Tammy Kelly: Healthy at-home Valentine's Day meals (and desserts) for two Comment By Tammy Kelly The Kinston Free Press MailTribune.com By Tammy Kelly The Kinston Free Press Posted Feb. 11, 2015 @ 1:58 pm By Tammy Kelly The Kinston Free Press Posted Feb. 11, 2015 @ 1:58 pm » Social News Valentine’s Day would not be the same without enjoying a delicious meal with your special sweetheart. If you prefer annual sweethearts day at home, here are some great recipes tailored especially for two. These recipes will also keep your on track with your heart-healthy eating plan. “Unfried” Fried Ice Cream Ingredients: 2 large scoops of your favorite ice cream 1 cup corn flakes 2 tablespoons powdered sugar ¼ teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons honey Optional: warm chocolate sauce For the prettiest presentation, scoop your ice cream into a nice ball, place on a pan and return to the freezer. In a food processor, combine the corn flakes, powdered sugar and cinnamon and pulse for 10-15 seconds. Pour the mixture out into a shallow bowl. Drizzle the honey on top, then use your fingers to incorporate the honey into the flakes evenly. It’s sticky, but worth it. Take your ice cream balls out of the freezer, then roll them quickly in the crumbs. Serve drizzled with warm chocolate sauce and topped with a cherry. Serves 2. Chocolate Soup for Two Soup ingredients: 1 cup of skim milk 1 cup of fat free half and half 1/3 cup fat free sweetened condensed milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips or 6 oz. chocolate bar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons cold water Topping ingredients: 2 ounces low-fat cream cheese 2 heaping tablespoon marshmallow crème Shaved chocolate or cherries for garnish In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together the skim milk, half and half, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture almost to a boil. Put the pan on low heat, add the chocolate, and whisk until the chocolate starts to melt. Combine the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Add the slurry a little at a time, whisking constantly, until the soup is thick and smooth. You will know it is ready when the bubbles are gone and the chocolate has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully pour into two bowls and garnish. Topping: Microwave the cream cheese at 10 second intervals or until it can be stirred smooth. Add marshmallow crème to the cream cheese and mix well. Dollop on top of soup, or transfer mixture to pastry bag and pipe design. Serves 2. Salmon Pasta with Spicy Tomato Sauce Ingredients: 8 ounces angel hair pasta 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 cup red onion, finely diced 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 salmon fillet (8 ounces) 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed 1 pound roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped 1/4 cup dry white wine Salt and pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Cook pasta in boiling water according to the package directions. Drain, reserving pasta water. Toss pasta with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Keep it warm. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions. Cook and stir until softened. Add red pepper flakes, oregano, and salmon. Break up the salmon with a spatula as it cooks. Stir in dill, chopped tomatoes, and wine; bring to a boil. Turn heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add some reserved pasta water if the sauce gets dry. Mound the pasta on plates. Make a well in the center of each mound and ladle in the tomato-salmon sauce. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve warm. Sorry lovebirds, this one does serve 4. If you want to pare this recipe down even more, serve over zucchini “noodles” or spaghetti squash. Yummy Grilled Fish Tacos Ingredients: 1 mango, peeled, pitted and cubed 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed 1/2 red onion, finely chopped Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for garnish Chopped fresh cilantro Salt and black pepper Canola oil 2 large Mahi Mahi fillets 1 Tbsp. Blackening spice 8 corn tortillas 2 cups finely shredded cabbage Mix the mango, avocado, onion, and the juice of 1 lime in a bowl. Season with cilantro, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan until hot. Drizzle a light coating of oil over the fish and rub on the blackening spice. Cook the fish, undisturbed, for 4 minutes. Carefully flip with a spatula and cook for another 4 minutes. Remove. Warm the tortillas on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave for 1 minute until warm and pliable. Break the fish into chunks and divide among the warm tortillas. Top with the cabbage and the mango salsa. Serve with the lime wedges. Tammy Kelly writes about food for the Kinston Free Press in North Carolina. You can reach Tammy at [email protected].
