Chicken and Spinach Alfredo Lasagna

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009

Very delicious, but plan on it taking about 3 hours to finish. We ate late, but it was worth the wait. Instead of 3 cups of heavy cream, I used 2 cups of 1/2 & 1/2 and one cup of skim milk. Also added fresh basil & oregano because I have so much of it. We loved it.

Authentic, No Shortcuts, Louisiana Red Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009

Very disappointing. Even though I cut back on water and added extra spices, it was still watery and blah. I'll go back to the packaged red beans & rice with andoille and some fresh onions & peppers.

Pasta with Hot Sausage Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009

This was awesome! Pretty much followed to the letter, but used fresh herbs instead of dried, and increased the amount. Just because I have lots of fresh herbs growing right now.

Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2009

This was extremely good, but there was way too much breading left over. I put it in a ziplog bag and put it in the freezer for next time.

Cheesy Baked Cauliflower II

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009

The recipe as written was very good, and I didn't make any changes. The only thing I'll do differently next time is drain the dish before serving. Although I drained the cauliflower after cooking, there was still a lot of water on the plates when I served it. Very good though.

This was delicious. For a little kick, I added a bit of chorizo sausage too.

Italian Style Meatloaf I

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

The taste was good, but it kind of fell apart when I took it out of the pan.

Peppy's Pita Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2009

Excellent, easy and fun to make. If you put them in the paper bag, though, they get pretty hard & crispy. Next time, if we want to stuff them, we'll try the damp towel method.

Alissa's Vegetarian Lentil Meatloaf

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

It was pretty good, but I think needs some more seasonings. Also, remember as at least one other reviewer said, this really has a lot of fiber. Be prepared.

Delicious Black Bean Burritos

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

I'm never sure if it's fair to rate a recipe I've altered, but it was very good with the addition of some salsa and grated pepperjack cheese.

Minestrone Soup I

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009

This was OK, but not thrilling to us. It is probably very healthy, however. I have a lot of ideas of things I'd add next time, like turkey sausage, more garlic and cayenne. Good start though.

Spinach and Feta Pita Bake

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2009

WOW!!! Great with the original recipe, but next time I might add some garlic. Maybe not. I had to cook a bit longer, but kept an eye on it. Thanks for the fantastic recipe.

Be Prepared Five-Bean Soup Mix

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2009

I thought I followed this recipe exactly, and can't figure out why it just didn't work, but it didn't. We just didn't like it. I'm just glad we tried it before we packaged it up as Christmas gifts.

Paella I

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2009

I received a paella pan for Christmas and decided to try this. Along with the pan, I received some very short-grained rice imported from Spain, used especially for paella. The recipe was great! The only changes I made were to substitute some scallops for the chicken and left out the wine because I didn't have any dry white. In reading about paella, I learned that the rice is actually supposed to cook until it's a little brown & crispy on the bottom. At least, that's how they like it in Spain.

Meatiest Vegetarian Chili from your Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2008

This was REALLY, REALLY good. Out of necessity I did a substitution on the beans, but I don't think it made much difference.

Pasta Primavera with Italian Turkey Sausage

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2008

I changed this recipe so much that I probably shouldn't rate it, but I will anyway. I didn't have zuchinni or summer squash, but I added small-cut broccoli, mushrooms and frozen peas. We all went nuts about this and stuffed ourselves. Like many users, you can vary the veggies and it's still great.
