Recipes in Main Dishes & Quick Breads Cookbook
The following is a list of the recipes in my "Main Dishes and Quick Breads Cookbook." I can't
emphasize enough how nutritious these recipes are for you.
All recipes listed below are fat-free, low fat, sugar-free, wheat-free, gluten-free, additive-free, lower calorie, natural
and uncomplicated.
Note: I do not give a breakdown of calories, carbs, fat, fiber etc. for each recipe. I do however give a "nutritional background"
for each of my main ingredients throughout my cookbooks, and on the
"My Ingredients"
page on my website. My natural recipes are naturally lower in calories, fat, and high in fiber. Our bodies recognize and understand
natural foods, but do not recognize or understand refined foods.

Honey Cornbread
This delicious, healthy honey of a cornbread tastes even better than the manufactured, boxed "Jiffy" cornbread
mix.
-
Sour Cream & Chives Dinner Muffins
These are wonderfully delicious and simple to make. They are gluten-free, tender, moist and brimming with
fat-free sour cream & chives taste! No artificial, harmful chemicals here or in any of my recipes.
-
Cheese Puff Drop Biscuits
It was hard to make biscuits without using wheat flour. But I think these are great! You'll want seconds.
-
Cheese Quick Bread
This is tasty and filling. You may use your cheese of choice. The flours I use are high in fiber, extremely
nutritious, and one flour is a complete protein.
-
Sweet Potato Bread
This recipe is based on American Indian recipes. It is high in nutrition and fiber, and is practically a meal in itself!
It's also wonderful with some natural fruit jam or honey on each piece.
-
3 Cheese Muffins
A cheese lovers delight! I love these as a snack or with a meal. I eat a little cheese daily because it is so healthy.
Boy these muffins are good.
-
Onion
and
Sage Patties
I created these because the additives in boxed dressing and stuffing mixes made me ill. These are like a
"dressing in a pattie". They are healthy and very low calorie. I especially love to make them in the spring when
Vidalia onions are in season.
-
Potato Pancakes
These are wonderful, can be eaten at any meal, and are low calorie as are all my recipes. I use potato flakes
because they don't effect my inflammatory conditions as whole potatoes do.

I try to avoid sandwiches in order to avoid too much bread. But these fun sandwiches are truly enjoyable, tasty
and don't cause weight gain.
-
Quick Mini Pizza

toasting a piece under the broiler, adding cheese, or any other favorite topping. This is the only recipe in my
cookbook that cannot be 100% gluten-free.
-
Gluten Free Quick Bread
This is for people such as those with Celiac Sprue, who cannot tolerate the low gluten bread recipe.
-
Your Favorite Eggs

good source of protein, iron and the yolks contain lecithin which breaks down fat in the body.

Toad-In-The-Hole Eggs
An old favorite called by other names. These are so easy to make, great fun to eat, whether for one person or the
whole family! And best of all, no added fat.

cooked cereals several variations in which to satisfy your tastes.

I mix some healthy flavorful ingredients into the ground chicken for additional taste and moistness.
-
Just Like Golden Fried Chicken
You won't notice that this isn't regular fried chicken. It is so crispy and crunchy! And no added fat!
-
Buffalo-Style Turkey
or
Chicken Wings
These are truly great. They are one of my few low fat recipes instead of fat-free because the skin is left on and
there is a small amount of butter in the sauce. I eat them as a treat.

This is a fast, oven-baked way to have mouth-watering chicken.

agree.

absolutely cannot tell that the macaroni used is made from whole grain rice.

Cuban Style Black Beans
These beans are really tasty, eye appealing and nutritious. I have a low fat recipe and a fat-free recipe on this
page in my cookbook.
-
I Can't Believe I Like It
Spinach Quichie Casserole
(with optional green vegetable)
This baked dish tastes yummy even if you're not fond of spinach. But any green vegetable will work great in this
recipe.
-
Au Gratin Potatoes
Au Gratin means with cheese, and I love cheese! I rarely eat white potatoes because they make my arthritis worse.

or
A Lot Spicy Rice

are high in nutrition, fiber and beta carotene.

Fresh
or
Canned Green Beans
You don't have to add a pound of chemical laden ham hocks or bacon to make green beans taste great. I show
you how.
-
Dressings For Salads, Cole Slaw
and
Fruit
Commercial dressings are a chemical buffet. The next time you're in the supermarket, read some labels. My
recipes are just as tasty, but safe and healthy.
-
Fantastic Fruit
I eat at least 2 or3 helpings of fruit daily. I created quick and simple ways to make eating fruit an eye appealing
taste sensation.
-
Pizza
It's easy to choose healthy and safe toppings, isn't it? The problem is the crust! It's too much of a hassle to make
from scratch, and the commercial ones are additive laden, and weight promoting. I have an answer! This crust is
made with whole grain brown rice flour, mixed in one bowl and spread with a spoon into the pan just like you'd
spread frosting. Literally, in minutes, you're ready to add your toppings, for which I give many suggestions. You'll
love it. It reheats in the oven even better and crispier.

Crunchy Snack Mix
A healthier version of the old favorite.
(Cannot Be Gluten Free)

and
Honey Treats
(No Bake)
A healthier no bake alternative to candy, with suggested variations.
