Baked Kale Chips

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2009
These have a light, crispy texture....but taste quite bitter (even with all the salt). I would say that these are only for people who really like the taste of kale.

Bean and Kale Ragu

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009
I made some changes: I used only one can of cannellini beans, which seemed like just the right amount. I also used one can of plain peeled tomatoes, and added some red pepper flakes, and I squeezed some fresh lemon juice onto everything just before eating, which was a nice touch. This is an easy recipe to make and quite tasty and healthy.

Creamy Pumpkin Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2009
I guess I'm not such a big fan of pumpkin soup, but as far as it goes, this one is pretty good. I used fresh pumpkin from the garden, and since I'm veg I used veggie broth and fried smoked tofu for the bacon. The sour cream really makes it good! I also added way more salt and some ground ginger.

Ricotta Stuffed Squash

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2009
We just harvested a few monster zucchini from our garden; this was the perfect way to use them up! I used half ricotta, half cottage cheese, and baked it for a little longer than called for. I also did not steam the zucchini, but rather sliced it in half lengthwise and put it in the microwave a few minutes to cook after scooping out. I used fresh herbs from the garden as well. I recommend draining the frozen spinach and the cheese as well before mixing together. Overall a great recipe for the summer garden!!!!

D's Famous Salsa

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2009
This is pretty tasty salsa....but if you prefer it at all chunky, I would recommend either not using the blender at all, or using fresh, chopped tomatoes. With the canned tomatoes and their liquid, then blended (just a little), it was too soupy. I drained it through a sieve (the runoff juice will make delicious bloody mary mix!), and then the consistency was just right. I also used one fresh chili pepper instead of the jarred kind, and added about a tsp of herb salt and a bit more onion, as I found it a bit bland. I think it will taste much better after chilling for a day or so.....

Italian-Style Swiss Chard

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2009
I would've given this five stars, but I believe it's written wrong. I am glad I read the reviews first, because 1 Tablespoon would be waaaaay too much salt!!! I used 1/2 tsp in the water and about the same, if not less on the finished product. It turned out great, yum! First time I cooked chard, and I'll definitely make it this way again.

Garlic Asparagus with Lime

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
This would be a 4.5 if possible; very good but not the absolute best. I agree with other reviewers: use more lime! I used half the juice of one lime and it was just right. I also used the white parts of one bunch of green onions instead of a shallot. If you sautee the asparagus for just five minutes, it comes out rather crisp, which I liked. If you like yours softer, cook it a bit longer.

Brown Rice, Broccoli, Cheese and Walnut Surprise

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2009
This recipe as I made it would be 4 stars, but since I changed SO much from the original, I'm giving it 3 stars. I steamed the broccoli and used regular brown rice, cooked in veggie broth. I sauteed the onions and garlic in canola oil and substituted pine nuts for walnuts. I used more cheddar and added Parmesan, and I mixed everything together in a large bowl, put in a small casserole dish, sprinkled more cheese on top, and baked it all. It turned out quite well with these changes.

Dilly Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2009
This recipe's a keeper! If you make it, please note that it only makes two servings, so if you're cooking for a family you'll need to at least double it! I used veggie broth instead of water, and doubled the amount and the soup was still thick. In fact, with the amount of water given you get more of a sauce! I also doubled the garlic and dill. Yum!

Baked Zucchini Chips

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2009
I've been making these for a long time now, based on a similar recipe my mom gave me. I add garlic powder and seasoned salt to the breadcrumb mix, and use a whole egg. I also slice the zucchini real thin (they come out crisper that way), and bake them at 270 C for 25 minutes, turn over and bake 5 more mins. They're really tasty dipped in ranch. Beware: they're pretty messy to make!

Tomato-Cream Sauce for Pasta

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009
I did not find this sauce to be anything special. I pureed it with a hand-held blender stick, and added more salt. It was okay but not great. Not sure if I'd make it again.

Garlic Bread Fantastique

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009
This garlic bread is really good, but I am not giving it five stars because it was waaaay too salty! I wish I'd read the reviews first, but as has been said: halve the salt, at least! Otherwise very tasty!

Ziti Chicken and Broccoli

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2009
I wish there was a 3.5 rating, that's what I would give this. It was pretty good, but I agree with the other reviews: not enough sauce! Or rather, use less pasta as it made a LOT. I think I'll use about 2/3 the pasta next time. I used more than double the Parmesan, extra cream and a chicken substitute and veggie broth as I'm vegetarian. I also took the suggestion to use a red onion as well. And not in the recipe but essential: dissolve the corn starch in a bit of cold water first!

Vegetable Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2009
This recipe's a keeper. I'm vegetarian so substituted smoked tofu for the ham, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. By the way, for those wondering just how much broccoli is in two cups: it's about one head. I would also recommend steaming the carrots until tender-crisp. Very tasty!

Carrot Soup 'a la Louise'

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2009
I would've rated this a 3, but my husband loved it, so I am giving it a 4. This soup is obviously supposed to be pureed, but I think the person submitting it forgot to put that in the recipe.....in the picture it is pureed, and I cannot imagine it otherwise. I also used veggie broth and real butter, which added a nice flavor. I added extra dill and a few drops of tobasco, but I still found it a bit boring and bland.

Beaker's Vegetable Barley Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009
This soup is okay, but nothing special or amazing. It's easy to make, and quite versatile. I followed the recipe exactly, except I only cooked it one hour instead of 90 minutes. It makes a LOT!!!!

Broccoli with Garlic Butter and Cashews

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009
This has a very unusual flavor, but it is quite good. My only problem was that the cashews were difficult to actually get onto the fork with the broccoli....they seemed to always separate and it was kind of a chore to physically eat this dish. Other than that : delicious!

Cauliflower with Dijon Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2009
I agree with others that mustard and cauliflower just do not go well together. Changes I made: steamed the cauliflower, tossed it w/the mustard mix and a little Parmesan, put it in a baking dish and topped with the Cheddar and some breadcrumbs, and broiled it in the oven for five minutes. All in all, even with the changes, it still wasn't good. Not terrible, but just not good. Definitely won't make again.

Roasted Garlic Potato Soup with Smoked Salmon

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009
Wow! This was absolutely divine! I am vegetarian, so I used veggie broth instead of chicken, and smoked tofu instead of salmon. In fact, I think it would be equally as delicious without the smoked tofu / salmon. The roasted garlic really gives this its special flavor. By the way, I had to roast the garlic more like 35 or 40 minutes rather than 25.

Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip II

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009
The changes I made: I used 1/8 c. sour cream and 1/8 c. mayo. I used 1/2 c. Parmesan rather than Parmesan and Romano. I also used a hand blender to thoroughly chop the spinach, and I mixed the mozarella in with the other cheeses as well as putting a little on top. It came out absolutely delicious! I served it with toasted pita bread which worked well.
