This one really doesn't need another positive review! It's the best lasagna recipe! Husband took one bite and said "just like grandma's"! It's not anymore time consuming to put together. Made the meat sauce mixture and while it simmers, preceed with cook noodles, mix ricotta cheese mixture and shredded cheeses. Once all those are done, the assembly begi (the sauce probably simmered for 30~45mins at most). Followed the recipe otherwise as written (which is rare for me). It is slightly on the salty side, I would omit the salt all together next time.

Spanish Rice Bake

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2011

Good and easy. Made with brown rice (additional time and liquid). Would make it again but will top with less cheese in the end.

Shepherd's Pie VI

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2010

Good but could use more seasoning. Made as written but I did add small amount of frozen corn and pea for color. Mush carrots took a while. Next time I would just thinly slice the carrots. The carrot added a good flavor and its a must! Will make it again :)

Chicken with Red Grapes And Mushrooms

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009

First time cooking with grapes! I used half-&-half instead of heavy cream. I added oregano, basil and a dash of curry powder! I don't think the grapes added much flavor but this recipe was interesting to make!

Denise's Peanut Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2008

This is a good recipe and I think the peanut flavor is just right - not over dominating the dish. Perfect with cilantro. I took the advice and added 1/2 cup peanut butter, cut down peanut to 1/2 cup. I combined the ingredients for the sauce and let it simmer in a sauce pan on low. Meanwhile, prepared (cut up) and cooked the chicken and vegetables, then added the sauce. The vegetalbes are not over cooked this way.

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2008

Good and comfortable! I used a 2+lb of chunk roast instead of sirloin. Placed onion and beef slices in the slow cooker. In a measuring cup, mixed the beef broth (1/4cup), 2tsp of arrowroot 1 can diced tomatoes (instead of stewed), 2 tbsp each of soy sauce and worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, black pepper, steak seasoning and orange zest. Poured this mixture in the slow cooker and cooked on low for ~8hrs. Stirred in the pepper slices 45min b/f serving. The peppers were perfect.

Chicken Piccata II

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2008

Simple and good. The chicken pieces were breaded the night before cooking. Doubled the lemon juice. After work, I just placed the chicken pieces on a baking sheet and sprayed lightly with oil. Broiled in the oven for ~5min/side. While made the sauce. Doubled the sauce, added lemon zest and starch. When the sauce began to boil, added the chicken to coat.

Very good! The celery seed added just the right flavor. I doubled the sauce, much was way too much. Next time, I'll make ~1.5x of souce instead of 2x.
