Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2004

To make it more low-carb, omit the breadcrumbs and just use pecans, parsley, and dill.

Sweet Orange Chicken II

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2004

Easy and very good. Use any dried berries, or white raisins. Add slivered almonds, orange slices. Sauce is good over rice.

Crunchy Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2004

I used the plainest, least expensive brownie mix and the brownies were still great. Also, used crunchy peanut butter (plus the additional chopped peanuts). My batch only made 24 brownies, not 36. I guess I just like them bigger!

Steamed Tuna Fish

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2004

Easy, excellent, low calorie. We used white wine instead of water in the steamer to give extra flavor.

Rich and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2004

To make this healthier, I substituted olive oil for butter (conversion: 1 c butter = 3/4 olive oil) and half-and-half instead of whipping cream. It was excellent. This is an easy recipe to double, freeze half for later.

Cashew Crusted Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2004

Using low-sugar apricot preserves makes it less sweet. Using unsalted, chopped macadamias makes it richer. Can be assembled ahead, refrigerated, and baked in the evening for dinner. Easy and delicious recipe.

Peanut Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2003

My husband made a wonderful peanut soup like this for me on one of our first dates over 30 years ago. After we married, we made it frequently until the recipe became stained, torn, and eventually lost. We were delighted to find it again here and made it again. It was delicious, as always. We suggest substituting olive oil for margarine, half and half for whipping cream. Also, if you use crunchy peanut butter you have peanuts throughout the soup and needn't put any on the top as garnish; smooth peanut butter gives a more velvety texture.
