Tara's Chicken

Reviewed: May 28, 2009
Nice easy recipe. I like that the chicken is boiled in water instead of fried in a pan since I'm watching my fat consumption.

Calamari in Red Wine and Tomato Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008
Fantastic. I omitted the olive oil and Romano cheese because I didn't think it was necessary. I did find that there was too much sauce in proportion to the calamari though so I doubled the amount of calamari. Also, this is best served on rice since it is so saucy (even with the calamari doubled).

Lobster Tails Steamed in Beer

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008
Tasted great and I will use this recipe again because it was a very simple way to prepare lobster tails.

Aunt Edith's Baked Pancake

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2007
Really good, reminds me of yorkshire pudding. Mine didn't puff up as nicely as the picture, but it may be because the oven wasn't hot enough when I put the pan in.

Chicken Parmigiana

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2007
This is one of my favorite meals but I prefer it when the breasts are pounded really thin. And it takes much less time to cook this way which is a definite plus. I also prefer to brown the chicken in a frying pan, and then cook it in the oven with the sauce and cheese for 20 min. I serve it with plain white rice.

Raisin Bread II

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2007
This bread was definitely too dry. More water should be added.

Welsh Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2007
This bread had a really nice flavour, but the dough was extremely wet and sticky. I finished the bread off in the oven but even though I greased my bread pan, after 30 minutes, the loaf ended up burning and sticking to the pan and I had to scrape it out with a spatula. I would not make this recipe again, but I might try adding raisins to one of my favorite caraway rye bread recipes. I think it would have the same flavor without the mess.

Whole Wheat Toasting Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2007
I've tried this recipe two different ways and what a difference. The first time I made it, I made the dough in my bread machine and then finished it off as per the recipe directions. I substituted light cream for the milk because I was short on milk and used margarine in place of the shortening. The second time I made it, I did it entirely in the bread machine and used skim milk. The first time it was excellent, in fact I can't remember making a better 100% whole wheat bread but the second time it was just ok, nothing I would look forward to. So give it a try with the light cream and margarine, and don't use the bread machine to bake it. I think you'll really enjoy it.

Poppy Seed Lemon Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2007
This is a very unusual tasting bread. We liked it but didn't love it. I enjoyed the nutmeg butter on the toasted bread.

Cajun Shrimp

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2007
Delicious and fast (especially if you don't have to peel the shrimp). We didn't have cayenne pepper so used chili powder and crushed chili peppers instead. A great weeknight meal.

Pita Chips

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2007
We didn't have these with any dip or spread but they were great on their own. We'll definitely make them again.

Almond-Honey Wheat Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2007
I have a 1 1/2lb bread machine so I had to scale the recipe down to 12 servings. I think I expected a little too much from this bread. It wasn't bad but just didn't have as much flavor as I expected. One change was that I found I had to add a little extra water while it was mixing.

Sunflower Rye Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2007
The recipe didn't indicate what size bread machine was to be used. I have a 1 1/2 lb bread machine and the loaves are generally 12 servings so I scaled the recipe down to 12 servings. I found that I needed to add extra water while the dough was mixing because it seemed dry. Next time I would add the sunflower seeds when the beep sounds so they don't get as mashed up, and I think I would add a bit extra because we like them. Other than that, it was great and I will make it again.

Cheesecake

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2007
I found this cheesecake to be way too sweet, and it had a really sweet aftertaste that finally went away after about 30 minutes. I think it was caused by the confectioners sugar. So if I try this again, I will omit the sour cream topping and use only white sugar in the cheesecake (and cut the sugar down to 1 and 1/4 cups max). Then I will put fresh blueberries on each slice right before serving. I also found that I had to bake it for almost an hour rather than the 25 minutes stated in the recipe. It hadn't set at all at that point.

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2007
Great recipe. The only change I made was to use 2 tbsp of sugar in place of the sweetener. I will definitely make them again!

Awesomely Easy Sesame Asparagus

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2007
I used toasted regular sesame seeds instead of black ones, and they were great. I found the asparagus a bit overdone, and I was afraid to reheat it in the oil for too long because I didn't want it to cook any more so it was also quite cold. Next time I will cook it for 3 minutes so that I can toss it in the oil for longer to heat it up.

Easy Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2007
These were great. I made the recipe "Chicken Cordon Blue II" (also from this site) the night before and had some sauce left over, so I made this recipe for the chicken the second day and served it with that sauce to do a comparison. To me the sauce is the best part so I would probably recommend that recipe over this one. However, I think I enjoyed the chicken more with this recipe because it was so juicy. So if you make this recipe, try making the sauce from the other recipe to go along with it. You'll love it.

Chicken Cordon Bleu II

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2007
Loved it. Make sure to pound chicken breasts to about 1/4" thickness. The sauce was fantastic. My only complaint is that my guests thought the chicken was a little dry and that I could have cooked it for less time, so next time I will try simmering for 20 minutes instead of 30.

Asparagus Parmesan

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2007
10 minutes is way too long to cook the asparagus. I did them for 4 and they were overdone. Next time I will try for 3 minutes. Aside from that, this is a nice recipe, especially if using fresh grated parmesan.
