I loved this! I followed the recipe. It probably chilled in the fridge for almost a full day before I tried any. Vey sweet and rich. I enjoyed it topped with whipped cream and a strawberry, with skim milk to drink. My husband wasn't too crazy about it - thought it was "too much" - but he doesn't particularly like Nutella or pie (he prefers cake & brownies). My 2 year old & 4 year old boys enjoyed it!

Pesto Squash

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2007

Is it OK to give something so simple 5 stars? I had a leftover zucchini and just wanted a new idea for seasoning it simply. I peeled and cut the zucchini into chunks, then put it in my steamer for about 10 minutes - still had some nice firmness. The pesto and fresh grated parmesan gave it a nice flavor. Will definitely be remembering this idea for the future. Thanks!

Cottage Cheese Roast

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2007

How the heck can this concoction be so darn good? My husband really liked this one. He was surprised at how much it resembled meatloaf - especially after I told him the ingredients. After reading reviews, I used 2 1/2 cups of cornflakes. I also cooked the roast for 65 minutes, then let it sit for 30 more minutes before serving. I don't think I'd change anything else, except perhaps I might chop up a little bit of veggies to go in it - like red pepper. Neither of us thought it was too salty. That onion soup flavor did stay with me throughout the evening, though. Oh, yeah, even my 2 year old liked this!

Allie's Mushroom Pizza

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

So yummy! I thought the sesame oil added great taste! I sauteed the spinach and mushrooms in olive oil with some garlic first, then put that on the crust. On top of the cheese I added a few extra chopped veggies from what I had fresh on hand. You can adjust and add whatever toppings you like.

Stuffed Green Peppers

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

Really good! I might try it with red peppers next time. I used the leftover filling (the original recipe must have used bigger green peppers than I could find) for burritos the next night.

Mom's Zucchini Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

Yum! I liked this a bit better than my husband, but he still enjoyed it and said he'd like to eat it again. I brushed the crust with dijon mustard. I also added some green and red pepper.

Alice Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

We loved this! We didn't use a full 16 ounces of the honey-mustard salad dressing - more just poured a bit over to taste. Another reviewer suggested adding sundried tomatoes - I might try that next time.

Creamy Pesto Shrimp

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

My 4 year old loved the noodles (although he wouldn't touch the shrimp). I used half & half instead of heavy cream. I also sauteed some garlic in the butter before adding the cream. I think I might have used a little extra pesto, also. Another reviewer mentioned adding sundried tomatoes - I might do that next time or just use sun-dried tomato pesto.

Connie's Zucchini 'Crab' Cakes

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

Another native from Maryland, I didn't really feel these tasted like genuine crab cakes, but I didn't expect them to. My husband described them as "vegetable crab cakes". I used 1/2 cup extra bread crumbs - might use a bit less next time as I thought they were just a little dry. I squeezed the liquid out of the zucchini like many others suggested. I liked dipping them in a lemon-herb tartar sauce. Next time I might try adding a little red pepper or carrot

Easy Vegetable Pot Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

Yum! I added an egg and a little cheddar cheese to the filling. Some things I might try in the future that other reviewers suggested - using a different cream soup, making a whole wheat crust, or using fresh steamed veggies.

Delicious Black Bean Burritos

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

These were quite good! I used 3 cloves of garlic. I think I also sauteed a bit longer than the recipe called for. I also added some chopped tomato and I might add a can of Rotel tomatoes with chilis next time.

1-2-3 Vegetable Chili

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

My husband and I enjoyed this quite well. Very filling. I added an extra tablespoon of chili powder. I chopped up the zucchini rather than just halved slices. I did add an extra can of beans - I asked for Kidney beans, but my husband brought home pinto. It still tasted fine. One thing that I did do, just out of curiousity - another reviewer mentioned adding a dash of cinnamon - that was the only thing about the taste that we didn't like, so we won't be doing that again. I added a bit of chopped jalapeno for extra kick. Really good with corn chips or tortilla chips.

Gourmet White Pizza

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

My husband and I really enoyed this! Next time I might try artichokes instead of chicken, like a previous reviewer mentioned. Also, while we love garlic, 3 tablespoons of fresh minced garlic was just a little much for us. We'll probably use a bit less next time. My mother-in-law will love it with all that garlic, though!
