This is so easy to make and works every time! Adjust the time and power level, if necessary, for your microwave oven.

Egg Salad I

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009
This is by far and away my favorite egg salad recipe. I have made this probably 20 times now, without any changes. I LOVE it! It has some kick to it, and tastes awesome. If I had one complaint, it would be that egg salad sandwiches from stores and restaurants no longer cut it.. it's just not nearly as good as this. I sincerely don't think I will ever, ever use another egg salad recipe. This is it, and it's great! Thanks for a great recipe! (made it again tonight :))

Best Bread Machine Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
Excellent and oh so easy! Can use with the bread machine's dough cycle and use as dough for whatever you please. I have used it as dough for cooking a loaf in the oven, which makes a more "traditional" shaped loaf, and have also used it as a base dough for making pizza, cinnamon buns, dinner rolls, etc. You can use the "dough" cycle on your bread machine and the results are great. First time I used this recipe it tasted a little yeasty, but I had 3 year's expired yeast and had upped the yeast to compansate. After buying fresh yeast, followed the recipe exactly and have had great results ever since. Thanks!

Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2009
Excellent recipe. My wife who doesn't like salmon ate this and changed her mind. Very good. Made with chopped hazelnuts rather than pecans as it was all that was on hand, probably would have rather had pecans, but still very good, easy and delicious.

Big Smokey Burgers

Reviewed: May 29, 2009
Fabulous! Love the smokey, spicy flavour. I prefer this to chris's bay area burger. The flavour is great, and the recipe is straightforward. I did not quite know what "grill seasoning" was so I used Montreal Steak spice. I also used a whole small onion but sauteed it first to cut down on the sharpness of the onion. I used the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (can be bought at wal-mart, cheap) and took the whole can and threw it in the food processor. I used the mixture in the recipe (this mixture keeps for months in the fridge, and tastes awesome) Otherwise followed the recipe exactly, this will be my new go-to burger for this grilling season! Got raving reviews and many requests for the recipe!

Chris' Bay Area Burger

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2009
Very good. maybe not the best burger I have ever had, but in the top 10 forsure. I used extra lean ground beef, because my wife and I are on a diet. I suspect the cheaper, and tastier, regular ground beef or ground chuck would lead to an even better, juicier, burger. Very good even with extra lean. Probably should deserve 5 stars, but I used extra lean, and it wasn't quite there. Delicious none the less. Make the patties and let them sit in the fridge for a while to hold and conform to shape before grilling.

Low-Fat Blueberry Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2009
These muffins are great! We simply love them. My wife is on weight watchers, these work out to 1 point each! She eats two every day! We have also subbed out the blueberries for very finely chopped apples, and added cinnamon. A sprinkle of quick oats on top, and a bake, and you have GREAT low fat, low calorie, high fibre muffins. These are delicious, and so very good for you. We both eat them daily, my wife has lost 40lbs. and I have lost 30lbs. Fantastic recipe!

Alfredo Light

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009
Used this for the sauce only, and added it to a baked pasta dish. I created a roux with the oil and the flour first and fried the onion in it, then added the remaining ingredients. I had to use a little more than 2tsp of oil though, so perhaps it wasn't the low fat alternative. We did it this was to get the onion to cook down a bit as my wife doesn't like the taste of onion. I'd make it again.

Marinade for Steak I

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009
It's a good marinade, tasty, and helps tenderize. I used it to marinate two thick round steaks and they turned out pretty good, actually really good for round steaks. I'd use it again.

Beef Barley Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2009
This Soup was easy to prepare and very tasty. I used stew beef (uncooked) about 1.5 lbs. I also used regular barley and cooked the soup with homemade beef broth. I cooked it without vegetables (just meat and broth) for a couple of hours, simmering. I then added the sauteed vegetables and simmered another couple hours. It tasted GREAT!

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2009
This recipe is Great! My wife and I have made it several times, with the following changes to make it healthier: Used Dry curd cottage cheese instead of ricotta. (1% fat) Used low fat mozza instead of regular(15%MF) Cut the onions up really fine as Nik doesn't like onions much, but I do. It takes some time to make, but if you're careful, you can make a delicious, low fat, lasagna. Nik is on weight watchers, and each piece (with the above changes) works out to 4 points. So two pieces for dinner, with a salad with low fat dressing works out to only 10 points. Not bad, and tastes very rich. For the parmesan, we have an italian deli close to home, so we use the full fat, full flavour Parmigiano-Reggiano but only the 1/4 cup for topping. We omit the other cup. A good quality, homemade chicken stock makes up for the cheese (keep in mind there's already 4 cups of mozza and 2 cups of dry curd cottage cheese, thats 6 cups of cheese!) The trick is the 1% dry curd and the low fat part skim mozza (if you're concerned about weight) We always double the recipe and freeze it in 2 piece portions after cooling, wrapped in plastic wrap, then freeze. Grab a 2 piece serving from the freezer, pop on a plate, into the microwave, and 5 or so minutes later, you have a healthy, low fat, lasagna which is a great tasty alternative to TV dinners. WE LOVE IT!
