View Full Version : Suggest a Favorite CL recipe

I'm in the mood to try out some new CL recipes and thought this would be a good question to pose for suggestions:
If you had to suggest ONE CL recipe that is an absolute must-try what would it be???
Although it's extremely difficult to name only one--off the top of my head, I would probably say Mexican Chicken Casserole.

Fettucini Alfredo with either:
chicken & broccoli thrown in or
Broccoli and canadian bacon or
peas and bacon
I would say the angel biscuits which should be on the CL website. (I make them with butter in place of shortening though.)
My all-time fav. has to be the French-Bread Pizza with Sausage, Clams and Mushrooms. It's very easy to make, travels well for lunches and can be made ahead. Many times I have made the topping in advance and then all I have to do is put it on the french bread, sprinkle with a little cheese and bake! It's fabulous!

I absolutely love Brie and Caramelized Onion Stuffed Chicken Breasts. I'm not sure which issue it originally appeared in, but I have it in the Special Edition - Best of Cooking Light. Let me know if you are interested and I will post it.

I should preface this by saying that I rarely try the more elaborate CL reicpes (don't have enough time, kids won't eat them, etc.), so my viewpoint is somewhat limited. That said, I love the White Bean Enchiladas that were in a Reader Recipes section sometime last year. They are easy and good, and DH and one out of the two kids will eat them!
I would have to say:
Jamaican Banana Bread!!! it is soooo good and light!!! always a winner
You did not say if you wanted a main dish, a salad, a dessert, etc. So,
My favorite main beef recipe is Classic Beef Tenderloin from Dec., '99, page 99.
My favorite main pork recipe is Pork Tenderloin with Dried Cherry Chutney and Caramelized Onion Sauce from April, '99, p. 117 and 118.
My favorite salad recipe is Strawberries and Feta Salad from May '99, p. 168.
Now the hard part: dessert--my favorite part of any meal. It would be a tie between the Mixed Fruit Cobbler from March 2001, the Mocha Pudding Cake from June '98, p. 98.
If you want any of these recipes, I will be glad to post them.

My favorite recipe is the Cinnamon Apple cake. I think it was in the Oct. '99 issue. It is fabulous!

Melissa, could you post that recipe when you get a chance?
Thanks!

I think for desserts, the Honeyed Apple Torte and the Jamaican Banana Bread are both winners! Both taste sinful, but are very light, so they can be enjoyed in summer and winter!
As a side dish, the Vidalia Onion & Feta Risotto is a favorite in our house. Actually, any of the CL Risottos are welcome in our home!
Main dishes are too many to list...just about any Pork Tenderloin recipe, or Beef Tenderloin Recipe. We also love the Balsamic-Glazed Tuna Steaks and the oven-fried chicken recipes! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

Red Pepper Pesto Pizza! I can never stop myself from eating the entire thing in one sitting!

Since someone already mentioned the Red Pepper Pesto Pizza, I'll add another of my favorite repeaters: Fettuccini with Tofu and Finger-licking Peanut Sauce from April. Easy, delicious, and can be made with any kind of pasta (is particularly good with whole-wheat pasta).
I have lots of favorites, but one I make time and again is Cannellini Beans and Greens on Garlic Toast

11/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg white
1 (5-ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350`. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring to form a streusel. Set aside. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover.

In terms of recipes I make over and over, I suggest the Blueberry Pound Cake from July 1998 (the one on the cover with lemon yogurt) and the barbecue chicken potpie from January 1998. We also really liked the jack cheese, red pepper, corn and green onion risotto that was in this year's April edition, I think.

There are two many to list just one recipe.

Pat,
I would love a copy of your Beef Tenderloin recipe. I have a large tenderloin in the freezer that is waiting to be used. I will have 8 people to dinner soon and have been looking for a good recipe. I hate to try something no one has tried when company is coming. THanks

It's hard to pick one...

During one of our sessions in Birmingham, our group was asked to name favorite CL recipes. Naturally this one was greeted by a lot of huh? and howdoyouspellits?
Great stuff, highly recommended (with a few minor tweaks) and the perfect thing for summer grilling:

I was considering making this for a dinner party this weekend; what are your suggested tweaks? Can I use a better cut of meat?
(heaving sigh of relief)
Thank you for even considering this recipe! I've gotten very possessive of it, even though it's CL's and not mine.
Rather than to type out exactly what I did again, please refer to an earlier review. I don't put in my two cents about recipes very often, so when I do, you can bet I think there's a reason! Anyway, here's the link: www.cookinglight.com/bbs/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20010228-1-000909-3.html (http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20010228-1-000909-3.html)
Two other comments: (1) While you could do it with a pricier cut of meat, frankly I don't see the need. I got a really nice top sirloin and it was terrific following the method I used. (2) I will be honest. The first time I made the chimichurri, I wasn't thrilled with it. Different strokes, so to speak... anyway, I subbed a whole other sauce. Don't get me wrong, CL's chimi wasn't bad-- it's just that I felt the dish deserved more, so in accordance I used another recipe Vanessa provided. I'd be happy to provide it if you want, but be advised, it's of the full-fat variety.

It's oh-my-gawd good, and fun to play around with (try adding sun-dried tomatoes, or ham). Plus, it really impresses the guests, and makes the whole house smell just terrific.

One of the best recipes ever is the Potato-Crusted Snappr from June '99. Flounder and halibut can be substitued successfully if snapper is hard to find. Even fish haters love this!
