Pumpkin Drop Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009
I really liked these, although personally I might like it to taste more "pumpkin-y". Brought them to my daughter's Pre-K for special snack, and they were a HUGE hit. The teachers said even the normally finicky kids asked for more. I used a basic sugar glaze with red sprinkles for the topping. Thanks!

Beef Loaf Deluxe

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
Very good! Nice to have a whole meal that is not a casserole, too. The potatoes were a little underdone and the onions were a bit too thin, so I think next time I will use my mandoline slicer set on 3/16" for everything.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2009
I was out of regular potatoes, so I subbed sweet potatoes diced small. Also used 1% milk and Smart Balance 50/50 butter, so the roux came out thin. No problem! Smashed the potatoes a bit at the end, and added no salt beyond the boullion. It turned out a beautiful color, and is simply delicious!

Winter Vegetable Hash

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009
I think this is great, but cannot give five stars because DH only said "it's okay". (To be fair to this recipe, he is not a lover of any hash-type dish. Asking for more than an okay was probably too much.)

Sweet and Savory Kale

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009
Ohmigosh! This is soooo good! DH rarely compliments a side dish, but this one earned approval reserved for Thanksgiving sides. Even my baby, who usually hates the texture of cooked greens, gobbled this up.

Garbanzo Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2008
I was looking for a healthy, easy meal for lunch. Boy, did I hit the jackpot! My 14 month old daughter and I ate the whole thing, and may have eaten more if we could. The only thing I did different was add a small amount of table salt at the end. Delicious! We will have this a lot in the future. Thank you, JDS, for sharing a wonderful recipe.

Grilled Rib Eye Steaks

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2008
Incredible flavor! I only had time to marinate for 3 hours, and it seemed like plenty to me. I think I may try 6 hours next time to see if the flavor is even better without being too salty.

Garlic Crab Legs

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2008
Absolutely delicious. I did not use corn, and used crab boil in the water. Also used some Creole Seasoning in place of the Old Bay and red pepper. I don't know anyone with a saucepan big enough for 3.5 lb of crab legs, though! I used a full pan chafing dish set across 2 burners, and flipped the crab with tongs every couple of minutes until the butter was nicely browned and sticking to the shells.

Italian Sausage, Peppers, and Onions

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2008
Excellent recipe, long on flavor and super simple. I subbed beer for the wine and served over brown rice. Considered cooking in the oven or crockpot, but I was not willing to give up that extra kick of flavor the sausage browning step imparts to the dish.

Japanese Ginger Pork

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2008
Awesome! I marinated a thinly sliced pork tenderloin for about 3 hours, then drained the meat reserving the marinade. Stir-fried the meat over high heat in a large skillet until nicely browned then added the reserved marinade plus some water to deglaze the pan (& glaze the meat!) Served on a bed of thinly sliced cabbage that had been sauteed with onion in wok oil until tender (with a little dark sesame oil for more flavor). A bit of soy sauce was added to the cabbage right before plating.

Diane's Colcannon

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2008
Very good. I used butter substitute instead of butter and added it to the potatoes with the hot milk. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe. Would be a great side with corned beef. 4 out of 5 because there is nothing super WOW about this dish. It is comfort food.

Venison Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2008
I love venison AND stew, so this recipe really hit the spot. Only change I made was to use 12 oz fresh veggies (carrot and red bell pepper) and I added 4 oz frozen baby peas for the last 15 minutes. Excellent!

Kale Puttanesca

I like this enough for five stars, but DH said it was "okay". It is everything I look for in a recipe: simple, tasty, and healthful!

These are delicious. I served with a rice pilaf - wonderful. Then the next day sliced on sandwiches - terrific again!

Spaghetti Squash I

Reviewed: May 3, 2007
I have made this a few times, a little differently each time, and it always turns out very good. I have braised the squash to keep it moist, added mushrooms and parsley, used shredded Italian blend cheese instead of feta, and subbed Italian diced for plain tomatoes. Definitley a versatile keeper!

Baked Scallops

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2007
Fabulous! I used sea scallops cut into bay-scallop-size pieces, and patted them dry after rinsing. Also turned them in the butter so they were covered before adding the topping. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks, John, for such a delicious scallop dish!

Sweet Russian Cabbage Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2006
I used slightly more than 1/4 cup sugar, otherwise left everything else the same. Delicious! My husband is not a huge soup fan, but he raved over the flavor of this one.
