Tuna Lime Tostadas

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2007

..A deep sea fishing trip resulted in a freezer full of tuna steaks..One particular recipe I chose left me with a few marinated and grilled tuna steaks which I used to make these tuna lime tostadas/tacos. I just cut the steaks into bite size pieces, used flour tortillas and pico de gallo rather than the corn tostadas and salsa. I also added a diced avocado..Served with drunken fruit slushies...No complaints!

Pain au Chocolat (Chocolate-filled Croissant)

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2007

These turned out to be my Saturday baking project... I didn't feel like dusting off my bread machine so I just used my KitchenAid with good results. When you start to read this recipe you will find it necessary to add more liquid to the batter, I added about 1/2 cup more, and used all semi sweet choc chips that I chopped up a bit. Also there is no need to pinch the ends closed. They look prettier if left open... We loved these flaky, crispy, buttery, chocolaty petit pain au chocolat and served with steaming cafe au lait!

Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2007

...Very Yummy! I included these in my 4th of July menu yesterday..just diced my chicken and veggies and put them all in a ziploc bag with the marinade for 6+ hrs. I didn't have room in my fridge to preassemble so when it was time to fire up the grill I pulled a few guests from the pool and we had these skewered in no time! I highly recommend adding button mushrooms...very good flavor! Thanks Ann Marie.

Belles Hamburger Buns

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2007

Nice texture and very forgiving...My 3yo and I made these to hold bbq filling this weekend and everyone loved them. I used the exact ingredients, but mixed them up as we usually do. I let my daughter roll and pat the dough until they were almost flat..but they still rose beautifully. I did end up tossing on some minced onion and poppy seeds which gave "Tay-Tay's buns" some extra flavor...Thanks Belle!

Chocolate Quesadillas

Reviewed: May 29, 2007

If your sweet tooth is out of control..this is the way to go. When I'm in a hurry, I just butter one side of a tortilla and place in a hot cast iron skillet, buttered side down. I then sprinkle half of the tortilla with mini marshmallows and chips (semi sweet, milk, butterscotch or peanut butter) then fold the tortilla over the filling and flip to brown evenly on both sides... :)

Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa

Reviewed: May 29, 2007

This was the first Mango Salsa I have ever attempted and I must say it won't be the last. We loved the flavor combo..very refreshing. Next time I will add an extra mango and jalapeno and reduce the amount of cilantro and oil. Loved munching on this with salty tortilla chips...so good.

Savory Party Bread

Reviewed: May 28, 2007

I have prepared this Savory Party Bread twice now..took to a bbq and it was gone before I could snag a bite. The second time it replaced our popcorn during a lazy afternoon of video's. We LOVE this recipe and any leftovers you may have are easily reheated in the foil...thank you Kay!

Sugar Coated Pecans

Reviewed: May 16, 2007

..We absolutely love these pecans. I made them to give as gifts for moms day and they were happily received. I ended up using 2 egg whites, just whisked them by hand in a chilled bowl then spooned them into the cinnamon sugar mixture (I also doubled the cinnamon). Prepared my pan with buttered parchment and baked until nearly dry. Once cooled the finished product is superb! We nibbled on these with our coffee at the end of a glorious day spent with family and friends...thanks Carolyn.

Three Cheese Garlic Scalloped Potatoes

Reviewed: May 3, 2007

..Was in a hurry with this one and didn't have time to read the reviews. Was fairly good but definitely needs some onion more cheddar and about 25 more minutes in the oven. I served with Mini Meatloaves and Cheddar Broccoli salad.

Delectable Marinated Chicken

Reviewed: May 1, 2007

Really good flavor...I usually avoid liquid smoke but added a splash out of respect for the author of this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. Served with a fresh romaine salad I topped with grilled red pepper and Bills Blue Cheese Dressing..so good.

Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2007

..We really liked this. I used brown rice veggie swirl pasta and McCormick Buttermilk Ranch dressing mix. Just seasoned with garlic powder and pepper. I agree with IMVINTAGE in that it reminds me of Suddenly salad...only better. Thanks Wilemon!

Spring Biscotti

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2007

..good biscotti recipe. I usually bake chocolate walnut so this was a nice change of pace.. I LOVED the aroma of the orange zest that was evident when whipping up the butter and sugar so I had to add more. The only advice I have is to be sure to chop the pistachios and cranberries and don't forget to refrigerate the dough. As others stated the dough was sticky but I was able to shape it by spooning it onto the parchment and wetting my fingers to shape..Didn't crack or crumble when cutting. Also be sure to watch the final bake as 15 mins would have been too long for my oven. Topped mine with a drizzle of white chocolate. Very pretty.

Berry Cheesecake Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2007

I saw these in the Feb/Mar 2006 Taste of Home Magazines judges top pick..I agree. I used frozen berries, patted dry before adding to the cream cheese mixture and they worked fine. Not too sweet and keeps well in the fridge for a day or two. Next time I will use 8oz of cream cheese to bump up that flavor and try different berries too.

Lavosh

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2007

...I was so glad to find this recipe! My girlfriend and I used to dine at a restaurant in Scottsdale that served lavosh. They would top it with lots of melted cheese, green chilies, diced tomatoes and avocado...so good! I am freezing half the dough (divided) and am hopeful it with thaw and bake up just as good when needed. Thanks Sally..this recipe will save me lots of ca$h :)

Dave's Coleslaw

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2007

Great coleslaw ROXY! Needed a side for our Surf and Turf BBQ and this was it! I love the pickle! Next time I'll cut back on the amount of sweet onion and add another baby kosher dill. I put the leftover dressing in the fridge and poured it over a spinach salad the next day... :)

Zesty Rice 'N' Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2007

Not bad.. I prepared a big fat chicken for the grill and had some time to make another side dish. Used yellow pepper and added a pat of butter as the veggies were sauteing. Scaled this to 4 servings and had to add more liquid at the end. Family liked this better than I did...think I will add some of that grilled chicken and a little cheddar to the leftovers and make burritos for lunch :) Thanks Daphne.
