Parsley Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2010

Simple and delicious! I cooked the potatoes in chicken broth and didn't add the salt at that time. I did mix in a small amount of salt when adding the parsley and butter.

I really enjoyed the dressing on this salad. Many members expressed concern about the sodium in the onion soup mix, but I felt it blended quite well with the other ingredients involved in the mix. It is a lot of work. My big worry was when to assemble the entire salad in fear that the contents would either dry out or get mushy. I made the dressing and grilled the chicken the night before, and assembled the entire salad the day of our party. The mixture sat refrigerated for a long time, and it was very good. However, I must say that the dish tasted a lot better the next day. In the future, I will make the salad the night before and also possibly increase the amount of dressing to bolden the flavor.

Spiced Pumpkin Seeds

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009

Awesome! I was in a hurry and found this recipe. After reading several reviews, I tweaked the recipe by doubling the spices with the exception of the Worcestershire sauce, and I also subbed the margarine with olive oil. I only had to bake this for 50 minutes at the recommended temperature. My hubby and I can't stop eating them!

Microwave Corn on the Cob

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009

I never microwaved corn before with the exception of purchasing frozen corn in the supermarket. This is an excellent, no-nonsense way of cooking a few pieces at a time when you are in a hurry. The only trick is adjusting the time amount if you have a more powerful microwave. I got away with 3 minutes for one ear.

Grilled Zucchini II

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009

Very, very good and simple! I cut the slices in thicker pieces as I had a monster sized zucchini that fed us for 2 different meals. Therefore, the cooking time on the grill was a bit longer. Afterwards, I threw the slices in a large foil pan and drizzed some pecorino romano cheese on each piece. I covered the pan with foil and throw it in the oven on 170 while we grilled our main course. The steaming process further cooked the zucchini slices and melted the cheese. Next time, I will be a lot more generous with the cheese amount as it really complimented the dressing marinade.

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2009

Great dish -- the only thing I changed was the method of cooking. I used my griddle and sprayed each side of the fish with vegetable oil Pam. Therefore, I was able to cook the marinade on the stovetop while the fish was on the griddle.

Spicy Peach-Glazed Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2009

After reading all of the wonderful reviews, I hate to be a spoiler. However, the combination of these spices along with the sauce did not appeal to me. I must say that the chops came out very moist and tender, but I just didn't find the taste all that appealing.

Clam with Tomato and Rice Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2009

After reading the reviews, I tweaked the recipe to my own thoughts. I doubled the amount of clams and also subbed the one cup of water at the end with an 8 oz. bottle of clam juice. I had no problem with the acidity of the tomato sauce. Best new soup recipe that I've come across in quite awhile!

Stuffed Pork Roast with Herb Seasoned Artichoke and Mushroom Stuffing

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2008

I'm sorry. The stuffing calls for way tooooo much butter and broth. It came out like soup. The stuffing oozed out of the roast while cooking(even though I tied it like crazy), and the meat lacked any kind of special flavor. Once the meat was cooked, the stuffing itself became dried out. I was extremely disappointed.

Grilled Lamb with Brown Sugar Glaze

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2008

This rub is fantastic! I served this dish with Orzo w/Parm & Basil as a side (also on this site) which complimented the flavoring of the lamb. I'll definitely use this recipe again and again!

Fabulous Zucchini Grinders

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2008

Awesome sandwiches! Took the advice of adding some onion, green pepper and cooked in olive oil for extra flavor. I made a larger batch, and the mixture even tasted better the next day. My husband couldn't believe this was a meatless sandwich.

Slow Cooker Pork Chops II

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2006

I did not like this recipe at all. By judging the ingredients, I thought it was going to turn out wonderful. I did cut down on the amount of olive oil because I thought it to be a bit much, but unfortunately that didn't even salvage the recipe. The end result was very greasy, the flavor was gross and the chops were dry (even though I basted). Sorry!

Italian Roast Beef I

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2005

Outstanding! I cooked the roast in my crockpot on low for 5 hours and added 3 cups of beef base. After the gravy had a chance to cool down, I strained the liquid through a fat separator, thinly sliced the beef and let everything soak overnight. The next day I had one of the beef Italian Beef sandwiches I ever had! Thanks Michelle!

Cuban Black Beans II

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2005

Yum! I followed the recipe without changing a thing (used the dry beans). Absolutely wonderful over a bed of steamed, long-grain white rice! I had no problem with the amount of water as the beans soaked it right in -- you have to let this dish cook for the amount of time that the recipes calls for.

Hamburger Soup I

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2005

A very good soup -- very versatile. I added a 1/2 cup of barley to further thicken the texture. I took your advice, Amanda, and made a quick loaf of homemade bread to go with it! Thanks for the submittal.

Apple Radish BBQ Ribs

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2005

Incredible! With the unforgiving weather this weekend, grilling wasn't an option and my tastebuds wanted ribs. I think this recipe rendered some of the tastiest ribs I've ever made even though it's a boiling/oven method. It's a no-brainer to make and a "keeper"! Just may cut down on the amount of BBQ sauce the next time as there was too much.

Sage Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2005

I loved how easy and wonderful this recipe was! I may sub the bouillon with some broth to cut down on the salt the next time. Otherwise, this recipe yieled a very tasty and juicy porkchop.

Slow Cooker Chicken Parisienne

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2005

This was a decent recipe for the slow cooker. I might try to use boneless/skinless chicken thighs the next time because the breast meat was a bit dry. I had leftovers and it did taste better the next day after I shredded the meat and let it soak in the sauce. Per another reviewer, I sprinkled the chicken with some Emeril's Original Essence and ground pepper. Went great with a side of mashed potatoes.

Cowboy Skillet Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2004

For a quick, hearty meal on a week night, I HAVE to give this a five star rating! It was so easy and such a comfort food on a cold winter's night. I'm glad that I read the submitter's additional post regarding the adjustments. I only used 1 red bell pepper (chopped up small) and added a can of corn. I also used 3T of cajun, creole seasoning. Will make again as I always need ideas for a quick meal during the week! Thanks Mozibway for your submittal!
