I had to make some changes because I didn't have lemongrass or chile peppers...added lemon zest and juice of a half of lemon, sprinkled with crushed red pepper and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. What an interesting soup! I also added a can of straw mushrooms and 1 thinly sliced carrot. Next time I am going to add coconut milk instead of sour cream to give it more of a thai taste. Adjust the amount of vinegar and heat to your liking. I will make this again!

Chutney Baked Brie

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

Unbelievably easy. I love curry but next time I will use a bit less. It was a bit overpowering. I will also crush the nuts.

Grilled Salmon with Citrus Salsa and Baby Greens

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009

This was amazing. Very fresh tasting. We used romaine lettuce and ate them as Salmon wraps. We were fighting over the last piece! Didn't have fennel so left it out. Next time I think I will add a bit more basil and a bit of cilantro too. We will be making this again soon!

Gourmet Mushroom Risotto

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009

This was my first time making risotto too. The only thing I did different was to add an extra clove of garlic and I used a lot more wine, decreasing the amt of chicken broth. I used dried reconstituted mixed gourmet mushrooms, which really gave it an amazing taste. Next time I might even try using the mushroom soaking liquid as part of the stock. Very yummy.

Easy German Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009

Second year in a row I have made this cake for our Octoberfest party. It is easy and amazing! Someone brought a bakery 4 layer German chocolate cake and mine was gone and everyone said this one was better. Just drop the cream cheese mixture right on the cake and don't bother spreading it around. It comes out perfect!

Easy Potato Sausage Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2009

I used Hot Links and fresh carrots and garlic. The Hot Links gave it some spicyness and a lot of flavor. I also added 1/2 cup of Parmesean cheese at the end. Omitted the green pepper cause I didn't have any. I love how the mashed potato flakes thicken the soup. Thanx.

Citrus-Basil Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2009

I loved this! I used lime juice and lime zest instead of lemon because I love limes! I also left the chopped basil in the dressing. I used this as a topping for a greek salad with feta cheese. This would go good on any type of salad. I am thinking about changing the basil to cilantro, adding cumin and using it for a mexican chopped salad. Thanks.

Lime-Curry Tofu Stir-fry

Reviewed: May 9, 2009

Unbelievably yummy! The only change I made was to sauteed minced green onions and chopped garlic with the ginger. I love the maple syrup/lime juice in this! Don't skimp on the basil at the end. This will be a staple in my house for tofu or chicken or anything!!!

Fire Roasted Tomato and Feta Pasta with Shrimp

Reviewed: May 5, 2009

YUMMY! I doubled the recipe and did as others suggested by adding the feta cheese to the sauce at the end to thicken it up. I also added chopped Kalamata olives to give it an extra mediterranean flair to it. Restaurant quality recipe.

Brazilian Black Bean Stew

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2009

REALLY disappointing! I was so excited about this recipe. Try Casablanca Chili on this site instead...SOOOO much better and tastier. This was very bland and needs a lot of help.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2009

I couldn't leave this recipe alone. I added 1 cup chopped pecans, a bag of butterscotch chips, decreased the brown sugar to 1/2 cup. Added 1 1/2 t. cinnamon, 3/4 t. baking soda, 1 1/2 t. vanilla and a smidgen of nutmeg. OMG!!! Baked them in a muffin tin, got 18 muffins out of it. Don't leave out all the banana's! Freeze old banana's when they get black in the peel and just keep adding to the freezer bag. Peel them first.

Zippy Shepherd's Pie

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2009

LOVE this! I used extra curry powder, 1/2 ground lamb, 1/2 ground beef and I use 1 1/2 cups water with a packet of beef gravy instead of the beef broth and cornstarch.

Pear and Blue Cheese Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

AmaZing salad and incredibly easy to make. I made the Microwave Spiced Pecans on this site, which were very easy to make and used canola oil since I didn't have the walnut oil. I served it for company and it was an immediate hit!

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2009

Not worth the time and effort. I tried it both ways, with and without cream in it. It is better without it. I thought the taste was somewhat bland. I ended up adding some balsamic vinegar and extra sugar to give it some taste. Topped it with fresh basil. It tastes more like tomato soup than roasted pepper soup.

Glazed Dijon Carrots

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

The mustard is the secret ingredient in this recipe. I used Hickory Farms Sweet and Hot mustard because it sounded like it would be good and it was GREAT! I am going to try Honey Dijon mustard the next time. Everyone loved these.

Cabbage and Smoked Sausage Pasta

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009

I didn't have smoked sausage so I added 1 package Hebrew National hot dogs, 1 chipotle sausage, and some leftover pork chops and a few slices of leftover lunchmeat. I added an onion and cut the oil and butter in half. I also added some creme fraiche when I eat it. Yummy.

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2009

I added buttermilk instead of water; 4 TBSP poppy seeds and 2 teas. almond extract. I made individual "bundt" muffins and topped them with 10X sugar mixed with almond and vanilla extract and milk. Very moist, dense and delicious!

Orzo with Parmesan and Basil

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2008

OMG! This couldn't be any easier and so versatile! I quadrupled the recipe for a party, added sauteed mushrooms with the cheese and basil. It tastes like a creamy risotto without the hastle. Next time I am going to add some sauteed or roasted garlic to it. Thanks for a great recipe.

Spicy Beef Curry Stew for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008

I added sweet potatoes, parsnips and carrots to it. I also added extra curry, a touch of ginger and garam marsala because I love the spices. I cooked it in a deep frypan on simmer. I also coated the meat in flour and it came out perfect and amazing.
