Colorful Coleslaw with a Kick

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2005

Lately I have begun to use 1/4 cup of olive oil instead of a 1/2 cup, Key Lime Juice instead of regular lime juice and twice the hot sauce.

Awesome recipe - I added an extra 1/4C of cheese and baked at 350 for 30 minutes to bake out some of the moisture - my kids hate spinach and they liked it - this will be making some potluck appearances in the future

Pumpkin Chili

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2003

Used ground turkey instead of beef, black beans instead of kidney beans and a full 15 ounce can of pumpkin because I didn't know what to do with the rest of it - tasted great but I will cut back on the sugar some next time - thanks

Okanagan Peach Soup

Reviewed: May 22, 2003

Despite not having any fresh peaches (canned only) we gave it a try and I thought it was great. I may cut back on the curry a little in the future. I also plan on doubling the coconut milk. Thanks.

Vichyssoise

Reviewed: May 22, 2003

Just had gum surgery and my wife made this for me. Excellent. My wife even made herself a non-pureed batch without the cream and she loved it. Thanks.

Cream of Mango Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2003

This almost the exact recipe that my wife uses. She does add the bluberries and I sometimes add a little hot sauce. This summer I even plan to try some in the ice cream maker.

Lime Chicken Picante

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2003

After reviewing the recipe and the other reviews I added some extra salsa (mild) & lime juice while cutting back a little on the mustard (I used Grey Poupon - but of course !)- served it over spicy yellow rice and it was a big hit. I even forgot the yogurt in the mad rush of trying to get the kids to the table - I'll try it next time. Thanks

Cream of Fresh Asparagus Soup II

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2003

My wife found this recipe in the Tried & True Quick & Easy Cookbook and it has fast become a family favorite. We double the recipe because 4 servings just isn't enough. My gluten-free mother subbed corn starch for flour and she loves it too. Thanks.

Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2003

I used Black Beans instead of kidney beans - also had to scramble when I discovered that I didn't have soy sauce or chili powder - used sukiyaki sauce and cajun seasoning instead - I liked them a lot more than my kids did - good change of pace - thanks

Bacon and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2003

Great Soup - Next time I plan to puree it smooth prior to adding the cheese and bacon - maybe a little cream - thanks

Sweet Potato Pound Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2002

I made this late on Thanksgiving Eve - discovered after I mixed it all up that I didn't have a tube pan so I had to use an old bundt pan. I also tried to pop it out of the pan too soon after it came out of the oven. It broke in half but it still tasted delicious. Our family was pleasantly surprised to have yet another dessert option on Thanksgiving. Thanks.

Cajun Crab Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2002

My wife made this for me last night and it was great. Spicy. She pureed the crab with the cream prior to adding it to the pot - made for a very creamy soup. Was great with the Southwestern Flatbread she served with it. Thanks.

Using frozen cranberries can give you a much denser salad.

Sweet Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2002

My wife made this for me the other night - she didn't have a turnip so she added an extra sweet potato - loved the spices - went really well with the mini corn muffins I made earlier in the week - thanks

Chili-Lime Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2002

Made this vinaigrette a few weeks ago and will be making it again tomorrow night. I subbed Key Lime Juice and a clove of crushed garlic. Marinated chicken, shrimp and veggies (green & yellow squash, green & red peppers, cherry tomatos, mushrooms and pineapple chunks) before tossing them all on the grill. Thanks.

Fruited Ice Cream

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2002

I made a scaled down version of this ice cream (slightly changed the proportions) over the 4th of July weekend and served the fruit over it instead of in it. Very creamy and delicious - a hit with 4 different families so far. Thanks

Restaurant-Style Coleslaw I

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2002

My wife made this one the other night and she will definitely be making it again - it was even better the next day when the flavors had had a chance to blend a little
