The catch is that is must be on the PCRM or one of the associated websites (NutritionMd.org; The Cancer Project, Food for Life, 21-day kickstart). Mine is currently the Black Bean Burger. This recipe was also mailed out in June as a recipe of the week. For variety I have made it replacing the black beans with lentils and its equally as good although the flavour is a little milder. I use these burger patties on sandwiches, as burger patties in a bun, to stuff wholegrain pita bread, and as a 'meat replacement' on the side of a plate with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Having some of these in the freezer to take out when I want has become a staple. I have modified the recipe in one way - after making the patties it says to fry them in a little oil. I make the patties and place them on an oven tray and bake for 30 minutes. Turning at 15 minutes so each side browns a little. No change to taste and no need for oil.

I'm going to list all my favorites. I had this Breakfast Scramble when I took the Cancer Project's Food for Life nutrition classes with the wonderful Katherine Lawrence. (You've probably seen her videos by now. She's awesome!) http://support.cancerproject.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=3141.0 She also served us this Penne, Kale & Tomato Pasta. I think I ate three servings. lol http://support.cancerproject.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=4261.0&AddInterest=1021 NutritionMD's Brown Rice Salad is one I've made and enjoyed a lot. It's great to have alongside a salad for lunch. http://www.nutritionmd.org/recipes/view.html?recipe_id=260 I haven't tried these Lentil Burgers yet, but I'm expecting they'll be a hit with picky eaters. http://www.nutritionmd.org/recipes/view.html?recipe_id=698 I go back to NutritionMD's Hummus 2 over and over, though I leave out the red peppers. It's balance of flavors is perfect for me. http://www.nutritionmd.org/recipes/view.html?recipe_id=810 Have you guys checked out PCRM's recipe index? I just stumbled upon it. There are a ton of great ideas there! Some are repeats from The Cancer Project, but some are new ones I've never seen. Making me hungry! Haha. http://www.pcrm.org/health/recipes/index.html I think my hands-down favorite recipe has to be PCRM's Spinach and Mushroom Frittata. I've made it over and over, and loved it every time. I usually make 4 servings out of it, and it's perfect for lunch with a salad or other side. I leave out the tomato and use more mushrooms... I'm an addict. http://www.pcrm.org/health/recipes/recipe030512.html Molly Horn

When I posted yesterday I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone likes. I now have the added bonus of trying a new recommended recipe that I had missed. Specifically the Penne, Kale and Tomato pasta. That sounds great and I have fresh kale growing in the garden right now. I will also look onto the Hummus 2 recipe for a change form the one I have been using. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food - Hippocrates.

Most of the other recipes have been "jumping off points" to try new things like the whole world of dark leafy greens (kale, chard, dandelion greens, bok choy, etc) - the stuff that we always just walked past on the way to the lettuce. --Deb R

theodore Joined: 09/16/10 Posts: 641	RE: recipe with a catch Posted Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 8:40 AM Yeah I like the mushroom frittata's too. And the hummus. I think my absolute favourite has to be the blanco fiesta sandwiches: http://www.nutritionmd.org/recipes/view.html?recipe_id=733. So tasty and filling. Plus they're surprisingly high in omega 3's. Or as we call them in England: "bloody-unsaturated fatty acids." Never make assumptions. You'll end up being an A**, and the UMP will TION you. -- Coach Smiley -- Fresh Prince of Bel Air
