Linguine with White Clam Sauce II

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2011
This is a really good, fast and economical recipe. Like others I added fresh lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes for more kick and I added fresh spinach to make it a one pot meal. Yum!

Taco Seasoning II

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2010
This is a good base recipe. I added more cayenne and 1 tablespoon of Lawry's seasoned salt to suit our palate. It is much cheaper to make than buying the packets.

Easy Pumpkin Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2010
This is a real winner! I upped the spices and added a 1/4 cup of applesause to loosen the batter a bit then topped them with oats for a bit more fiber. This recipe could not be easier. The muffins were quite soft and sweet.

Couscous with a Kick!

Reviewed: May 12, 2010
This is a fabulous salad. Very flavorful and it keeps well in the fridge. I generally prepare a warm couscous with roasted chicken for dinner and then prepare this tasty salad the next day for lunches and snacks. Thanks for sharing.

Spicy Rapid Roast Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2010
This is THE roast chicken recipe, particularly the roasting method. I needed to cook 10 lbs of chicken pieces for a chicken dinner and this was the best way of keeping the pieces moist and juicy with crisp skin. I brined the chicken briefly and added more salt, rosemary, cayenne and other spices suited to our palate. The chicken came out perfectly with little muss or fuss. Next time I will add potatoes, carrots, celery and garlic for a complete meal in a pan.

Caesar Salad Supreme

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2010
Very flavorful dressing. Extremely easy to prepare and wallet friendly to boot. I will use just a tad less may next time and add a drop or 2 of tabasco for kick, but overall my family loved this.

Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon-Mustard Dressing

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2010
This is truly a 5 star steakhouse style salad. It is easily adaptable to items on hand. I left out the cheese and almonds to save a few calories and fat but I did you the bacon drippings to saute the shallot and garlic. I have used different vinegars depending on what I have on had, sometimes white balsamic, sometimes rice wine, sometimes white wine vinegar. My husband and son raved!

Quick and Yummy Hummus

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2010
This a great base recipe to alter to your personal taste. I love that it uses common pantry items that I always have on hand. I did add more sea salt and tahini to taste. I can imagine making this weekly.

Strawberry Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2010
This is a really good recipe. I use slightly less than 1/2 cup of oatmeal finely ground and add a few packets of sweetner. I also used 2/3rd cup of unsweetened almond milk because I wanted the smoothie really thick. If you allow the smoothie to sit for a few minutes before serving it gives the oatflour time to absorb some of the liquid which eliminates the "chalky" taste that some complain of. This is definately going in our rotation.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2010
I made these muffins without the crumb topping because I ran out of butter and they were still amazing. I subbed oat flour and added nutmeg and cinnamon to jazz them up. I also baked them in mini muffin tins for 15 minutes. The were just perfect.

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meat Loaf

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
This recipe will be my go to recipe for both the meatloaf and glaze (with a few modifications for our personal taste). I add 1/2 packet of onion soup mix in place of the minced onion, and a mixture of buttery bread crumbs and oatmeal in place of the bread crumbs. I also add a teaspoon of dry mustard to the glaze. This yields a moist, flavorful loaf with a sweet, tangy glaze, reminiscent of what is served at Boston Market restaurants. We prefer meatloaf baked in the oven though as opposed to the crockpot.

Jay's Hearty Breakfast Skillet

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009
We make a batch of this on Sunday morning and use it as a filling for breakfast tacos throughout the week. Needs salt & pepper though. Yummy.

Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2009
This is now my go to Honey Mustard recipe. It is breeze to whip up and keeps beautifully. Using FF mayo doesn't appear to alter the taste much and adds a nice body. I use rice wine vinegar and shallot in place of the onion.

Panzanella Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009
We really enjoy this salad. I do cheat by mixing in store bought seasoned croutons in place of the toasted bread to the vegetable mix just before serving. I also use grape tomatoes, baby mozzarella, and fresh basil.

Smooth Sweet Tea

I have drank tea all of my life and this is by far the smoothest tea I have ever consumed. So very refreshing on a hot summer afternoon.

Smothered Beef Short Ribs

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2009
With just a little tweaking this became a 5 star dish. I seasoned a mixture of short ribs and stew meat little heavier to suit our personal taste, browned the meat on the stove top and transfered to a crockpot. I also used just 3 cups of broth and thickened my gravy with one cup of a flour water slurry. Served it with rice, cabbage and insalada caprese. My family raved.

Fried Cabbage with Bacon, Onion, and Garlic

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2009
Yummy, yummy, yummy. I replaced the 3 tablespoons of salt with seasoned salt added to taste and I cooked the cabbage on medium until just tender. Definately a keeper.

Feta Cheese Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009
Superb recipe, I did adjust it to suit our tastes by sauteeing a half small onion with a few chopped mushrooms and a large clove of garlic in EVOO to add moisture and flavor. I served the burgers on whole wheat buns with a microlayer of FF mayo and fresh spinach leaves. Next time I will make a Tzaziki sauce to serve with them. This recipe will definately make it into our regular rotation. Yummo!
