Bobotie

Bobotie is a South African dish. Since two of my great-uncles emigrated to South African many years ago, I figured I would try making this dish in their honor. I saw the picture and thought it looked like just Greek pasticho (which is like the Greek version of lasagna). I have decided that many cultures […]

Mango Chutney

I made this chutney as one of the ingredients for my bobotie, a South African dish. Check out the recipe: http://www.cookingupjustice.com/bobotie. Unfortunately, because I was adding to the other dish, I completely forgot to take a picture. The serving size of this recipe is just enough to be added to bobotie. Feel free to double […]

Ranch dressing

You won’t believe this ranch dressing is actually non-fat. Making your own “buttermilk” by souring skim milk and combining it with non-fat Greek dressing will leave your taste buds thinking the fat is still in the dressing!

Lentil Chili

On a cold day, it’s nice to warm up with a bowl of chili. You don’t need meat to make it a hearty meal. Lentils and beans are a great high protein way to feel satisfied. Sign up to receive notification of my next recipe.

Better than Red Lobster Garlic Herb Biscuits

My eight year-old was manipulated by Daisy Cottage Cheese commercials. I did warn her she wouldn’t like cottage cheese, but she insisted. I figured I could spend the $3 on cottage cheese because if she did like it, it is a healthy protein-based food. Alas. She did not like it. So I started looking for […]
