Good Recipes/Ideas To Reuse
I've always wanted to have a table of contents when it comes to recipes I like to make that are actually good for me. It's too easy to remember the 'bad' and super tasty recipes while completely forgetting about the good food ideas that are better for day to day use.
I'm structuring this by main ingredient type, mostly, because I shop by sales or fresh farm produce. Knowing what I need to use up is far more useful to me than meal type organization. I've also got a few of the meal types that we like to eat the most (or to specify what is good for trips). Also, I want to keep things that Kon would especially like that don't immediately come to my mind since I'm generally sweet avoidant even in the case of fruit.
Note, these are (mostly) healthy lifestyle recipes, so if I'm made you something sinfully delicious before, it's likely not on here. :B I'll update them as I make them as to how they're liked.

Drinks
Coconut Latte
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Sierra Strawberry Smoothie A++
Baked
Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Cocoa Oat Breakfast Muffin
Bran Flax Muffins
Blueberry Flax Muffin A These are really good and freeze really well. I could take one frozen in my bag to work and eat it as a mid-morning snack just fine. Remember, I don't like many sweets, so I find these plenty sweet as is.
Kittencal Spinach Parm Rice Bake
Odd Carbs
Cottage Cheese Pancakes A - Add walnuts/pecans and process that with the oatmeal first, then go for the rest. These freeze great, reheat fine and have enough flavor to be good with just some fruit jam.
Whole Wheat Pizza Crust B Nice, nutty and chewy. Very satisfying.
Whole Wheat Italian Bread A - Good, dense and chewy bread. Tastes great with butter (what diet?), a little too dense for something like an olive oil dip, but good with soups.
Rosemary Roasted Root Veggies
Zucchini Fritters
Tomato Mushroom Cali Crust Pizza -Note: Always use FRESH cauliflower for this type dish.

Lemon Mushroom Orzo
Sesame Chicken Pasta Salad A++ Sweet and a bit heavy.
Biryani
Black Bean Tortilla Bake A+ Make sure to drain tomatoes very well, if you use flour tortillas, you risk it being soggy.
Four Cheese Manicotti A++++ So F-ing good (also, not that 'diet').

Pulled Pork
Chicken and Dumplings
Coconut and Curry Turkey Chili

Japanese Ginger Dressing (Needs tweaks)
Vegan Cashew Alfredo A+ (I love adding pesto to this)
Beet Sunflower Pesto
Green Goddess Dressing
Red Enchilada Sauce A+ Only enough sauce to do maybe a 9x9. Double to go 9x13. The extra sauce is good on rice left overs.
