In Mexico this is actually called "Pastel Azteca" intead of lasagna. I usually use crumbled tortilla chips instead of whole corn tortillas. I also use two types of cheese together: mozzarella and an orange cheese such as cheddar or mimolette, putting a layer of sour cream sprinkled with paprika and chili powders just under the cheese before baking. As a side dish I make a mexican style rice: chopped onions, red & green peppers sautéed together, add rice, then a broth to cover the rice, add red or pinto beans and some corn, and allow to simmer till the rice is tender. Great together.

Italian Summer Squash Polenta Bake

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2008

Delicious... And you could turn it into a south of the border version.. Use cheddar instead of parmesan, salsa or taco sauce instead of spaghetti sauce, and add some mexican spices to the chicken! I'm going to try it this way today!

Ths is a "first cousin" to the classic Tabouleh... Excellent. I added some chopped walnuts and a little lemon juice. Great side dish for moorish style chicken kebabs!

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2008

I'm going to make this for a beach outing tomorrow!!! I have some ripe avocados from the tree in my garden that I will dice in a bowl and mix with some lemon juice, paprika, a dash of chili powder and cumin (to give guacamole flavour)and then place on the salad! Should top it off nicely.

Pumpkin Cheesecake in a Gingersnap Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2007

Excellent recipe... It can be turned into a "diabetic friendly" recipe also! Replace the ginger snaps with low-cal cookies and add a tsp. of ground ginger. Replace the sugar with fructose or sweetener (remember to reduce the amount, as fructose and sweeteners have a higher sweetening effect)Instead of maple syrup, add a tsp. of maple flavouring.

Citrus Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2007

Easy and excellent I used chopped iceberg lettuce... For an extra taste garnish with a few shrimp or a little flaked cooked whitefish marinated in some lime juice... And/or add a handful of dried cranberries for a colour contrast...

I haven't yet made the recipe, but I've copied it it and printed it to take to my daughter's for our Christmas festivities! To tell the truth I've even copied the reviews! I enjoyed them as much as the recipe! Bravo Jeremy...you have a great family!

Pasta with Broccoli and Bacon

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2006

Excellent recipe...I do a similar dish without tomato sauce... Instead I use 1 package of cream cheese and 3 ozs. of fresh cream, which I mix together and add to the pasta once the broccoli is cooked... Other than that the rest is the same recipe...Excellent taste!
