Broccoli and Sausage Cavatelli

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009

I followed some advice from others and added chopped onions to the sausage while it cooks. I also substituted bowtie pasta for cavatelli because its what I had on hand. This was really good pasta! A great dish for potlucks!

Basic Baked Spaghetti

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009

This was a good casserole. Very easy and tasty. I did as others suggested and used some additional Italian sausage, onion, and garlic cloves which really helped the taste. I could not believe how much this made. I think one could easily feed 8 people with this recipe. It's a great potluck dish!

Amatriciana

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009

This is the best simple pasta dish I have gotten from allrecipes. I made no changes to the recipe other than a little more garlic. It was so good with a broccoli salad.

Tortilla Soup I

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009

This was really good. I followed the instructions nearly exactly. I fried the corn tortillas to make them crispy and topped the soup with cheese. I think it'd be good with cannelloni beans so I might try that next time.

Angel's Pasta

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009

Not bad, not great as it is. I think it needs extra flavor-- Next time I will add a lot more garlic as suggested by others. I added mushrooms to the mix and some chopped onion as well.

Marrakesh Vegetable Curry

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

This was really good stuff...maybe the best Moroccan curry I've had yet. I took other people's advice and nearly doubled most of the spices, except the cayenne, and added a teaspoon of coriander. Served it with couscous.

Curry Pumpkin Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009

This was good, but better with coconut milk as a substitute for the half and half cream, and thai curry paste as a substitute for the curry powder. I used a little more sugar. Next time I will add onions processed in a good processor as suggested by others.

Spinach Tomato Tortellini

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

Not a great recipe as it is. I'd add much more garlic and maybe some white wine and mushrooms.

Amazing Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2009

This sauce was really good with added garlic and some mushrooms. The only problem I had with it was that the sundried tomatoes were a little tough. I might soak them in hot water first next time. Very tasty.

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2009

These were delicious and did not fall apart for me. I followed the directions almost entirely but replaced the bread crumbs with quick oats and a few crackers and added about 50% more than it calls for. I topped them with cilantro, avocado, some mayo, and cheese. So yummy.

Date and Nut Bread

Reviewed: May 29, 2009

I do not have a bread machine but it still turned out perfectly. It's a very moist, tasty bread. All it requires to omit the machine is putting the dry ingredients together, including the dates (I used dried and pitted rather than fresh), and then adding the water/oil/honey/yeast mixture (after the yeast has been activated) to it. I kneaded it for about 10 minutes and then let it rise twice for about an hour each time in our microwave with a cup of boiling water beside it to help it rise. Baked it at 350 for ~35 minutes or so. Great bread! I'll make another batch soon!

Spicy Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2009

This was something else! I made it with Sweet Corn Bread (a recipe found here on allrecipes). Great reviews from the family. Serve with cheddar cheese on top or sour cream.

Seminary Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2009

These were really good and moist. I used a little less banana and sugar because I didn't have enough and they still turned out plenty sweet.

Thai Cucumber Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2009

This is the kind of salad that makes you want to suck the cucumbers to experience all of the taste. It is so good. I did lessen the amount of jalapeños a great deal--I used only half of one and it was plenty hot. Don't skimp on the cilantro. So good.

Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken)

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2009

So good. I marinated the chicken first in some of the yogurt and spices for an hour, but otherwise followed the recipe nearly exactly. I found this recipe a bit too spicy and I even halved the cayenne pepper so I'd say add it gradually and taste with a big mouthful.

Six Week Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2009

The best. So moist and perfectly sweetened. I substituted most of the white sugar with Turbinado (raw) sugar and yogurt for the buttermilk. I also added all of the bran cereal to the water rather than doing what the recipe says.
