One-Pot Pasta with Tomatoes, White Beans and Pesto

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009

I used this as a great base recipe. First, since others thought this was too salty, I halved the bullion (1 cube instead of 2). I also used penne because I didn't have bowtie. Then, I added some sauteed onion, garlic, mushroom, and spinach. This made for an awesome presentation and was so yummy with the extra toppings!

Indian Dahl with Spinach

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009

I followed the recipe exactly, except I can't have chili powder so I omitted that. I actually felt the spice level and salt to be good as written. It is missing a zip. I am not sure what I did wrong. I used the coconut milk you purchase in the refrigerator section, so I don't know if it would have turned out better with the canned coconut milk. The yogurt idea is fabulous but I also can't have dairy (I am a walking food disaster-- hard to find recipes!) It is not bad, just missing a zip in my opinion. Maybe I'll try adding some fresh squeezed lemon before serving?

Jewish Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2009

This was fabulous! I did modify it based on the ingredients I had and it still turned out great. I only had reduced fat sour cream (probably a good thing since it calls for so much butter). I took the advice of others and used brown sugar for the filling. I also didn't have walnuts and only a handful of almonds on hand. I chopped up the almonds in the food processor and added about 1/2 cup of oatmeal to the mixture just for a little texture since I was low on nuts. My husband ate the whole thing is a couple days and asked when I was making it again! Can't wait to try it with walnuts!

Roast Pork Loin Chop

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2009

Everyone seemed to be saying these were moist but bland, so I marinated mine in a tequila lime marinade all day. I would say mine turned out flavorful but dry. What did I do wrong! I followed the instructions exactly and they are almost inedible they are so dry. The only difference is that I marinated my chops. I'll try something different next time-- maybe a crock pot chop recipe.
