Grilled Halibut with Cilantro Garlic Butter

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009

Yum! Seared tuna very rare, broiled some red pepper and fresh avocado slices covered everything with the sauce. I did add a little extra garlic because I LOVE it!

Delish! My husband thought it was a little too sweet but I loved it. The sweet cuts the bitter of the sprout. I did saute fresh sprouts instead of frozen and subbed peacans because I don't like walnuts. Will definitely make again.

Broiled Halibut with Goat Cheese Crust

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

YUM! I doubled the recipe and used wahoo steaks that my husband caught. The only change I made was to use heavy cream instead of milk in the sauce. I had a little left over that would have gone bad otherwise. The sauce goes very well with broccoli!

Avocado and Cilantro Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2008

Avocado soup is one of my favorite summer time treats but this recipe did not impress me. I found it rather bland. I think its a good starter recipe to build from. To make it how I like I doubled the cilantro and added it to straight to the soup and blended, once it sits for a while it adds a nice spring time flavor. I also added about a 1/4 cup heavy cream, garlic salt instead of regular and about 2 TBS lemon juice. Making these additions saved the soup. I will use this as my base recipe and keep playing around with it. Next time I may try adding some cucumbers.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2008

YUM! Followed recipe but didn't have any mushrooms. Can't wait to try again with shrooms. I guess if I have to nitpick, I waited for the sauce to thicken up a bit more than it did, but hey, cream is cream, you can't really go wrong. Excellent recipe.

Easy Cranberry Granola

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2008

I love this granola. I didn't have wheat germ so I ground up some flax seed in my coffee grinder, great replacement and very good for you too. I also cooked it in a 9x13 baking dish with higher sides so it was easier to stir with less chance of spilling. I do think this added some cook time because it wasn't all in a thin layer, but all in all I think I added about 15 extra minutes. A definate staple recipe in my house.

Aggression ( Oatmeal ) Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2008

Great recipe. My kids loved helping and eating! I did find it was best to let the cookies cool for a minute on the cookie sheet before moving them to a cooling rack. If moved to soon they had a tendency to fall apart. We will definitely be making these again.

Carrot Cake I

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

This was fabulous. I left out the raisins because I'm just not a fan. I also skipped the glaze and went for readymade buttercream frosting. Yum

Incredibly Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2008

Followed recipe exactly. It was pretty good. Could benefit from some more seasonings. I may add chopped onion and garlic next time. I liked the cheesiness.

Rachel's Turkey Loaf

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2007

My husband and I found this a bit mushy. Maybe because of the bread crumbs when we are used to broken up pieces bread. Overall, easy to make and pretty good flavor. Liked the BBQ sauce.

Fried Cabbage II

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2007

excellent! I did add extra bacon and probably 3 pinches sugar. I decided it needed a bit more sweetness about half way through cooking. Very yummy.

Blackberry and Blueberry Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2007

This was fabulous. I didn't have enough blackberries so I added some raspberries. I did use frozen berries so I took the advice of previous reviewers and added corn starch. I added 2Tbs but next time I will add a third. Very very good!

Luscious Chicken Pot Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2007

very good! I boiled potatoes and carrots, used frozen peas and corn, chopped onion and celery. I only had 1 can of cr. of chicken soup so I subbed in cr. of mushroom. This was pretty good. Next time I think I'll try potato like some of the other reviewers. I also added some dried herbs and garlic salt. Could have added more salt. I was afraid on my first attempt to add too much. I used 1 ready made pie crust and topped it with a pastry sheet. Perfect! I did have to extend the cooking time to about an hour. I will definitely make this one again.
