Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie II

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2011

Even my non-vegetarian husband had seconds -- I call that a success! Mods: Had to add extra veg broth to the barley/lentil mixture as the barley just wasn't getting soft. Added worcestershire sauce to the carrot/onion mixture in place of the yeast extract. Added a layer of corn in between to make it more like the meaty version I usually make for hubby. Next time I think I will put the walnuts through the food processor and maybe add some canned diced tomatoes to the veggie mix.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2010

Absolutely perfect! Do not be tempted to add cinnamon, nutmeg, etc... The simple, delicious flavor of the granny smith apples is what sets this pie apart. Eating leftovers for breakfast as we speak!

Fresh Tasting Black Beans With Rice

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2010

As an "emergency-meal" I liked it. After a trip to the supermarket I'll probably add chopped tomatoes, diced red onion, and fresh cilantro. And definitely fresh lime juice rather than lemon next time.

Easy Vodka Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2009

Perfect! I had a vodka sauce craving tonight and this is exactly what I was looking for. Hubby and I really enjoyed it! I halved the recipe since it's just the two of us and added a few spices. Restaurant flavor at home...will definitely make this again.

Zucchini and Potato Bake

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008

Used a little cajun seasoning in place of the paprika. I eat this as a main dish (vegetarian) and also serve it as a side dish with my husband's steak. Great right out of the oven...a little mushy as a leftover. Still tasty though!!

Creamy Vegan Corn Chowder

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008

A yummy, hearty, vegan soup! 4 stars because I changed a few things. Used Earth Balance Spread instead of olive oil for a more buttery flavor. Added a can of cream style corn at the end to enhance the corn flavor. I can't have chowder without potato...so I added about 2 cups, boiled. Will definitely be making this all fall/winter!

Fast and Delicious Black Bean Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2008

I pureed the broth, veggies and 1 can of beans for a flavorful base, without veggie chunks....then added the 2nd can of whole beans. 3 cloves of garlic was a bit much, so I added a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes with cilantro and lime at the end to cut the garlic flavor. Yummy! (Also omitted the ham).

Val and Jess's Vegan Avocado Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2008

As a sometimes struggling new vegan (8 weeks!)...this is just the mexican delight I was looking for. I was always a fan of taco dip, seven layer dip, salsa con queso... That was a tough void to fill until now. I love this recipe...and it's even yummier on day 2. I left out the extra onion (my salsa was pretty onion-y) and used a lime instead of lemon. Thanks for this yummy invention!

Chicken Caesar Pasta

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2007

Like another reviewer said -- I almost feel like I shouldn't be rating this because I did change it quite a bit. I had to give it kudos though because it's a great idea and my husband said it was one of my best experiments yet! I made a cold pasta salad with penne, diced grape tomoatoes, red & green pepper, cucumber and black pepper, mixed with a tiny bit of mayo and creamy caesar dressing. Marinated my chicken breasts in a little bit of the dressing then grilled them. Sliced the chicken and served it warm over the cold pasta and sprinkled fresh parmesan over the entire dish. Fabulous...we'll be eating this all summer!

My first pot roast and it was PERFECT! The gravy was wonderful and the meat....so tender! I brought leftovers to work today and it fell apart on my plastic fork. I can't wait to make this for guests!

Super Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2003

Loved this! Used leftover turkey breast and swapped out one of the cans of cream of chicken for cream of broccoli...okay and maybe added some extra potato...but this one is definitely a keeper! Perfect for these cold New England days!
