Broccoli Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2011

I did make several changes, but the soup turned out great. I can't have any broths right now, so instead of the broth and garlic powder, I threw fresh garlic in towards the end of cooking the onions and used garlic salt instead of garlic powder. Processed cheese is on the list of things I can't have right now too, so I used cheddar. I was also out of corn starch, so instead I added potato flakes.

Garlic Feta Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2011

Oh my goodness, this is so good! I can't eat sour cream right now, so I used a full cup of yogurt instead of half sour cream and half yogurt. This makes it healthier but it's still creamy and delicious!

Mom's Buttermilk Pancakes

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2011

It might be a little unfair for me to rate this recipe, since I didn't really make these pancakes as written. I had some cultured cottage cheese that tastes like buttermilk and used a mixture of that and almond milk instead of the buttermilk. I'd bought the cultured cottage cheese on accident and I really didn't like the way it tasted by itself, but in this recipe it was DELICIOUS!

Smoky Four Cheese Macaroni Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2011

Oh my goodness, this is so good! When I tasted the smallest drop of the liquid smoke, I thought that maybe I should leave it out because it tasted terrible on its own, but I'm glad I left it in. As soon as I put the cheese in the sauce it was clear that the liquid smoke was adding the perfect little oomph! to this dish.

Three Bean Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2011

This is good, but not great. As others have said, it's not all that flavorful but what flavor it does have is pleasant. I've never heard of canned lentils, so I put in a cup of dried lentils. That meant that the soup needed to be cooked a little longer and I had to add a lot of extra water as it was cooking. I recommend putting the cheese on top of each bowl instead of mixing it into the soup.

Mom's Buttermilk Biscuits

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2010

YUM! I've never made biscuits before and have always been pretty intimidated by any recipes that involve cutting in shortening but I went ahead and gave this a try and got deliciously flakey biscuits. A lot of my kitchen tools are currently in storage so I just used two knives to cut in the shortening, patted the dough down with my fingers instead of using a rolling pin, and used the top of a cup to cut the biscuits out. My biscuits turned out a lot more rustic looking than the ones in the picture, but I kind of like them that way.

Mushroom Lentil Barley Stew

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2010

Darn. I read some of the reviews that said there was too much pepper, but it took a while between reading the reviews and my actually getting around to making the soup. By then I'd forgotten. The other reviews were definitely right. It'll be better the next time (and I'll change my review then). However, I was happy to find that my soup was finished in 6 hours instead of the 10-12 in the recipe.

Roasted Garlic

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2010

Roasted garlic is delicious, but this recipe is WAY under estimating the time it takes. I baked my head of garlic (method 1) at 250 degrees for 50 minutes and it still wasn't done. Then I finally asked my aunt, who roasts garlic regularly what she does. She bakes it at 300-325 for about 45 minutes. I turned up the heat and gave it a little longer and it was fantastic!

Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

Very good! Very easy! Tossing in whole garlic cloves while the potatoes are boiling and then mashing them along with the potatoes allowed me to skip that pesky chopping garlic step I hate so much. I had blue cheese that I wanted to use up, so I tossed that in instead of the Parmesan, and only 2-3 Tablespoons at that. It was still delicious. Also, I tasted it before adding the cheese; it was great that way too, so feel free to leave out the cheese completely.

Classic Waffles

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009

These were good. I replaced half the flour with whole wheat flour and increased the sugar to 1/4 cup.

Zucchini Summer Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2009

This seemed more like a pasta sauce than a soup to me. I doubt I'll make it again, although my mom seemed to like it, so she might.

Chorizo and Lentil Stew

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009

Not my favorite. It was a little too hot, without being all that flavorful, for me. ***** I have to change my rating from three starts to one.

Asian Ginger Dressing

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2009

The restaurant dressing I was trying to replicate was packed full of ginger, but when I finished making this dressing as written (except with only 2 tablespoons of honey, as suggested), it was basically just liquid. Luckily I had a 9oz jar of ginger paste in my pantry. I added the ginger paste one or two spoon fulls at a time, tasting in between each addition. It kept getting better until I'd ultimately added the entire jar and had ended up with a very tasty dressing. Oh yeah, I also used seasame oil instead of olive oil, but didn't have rice vinegar, so I used regular white vinegar.

Cranberry Apple Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2009

Yum! Cranberry sauce (the kind that's shaped like a can) has always been one of my favorite holiday foods, but I bought a ton of whole cranberries when they were on sale and decided to try a few recipes to see if I could find a good way to use them. My grocery store didn't have 6oz cans of apple juice concentrate, so I made a double batch. I definitely cooked the sauce longer than what it took for the berries to burst; I waited until they were mostly broken down. I did add a little sugar, but even though it was a double batch, I only added a Tablespoon or two.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2008

Mmmm. These are delicious cookies. I did make some changes though. I substituted whole wheat flour for half of the flour, instead of using 2 cups of white sugar, I used 1 cup of brown sugar and 2/3 cup white sugar, I substituted apple sauce for almost all of the oil, I doubled the cinnamon and added dashes of ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.

Veggie Pot Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2008

Wow! This is ridiculously good! Although, I will change it a little next time. I thought the taste of the filling was delicious a little bit at a time, but in a full serving the salt and pepper were a little overwhelming for me. I'll go a little light on both of those seasonings next time. This time I did substitute a few veggies - I didn't have cauliflower or carrots, so I used broccoli and asparagus. Yum.

Curried Wild Rice and Squash Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2008

This soup is really tasty! I was skeptical about the orange juice, so I waited until the end and added it to a small bowl as a test. I was amazed by the tangy complexity it added. It may sound like a weird ingredient to put in soup, but it's definitely a good addition. I only had one, smallish, butternut squash, but I didn't adjust any of the other amounts in the recipe and it still turned out great. ****In later attempts I've waited too long to use the squash and it had gotten sweet. Beware sweet squash, the sweetness really didn't work well with the other flavors in this soup.

Butter Chickpea Curry

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2008

This was good, but not as good as I had hoped. I didn't read the suggestions from other cooks though and next time I'll use crushed tomatoes instead of the soup.

Italian Dressing Mix

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2008

Yum! I may never buy Italian dressing again! I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt and olive oil instead of canola. Delish!

Butternut Squash Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2007

Oh my GOD this is AMAZING!!!! I never thought I'd like butternut squash soup, but one of my students gave me a butternut squash and I have been looking for something to do with it that didn't involve sugar. So I figured I'd give this recipe a shot. And now I think I'm hooked! I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable bullion instead of chicken and I only used half the cream cheese, but it was delish!
