Jagerschnitzel

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
Excellent - You do not need a full cup of bread crumbs. 1/2 cup would be sufficient. I recommend using 2 eggs. I used fresh mushrooms. 2 teaspoons of cornstarch made the thickness "just right".

Colleen's Slow Cooker Jambalaya

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
GREAT RECIPE! My only variation is that I used the Ro-Tel diced tomatoes (with green chilies). This added some spice so I eliminated the cayenne pepper. The spiciness was just right for us - it may still be a little too hot for some people.

Swordfish a la Siciliana

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
The problem with swordfish is that it often gets too dry. The problem was not solved adequately with this recipe. Otherwise, I really liked the flavors.

Spanish Moroccan Fish

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
An excellent recipe and I think I made it even better. I replaced the paprika with ground sumac. Sumac is a Moroccan spice and it really works for this recipe. I doubled everything except the amount of fish and it was the perfect amount for 9 adults. I also added capers and doubled up again on the olives. This has to be served with couscous. I enhanced the couscous a little by adding pine nuts. Great meal.

Shrimp Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009
Excellent basic recipe. The next time I think I will not use frozen oriental vegetables and make up my own mixture of bamboo shoots, water chestnut, bean sprout, etc.. Also, I will cut back on the corn starch. This recipe stiffened up a little more than I wanted it to.

Pork Chop and Feta Skillet

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009
The problem with pork chops in general is that they are often too dry. I like the flavoring of these pork chops and the feta cheese was great, but they were still dry. Sometimes I think the best way to cook pork chops is with Shake and Bake because that coating tends to seal in the moisture better than most other things I have tried.

Merwin's Shrimp Gumbo

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2009
This is incredible! I used andouille sausage because that seems right for a Cajon dish and it added a nice "kick". I cut the chicken into small pieces and left it in. I found that I could not brown the chicken with all the oil in the pan. Put just enough oil in the pan initially to brown the chicken, take the chicken out, add the rest of the oil and start working on the roux. Put the chicken back in latter.

Corned Beef Hash

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009
This is a great basic recipe. I have 2 suggestions. First, go to the deli and have them slice some corned beef for you that is at least 1/4 inch think. Second, cook it in as the largest skillet possible (so it is spread out more) and cook it beyond just absorbing the liquid or cooking the potatoes. You want beef and potatoes to been browned with a little "crunch". I added a little oil to the skillet at the end to help with the browning.

Fish in Foil

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2009
This really is a great recipe. I made some modifications however. I sauteed minced garlic in the olive oil, added some rice vinegar and black pepper and made a great mixture to bast onto the fish. Otherwise, I followed the recipe and I loved the result.

Easy Mushroom Rice

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2009
I followed the suggestions of others and modified this recipe. I used fresh mushrooms and an onion and minced garlic. I sauteed them in the butter then added them to the rice with some chicken broth (not beef). I also used creme of mushroom soup instead of french onion soup. It was fantastic. It may become my favorite rice dish.

Anaheim Fish Tacos

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009
In other reviews I have read comments about Anaheim peppers not being very hot. I find that they are not as hot as jalapeno but they are close. I elected not to add any more spice to the recipe and it came out "just right". It is juicy and you will want to spoon it up with a slotted spoon. Great flavor.

Totally Tangy Baked French Fries

Very good recipe. I recommend putting all the ingredients with the potatoes in a plastic bag and shaking to get the potatoes coated well.

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2009
An excellent recipe. I've cooked Mahi Mahi several different ways and this is my all time favorite. I followed someone's suggestion and served this on top of a bed of sauteed snap peas, green beans and mushrooms. The glaze enhanced the flavor of the veggies as well.

Cedar Plank-Grilled Salmon with Garlic, Lemon and Dill

Reviewed: May 27, 2009
This is incredibly good. The aroma from the cedar permeates the salmon and really enhances the flavor. This is absolutely my favorite way to cook salmon. However, I have to find a way to keep the cedar from catching on fire. I had soaked it for 6 hours and I had my gas grill as low as it would go and the wood still caught on fire after about 15 minutes. I'm going to experiment with raising the wood up higher in the grill next time.

Grilled Shrimp Scampi

Absolutely excellent. I served it on linguini with a sauce as described by reviewer Donna Jean. It was absolutely perfect. My favorite way to serve shrimp.

Chicken and Dumplings III

Reviewed: May 12, 2009
This is a good recipe - but nothing special. I elected to cook my biscuits separately in the oven. I used the layered style biscuits. I broke up the layers and spread them out on the plate and poured the sauce over them. If you take this approach you need to reduce the liquid in the sauce. I cut the water in half.

Corny Mexican Salad

Reviewed: May 6, 2009
A great recipe! I don't like avocado so I did not include any. That's just me. For everyone I say - make this recipe in advance and let it chill in the frig for several hours. This recipe tastes better when chilled.
