Very good starting place for a simple meal. I didn't have chile sauce, so I substituted salsa, but would like to try chile next time. Next time I will also cut the salt a little, add some beans to up the health factor, and probably increase the rice simply since I prefer a higher rice to meat ratio. We served it with salsa and sour cream and the kids ate it very well also.

Cookie in a Jar

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009

These cookies are pretty average. If you substitute vanilla for the water, I suggest not using more than 1 teaspoon vanilla. We taste tested these and I will keep looking for another cookie recipe to give for gifts.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Onions

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2009

I didn't have amaretto, but otherwise followed the recipe. They were slightly overdone, but the flavor is so good.

Autumn Apple Salad II

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009

Not quite a wow, but really great for something simple and healthy. Hardly any more work than slicing an apple and a nice addition when we eat a lot of them in the fall.

Tex-Mex Burger with Cajun Mayo

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2009

Very good flavor. Kids liked it (we left off the pepper jack for them). It was a little salty with Toni's. I would like to try a different Cajun seasoning next time.

Pretty Chicken Marinade

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009

Yum!!! The marinade makes a lot, I will definitely cut the quantities next time for marinating 4 chicken breasts.

Grilled Salmon I

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2009

We really liked it. I was afraid it would be too sweet, but flavor was nice. Only marinated 1/2 hour as recommended in other fish recipes. Two out of three kids wouldn't eat it. Just one of those nights?

Mexican Turkey Burgers with Pico de Gallo

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2009

Excellent pico, not a huge fan of cilantro, so I will probably use a little less next time. Burgers definitely good for turkey burgers. Only used pico de gallo for condiment and everyone thought they were very tasty.

Firecracker Grilled Alaska Salmon

Reviewed: May 29, 2009

Great flavors! We reduced the extra marinade to make a sauce, too. Very good.

Spinach and Orzo Salad

Reviewed: May 27, 2009

Yum! We don't like red onion, but otherwise followed the recipe. Very good mix of flavors. Pine nuts add a good bite, but I will probably try another nut or seed next time to save a little money. I also like a higher spinach:pasta ratio, so I will use half a box of the orzo instead.

Smothered Mexican Lasagna

Reviewed: May 11, 2009

The whole family loved it. I followed the original recipe and it was great. I will probably play with it next time, but I see that more as "what toppings do you like on your tacos?" My husband scrambled the leftovers with eggs and a little shredded cheese - tasted just like a great breakfast burrito.

Lemon Garlic Tilapia

Reviewed: May 11, 2009

I loved it - very simple flavor. Best for those who really like fish, as my husband said it was too fishy and needed more flavor. (The tilapia we used did seem to be a little stronger flavor than usual.)

Salmon with Lemon and Dill

Reviewed: May 11, 2009

I will probably make this again, but only when I'm really in the mood for dill as that flavor is definitely strong.

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets

Reviewed: May 11, 2009

I usually love balsamic vinegar, but the flavor just didn't fit salmon, in my opinion. My husband loved it- a 5 star for him a 3 star for me.

Sesame Tilapia

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2008

Very nice light flavor. We prefer broiled tilapia, so we were eating this about 45 minutes after I found the recipe. We had a lot of smoke from all the oil, of course. I might not add the extra marinade to cook next time. Definitely a top recipe for tilapia. Kids loved it, too.

Sesame Green Beans

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2008

Yum!! I think I ate half a plate of these beans. A good way to want to eat extra vegetables. The kids liked them, too.

Fabulous Wet Burritos

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008

Our whole family loves these burritos. I tried the recipe exactly as stated the first time. We decided to leave out the tomato soup the next time we made it and it's even better with just a good red enchilada sauce and less pure tomato flavor.

Funky Enchilada Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2008

This was okay, not great enough to make again. It needed more flavor - I definitely should have used more cumin (I ran out a little short of a tablespoon). I also didn't use pepperjack so it wouldn't be too spicy for the kids, maybe that would have added enough flavor.
