Mushroom Onion Matzo Kugel

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
I made this recipe into a pilaf instead of a kugel. I sauteed the onions and mushrooms and some garlic on the stove top, add the softened matzo farfel, added about 1/4 cup of water with chicken soup seasoning, salt and pepper, once the pilaf cooked a bit I added freshly chopped basil and parsley and one beaten egg to the mixture to make some pieces stick together but not to make the whole mixture too dense like a baked kugel. It was really good!

Oma's Cottage Cheesecake

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
I used just the filling to make cheese muffins for passover! I substituted 3 tbsp. of matzo meal for the flour and added 1 tsp. baking powder to the mixture. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the mixture and sprinkled the top with cinnamon and sugar. It was delicious - and healthy too!

Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
I wrapped the sweet potatoes in foil and baked them for about 1 hour to keep them from absorbing too much water and to enhance their flavor. Once cooled, I just squeezed out the flesh - no peeling necessary. I used brown sugar instead of white sugar. I totally left out the butter and milk- it did not need it, and boy did that save a lot of fat and calories! next time I will probably leave out the eggs as I thought they would hold the sweet potatoes more firmly together - but it did not make a difference - the texture was mushy so the eggs didn't add much. I added about 1/2 tsp. cinnamon to the sweet potato mixture. This got rave reviews from all of my guests! I will make it again.

Sweet Potato Oranges

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
This recipe had such a beautiful presentation!!! It really wasn't that hard or time consuming to prepare! I read all the reviews before hand and took the following suggestions - I cut the oranges in half and used a grapefruit knife to cut out the orange, making sure to keep the peel in-tack. I wrapped the sweet potatoes in foil and baked them for about 1 hour to keep them from absorbing too much water and to enhance their flavor. Once cooled, I just squeezed out the flesh - no peeling necessary. I reduced the sugar to 1/2 a cup and used brown sugar instead of white sugar. I totally left out the butter - it did not need it, and boy did that save a lot of fat and calories! next time I will probably leave out the eggs as I thought they would hold the sweet potatoes more firmly together - but it did not make a difference - the texture was mushy so the eggs didn't add much. I added about 1/2 tsp. cinnamon to the sweet potato mixture. As for the topping i wanted to make the topping as stated but I did not have whole pecans I made it with chopped nuts instead next time I will make it with the whole pecans. I used cut pieces of tin foil and wrapped it around the oranges as they baked so that the orange peel won't burn. If I don't use the eggs next time - i will just skip this step and not even bake the orange cups - as the filling was delicious before baked, and no eggs will lead me not to have to do this step. This got rave reviews from all of my guests! I will make it again.

Black Bean Soft Tacos

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
Delicious! I made this in a wrap and also in a hard taco shell with some shredded lettuce! I also made this and placed it into a wrap shell (placed a wrap on a scrunched up piece of aluminum foil sprayed with PAM and lay a wrap on it and baked it for 10 minutes - it crisped up and took the shape of a bowl) - Really good!

Matzo Balls

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
I changed this recipe a bit - My family likes small light and fluffy matzo balls. I quadrupled the recipe. I used selter instead of water - as the carbonated water helps to fluff up the matzo balls. I used only a tsp. of olive oil instead of the margarine and added some salt, pepper and garlic powder to the mixture. I refrigerated the mixture for about 1/2 hour and rolled them into small balls with wet hands to help keep their shape. I let them boil in slated water with the pot cover on for about 25 minutes - no peaking - or the matzo balls will flip and fall to the bottom of the pot. I did not cook the matzo balls in the chicken soup - as I did not want the soup to become murky from the matzo balls as they cooked. I also froze them in a single layer on cookie sheet and then placed them in a zip lock bag - this way I can take out as many matzo balls as I wanted and they wouldn't be stuck together.

Cinnamon-Raisin Granola

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
This is delicious!!! I quadrupled the recipe so there would be a lot to eat with milk or sprinkled on top of yogurt and parfaits. I have made this recipe with the ingredients - as stated. I placed the sauce ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwaved it until all the ingredients combined smoothly. I poured it on top of the granola and baked it at a lower temperature than stated - at 300 so that the granola wouldn't burn. UPDATE - i made this for PASSOVER - but substituted matzo farfel for the oats. It is delicious and so addictive!

Baked Salmon II

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2009
Very good!I used only 2 tbsp. olive oil and used freshly squeezed lime juice instead of the lemon juice. I also thinly sliced some limes and placed them on the salmon. The salmon was very moist and did not dry out.

Pan-Fried Asparagus

Rocky Road Drops

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
This was delicious!!!! but... I made some changes. I doubled the chocolate chips and left out the butterscotch chips. I left out the peanuts and used 1 cup raisins and 1 cup dried cranberries. I have made this with thin pretzel sticks instead of chow mien noodles. (For passover - I made this with matzo farfelle). I made two logs and once they set (30 minutes in the freezer) I cut them into biscotti-like slices. Amazing!!!! My family loves to eat these straight from the freezer!

Marshmallow Truffles

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
I made these with putting 2 marshmallows on a candy stick, twirling it in melted chocolate and sprinkling rainbow sprinkles all over it. (I didn't dip the marshmallows into the sprinkles - as the chocolate would drip off and make chunks of chocolate and sprinkle. I stuck the sticks into an upside down cutlery holder so that one side wouldn't get flattened. It was a big hit!!!! UPDATE: Made it into "S'mores Pops" on a stick - I crumbled graham crackers on top of it instead of the nuts!

Chocolate Dessert Cups

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
I made these, but did not have enough custard cups to drape on - so I brushed the chocolate inside paper muffin cups sprayed with PAM. I froze then for 15 minutes. Unfortunately the paper and chocolate did not peel off well and the chocolate kept on chipping. The final product was filled with "Polly Welby's Excellent Chocolate Mousse" from this site.

Herbed Chicken in Pastry

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2009
This was delicious!I used filo dough - as it is much less fattening than puff pastry dough, but still gives the same crusty look. I used 2 sheets of filo for each chicken cutlet to make individual packets. (I sprayed PAM in between the sheets.) I coated the chicken with Ken's lite honey-mustard salad dressing which gave excellent flavor to the chicken. I brushed the top with an egg wash and sprinkled it with sesame seeds - I baked it for about 30 minutes - It was sooo good!

Spicy Honey Mustard Sausage Wraps

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2009
I made a bunch of changes to the recipe - But it was fabulous! I only had filo dough - so i used 5 sheets of that (I sprayed PAM in between the sheets.) I used turkey deli and honey-mustard salad dressing to coat it. I placed the deli in the middle of the filo dough and folded the sides in. I brushed the top with an egg wash and sprinkled it with sesame seeds - I baked it for about 25 minutes - It was sooo good!

Fruit 'n' Honey Granola

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2009
Very good granola. I quadrupled the recipe but only made 2 1/2x the syrup (oil and honey). I combined all the dry ingredients (except for the dry fruit and placed it in the oven for about 20 minutes to toast them up. I combined the oil and honey in a saucepan with the cinnamon and a pinch of salt and brought it to a boil. This thinned out the honey and made it easier to pour over all the dry ingredients. I added the dried fruit 1/2 way thru the baking so they would not burn. I needed to bake the granola for much much longer than suggested. But it was very good.
