I only used 1 whole jalapeno .... woo baby!!! I actually like hot food and I think it had the right amount of heat when put on food. This is a keeper. I sub the mayo with Olive oil and there did not seem to be any difference in flavor. I think the jalapeno dominated somewhat.

Black Bean Hummus

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2009

Very good as "base" or other additions! I read several on the web and this seems like the "base" ingredients for all of them. I also substituted the reserved bean juice with olive oil and the lemon juice with lime. Rave reviews from DH. Next time I may add some jalapenos just too keep it interesting!

Shrimp and Feta Cheese Pasta

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2009

I don't think enough wine or herbs were used to have the flavor needed. However, the shrimp and feta pair well together.

Dill Pickles

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2008

As others suggested I added some red pepper flakes to the mixture. We waited 4 days before we opened them and boy were they good! Several people have tried them and were really impressed with my results.

Broccoli Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2006

I used fresh garlic and sea salt in place of the garlic salt. I also added some silvered almonds for a little crunch. Turned out great.

Navy Bean Soup I

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2006

My husband and I nearly ate all of this in one sitting. I had to substitute based on what I had on hand - so 1 can of chicken broth instead of adding chicken boullion. I added carrots and couple of dashes of hot sauce. Fixed in the crock pot and served with Jiffy cornbread. Thanks for contribution - cannot wait to have it again.

French Onion Soup VIII

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2006

Really good. Onions caramelized in 30 mins. I substituted red wine and added thyme as suggested by another reviewer. The soup was really wonderful and my husband asked me to make it again. I only had whole wheat bread - which was a horrible substitute. I agree this really only serves 2 people. ( Also! Make sure you have bowls to put under the broiler before you make!)

Supreme Strawberry Topping

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2006

Added less than an 1/8 tsp of fresh lemon zest. Really perked up the fresh taste.

Yummy! I didn't see the suggestion for white wine until too late but I bet that would make it even better.

Fruited Curry Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2006

This was really great. I also added the honey to the recipe. I did some substitutions for some of the veggies - like adding red peppers. I think that's what makes this recipe a good base for what you have in your frig.

Crostini

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2006

Quick! Easy! Yummy! Instead of rolling the bread in the cheese I just placed little piles of it on the bread. It seemed easier and worked okay.

Amazing Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005

The next time I make this I will use beef broth instead of red wine. The red wine adds a tang that doesn't really compliment the meat. I used a CA Cab. Sav. - so maybe a Pinot or less bold red would have been okay.

Awesome Broccoli-Cheese Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005

Mine did not thicken but I think I did something wrong. When I make it again - I will add the salt and the pepper to the mixture instead of on top. It was slightly bland but would most likely please a crowd. I added almonds to provide more crunch and subsituted Cheeze-its for the Ritz crackers which worked out well.

Suzy's Mashed Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005

These had a good taste. I did warm the milk - but I added too much. I didn't quiet use 2 lbs of potatoes thus I didn't need as much milk. So my advice to myself and to you is to add the milk until you get the consistency you are seeking.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2005

This recipe was tasty and received rave reviews from the family. The only thing I did wrong was use the low sodium soup. We just ended up adding more salt from the shaker - so it was worse than just using the real soup. In short, the salt is an essential ingredient for taste.

Spicy Peach-Glazed Pork Chops

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2005

Substitutes: Sugar Free Apricot preserves in place of Peach preserves and red pepper flakes in place of chili paste. This was really tasty, simple, and quick. It has an Asian flavor to it. I served Herb Buttered broccoli and sliced tomatos with it. I should have taken a photo because all the colors gave it a nice presentation. We both loved it so I will make it again. I would even consider this a nice enough recipe to serve to company.

Broccolini with Seasoned Butter

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2005

Substituted broccoli - but will try the broccoline since I have a recipe now. Used the Lemon-Pepper/Dill version and it was really tasty. AND - it was quick and easy!
