We added ginger and garlic which helped a lot. We also used a lot more soy sauce. It was still pretty bland. It's a recipe worth tinkering with though. I'd used pineapple chunks instead of crushed, throw in some water chestnuts for more texture (otherwise it's pretty mushy), and marinade the tofu. It could work with a sweet & sour sauce.

Slow-Cooked Tamale Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2009

I really liked this. I added a large garlic clove and baked at 350 for 45 minutes. I probably could have cooked it a bit longer. My husband ate it, but isn't a fan of Mexican or casseroles. My toddler didn't like it.

Kimberly's Meaty Meatloaf

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009

This was a great meatloaf, very basic and easily adapted and added to. My husband made it and didn't really measure everything and it turned out great. My toddler ate it up.

This was pretty good. Very heavy on the cheese. We'd make it again.

Pork Chop and Feta Skillet

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

This was very tasty. We love feta in our house so we put a lot more on than called for. My toddler really enjoyed it too.

This was VERY moist! We loved it! I broiled it and put the marinade in the bottom of the broiler pan. It was falling apart it was so juicy!

Aloo Matar

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

The blend of spices was pretty good. This needs much longer to cook the potatoes unless you chop them very fine. Be sure you only use the amount of potatoes in the recipe. Otherwise you have almost no sauce!

Roasted Garlic Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

This was great! The garlic needed to be roasted longer- at least another 10-15 minutes. For those worried it's too garlic heavy- roasting really cuts down on that. My toddler ate the toppings right off!

Orange Beef-Style Tofu Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

This was ok. Nothing phenomenal. The sauce was pretty basic in taste. There wasn't a lot of flavor. You definitely need to double (or triple) the sauce and vegetables to go with all that tofu (we cut it into thin strips). It takes at least an hour to make with all the frying of the tofu and prep. We added celery and red peppers. We'll make it again, but it's not in heavy rotation.

Lentil and Buckwheat Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

We really didn't like this one. It was edible but it was missing something. I don't think I'll make this again.

Suki's Spinach and Feta Pasta

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009

Really good meal! Very simple and easy to do. You can increase or decrease any part of it as much as you want. I diced up the mushrooms and used a bit less of the tomatoes. You can also add Italian seasonings or black olives.

Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

This was really good. We didn't use the parsley, chives or chicken. But we liked it, even without the dressing.

Black Beans and Pork Chops

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

This was so easy and very tasty. I seasoned the pork with a bit of Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and some pepper. The pork was a little flavorless if eaten without the bean mix. We may try cutting the meat up before cooking it just to help the flavors mingle more. We also didn't have any cilantro and found it tasted just fine without.

Asian Chicken Noodle Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

This was a great salad! We left out the chicken and didn't put the sugar in the dressing. We found it didn't need the sugar at all- the soy sauce cut down the tartness just fine. We also put the dressing on as each person wanted it. We have plenty of dressing left over and will make less next time.

Good for You Greek Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009

We loved the dressing from this! We just cut up a bunch of veggies, tossed it with romaine lettuce, some feta and olives. Even our toddler gobbled it up.

Easy Slow Cooker Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009

This was a good recipe. We did a lot of adjustments though. We didn't brown the meat first, just threw it in frozen and it was very tasty and tender. I used 3 granny smith apples sliced, 2 large golden potatoes, 1/2 c apple juice and some nutmeg and cinnamon.
