Yummy! I made these with a few modifications = used black beans instead of pinto, half the amount of cream cheese, and 10" whole wheat tortillas. Also, I chopped up 2 chicken breasts into small pieces and cooked them in a non-stick pan with a heavy sprinkle of both cumin and chili powder. I also covered the enchiladas with a bottle of enchilada sauce and sprinkled with some reduced fat monterey jack cheese. This was really really good...could have it once a week!

Grilled Orange Vinaigrette Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009

Followed the recipe exactly. Great, fresh flavor. I don't have an outdoor grill, so I used my Cuisinart indoor grill/griddler - perfect and good for you too! Thanks for the recipe!

Sweet And Sour Glazed Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and just one pack of onion soup mix. This was easy and yummy. A good stand-by recipe for a week night...you can keep all the ingredients in your pantry and just pick up the chicken! Good over rice!

Artichoke Orzo Pilaf

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009

I substituted shallots for the leek and also added a couple cloves of crushed garlic. I also mixed the final result with a couple cups or so of hot brown rice, to stretch it out. This made enough for a crowd and was great! Especially good for artichoke lovers, but I think this recipe is flexible enough to include all kinds of vegetables. I might try asparagus next time.

Cheese Ravioli with Pumpkin Sage Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2009

I followed this recipe exactly, except that I used a bag of frozen whole-wheat raviolis (not the Buitoni refrigerated kind). It came out great! Has a nice mild flavor, which I think is a good thing because sometimes pumpkin can bit a bit overwhelming when it is a part of a main dish. Also, I agree that the fresh sage makes all the difference!

Easy Creamy Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2009

Wow, this couldn't be easier and tastes great. I seasoned the pork loin liberally with garlic pepper, used 2 cans cream of celery soup, and cooked on low 8 hours as directed. The pork stayed moist and the soup makes a great gravy. The only drawback is it doesn't look all that appetizing, something about the color of the soup. Maybe I could have done something better with the presention - definitely tastes SO much better than it looks!!!

Easy BBQ Bake

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009

I baked this at 375 for 45 minutes, uncovered for the last 20 minutes. The sauce wasn't all that thick, but the chicken was still tasty. I had to baste it several times and then poured some additional sauce over the chicken when served. I'd be curious how to get the sauce to stick to the chicken. Thanks for the recipe - I'll try this again!

Oatmeal and Wheat Flour Blueberry Pancakes

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009

These came out pretty good! You really couldn't tell there was oatmeal in them once cooked. I added a tsp of vanilla extract and a few sprinkles of cinnamon. Used regular 1% milk rather than soymilk. Thanks for the recipe!

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009

I added a little cinnamon and these tasted great, just a little thick. Next time I will take the suggestion of adding more milk.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2009

I added a bottle of beer in place of the water, and omitted the vinegar and bay leaf because I didn't have any. This cooked for about 10 hours on low and came out good. The corned beef should go on the bottom of the crockpot with enough liquid to cover. Also, not sure if you are supposed to, but I trimmed A LOT of fat off the brisket before it went into the crockpot...

Potato and Cheddar Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2008

I was very impressed with how easy this was and how good it came out. I used all my left-overs from Christmas dinner! The only changes that I made were I added the onions at the same time as the potoatoes so they softened. And, I added left-over asparagus half-way through which added a great taste. This came out very creamy and flavorful. Will definitely make this again.

Apple Stuffed Chicken Breast

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2008

I think this deserves 4.5 stars really. I followed this recipe exactly as written and it came out great. The cheese was a bit hard to detect, and I may not have browned mine long enough to get good color, but otherwise this tasted great. Thanks!

Broiled Sweet and Tangy Tilapia

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2008

I admit I am a picky fish-eater...however the mix of flavors in this recipe just didn't work for me. We didn't finish our meals and I wouldn't make this again.

Zesty Southern Pasta and Bean Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2008

This didn't work for me. Something about the combintation of italian dressing and mexican seasoning just didn't go well together.

Tangy Mango Slaw

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2008

I ommitted the onion and walnuts and used celery instead. Also, I used real sugar instead of Splenda. This has a very pungent flavor and there is plenty of dressing, so I think I would cut back next time. Overall, this is unique and very healthy....would make again.

Savory Herb Rice

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2008

I used chicken broth instead of water and ommitted the soy sauce. Also, I used brown rice instead of white. It came out great, just slightly undercooked. I think next time I will either add more liquid or cook a bit longer at a lower temperature. The water seemed to cook off before the rice was fully cooked. Seasoning was perfect.
