Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2009
These were a great departure from beef patties...enjoyed the zing nicely tempered by the refreshing yogurt sauce suggested.

Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup with Cardamom

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2008
Loved it, with minor adjustment. I also needed to add about 2 more cups of stock (veg was nice) to keep it from resembling baby food. Tried leftovers the next day adding a little coconut milk. Not bad, but I like it without better. Delicious, try it.

Coconut Curry Cabbage

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2008
We all enjoyed this curry. I was looking for something different to go with rice and Kahlua pork and it went well. I did leave out the cilantro as a favor to my son, but I'm sure it would taste great. I'm pleased to find a new cabbage dish; thanks!!

Italian Bread Using a Bread Machine

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2008
This recipe has consistently worked well for me. I use it all the time. It's soft and tastes great. Just a note if you're feeling creative, don't try putting too many sesame seeds on it like you see in Italian bakeries. They really overpowered everything. I have to think back to my childhood and remember if that was a heartier bread.

No-Mayonnaise Ranch Dressing

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2008
Love it! Love it! And we like mayo, too. It's a great all around dressing to doctor up or not. Do try it! Leftovers a long time in the fridge, too.

Yogurt Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008
This recipe turns out well time and time again. I usually don't have lemon yogurt on hand. I use it when I do, but normally I use plain yogurt and double the amount of lemon extract. It's a winner; thanks for posting.

Butt Stompin' Barbeque Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008
This sauce is terrific, with just enough heat to make it addictive! I was unable to find fresh habanero peppers so I used dried ones. The only mistake I made was to puree everything at the end since I was after a smooth basting sauce for baby back ribs. The aeration from the blender made the sauce lose it's slick, rich color, so I won't do that again. I will probably just dice the onion much smaller next time. These are not for the faint-hearted!

Orange Roughy with Montreal Salsa

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008
We enjoyed this treatment of orange roughy. I think it can easily be used on any fish fillet. I used a Villaware indoor grill; it was quick, easy and very tasty.

Easy Garam Masala

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2008
Just what I needed! I didn't have time to round up whole spices; frankm7 is right, whole is best, but in a pinch, this worked well.

Soft Onion Sandwich Rolls

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2008
Oh, yeah! These rolls are the cat's meow, awesome, da bomb! I, too, have baked up many a disappointing batch of rolls. These are what I have been looking for. Nice with or without the onions on top. Try them with Dan's Favorite Chicken Sandwich from this site and some pan fried pickled jalepenos. Oh, WOW!

Portuguese Bean Soup I

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2008
I'd really like to give this a three and a half stars; my husband really liked it, I sort of liked it. It brought to mind my grandfather's habit of putting ketchup in his chicken soup. Why he would do that? I don't know. Anyway, it's a change of pace soup; something different with the beans, definitely spicy, and easy to fix.

Mom's Traditional Creamed Onions

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007
Way too much watery sauce for the amount of onions called for. I'd use half the amount of liquid and maybe some dehydrated onion bits to give the sauce some flavor in addition to the salt and pepper to taste.

Low Carb Cauliflower Leek Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007
What a wonderful soup!! After reading the reviews, I used only 6 cups of stock and found it to be just right. It wasn't bad without the cream, but I crave that velvety goodness of cream soups. Use a dusting of curry powder or not; delicious both ways.

Cranberry Coleslaw

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007
Zing! I made this for a Christmas potluck dinner last night. Came home with an empty bowl. The cranberries really liven up the cole slaw while the apples balance out their tartness. It's a winner!

Balsamic Roasted Pork Loin

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007
Although the roast was moist and I thought it tasted pretty good, my husband didn't care for it. I hardly tasted the vinegar, but he did. Sooooo, I'll probably stick to the old marinade standby: Montreal steak seasoning, garlic, olive oil and a touch of soy sauce. Never fails to delight.

Quick and Easy Thai Style Coleslaw

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2007
We didn't care for the sour, fishy taste of this cole slaw. Maybe it was the brand of fish sauce I used. Oh, well, there are plenty of other salads out there.

Glazed Cornish Game Hens With Apricot Pistachio Dressing

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2007
These hens are a wonderful holiday or company entree making a lovely presentation. I'm glad I read the other reviews; even at 350-degrees the hens started to get dark brown before they were cooked through, so tenting with foil may be needed. Keep a watch on them. Also, there is not an abundance of fruit or pan juices, so if you like lots, you might want to increase the amount of fruit and deglaze the pan with chicken broth or white wine at the end. Definitely worth making!

Coconut Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2007
This is a delicious quick bread; better than the recipe I've always used. The second time I made it, the only slight changes I made were to include a 1/2 teaspoon of coconut extract along with the other extracts, which gave it a nice flavor and to chop the coconut so the bread wasn't so chewy. Several people asked for the recipe after they sampled it at choir practice. Do try it!

Hawaiian Macadamia-Coconut Squares

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2007
I had high hopes for this dessert; what's not to like with these ingredients? Well, they were really sweet and I thought the coffee made everything else taste flat. Sorry, but I won't be making again.
