This was so good! I halved it for my small family and baked it in a pyrex for 30 minutes, after letting it sit at room temp while the oven preheated. I also made the unsweetened applesauce for oil substitution. Next time, I think I'll add less sugar to the mix as it was a bit too sweet to feel healthy :)

Baked Zucchini Chips

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

I had a huge zucchini given to me by a neighbor, so I gave this recipe a try. It tasted a lot like eggplant parmigiana, but I was looking for something crispier. If I try this again, I'll try to slice even thinner. Personally though, I think zucchini is best marinated in Italian dressing and grilled on a skewer!

Antipasto Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

This was pretty good and keep in mind that it makes a ton! I nixed the black olives and used a light balsamic vinaigrette dressing instead of the packet + vinegar + oil. I wasn't a huge fan of the cubed Asiago cheese, I think next time I'll finely shred it. The flavor was just a little too strong in cube form!

Barlow's Blackened Catfish

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2009

I make a very very altered version of this recipe, but it turns out fantastic! Basically I thaw my catfish fillets, rinse, then cover with Cajun seasoning. I fry them up in hot olive oil for ~2 mins/side. Then, I cover with the Italian dressing and bake at 350 for 20 mins. It's really good and simple! Serve with green beans and lo-sodium dirty rice mix minus the ground beef.

Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2009

For 1 lb of ground turkey, making 4 burgers: ~3 Tbsp onion, handful of parsley, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 2 garlic cloves (this may have been too much), salt, pepper, seasoning salt, some worcestershire sauce. I did lightly flour the patties before frying, 6 mins/side. Served with lettuce, tomato, mayo on wheat rolls. Yum!

Sandy's Casserole

Reviewed: May 25, 2009

Great basic recipe. I make a million modifications, though! More macaroni, boiled/chopped chicken breasts, more cheese (Mexican blend), just 1.5 cups milk, add fresh mushrooms, onion, frozen peas & carrots, substitute cream of mushroom for one of the cream of chickens - and use lo sodium soup!

Meatball Sandwich

Reviewed: May 25, 2009

This is a great recipe, and so much easier than the meatballs I traditionally make. No pre-frying, just bake and you're set! So good that my husband came home for lunch so that I could warm them up special for him (just not the same in the microwave, I guess!) I thought they were a little dense, though, but I added 2 eggs so that might be my fault.

Mmm-Mmm Better Brownies

Reviewed: May 25, 2009

WOW! These brownies are incredible! I made the butter substitution. They were really fudgy, but tough to get out of the pan looking nice. Who cares though when they tasted this great!

Magic Marshmallow Puffs

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2009

I was looking for a quick dessert recipe given what I had on had, and this matched so I gave it a try! Really tasty and sticky and sugary! Wouldn't recommend for anyone worried about getting messy though - this is definitely not a company dessert, unless your company is a bunch of 8 year olds for a sleepover ;-)

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2008

So, so, so good! Definitely adding this to my fall baking list. The texture of the cookie was great, I thought it was rather light. The icing was also a nice addition, though I only used half of it.

Greek Pasta with Tomatoes and White Beans

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2008

This was very yummy! Like others, I sauteed garlic in olive oil first before adding the tomatoes and beans. I also added fresh basil and oregano. I chose to sprinkle the feta on top as directed, and this gave it a good amount of tang whenever I took a bite with the just melted cheese - yum! My only complaint was that the sauce was a bit watery, but it was nice to have a lighter sauce. We served it with crusty bread.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: May 14, 2008

I've been trying to incorporate more seafood into our diets, and this recipe has been an absolute hit with my husband. Granted, it isn't the most healthy recipe in the world, but I tone down the mayo (use light) and butter (halve it) and it's still great.

Sunday Chicken Supper

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2008

I also have no idea why I followed the suggestion to use a ranch dressing marinade, it turned out really gross looking. Tasted good though. I'd give it a 3 based on how it tasted, but bumped it up to 4 since the recipe didn't call for the marinade.

Turkey Roll-Ups

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2008

These are great! I took previous reviewers' suggestions and omitted the onion, though I did add a little bit of onion powder to the mix. I didn't really measure anything, just threw the ingredients together to taste, and it still turned out great! I've made these several times since for lunch, it's way better than the boring turkey sandwich.

White Chocolate Snack Mix

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2007

I brought this for Thanksgiving and it was a BIG hit! I had to microwave the chocolate a bit longer, and I added more M&M's and pretzels than called for. This was so good, I think I've started a new tradition.

Chilie Pork Tacos

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2007

These were really good, next time I'll probably use flour tortillas because the corn ones are a bit dry for my taste. I agree that the salsa verde really makes this - don't skip it!

Seven Layer Dip I

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2007

This was *amazing* I had it for my baby shower and it was a big hit. Some changes we made - after spreading the beans & cheese, microwave for like 30 seconds to just melt the cheese a little bit. I know that the beef is supposed to do that, but I think this helps cook the beans a little. Also, we skipped the black olives, tomatoes & green onions on top. I agree that it's best at room temp, but it's still good out of the fridge.

Garden Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2007

Very good! I made this for my lunches that I bring to work and the veggie combination was great. I added a bit less onion because I don't like when it overpowers...and way less dressing. I bet it's probably tastier with more dressing, but hey - this is healthy!
