Linguine with Clam Sauce and Baby Portobello Mushrooms

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2010

This is a very good, flavorful recipe. I made it with a few changes, and I think everyone should definitely be aware of the salt and fat content. I used two cans of clams rather than four, added a cup of chicken broth and left out the bouillon, and I still found it to be plenty salty (the canned clams contain quite a bit of salt). I also used about a third of the butter called for and mixed a couple teaspoons of flour into the broth to thicken it.

Linguine with Chicken and Sauteed Vegetables

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2009

Really good recipe for a healthier version of lo mein. I used 1/4 cup of oil, plus one tablespoon, which was plenty. Don't skip the lime!

Sausage Steamed Dinner

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2009

Wow! I wasn't expecting much from this recipe, I thought it be bland and boring with no spices or garlic, but it was terrific. I didn't have ham hocks so I used only wild rice brats. I sliced them and sauteed them, then sauteed the root vegetables in a little olive oil, and used chicken broth instead of water. Next time I'd like to add some garlic.

I thought it was too sweet. Next time I will cut back the sugar in the muffin.

Herb Roasted Chicken and Vegetables

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2008

I made a few modifications, and this recipe turned out fabulous! I used a whole cut up chicken, trimmed the excess fat and skin, and brushed the meat with a little olive with a crushed clove of garlic in it. I added 4 medium sized potatoes and 4 carrots cut into 1 or 1/2 inch chunks, and poured an 18 oz. can of Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup (sorry Campbell's!)over the top. Then I sprinkled liberally with salt & pepper, herbs de Provence and smoked paprika for color, and baked it for a little over an hour. The chicken was moist, the vegetables were tender, and the gravy was delicious!
