Lime-Cilantro Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2012

Beautiful color, and I loved the fresh bite of the cilantro and the tang of the fresh lime juice and vinegar; however, I did not care for the sweetness from the brown sugar at all.

This spice blend does not require extra seasoning at the table (so some may think it is too salty). We froze bs breasts in this rub then defrosted/marinated for two days before sauteeing. This worked well for those who make meals ahead. Leftovers were also good, served on top of a SW salad.

Grilled Peaches and Cream

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2011

Riper peaches would work better for grilling. Ours were firm enough that it was difficult to remove the pit, so 8 minutes on the grill wasn't enough to warm through. We liked the honey and cream cheese topping, but added more honey to our plate. Served as a side to Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs.

Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2011

Froze marinade and chicken cubes together a while ago then defrosted/marinated for two days. Delicious! Chicken skewers only (no pineapple). Grilled at 350-400F, 5min/side for perfect, juicy chicken.

Laura's Seafood Thermidor

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2011

I used all walleye, and it worked well! The combination of seafood would be good too (I'm sure), but in case you only have 1lb of shrimp or 1lb of fish... I would still recommend you give this recipe a try. Very rich dish. Salt and pepper added at the table made it perfect.

Chili Rubbed Pork Tenderloin With Apricot Ginger Glaze

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2011

The dipping sauce made this dish for us. Pork without the sauce is bland.

Italian Meatball and Cheese Tortellini Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2011

Very rich flavor for such a short cooking time. I subbed a quart of homemade tomato puree for half the beef broth, but otherwise made as directed. Makes six substantial portions.

Seafood Chowder

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2011

So simple to prepare. Doesn't taste canned! I've made this as written, done all shrimp and all fish (I use walleye).

Korean Spicy Marinated Pork (Dae Ji Bool Gogi)

Reviewed: May 8, 2011

Halved the recipe, and subbed 3T of Thai red chile sauce. Still plenty spicy! Pork slices (I used tenderloin instead of loin) cooked up in mere minutes. I cooked in batches, sliding done slices under aluminum foil to stay warm. Went well with Spicy Bok Choy in Garlic Sauce and takeout fried rice.

Spicy Bok Choy in Garlic Sauce

Reviewed: May 8, 2011

Half way through preparing the recipe I realized I didn't have Oyster Sauce, so I subbed equal parts Hoison Sauce and Black Bean Sauce (because both tasted good to me). Probably should have just used the BB Sauce because this came out a tad sweet (my fault).

New Orleans Corn Bisque with Smoked Sausage

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2011

My husband loves anything with smoked sausage in it, so this was a hit. I used fresh corn shucked off the cob which added sweetness. We also added 3/4t of Cajun seasoning instead of the salt. Frying up the sausage pieces would have been a nice touch too.

Best Cream Of Broccoli Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2011

Easy to make but just average flavor. Could be thicker and creamier.

Pasta Bake

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2011

Too much meat, or too little pasta. Either way, this did nothing for us. Needs seasonings too - I added dried basil and oregano, but we still needed to add salt and pepper at the table.

Grilled Asian Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2011

Very teriyaki in flavor. Ok, but we thought it needed some heat - a shake of red pepper flakes would be a nice addition.

Mom's Cucumbers

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2011

Cut the recipe for one seedless cuke. Didn't have salt (!!) or celery seed in the house, but somehow had celery salt. Worked well. Made one day in advance, and slices still had some crunch.

Winter Lentil Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2011

Even 1/4t of curry powder was too much for us! I added more chicken stock to dilute the curry flavor, and that worked well. This is a thick soup, more like a stew. Easy recipe for crockpot - 8 hours on low cooked all the veggies and raw lentils through.

Korean BBQ Chicken Marinade

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2011

OK flavor, but we were expecting more ooomph since the marinade had a fair amount of chile paste in it. Marinade and raw chicken froze and defrosted well.

Crunchy Pea Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2011

I only used frozen peas and water chestnuts that I chopped up to match the pea size. Lessened the sauce since I left out three veggies and tossed to coat. Really tasty, fast side!

Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia Pasta

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2011

Made exactly as written this is a dry dish. Fish flaked apart in pan, which was fine. I removed seeds and ribs from the jalapenos, so not overly spicy. Leftovers were even more dry. Recommend doubling sauce or using less pasta.
