Black Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2011

Great as a base recipe. As per others' suggestions I added some corn, doubled the cumin and the garlic and added a can of roasted green chiles. I also added a teaspoon of oregano, a bay leaf, 1 tsp turmeric and a packet and a half of Goya Sazon sin Annatto.

Hot and Sour Chinese Eggplant

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2011

I loved this recipe! I added fried tofu, red peppers, onions, and minced garlic. I used rice vinegar in place of the red wine vinegar, siracha sauce instead of a green chili, and sesame oil instead of chili oil. I also tripled the sauce because I added more stuff.

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2010

Loved these! I took some of the other reviewers' advice and increased the amount of breadcrumbs and made sure to drain the pepper/onion/garlic combo before adding it to the mixture because it would have been too wet otherwise.

Tomato Sausage Tart

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2008

I made this twice so far and both times it was really watery. The last time I made it I put a ton of salt on my sliced tomatoes and let them sit for an hour or two to draw out the water. I did that because people said that this tart was too "juicy" because of the tomatoes. So that wasn't my problem. I also let the tart sit for 40 minutes so it could solidify a little more. I did use 3 eggs like some others suggested. I think next time I will use 2 eggs and one cup of heavy cream as suggested by The Food Network's Good Eats "Refrigerator Pie". Otherwise, it is a good recipe.

Banana Cranberry Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2008

This is a really good recipe! I made one big mistake though: I didn't want to make these into muffins, I wanted to make it into more of a loaf. I didn't realize that it would need to bake longer (probably about 40 minutes) than 20 minutes to be done. So when I pulled it out and let it rest for a little bit the ends were done, but the center was completely mushy. If you are going to make this into a loaf, be sure to leave it in for 40-45 minutes!

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2007

This is a great base for stuffed cabbage, as others have mentioned. I used regular canned tomato sauce instead of condensed soup. I also mixed it with some brown sugar, salt, pepper, and adobo seasoning. I made it with turkey instead of ground beef and I mixed some of the tomato sauce with the turkey. It came out very delicious and moist.

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2007

This is a really good recipe! I used ground turkey instead of ground beef to make it lower in fat. I used half a red onion, half a green pepper, and a diced tomato. Like a few others I used 1/2 cup of ketchup and 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. I found myself having to add half a cup of water and maybe another 1/4 cup of ketchup because otherwise it would have been too dry. Will definitely make again with my changes!

Meatless Lasagna

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2007

I made this recipe a few weeks ago. It came out really well, except next time I wouldn't use green peppers because it gives it a salsa taste. Next time I would use zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant and mushrooms!

Tortellini Soup I

Reviewed: May 18, 2007

This was a great base recipe for tortellini soup! Since I'm a vegetarian I omitted the sausage and cooked the onions and garlic in olive oil. I also used vegetable stock instead of beef, I added a stalk of celery along with the carrots and some frozen spinach with the zucchini. It came out delicious!

Curried Carrot Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2007

This recipe was amazing! It came out so delicious! I would suggest after you have pureed the soup and put it back into the pot to remove it from the heat and let it sit for half an hour or so and then reheat it...the flavors meld so much better together the longer you wait! I also suggest adding a little ginger!

Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2006

I made some changes according to suggestions by others. I added some fire-roasted green chilis to the beans, and I used black beans instead of the kidneys. Perhaps could have done without the mustard. All in all, good...yet strange.

Fast and Easy Tofu Lo-Mein

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2006

This came out so yummy! I used packaged fried tofu instead because it has a nicer consistency. I also cooked it in sesame oil with about 2 cloves of chopped garlic. I then added chopped mushrooms, carrots, bok choy and a 1/4 cup of water to steam the bok choy. I used two ramen packages but only one spice packet because of the high sodium factor, but I did add a splash of low-sodium soy sauce. When it was almost finished I threw in some green onions. SO good!

Chicken Pot Pie IV

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2005

I made this for tonight's dinner. I altered the recipe a bit though. I omitted the cheese (because I'm not a fan). In addition to the veggies I used one stalk of celery, half a sweet potato, and half a red onion. Instead of regular cream of chicken, I used campbell's cream of chicken and herb. Also, I used pre-cooked chicken strips. Then I topped it off with 1/2 cup of bisquick mixed with one egg and 2 tbs of water. It's beautiful!

Chicken with Couscous

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2001

The first time I made this recipe, I did not use the pepper because my family does not like foods that are too spicy, and they LOVED it! Tonight, Im planning on making it without the chicken, as a side dish and use more vegetables like red bell pepper, carrots and onions.
