Turkey Pot Pie with Brown Rice Crust. TURKEY POT PIE WITH BROWN RICE CRUST

Readers Test, Taste and Tell: Jaime Garcia."I love chicken and turkey pot pies and think I’ve found my favorite recipe! It was so easy and it was also the first time I’ve had turnip – also a new favorite. Tip: After browning the 1-inch cubed turkey, I cut them into bite-size pieces before returning them to the pan. "

- Jaime Garcia, San Jose, California

Readers Test, Taste and Tell: Lisette Anders."How exciting to eat a clean pot pie with a light crust that doesn’t make you feel weighed down after you enjoy it. Substitutions: We didn’t use a turnip because we can be picky eaters and we tried whole-wheat flour instead of spelt."

- Lisette Anders, Aurora, Colorado



Apple Grilled Cheese with Grainy Mustard APPLE GRILLED CHEESE
WITH GRAINY MUSTARD


Readers Test, Taste and Tell: Theresa Winterhalter."Sandwiches, yum. Grilled cheese sandwiches, yum times two! I served it with the Minestrone Soup with Quinoa and the combination was perfect. I would also try it with other fruits such as pears. Tip: I chose a heartier grain spelt bread, but for kids I would try a spelt bread that is more similar to white bread. And I used a mandolin to slice the apple very thin. Overall, this recipe was too easy!"

- Theresa Winterhalter, McDonough, Georgia



Almond Mike Rice Pudding with Dried Apricots ALMOND MILK RICE PUDDING
WITH DRIED APRICOTS


Readers Test, Taste and Tell: Tina Straseske."Two words: yum yum! My family loved it. The portion size was just right for me, but my husband and son kept wanting more and more! It’s a very satisfying, cozy dessert, which is especially good when there’s a little chill in the air. I tried it with a touch of nutmeg on top."

- Tina Straseske, Round Rock, Texas
