend I wanted to try, so in it went.  Wonderfully different!  At the point, the stew is really open to interpretation.  Add herbs and spices… serve it with oyster crackers… make it special!  We had ours just like you see it here.   Plain and simple!

About 1/2  cup makes a serving, and this recipe yielded approximately 5 cups.  To make a more traditional batch, use milk or cream where I used fat free half & half.  Real butter would replace the margarine.

I made this yesterday.  Just took a taste of it cold from the fridge, and it kept just fine.  Can’t wait to heat up some more for lunch tomorrow!

Hello little Wonderland Oysters! Into the pot with you!

My Sweet Prince holds his lunch up for us to see.

Wonder how this would do in a slow cooker?  I’ll have to try it!

My man's plate. Yum!

Ingredients
1 large tuna steak, big enough to serve 2 or 3 people
2 tablespoons sesame chili oil
salt and fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons creamy horseradish sauce, wasabi
3 green onions, sliced
1 lemon, juice of

Directions

• Drizzle sesame oil on both sides of the tuna steak. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat until butter is melted, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
• While sauce is heating, heat a heavy frying pan on another burner with high heat. Place tuna in pan and sear until crispy and brown. Turn and sear on the other side. About 2 minutes per side if you like it rare. Up to 5 if you like it well done.

Just a big ole thick tuna steak!

For starters, I bought just enough tuna to feed my husband and I.  I wound up with leftover sauce, but I don’t mind.  It is good!  To sear the tuna, you want the pan pretty darn hot before you put the tuna in.  Notice that you drizzle the tuna with the oil, and then you put the tuna in the pan.  You don’t heat the oil in the pan.  I think this is key to getting the nice crispy brown outside without burning anything.

One incredibly flavorful sauce.

I used real butter here.  I believe regular butter is fine when not consumed alongside a lot of white carbs.  I think your favorite margarine would probably be ok here, if that is what makes you happy.   I doubt it will taste quite as good as real butter would, but I don’t think it would completely ruin the effort.  There are 28 reviews of this recipe over on RecipeZaar.  I bet at least one of them touches on the subject.  You can get LOTS of info and ideas by reading through the recipe reviews.

As always, I used low sodium soy sauce.   Now, for the wasabi, I did not use the more traditional tubed stuff.  I happened to eyeball a Manischewitz Wasabi Style Horseradish sauce on the grocery store shelf.  Who knew?  Looked interesting and was cheaper per ounce.  And guess what?  It worked very well in this recipe.  I would not recommend it for a bonafide sushi sit-down, but to add flavor to sauces or sandwiches… it’s pretty darn neat!

My side-plate-sized lovely salad.

I sliced up the tuna and piled it on top of fresh spinach and sliced tomatoes to form a lovely salad.  I drizzled the sauce, in moderation, over the whole thing for a nice dressing.  Added a little fresh ground pepper over top.  It was a delicious dinner.

My buddy, TJ, gave me a link to an alternate recipe that looks well worth trying.  Maybe next week!

Mom's Artichoke Cheese Balls

Ingredients
16 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and mashed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Directions

• Mash 2 cans drained artichoke hearts.
• Put olive oil into frying pan.
• Saute cloves.
• Add mashed artichokes and eggs.
• Saute and stir about 5 minutes.
• Mix bread crumbs and cheese in bowl.
• Remove mix from heat, roll into balls, roll in bread crumb and cheese mixture.

Quartered Artichoke Hearts

I used canned artichoke hearts, though you should be able to use frozen or fresh ones you marinate yourself. (Google recipes for marinated artichoke hearts.)  I believe the canned ones come in marinades using things besides oil as a base.  Get the ones with the best nutritional stats.  I really don’t think it matters.  I did choose quartered hearts, as it made for quicker mashing.

Do the Monster Mash.

Though I used real eggs, I’m willing to bet that egg substitute would work just fine. For the garlic, I used chopped from a jar. I always keep a jar of chopped garlic in the fridge. I love fresh pressed, but these are a real timesaver for me much of the time. As for parmesan cheese, I believe we originally used the grated stuff in the green can. However, I never use anything but fresh shredded from the cheese case. I believe I used Sargento.

The breadcrumbs and cheese look on as the artichoke mash cools down a bit.

Pick whatever breadcrumbs sound good to you. Normally, I use Italian style. I picked a garlic & herb variety this time. Anything works. This is a key way to add unique flavor, though, so be creative. Plain will work, but it will probably bore you.  Add your own seasonings, if you so desire.  Don’t know how panko or ground up Fiber One would work here.  Might try that for a friendlier “throughout the year” recipe.  Wouldn’t dream of it for delighting Thanksgiving feasters.

The Artichoke Cheese Balls await their fate which lies down the gullets of fine Thanksgiving company.

Mom managed to get 24 Artichoke Cheese Balls out of this recipe.  Somehow, I only got 18.  I rolled them just a tad too big.   (Yes, we ate three at home.  Sorry. lol)

The red stuff is Suzy Q’s no sugar added cranberry sauce.  It just happens to be in the picture.  I don’t think I’d recommend it as a dip for the Artichoke Cheese Balls.  It is so yummy, though, that I made a batch to bring along.  I did offer up some healthier items to the cause, and that was one.  :)

Often overlooked, yet wonderful cranberries!

Ingredients
12 ounces (one standard bag) unsweetened fresh cranberries
1 cup water
1 cup Splenda
1 packet Crystal Light Orange Sunrise powder
1 packet sugar free strawberry jello powder (.3 oz)

• Rinse cranberries.  Place cranberries in 2-quart saucepan with 1 cup water.
• Stir in Splenda, drink mix, and jello powder.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
• Turn heat to medium-low and simmer, smashing and stirring every few minutes until cranberries have all popped and sauce has thickened.
• Serve warm, or place into covered container and refrigerate.

When I went into the kitchen to clean up for the night, I basically dumped all the ingredients into a pan and monitored them as I filled up the dishwasher and wiped down the counters.  I turned the stove off just shy of the desired thickness and stirred once in awhile as it cooled down right on the burner.   That’s how quick and easy this is to make.  In fact, once I make it for Thanksgiving, I remember just how tasty it is and continue to make it weekly throughout the winter.  It is WONDERFUL stirred into greek yogurt or just eaten by itself as a snack.  You can certainly freeze some bags of cranberries to make this throughout the year.  I like to leave it as a seasonal treat.

Fall scented simmer!

You can play with this recipe a bit.  The original recipe calls for raspberry gelatin, but I already had strawberry on hand.  It turned out great.  I am trying out peach on a friend a bit later.  Can’t wait to see how that comes out!  You can also swap out Crystal Light flavors.  The original recipe calls for orange.  I had Orange Sunrise on hand, so in it went.  Yes, I “went rogue” by swapping out Orange for Orange “Sunrise”.   By the way…  one of the new style long Orange Sunrise packets, intended for a 2 quart pitcher of Crystal Light, comes out to exactly 1 tablespoon.

Suzy’s recipe calls for cinnamon.  A pinch of cinnamon is a fantastic addition.  Be sure you don’t overdo it.  A pinch will do.  Not everyone in my house likes cinnamon, so I leave it out most of the time.  Suzy’s recipe also says you can make this in a crock pot.  How I overlooked that, I have no idea.  What a wonderful recipe to have simmering on the counter all day.  I just love recipes that double as holiday potpourri.  You can bet I will try that soon.  I will probably need to double the ingredients to make it in my slow cooker effectively.

Also, I have never tried, but I am betting this cranberry sauce could make a wonderful top layer for some sort of cheesecake or cream cheese based pie.  It is so easy and has many many uses.  I recommend you try it at least once, even if you don’t care for traditional cranberry sauce.

Ready for Snackin'

There it is in all its saucy glory.  It’s still pretty warm there, but it continued to thicken in the refrigerator overnight.  I just had some, mixed into Fage Total, for my breakfast.

I still don’t have much of an appetite in the morning.  So, these days I have a protein drink.  In the summer, I usually have some sort of coffee based ready-to-drink (RTD) protein.  I either have something like Atkins Cafe, or I make my own with Lean Body chocolate RTD, chocolate unsweetened Almond Breeze, and some instant coffee crystals.  In the winter, I want something warm.  So, I make myself a protein mocha.

Ingredients
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
1 shot of your favorite sugar free syrup
fresh brewed coffee

Directions

• Place the scoop of protein powder into a travel mug. My favorite is Nectar Chocolate Truffle, though I have done this successfully with Jay Robb chocolate whey protein, Lean Dessert Chocolate Fudge Pudding, and many others. Just about any brand will work.

• Add a shot of your favorite sugar free syrup to the mug. My two favorites are Da Vinci Dulce de Leche and Monin O’Free Caramel. (The Monin syrups are typically thicker. I like my phony caramel thick.) Just about any sweet flavor will work. You can even get crazy with some orange or almond flavored syrups. Get a spoon and stir… stir… stir. Stir until the protein is completely smooth. This is important. You want to smooth it out with that little bit of liquid before you fill the cup.

• Now, grab your fresh brewed coffee… which has either been sitting with the warmer off for at least 20 – 30 minutes… or, you’ve removed the lid from the pot, letting the steam escape while the coffee cools a bit. You DO NOT ever want to mix protein powder with liquid that is too hot. Doing so is what causes those nasty clumps. Fill your mug the rest of the way up with the coffee. I like to pour with one hand whilst stirring with the other. Be careful if you do this. Don’t burn yourself then blame me for it. You’ve been warned!

• Put the lid on your travel mug and sip away. Your Protein Mocha will make you nice and warm on a cold morning, and it will provide you with a decent amount of nutrients. I love these things. I drink them all throughout the year, but nothing hits the spot better on a cold winter morn. Sometimes I add a squirt of Hershey’s sugar free syrup to the protein powder / syrup mixture. If I want to treat myself, I will add a small spoon of Smucker’s sugar free caramel topping and / or a dollop of Cool Whip Free or fat free Reddi Whip.

The body best absorbs protein in the morning and just after workouts. Protein is also filling and will help keep you satisfied. And really, just about any flavor of protein will work… and any flavor of syrup will work. Go nuts with experimentation. Just stick to a protein powder that is lower in calories and carbs, and make sure you use sugar free syrups. There is no shortage of either out there. You can also do this with plain water, if you are not a coffee lover. I love coffee, and I love mochas, and I think the coffee covers up anything unpleasant about protein powder. In any case, the taste and quality of protein powder has come a long way. Even if you think you hate them, try one of the newer brands. You might be surprised.

These also make excellent snacks for chilly Autumn or Winter evenings.

Souffle #1 Before

Souffle #2 After

Yes, that topping tastes as decadent as it looks.  Recall that I swapped out the Splenda brown for some Joseph’s maple flavored maltitol syrup.  This wound up tasting just as good as the Splenda brown, but it didn’t make for a nice presentation.  I could have probably halved the amount of syrup.  I don’t know if that would have improved the presentation, but it surely would improve the stats (and the tummy discomfort some experience from consuming maltitol.)   If you should decide to make this recipe, even though I’ve concluded that sweet potatoes aren’t worth these kinds of stats, go with the Splenda brown.  It’s a more traditionally “crumbly” topping.  You’ll still need to “drop it’ across the top, but it will be much easier to deal with than this and prettier to look at.

This is a tasty recipe in its original form.  I just don’t think I can eat it in good conscience… not even on a holiday.  I would rather splurge my calories on a couple cookies.  But, that’s my overall opinion on any sweet potato casserole at this point.  After attempting sweet potato souffle #2, I’ve concluded that sweet potatoes are by far their best when tossed in a little olive oil and roasted alongside some butternut squash.  So, make of that what you will.

Ingredients
1 cup sweet potato puree
8 oz heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup Whey Low Gold
2 tbsp margarine
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tbsp ground flax
1.5 tbsp warm water
2 tbsp margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c Whey Low Gold
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 c chopped pecans

Directions

• Blend sweet potatoes, whipping cream, 1/2 c whey low gold, 2 tbsp margarine, cinnamon and ginger until smooth and whipping cream has somewhat thickened.
• Pour souffle mixture into an 8 x 8 baking dish sprayed with a little butter flavored non-stick spray.
• In a separate bowl, stir together flax and warm water. Add 2 tbsp melted margarine and the vanilla. Stir until blended. Add 1/4 whey low gold, oats, and pecans.
• Evenly top souffle mixture with the oat mixture. Bake at 350 for 45 – 50 minutes

Action shot!

Souffle #2 Before

Souffle #2 After

This recipe also had its presentation issues.  As you can see, the evenly distributed topping wound up sinking into the middle.  I believe this had to do with the souffle itself, and I will probably try a similar topping on something else one day.  It was good… kind of like granola.

I was not pleased with the outcome of this recipe.  It seemed pretty thin compared to what I was expecting.  I don’t think I could serve it right from the oven to the table.  However, something good came out of this.  I scooped it into a small round tupper and threw it into the fridge, deciding that it was a pretty decent mashed sweet potato recipe – though still higher in stats than a mashed recipe needs to be.  Overnight, it thickened and turned into a wonderfully decadent sweet concoction that I will very purposely use as a sweet potato pie filling one day.  I imagine a low carb nut meal crust, but it really doesn’t even need that.  If this were sitting beside a pumpkin pie on the dessert table, I would go for it.   Give me 1/4 cup and a spoon, and I’ll be off to the races.   And the stats probably are not so bad when considered as a dessert.

You can, of course, find this recipe in my SparkRecipes recipe box.

I have to run for now, but I do have a go-to sweet potato casserole recipe that I’ve been making for the masses for several years now.  I will make it again this year.  It is more like a traditional casserole… not a souffle.  Not that the souffle was much like a traditional souffle.  (Confused yet?)  It involves ginger and peaches, and I will post it very soon to conclude our little Sweet Potato Souffle Saga.

AH… one last note.  NanaLinda left me a comment suggesting I swap out a portion of the sweet potatoes with some butternut squash.  What a terrific idea.  I’ve had butternut in sweet potato’s stead, but it never would have dawned on me to sub some out here.  I may still try that with the ginger peach casserole.

I prefer sweet kittens over sweet potatoes. (For cuddling, silly!)

Ingredients
3 cups sweet potatoes (fresh or canned)
4 eggs
1 cup Splenda granular
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
1/2 cup flour

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Blend first 3 ingredients, 1 stick of margerine, and vanilla until smooth. Place in casserole dish.
• Blend last 3 ingredients and 1 stick of butter. Crumble evenly on top of sweet potato mixture. It may sink in a bit. That’s perfectly ok.
• Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
• Have a serving and be done. Try not to pick at the top all week!

I finally did up the nutritionals for it on SparkRecipes and was not very pleased.  They’re off the charts, and I can think of many things I’d rather have for the cost.  Having said that, this is a pretty tasty recipe.  If you make it as stated, it’s suitable Thanksgiving fare.

I tried to give this recipe a makeover by swapping out the Splenda brown in the topping with Josephs sugar free maple syrup, among other things, but I think I wound up with something too sweet for normal human consumption.  So much so, that I apparently pitched my notes in disgust.  Disgust that I didn’t come up with a makeover worth blogging about.  I was not too disgusted to eat some of it.  ;)   Unfortunately, for me, I think this recipe is just an excuse to eat the topping.  I’d probably be better off just making some cookies.

I endeavored to fashion a much healthier sweet potato souffle recipe with which I could try again using my leftover sweet potato puree.  I will reveal the recipe tomorrow.  Suffice it to say, I came up with a nice alternative to mashed potatoes… perhaps even a festive one.  Ultimately, though, I think I’ve decided that I will stick with a more typical sweet potato casserole when it comes to Thanksgiving.  I have one I like that involves ginger and sliced peaches.  You may well see that one next week.   Overall, I think I like simple roasted chunks of sweet potato w/ olive oil… or a baked potato with some Splenda and cinnamon.  I’m just not a big enough fan of the sweet potato casserole to warrant the less than stellar nutritional stats that seem to come with it.

Photos and notes for both recipes to follow tomorrow.  Always leave them wanting more… isn’t that what they say?

My husband's dinner is smiling at you.

Ingredients
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2/3 c Miracle Whip Light
1 (10 3/4 oz) can Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup or store brand equivalent
1 tsp – 1 tbsp curry powder

• Rinse chicken, pat it dry, and place in slow cooker. Keep it in a single layer as best you can.
• Mix the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl then pour evenly over the chicken.
• Cook on high for about 4 hours. Stir gently before serving.

THAT
IS
IT !!!

Obviously, this is not a true curry dish like you might find in an Indian restaurant.  But, if you like the taste of curry, do not deny yourself this so-easy-it’s-silly recipe.  Many would be happy with just a teaspoon of curry powder.  I go for 1.5 to 2 tablespoons, myself.

Any mayo will work, but I truly think Miracle Whip Light gives it a certain tang that I enjoy.  I’m otherwise not a big Miracle Whip fan, so that says something here.  Other cream soups will work, such as cream of mushroom.  Today, I actually used Safeway’s equivalent to Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Chicken.

In the past, I’ve added things like fresh sliced mushrooms or chopped onions.  Occasionally, I add other spices to complement the curry.  You can use chicken breasts if you want a bit less fat.  I prefer thighs, as they’re nice and moist and used most often in my favorite real curry dishes.

My small thigh and a couple slices of diced and peppered tomato. On a side dish, as always.

I served this to my husband with some Yoplait Light Thick and Creamy Key Lime yogurt.  Later, we may split a mango for dessert.

The best part, of course, is that you spend 5 minutes whipping this into your slow cooker and four hours later, you’ve got dinner.  It can go eight hours on low, but I think the sauce comes out better when cooked on high.  Either way… the house smells great, and it’s almost like someone else did the cooking for you.  Almost!

The sweet roasty goodness of Autumn veggies. Yum!

Ingredients
3.5 cups cleaned and cut acorn squash, raw
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1 large portabella mushroom cap, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon pumpkin seed oil
morton lite salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, toss squash, onions, and mushrooms with salt, pepper, and olive oil.
• Place into shallow roasting dish or on baking sheet. Roast in oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until squash is tender and sweet.
• Drizzle with the pumpkin seed oil.  That’s it!!!!  Enjoy.

This is the ultimate comfort food. Sweet, healthy, and simple! A little bit of fiber, the benefits of olive oil, and just a hint of protein. Squash is a veggie that is a little higher in carbs, but you’re clocking in just 12g or so per serving with this fine dish.

As you read above, I bought the pumpkin seed oil at Wegmans. You should be able to find it in the same section as olive oil in your grocery store or among the gourmet foods.  If you’re lucky, you can access a Wegmans and buy some pre-prepped acorn squash.  This allowed me to toss this together in record time.

Could I earn money as a Pumpkin Squeezer?

Even if you can’t get to a Wegmans, you can click those links to see the nutritional stats of each ingredient.

The original recipe called for shallots.  Alas, my shallots went off before I had a chance to use them.  No matter.  I threw in some regular white onion, and I added the sliced portabella cap, while I was at it.  You can add just about any vegetables you want.  Beets… carrots… potatoes… other kinds of squash.  Go ahead and clean out the veggie drawer.  Make sure the vegetables aren’t toooo overcrowded.  If you increase the overall amount of the vegetables, you might want to add a bit more olive oil.  (I don’t need to remind you to take into account the nutritional stats of any changes you make, right?  Especially potatoes will up the carbs.)

I love all kinds of roasted Autumn root vegetables, but the acorn squash was surprisingly sweet and warmed me up on a particularly chilly Maryland night.  I think you will love it, too.  The pumpkin seed oil added a lovely and tasty touch, but if you can’t find it… don’t let that stop you.  I find a shallow baking dish easier to deal with than a lined baking sheet.  Even with the oil, they still kind of stick.

Squarshies!

Broked Eggs Florentine

As I was flipping through What’s Up? Annapolis magazine, I ran across a recipe for Baked Eggs Florentine.  I happened to have all the ingredients here, for once, so I decided to have this for lunch.

Ingredients
2 large fresh eggs
1/2 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup chopped white onions
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, shredded
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees and place a ramekin or small casserole dish in the oven to preheat at the same time.
• While oven and ramekin are preheating, saute onion and minced garlic in olive oil over medium high heat in a pan for about 2 minutes. Add spinach and toss in pan for about 2 additional minutes.
• Remove ramekin from oven, spray with a little non-stick spray, and crack two eggs into it. Top with sauteed vegetables. Place dish back in oven and bake until the whites are fully cooked and yolks are still runny (or however you desire them) about 7 – 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and finish with a little parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Allow eggs to sit a moment before serving, as they’re pretty hot.

Sssssmoky saute.

Ready to go into the oven.

In the magazine, there is no mention of spraying the ramekin with non-stick spray, but I should have done this anyway.  I thought perhaps the olive oil would provide enough of a barrier to keep the eggs from baking to the dish, but in the end it stuck a little more than I’d like.  Nevertheless, this was still quite delectable.

It was a lovely surprise to have my husband home early for lunch… just around brunch time, in fact.  I doubled the saute ingredients and used the remaining half, along with some Southwestern style Eggbeaters, to make a nice omelet for him.   He prefers his eggs scrambly.

Spontaneous Florentine Omelet

That's Eeyore's arse.

While I was looking to see if this recipe was typed out online somewhere, I came across a video of the chef, William Paine, actually making his signature dish.  A couple of things he says in the video are slightly different from the printed version of the recipe.  I imagine this is probably because the printed version is more suitable to make at home.

In the video, he puts the oven to 450 degrees.  In the article, he says 425.  He only bakes them for about 3 minutes, while the printed version states 7 to 10.  He also is very good at tossing things around in the pan, while I kludged along with my spatula.  I also broke one of the yolks at cracking time, but that didn’t wreck this dish at all.  I might just keep one whole and crack one on purpose the next time.  And FINALLY, he uses non-stick spray in the video.  Curses!
