I have been going wild with recipes from this smittenkitchen.com. I made this dish twice in the past week:
http://smittenkitchen.com/2006/10/unflinchingly-good-things/

Hrrrmmp. Seems mfp has taken away the picture-posting ability. I wanted to link to the beautiful picture of acorn squash with chili-lime dressing. Doesn't work anymore.

Anyway, I add a lot more lime flavour to this one by grating the lime skin into the dressing.

I used to have a recipe for oven roasted Brussels Sprouts w/Balsamic Vinegar. Maybe a WW recipe? Does anyone have a similar recipe?

Here's a hearty recipe from Woman's Day Magazine Sept 2011 Issue. So far everyone that has made it, love it. Hope you feel the same.

QUICK SAUSAGE, WHITE BEAN AND SPINACH STEW
Active: 15 min/Total: 30 min/Serves 4

1 Tbsp olive oil
12 oz fully cooked Italian chicken sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick (can use turkey or regular Italian sausage but will need to adjust calories
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 32-oz container low-sodium chicken broth
4 oz ditalini pasta or other soup past (about 1 cup)
1 15.5-oz can cannellini or other white beans, rinsed
black pepper
1 10-oz bag spinach, thick stems removed
1 oz Parmesan, grated (about 1/4 cup)

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a plate.

2. Add the garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute (do not let it brown). Add the wine and simmer, scraping up any brown bits, for 1 minute.

3. Add the broth and pasta and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the pasta is just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

4. Add the beans, sausage and 1/4 tsp pepper and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add the spinach, stirring gently until it begins to wilt. Serve with the Parmesan.

One of my MFP buddies just sent me this link. I think it looks very good. He said that they used Turkey instead of beef--and put the chili over some of the "healthy" pasta

Cincinnati Chili

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/sandra-lee/cincinnati-chili-recipe/index.html

So, I have posted 2 recipes, Turkey Chili and Cincinnati Chili-- I really do eat other things
Have a great day!

That sounds yummy. Oven roasting makes vegetables sooo sweet! Just hand-rub with a smidgeon of olive oil before roasting, drizzle with balsamic vinegar at the end? Or were there more ingredients in your recipe?
