Creamy Cheesy Grits

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009
I make these fairly often. They are very tasty. You can play with the liquids. For example, if you want it more creamy, more milk and less broth.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew I

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009
This is exactly what i had in mind when I thought of making stew yesterday. I'm not a big beef eater, so I'd never made beef stew before, but for whatever reason, I was craving it. I followed recipe exactly, and because it was not going to be thick enough, I added about 2 teaspoons of corn meal the last few minutes. After that, it thickend up right away. Delicious!

Cream of Pumpkin Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
This is an excellent soup. I love the croutons; they add so much! I've made this a number of times, and the only thing I change is the type(s) of pumpkin I use. I usually steam my own, either baking pumpkins or kabocha. Also, depending upon how much I want to health it up, I change the cream to half&half or milk, or a combination of the two.

Cilantro-Lime Dressing

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009
This was the best dressing I have ever had. That's the honest truth. I reduced the amount of honey to less than 2 tablespoons because I felt the amount listed was way too much, and I also redused the amount of olive oil, but other than that, I followed the recipe as listed. It makes the plainest salad interesting. I used the leftover dressing for some leftover spinach (that's it!), and yum, it was SO good.

Sour Cream Chicken and Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009
Delicious! I used leftover chicken, fat-free sour cream, and also included half a red bell pepper, but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. There was definitely too much sour cream, and the next time I make this (which I will!) I will probably reduce the amount of sour cream by half, at least on top, not necessarily in the potato mixture.

Broccoli Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2009
Although I loved this dish, I feel that I cannot give it five stars due to all the changes I made. Using what I had on hand, I made 1 cup of rice (not instant). Then I quickly sauteed some fresh broccoli, half an onion, and a stalk of celery in olive oil in a skillet. I stirred the veggies, rice, 1 can of broccoli & cheese soup, some grated cheddar cheese, and 1 can of milk together in an 8x8 casserole dish. I baked it as per the directions. It is really good, but since I just used the recipe and directions as a basis for making the dish, I am only giving it 4 stars.

Chicken Tortilla Soup II

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009
This is a really good recipe, but I felt that it would have been a bit plain as is. I reduced the amount of oil to about 2-3 T. I added a bit of cayenne pepper for kick. (I didn't add enough, though.) Then I added about half a can of black beans and about a cup of grilled corn kernels. I topped it all of with strips of fried corn tortilla. Had I been a teensy less concerned for fat content, I would have also topped it with a bit of cheese and maybe a dab of sour cream.

Skillet Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onion

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009
This was good. Instead of the water and buillons, I used chicken broth. If I make this again, I will use more than 3/4 cup. I decided to skip the salt, as I thought the parmesan would be plenty enough taste. I was right. No salt necessary. I think it could use a bit more taste, though, in the form of herbs and/or spices.

Baked Kale Chips

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
These are so good. I am slightly ashamed to say that I nibbled on them while reading and managed to somehow eat the entire batch. *blush* It was like eating potato chips, but with much less guilt.

Blackened Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009
This was really good. The blend and amount of spices work really well. After reading other reviews, I left it in the oven for longer than 5 minutes -- somewhere between 10 and 15. The chicken was still moist.

Baked Cheddar Bacon Spread

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009
This is fabulous, but if anyone has any suggestions on how to keep the rich taste yet cut down on fat/calories, any input would be appreciated.

Apple Pumpkin Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009
I just made these. I decreased the amount of sugar by 1/2 cup, but they are still a bit too sweet. Despite that sweetness, though, they taste fantastic. They are nice and moist. The next time I make them, I will probably cut the sugar by at least half, and maybe add white chocolate chips or chunks.

Barley Bake

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2008
The amount of broth needs to be reduced quite a bit. It finished cooking (meaning everything reached the appropriate texture) after an hour 15 minutes, but it was quite soupy at that point and had to continue cooking for over half an hour more. Less broth would rememdy that. I don't know if it would make a difference in the cooking time/amount of broth, but I omitted the (optional) mushrooms.

Zulandt's Lentil Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2008
I have made this a number of times now. It is, an many ways, a comfort food. Depending upon how healthy I want it to be, I adjust the amount of cheese and/or sometimes omit the breadcrumbs. Also, I play with the amount of spices and sometimes substitute other spices, such as basil instead of oregano, or I add a bit of curry powder to it. Yum! Also, I always use chicken stock rather than water and then omit the buillions, because I feel that it is easier to watch the amount of sodium that way.

Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Orzo

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2008
I've made this for a couple of potluck picnics, and it was a hit both times. The second time, I addes diced black olives, which was an even bigger hit.

Chocolate Velvet Ice Cream

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2008
This is my go-to recipe for chocolate ice cream. It's delicious, and depending on what dairy product I have on hand, I easily substitute half&half, or part milk/part cream, etc., and it turns out great every time.

Spinach Chick Pea Curry

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2008
The spiciness of this recipe is perfect, and the corn, which I'd been skeptical about, was a nice addition. I took the suggestion of an earlier review and baked my tofu first. And here's the bit I'm almost ashamed to admit: I thought I had chickpeas, and I didn't bother checking before starting to make the curry. I was wrong, though, and tried to think of what to use in its place. I had two hotdogs in the fridge that I needed to use, so I chopped those up and used them instead. And guess what? It was delicious. :)

Peanut Butter Bars I

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2008
It never set. Unlike the photo, I could not cut the bars, because it was a gooey mess. I don't think I did anything wrong. If I'd try making these again (which I doubt), I'd reduce the amount of peanut butter.

Spicy Rapid Roast Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008
The chicken turned out nice and tasty, but I had to roast it for an additional 15-20 minutes. The texture is perfect; it is moist and tender. Yum.

Cilantro-Lime Rice

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2008
Not bad, but a little bland. I made it in my rice cooker. If I made this again, I would definitely use more cilantro and more lime.
