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.

Poppy Seed Bundt Cake III

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.

Black Thai Pork

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008

Very easy and very good. I added some extra water to the sauce because it was so thick...otherwise didn't change a thing. My hubby loved it!

Shrimp Versailles

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

Very good. Next time I might use dry sherry instead of white wine to give it more taste. Added minced garlic, it's a must and used Panko bread crumbs.

Flounder Mediterranean

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

I loved this! I used feta and parmesean cheese at the end. I only had regular black olives and it worked out well. Next time I will pan fry the fish and then seve with the sauce. When I baked the fish, it was very watery.

Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Marsala Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2008

VERY easy and good. I used fat free half and half...my sauce curdled immediately and I had to use a bit of cornstarch and water to thicken. Use dry marsala and mushrooms...any kind. I used a can of straw mushrooms I had. I will double the sauce next time. I could just eat the sauce poured over jasmine rice and be happy!

Apricot Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2008

The family LOVED this and it couldn't have been any easier! I used cornstarch in a little bit of water to thicken the sauce and I added 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon dried thyme. A definite keeper!

Marinated Mushrooms II

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2008

I used button and crimini mushrooms. I cut the big ones into 4 pieces for easier eating. The only thing extra I added was cut up marinated red peppers for color and taste. Excellent!

Rosemary-Scented Pork Loin Stuffed With Roasted Garlic, Dried Apricots and Cranberries and Port Wine Pan Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2008

This turned out gorgeous and delicious! I went to 4 different stores looking for apple jelly and ended up using grape jelly instead since I thought it would go well with the port...and I was right! I didn't get any drippings either, just some burnt stuff. I did cook it on a rack. Next time I will spray the bottom of my pan with PAM and add some liquid to the bottom of the pan. It went perfect with the Syrah tasting we did that night!

Easy Pineapple Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2008

This couldn't be any easier! The only changes I made was to decrease the sugar to 1 1/2 cups and added about 1/2 cup chopped walnuts to the batter. No one was excited when I said I was going to make a pineapple cake but when they tasted it, it got rave reviews and everyone had seconds. I love that there is no fat in the mix, now I have to find a fat free frosting!

Banana Crunch Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2008

I added 3 large very ripe banana's and used brown sugar in the recipe instead of white sugar and a 1/2 cup of butter instead of shortening. I also added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter and added 1/4 of melted butter to the topping to make it hold better. This was FABULOUS! Thanks for a keeper.

Really good and fresh tasting. I added a bit more tomato sauce but other than that it is perfect! This will be a staple in our house. Thanx

The nutmeg was a must! Went very well with the Jaagerschneitzel and red cabbage recipes on this site.

Gluten-free Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2007

These couldn't be any easier! I would have added a bit of rice flour for my celiac disease friend to make the dough easier to work with, but they came out great.
