I've made this recipe from many years ago, originally from a church cook book but it is nearly identical except it calls for less dressing, which I saw in reviews. I've done a variety of things with it, including adding chopped celery, canned water chestnuts, and even using cabbage instead of romaine. Regardless, if you make the recipe as it is written I think you will be pleased. I always use walnuts (toasted in a dry pan), not almonds, it is a different creaminess, flavor and crunch. I made it the tonight with red romaine that I found at the grocery store which was healthier and more colorful.

Tropical Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009

Loved this recipe! I only found sweetened shredded coconut in the baking aisle so I purchased a fresh coconut and grated it. Made a great difference! I will certainly make this again. Great texture and balance.

Caesar Baked Shrimp

This is amazing! It has so much flavor with so little work and effort. I made it exactly to the recipe, except I didn't broil, just baked it. This is a keeper.

Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

This was a good start. I made the recipe as it is written. With a few tweaks it would easily be a four or a five star recipe. I think I will make this again because it is budget friendly, I would add more garlic and add more pumpkin, and kidney beans.
