This was a good salad - I make a salad similar to this but I use balsamic vinegar instead of red wine. I liked this dressing though. I used plain walnuts for time saving, but I would like to try the salad with the glazed walnuts another time. I will probably make again.

Curry-Coconut Shrimp

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

This could have been 4 stars perhaps had I not added the corn starch and added something to make the shrimp spicier.

Pumpkin Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

Very tasty, I made 1/2 portion. The only thing I added was a little vanilla. Pancakes remain slightly moist in the middle because of the pumpkin, but I like this. Pairs well with maple syrup.

Easy Hummus

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

I made this hummus when I found that my tahani had gone bad. It was good - added olive oil for a smoother consistency and some of the reserved liquid. Used roasted red pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper for a kick. Also approx 2 cloves of garlic and a bit of salt with the juice of one lemon.

Pumpkin Bread IV

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

This was excellent... I only made 1/3 of the recipe. I used 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 applesauce, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Bake time was around 80 - 90 minutes.

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

This was good - I put it on top of some spiced cupcakes. It would be really good on pumpkin - I will try that next.

Brown Sugar Oatmeal Pancakes

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

This recipe was kind of dense. I'm not used to cooking with oats so maybe this is to be expected. I think I'll go back to buttermilk pancakes.

Hummus III

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2009

I picked the recipe but my husband actually did the execution. We added more garlic than necessary - we also added cumin and some roasted red pepper. Cayanne pepper too. It was really good. Scaled back the recipe becuase my can of beans only held 1 and 1/2 cups. The flavor and consistenty was both excellent.

Broccoli Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2009

Really tasty - I made this for a causal carry out dish. I added sunflower seeds per another reviewer's suggestion. I also used more broccoli than the recipe called for. 1 and 1/2 cups just didn't seem like a lot. I used turkey bacon to make it a bit healthier. I will definity make again.

Lime Cilantro Rice

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009

Really tasty and easy too. I did not zest the lime due to a time crunch. The rice really didn't need it anyway. The lime juice provides a nice salty taste. We paired this with chicken tacos. Very good!

Garlic Green Beans

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

My mom gave me some canned green beans and I was looking for a flavor combination recipe. I followed the recipe minus the cheese. Not bad. I'm just not that crazy about canned beans - I prefer steamed beans.

Bar-B-Que Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

I put this on chicken and it was great. My husband suggested adding lemon juice, which we did. Great flavor on the chicken - I wasn't too crazy about the sauce by itself. I might add less garlic powder next time.

Cucumber, Tomato, and Red Onion Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009

This was okay. I am used to using a vinegar base with cucumbers so the lime was just okay. I did not have any red onion so I used regular white onion.

Honey Wheat Sandwich Rolls

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009

These did not turn out well, but I think it was my fault. I did not have a bread machine so I was using a kitchen aid mixer. I attempted to poof the yeast in the warm milk and honey and for whatever reason it did not poof. Will need to try again later. The flavor of the rolls were good but they had the consistency of a hockey puck.

Sweet Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2009

These were just okay. They needed to either be sweeter or salter. I may try again but will increase the sugar.

Tortilla Soup II

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2009

My husband loved this soup. It was so spicy that we didn't put in the cayenne pepper - only the cumin. We added some chopped jalepenos which is why it was so spicy. We'll probably make this again.
