Sweet Pepper Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2008

It was good. I prefer to not roast the rice, as it tasted a little too oily for me like that.

It was a refreshing salad. I used frozen corn that was thawed first. It was ok like that but I prefer corn cooked. I am using this as an idea for roasted tomatoe and corn salad, which is also delicious. I roast the corn and cherry tomatoes with olive oil and dried basil in the oven at 400F for 9 minutes and then toss it with this recipe's vinaigrette.

Avocado and Tomato Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2008

I have made a salad for two by using 1 avocado and 1 big tomato chopped and served on hearts of romaine lettuce. I have added two caps(about two or three tablespoons) of Newman's own light balsamic vinaigrette. It was very tasty! The salad did not look brown and the avos stayed green while it was cooling in the fridge. I noticed with other recipes that the salad dressing can really make a difference on how your salads taste, and I have always had good results with Newman's own dressings.

No-Fuss Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2008

This recipe has been a life-saver, getting my toddler to eat more table food. He loved it and so did my husband. I have made this a couple of times already, with chicken breast with rib meat and boneless chicken breast. It comes out great every time. My husband liked the tenderness of the chicken. I like the sauce for the rice. I used McCormick Season All Salt, I had to use a little more of this the second time around, as it needed a bit more salt than the recipe called for.

Garden Pasta Salad

Reviewed: May 27, 2007

I took this to a barbeque and it was a hit, even with people that ordinarily do not like vegetables like celery. I added some pimentos from a jar as well and slices grape tomatoes in half. It looked great. I used Newman's Own Light italian dressing, about 3/4 of the bottle. I made it another time with normal zesty italian dressing from a different brand. It was too oily for me. The type of dressing is important.
