Spicy Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010

Easy and tasty. I didn't have jalapeno, so I used dried red chili. Still nicely spicy. I also added onion, carrot and celery to mine, sauteed with the spices before I added it all to the crockpot. Seems like a really adaptable recipe.

Glazed Tofu Meatloaf

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2009

Oh Wow, really good! I made this almost exactly to the recipe, except that I only used 1 pound of turkey and a 16oz block of firm tofu. Texture reminded me a little of a meaty quiche. Flavor is awesome. I didn't use the whole package of onion soup mix because I had read other reviews about salt. Was not too salty, just right. Still fit nicely in a 9" square pan, but I would say it definitely served less than 12 (keeping in mind I used less meat). Seems like it would work well with variations, too, so I'm excited to try it with different veggies and sauces.

Tofu Chocolate Pudding

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2009

This is really delicious. I used silken tofu, a few more chocolate chips and a tablespoon of brown sugar because I wasn't sure if it would be sweet enough. It was actually more sweet than I would like, so I won't add the extra sugar and chocolate next time. Like other posters have said, the texture is very mousse-like with the silken tofu. I let it set overnight and it didn't have any tofu taste, to me. Will try again, next time with pureed bananas.

Cholay (Curried Chickpeas)

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2009

This is my go-to recipe for a quick veggie curry. I usually up the spices quite a bit, or sometimes I just use a small can of chickpeas and the same amount of spices and sauce. Really delicious and easy.

Spiced Baked Apples

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2009

Really delicious, and easy to tweak! I used mixed dried berries (cranberry, cherry, blueberry) plus raisins and walnuts. I cored the apples, cut them in half, filled with fruit and nuts, and then drizzled the butter and sugar mixture over it all. Like everyone else says, it took about 1 hour to get the apples really soft, but I was prepared after reading the comments. Everyone loved the orange zest!

Lamb Madras Curry

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2008

This is really good, even if you don't let the flavors sit for a day or two in the fridge! I had leftovers two days later and they were awesome. But it is still really good right after cooking. There were a couple of things I didn't have - ghee, cardamom pods (used powder), and curry leaves. I had never used tamarind paste before, but I thought it really added a nice balance of sweetness/tanginess to the dish. Great recipe!

Stuffed Acorn Squash Supreme

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2007

This is so easy and delicious! If you have more time, it is better to bake the squash with butter and brown sugar, add the topping and bake a little more to melt the cheese. I also like to use a spicy Italian ground sausage. To bake, put the acorn squash halves in a baking dish, open side up, with a good layer of water in the pan, cover with foil. Bake at 350 for about an hour.

Chicken Biscuit Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2007

This is so much better than the traditional canned soup/bisquick recipe! I like using fresh vegetables instead of frozen, but the frozen isn't too bad either when I'm in a hurry. The only problem I always have is the biscuits don't bake all the way through and turn out really doughy, even if I bake it longer. From now on, I will do what others have suggested and bake the biscuits separately. A great, warming meal for winter!

Tofu Parmigiana

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2007

I love this recipe and I make it regularly! It is always tricky for me to keep the tofu from sticking to the pan (I only use stainless steel and don't have non-stick pans). The trick is to really press the water out of the tofu by wrapping the block in paper towels and putting a weight on it. I also have more success when I use my wok. Delicious recipe, thanks!

Rice, Asparagus and Cucumber Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2007

My sister made this practically every week this summer and brought it to every family gathering. It is so good! I made it with dried dill and it is not nearly as good as the fresh (naturally). Also, I liked it heavy on the dressing, so I increased the dressing. A very good, refreshing summer salad.

Asian Coleslaw

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2007

I've made this salad many, many times and it is always a favorite wherever I take it. And it is easy to make additions or changes to the recipe. It makes A LOT, so I generally keep the dressing on the side and add it to half the salad, then if I need more salad later, I add the rest. It isn't like traditional coleslaw, where you have to let it sit for awhile. It is good freshly poured over the cabbage.

Classic Minestrone

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2002

This minestrone is so good because of all the fresh ingredients...the only thing canned is the beans. I sliced my tomatoes thin with a food processor, and it made the soup very attractive as well as tasty. Served it to about 15 friends and they all loved it!

Butternut Squash Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2001

Yum! I love butternut squash soup, and this was really good. I used less cream cheese than was called for, and I think that helped. It was rich and flavorful, with only half the cream cheese. Will definitely make again!

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2001

I liked the moistness and the rich banana flavor of this bread. Very good! The only thing I would change is adding nuts and maybe some cinnamon, because I like a nuttier texture in my banana bread.

Slow Cooker Split Pea Sausage Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2001

I and my 30 dinner guests really enjoyed this soup. I left out the sausage and it was still very flavorful. I had to make a lot, so I cooked it over the stove in a very large pot for 2.5 hours and it turned out wonderfully!
