Made a wonderful Thai eggplant recipe. Seemed very gourmet but quite easy and very tasty!
My cooking tragedies
Using plain yogurt instead of sour cream in Beef Stroganoff, no amount of ketchup, or anything, for that matter, helped!

Tomato Zucchini Casserole
My family really loved this recipe! When preparing the recipe, I 1st sliced all the tomatoes & layed them out on several layers of paper towels on a cookie sheet to drain. Usually tomato recipes like this are runny but his tip from another reviewer really helped. Also, instead of adding salt & pepper to the cheese mixture I sprinked them lightly on each layer of vegetables as I went. I used fresh basil & oregano. When the casserole is finished cooking allow it to cool & set-up for about 10-15 min. We had this with grilled Italian sausage & a crusty loaf of bread!

Grilled Fish Tacos with Chipotle-Lime Dressing
We did use Haddock instead of Tilapia, worked out great! My only questions is in how long it is recommended to marinade fish. I only did so for 30min. & as it was the fish was cooked a bit by the acidity in the marinade. Wouldn't 6-8 hours cook it completely? Anyhow, we loved it & 30 min. worked just fine. Thanks for the recipe!

Hot Shredded Chicken Sandwiches
It is true, this is a bland food but that is exactly how these sandwiches taste. I was raised in Texas & haven't really understood my Ohio family's excitement over these sandwiches served at their local fair each year but all I can say is that maybe it has everything to do with regional taste, memories, & tradition. I guess that is why I was searching for the recipe!
