Richard and Suzanne's Louisiana Crawfish Pasta

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
Good base recipe and can be adapted to be a little less bad for you too. I used 1/2 cream and 1/2 2% milk and thickened with corn starch, and used less butter than called for. Added chopped asparagus, more garlic, and creole seasoning. Without the added seasoning, it would've been pretty flat in flavor. It would be really good with some spicy sausage too to give it more substance.

Artichoke Spinach Lasagna

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2009
Good recipe. Only changes I made were using homemade pasta sauce I canned with my gardent tomatoes, using lower fat cheeses and adding in a little low fat ricotta for additional creaminess in the layers. Also a few chopped black olives.

Stuffed Peppers with Turkey and Vegetables

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009
Very versatile recipe. Made many modifications, including using venison instead of turkey, no mushrooms, tomato juice instead of paste, added fresh hot peppers. Liked it - will try with other modifications as well. Thanks

Barlow's Blackened Catfish

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009
Good recipe, very spicy. cut salt to a pinch and italian dressing to just whatever coated the fish. I wrapped the fish in foil in the oven and it only took 15 minutes to cook. Would make again.

Chocolate Cherry Cake II

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009
Wow. Made this as a 10 inch double layer cake for a friend's graduation. Cherry pie filling in the middle and cherry buttercream on top and sides - then covered in fondant. HUGE hit.

Slider-Style Mini Burgers

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009
Giving it 5 stars because I don't believe in deducting points when I change a recipe. I made these today for my daughter's preschool graduation picnic. Made a double batch and sub'd ground turkey and ground chicken and halved the amount of mayo. Also used colby/jack cheese instead of cheddar. Pretty good reviews from the crowd.

Delicious Black Bean Burritos

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009
Delicious. Added diced fresh tomatoes and used low fat cream cheese. Added my own recipe for rice (sauteed onions and garlic, add jasmine rice, chicken stock, and 1 tsp. cumin - cook per directions for rice - remove from heat and add chopped cilantro). Will definitely make these again.

Garlic and Tomato Tilapia

Reviewed: May 20, 2009
Very flavorful if you use enough spices. I used the 4 cloves garlic, some italian seasoning, onion powder. Salt and pepper in the sauce and also on the fish. Used reduced fat sour cream, but could probably leave it out altogether next time. Husband who doesn't like fish overall said I made him think about ordering Tilapia at a restaurant, which is pretty fantastic.

Beef and Irish Stout Stew

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009
Good recipe, but didn't have as much stout flavor as I thought it might. I increased the beer to 2 bottles and a little V8 in place of the tomato paste. Oh, and I used my slow cooker on low while I was at work for 8 hours. Tender and yummy though - served over garlic mashed potatoes.

Zucchini and Corn Topped with Cheese

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009
Used fresh garlic and a pinch of italian seasoning in addition to the salt and pepper. Used frozen corn instead of canned. Only used a sprinkle of cheese over the top. It was pretty good - might use even more seasoning though next time.

Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2009
Delicious recipe - but for me the cooking times were way off and my steaks would've been well done (we like ours more medium rare). I seared both sides for one minute, added liquid and covered for maybe 1 minute, uncovered and turned and cooked 3 more minutes total and they were perfect. My husband didn't think you could cook a great steak on the stove before trying this recipe - will make again for sure.

Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2008
I liked the lamb and so did my guests, but the marinade didn't penetrate as much flavor into the meat as I would've thought it would from the smell of it (I marinaded it over 24 hours before cooking). Would make again, but would revise the marinade to some degree.

Black Forest Cake II

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
My husband says this is the best Black Forest cake he's ever had. Followed most of the directions as written. Used Hersey's Extra Dark cocoa in cake. Replaced coffee with 1T powdered espresso diluted in 1T water. Also used full amount of Kirshwasser on cake and let it soak overnight. Added about 1T. of cherry juice to cakes when layering. Moist and delicious. Will make again.

Chocolate Praline Layer Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2008
Very good flavor and balance of sweetness. I had no issues with it sticking to the pan (primed the pans with Wilton cake release). As another reviewer mentioned as well, my praline topping baked to the outside of each layer...so the middle had none (and I was careful in putting the batter in the pan so not to disturb the praline at the bottom). A little tough to cut with the chewy outer rim of praline and the whipped cream filling. Still got good reviews from the family though. Very pretty presentation too.

Acorn Squash

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2008
I did cook it halved with the butter and brown sugar, covered, for 45 minutes and uncovered for another 10. It was wonderful. I also tried the suggestion on 2 of my 4 halves of adding bacon and I have to say that was a really good addition too. Will make this again in a heartbeat.

Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Stuffed with Spinach and Ricotta

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2008
Good recipe, but I made modifications. Used froz spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove water. Used 1/2 ricotta and 1/2 cream cheese for richer flavor (but used part skim ricotta and reduced fat cream cheese). Instead of garlic and onion powder, sauteed some fresh minced of each. Added a couple pinches of Emeril Essence, which really kicks the flavor up too. One strip of low fat bacon on each. Delicious.

Moussaka

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2008
Very good taste, but I thought the eggplant almost got lost in the beef mixture. I think I need to add more eggplant or something else for texture and substance next time I make it - but I will be making it again.

Coconut Cream Pound Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2008
Very good recipe. I used it to make a wedding cake for my father in law and it turned out not only tasty, but a solid base for using fondant to cover the cakes. I frosted it with homemade buttercream with additional coconut extract. Got rave reviews and my husband is picky about sweets.

Cream Corn Like No Other

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2008
Great recipe. I did add a small amount of finely minced onion and garlic to the pan and lightly sauteed before adding the other ingredients. I also went a little lighter on the cream and a little heavier on the milk as well as a little lighter on the cheese. Very good.
