Pumpkin Muffins (healthy!)

By Alissa -
(I might have posted this one already, but I couldn't find it)

2 cups Low-fat Bisquick
15-oz can of pumpkin
1/2 cup Egg Beaters
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup Bakers Cake Pastry Filling- Prune Plum flavor*
1 cup All Bran With Extra Fiber
1/2 cup skim milk

Add milk to All Bran. Set Aside. Mix together pumpkin, Egg Beaters, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and Prune-Plum filling. Stir in bran/milk mixture. Stir in Bisquick. Spray muffin tin with non-stick spray.** Split mixture evenly between 12 muffin cups. Fill muffin cups very full. Mix together some sugar and cinnamon for topping- sprinkle evenly over tops of muffins. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

* You could also use the Apple flavor. You can find this in the baking goods section. It comes in a jar.
** Do not use paper cups. These muffins do not have enough fat in them to separate from the paper- they will stick
*** these freeze well.

each muffin: 120 cal, 2g. fat, 8g fiber, 1 point (WW)

Yum. I'm going to add this to my list of things to bake this weekend (and I'll update the links on the side this weekend, too)...can you taste the all bran or do you just take pumpkin?
And did you bake them with prune or the apple stuff?

I used the prune-plum. I have to say that I love these muffins, but others might find them a little bland. The top part with the sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top is the very best part. :) I was thinking that next time I might try adding more sugar to the main recipe. So, yeah, they do taste somewhat like bran muffins, but they're definitely not as "bran-y" as regular bran muffins. And the pumpkin keeps them really moist.

she's not kidding about the moist. These are SO good and SO easy. Thanks for the jar of filling, Liss! I am presently enjoying a pumpkin muffin!

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
