Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
This was not very flavorful, I was disappointed after all the rave reviews. I will not make it again.

Pineapple Bread Souffle

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008
Strange recipe, but great tasting and easy to make. The texture is like a cross between a bread pudding and a soufflé. The flavor is sweet enough to be called a dessert but mild enough to be served as a side to a savory main dish. I will be adding this recipe to my list of favorites! Thanks for sharing.

Amy's Cilantro Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008
Creamy, spicy, and sinful! I served this sauce with the "Southwestern Egg Rolls" recipe from this site - the recipes really compliment each other. This recipe is thick like a dip rather than a sauce. Next time I might thin out the recipe into a sauce and use it as a taco topping or salad dressing.

Southwestern Egg Rolls

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008
Delicious! I made a vegetarian version by omitting the chicken and doubling the veggies. The filling is so good that I am going to try it with enchiladas or soft tacos. I lightly pan fried the egg rolls and didn't miss the deep fry at all. As others suggested, I served with the "Amy's Cilantro Cream Sauce" recipe from this site - this sauce really compliments the egg rolls.

Penne with Asparagus and Mushrooms

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008
REALLY GOOD and very easy recipe that tastes like more time was spent in the kitchen. The first time around I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. The second time around I liked it even more by cutting the oil to 1/4 cup and using 1/2 cup half & half and 1/2 cup low fat milk. Thanks for the recipe - I will be making it again!

Naan

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2008
Delicious naan recipe. I proofed the yeast before adding the other ingredients. I also added crushed garlic to the butter before grilling the naan. As other reviewers suggested, next time I'll add some baking soda to the dough to give the naan the bubbles I'm used to.

Banana Pancakes I

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2008
Definitely a crowd pleaser. I did a thin slice of the bananas instead of mashing them and only used one banana – it turned out great. I have made them twice in the past week!

Exquisite Pizza Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2008
Wow - excellent recipe and very easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly, except added extra garlic. The sauce has the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and spicy.

Emily's Famous Hash Browns

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2008
I followed the recipe exactly, these are too greasy and too oniony.

No Bake Cheesecake II

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2008
I used the recipe (without apples) as a foundation for a Kona Chocolate Cheesecake and it turned out great. This quick and easy recipe made it look like I slaved in the kitchen.

Speedy Homemade Salsa

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2008
My homemade salsa is good, but this salsa is great (and a little faster to make)! I used canned "fire roasted" tomatoes, which added a smoky flavor to the salsa. Yummy!

Curried Tuna Melt

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008
I am a vegetarian but made this for my hubby who loves curry. He rated it 5 stars and described it as "tuna with a kick." That's about as descriptive as he gets. But he is hard to impress, so with a five star rating, it must be delish!

Curried Egg Sandwiches

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008
As is, I gave the recipe three stars. The egg salad tasted good but was missing oomph. Once I threw in green onions, olives, and celery it became a four star sandwich.

Mandarin Orange Cake I

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2008
I followed the directions exactly - the cake is moist and smells heavenly, but it is a little too dense for me. I prefer a lighter cake. But, I LOVE the frosting! I will likely make the frosting again with a different cake. Note that the recipe makes way more frosting than needed.

Butterscotch Oatmeal

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2008
I have never had oatmeal with eggs in it before. Very creamy. A little too sweet for me, but I will make again with less sugar. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Honey-Balsamic Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2008
A delicious dressing made with simple pantry items. I made an amazing tomato basil salad with the dressing. I will be making this dressing again. As another reviewer stated - a little of this dressing goes a long way.

Chuck's Favorite Mac and Cheese

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2008
Yummy! A flavorful mac & cheese and very easy to make. I added a few pressed garlic cloves to spice it up a bit. Next time I will probably omit the bread crumbs out of personal preference.

Lemon Orzo Primavera

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2008
Mmmm - yummy, fast, and easy. I love the tangy flavor resulting from thyme, lemon, and garlic. I did as others recommended and added 2 Tbsp. lemon juice (in addition to zest), I used a little extra broth, and I added the veggies halfway through cooking. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Cornbread Muffins I

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2008
I'm not a big cornbread fan but made this for my mom who is - and it was a great recipe! I used fresh corn shaved from the cob and baked in a 9 X 13 pan rather than making individual muffins. The baking time was approximately the same. Fresh out of the oven the cornbread was delicious, the perfect amount of sweetness. However, I only gave the recipe 4 stars as the next day the cornbread was crumbly and dry.
