How to Make Walnut Waffles

Search Amazon.com for george foreman grill with removable plates


This is a super quick and easy waffle recipe that is light and crispy - and loaded with good-for-you walnuts. 

The beaten egg whites lend the lightness and crispiness to this recipe for waffles, but I decided to add in some walnuts just for fun and see how it turned out.  The result was one of my best tweaks ever and have decided this is my all-time favorite waffle recipe.

Try some of the other variations or serving suggestions - you can't go wrong!  These are also excellent dessert or dinner waffles.

High Fiber Dried Apricot Bar Cookies

This is a super easy to make, delicious recipe featuring some of my favorite ingredients - and it is also a bar cookie high in fiber.  This recipe combines nuts, oats, dried apricots and honey in a delicious bar cookie that is ready in minutes.  You simply mix the ingredients, bake, cool and cut!  They also freeze like a dream.

Try some variations as suggested as well with other dried fruits.  You can't go wrong with this recipe - and it only has 2 tablespoons of flour in it.

Pizza Made with Phyllo Dough, Feta Cheese, Basil and Tomatoes

This is a favorite recipe of mine from Cooking Light magazine though I try and change it up with what ingredients I happen to have on hand at the time.  The main ingredient though is the phyllo dough, which makes such a wonderfully crisp and light pizza.

This pizza also goes into the fridge and comes out crisp the next day!  It is very easy to make - just remember to thaw out the phyllo dough needed 2 hours before you assemble. 

Try it - I think you'll love it!

How to Make a High Fiber Meatloaf

If you're looking for a simple meatloaf recipe that is also high in fiber, this is your recipe!  I tweaked this recipe from a couple of recipes I've used and because I did not like the way the high fiber addition of oat bran dried it out, I decided to add a secret ingredient that ended up doing the trick to bring back the moisture - Greek style nonfat yogurt.  It turned out marvelously - try it - I think you'll like it!

Tarragon Chicken

If you are looking for a quick and easy dinner for yourselves or for company, this dish fits the bill.  It is easily prepared and the combination of tarragon with chicken and wine is absolutely divine.  Serve this with a green salad and a vegetable followed with a light dessert and you will have a simple yet elegant dinner to present in little time.

This is a French recipe I have used for 30+ years from an old Betty Crocker International Cookbook.  I did not have dry white wine so substituted Marsala wine and it was equally delicious.

Butternut Squash Pizza

If you are into vegetable pizzas, this one is for you!  This is a delicious revamp of a recipe I recently tried on a personal pizza crust envelope.  The results were fantastic.  I as usual added all but the kitchen sink as I always like to add spinach and feta cheese to anything made with butternut squash but my daughter was pointing out that goat cheese would be good in the recipe too.  The addition of fresh basil leaves also made it absolutely marvelously delicious!

For a different kind of pizza, try this squash pizza recipe - I think you'll like it!

Prime Rib Slow Cooker Chili

If you are looking for a super simple, tried and true recipe for chili, this is it!  You can also eliminate the meat and just make as a vegetarian chili as well or try some of the other suggested substitutions.  This recipe is made with pieces of leftover Prime Rib and think you'll like it!  Spice it up or down as much as you'd like but it doesn't get any simpler than this recipe.

Cabbage Rolls Made Easy - Sinfully Quick and Easy

One night when I was really pressed for time and needed to use up 2 ingredients - a head of cabbage and a 1 pound package of extra-lean ground beef - I was saved by my 30+ year old Betty Crocker International Cookbook.  Lo and behold, there was a recipe for a cabbage and beef loaf - I was very skeptical on reading it because it just didn't sound like it would be that good.

Wow - was I ever wrong!  It was so easy to prepare - you could even shred the cabbage or chop it with a food processor rather than shredding by hand - but even with that part of the recipe, I had this thing thrown together in minutes and in the oven! 

The flavors were fantastic.  I actually could not believe that the recipe turned out so well and happened to think it would probably go well with some mashed red potatoes in their skins so had thrown that on as well.  I got fantastic raving reviews on my 'cabbage roll' dinner and it truly was a sinfully easy feat to accomplish.  I almost - ALMOST - felt guilty accepting the kudos!  If you want to go the traditional route, see my original and traditional cabbage roll recipe on hubpages.com as well (although this one has the variation of a white sauce which is fantastic - and also the traditional sauce for those sticklers).

Don't forget - cabbage is very, very good for you - and cabbage rolls no matter how you make them are a great way to get your cabbage!
