Thai Curry Tofu

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2009
I'm rating this based on a modified version. I added fresh carrots, broccoli and cauliflower towards the end of the simmer time. Other than this, I followed the recipe as directed. This was my first time frying tofu and it stuck to the pan, even with non-stick spray. Once everything was simmering, it looked and smelled wonderful. However, that's where it ended. Although I love curry, this dish was lacking in flavor and while I ate it, it received unfavorable opinions from my family. I won't make it again, sorry.

Nicoise-Style Tuna Salad With White Beans & Olives

Reviewed: May 19, 2009
Excellent salad! Easy to put together, healthy and perfect for lunch or a light supper. What more do you want? Great served with fresh green beans from the garden. Another winner from Pam Anderson!

Easy Batter Fruit Cobbler

Reviewed: May 6, 2009
I have to agree with the other 200+ reviewers that this is a winner. I made mine with fresh blueberries and followed the recipe as written. It was ridiculously quick and easy to put together and baked while we ate dinner. I served it with vanilla frozen yogurt. The only change I made was to decrease the baking time. I'm sure it's just as yummy with other fruits as well. Another fantastic recipe from Pam Anderson!

Perfect Berry Shortcakes

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009
This review is based on a slightly modified version of the shortcakes only. I did not have butter or half-and-half on hand so I substituted equivalent amounts of Smart Balance tub spread and fat free milk. Even with these changes, the shortcakes lived up to their name. The dough was easy to handle and baked into attractive, generously sized cakes with wonderful texture and just enough sweetness. I added sweetened berries and Cool Whip to mine but if I'm feeling decadent one day, I may go with the full monty version as printed here. For now at least, the shortcake recipe is in my permanent file. Thank you, thank you!

Mini Salmon Loaf

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2009
I made this tonight for the first time. My husband, not a seafood person, went back for seconds. That speaks volumes! Since I needed to feed 3, I doubled the recipe using a couple of 6 oz. cans of boneless, skinless salmon. One egg was fine. The only thing I added was a light sprinkling of Old Bay Seasoning but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and I made the dill sauce also. It turned out quite tasty! I served it with couscous and asparagus cuts for an easy, healthy meal. This is going to be a regular for us. Thanks for sharing!

Hearty Breakfast Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2008
This is an excellent recipe as is! I added mini chocolate chips to part of the batter for my chocoholic husband. Why buy prepackaged breakfast cookies when you can make them? Great recipe for adapting too and I can see trying with applesauce, flaxseed meal, wheat germ or dried cranberries for something different. Definitely a keeper in our house!

Blueberry Flax Pancakes

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2008
Excellent recipe! I'd never cooked with flaxseed meal. My family loved the pancakes and my 9 yr. old went back for seconds. While they were cooking, she wasn't crazy about their appearance as they varied slightly from the norm but they passed the taste test with flying colors. Even my husband was saying we should add flaxseed meal to everything. Thanks Freckles, for submitting this healthy recipe that tastes good!

Mama Bear's Porridge

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2008
This is very good! I've eaten oatmeal all my life but never thought to add eggs to it. I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I both enjoyed it but I still can't get my 9 yr. old daughter to eat oatmeal, even when made into "Mama Bear's Porridge". I'll keep trying but for now, this one will be in my file for Papa Bear and me.

Raspberry Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2008
I have to agree with other reviewers that this salad is just fantastic! It's healthy and beautiful with a wonderful blend of flavors and textures, plus it was a good excuse to add a new vinegar to my collection. The only downside is that fresh raspberries are pricey here in FL, unless you hit a good sale during the summer.

Chicken and Broccoli Braid

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2008
Why have I just now discovered this? It's easy to make, looks great, tastes wonderful. How can you go wrong? I had a rotisserie chicken and a couple of cans of crescent rolls on hand and this was a delicious way to use them! The only thing I did was use roasted red pepper and I left out the almonds. Yum! I want to make this for my in-laws when they come to visit.

Apricot-Glaze Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2008
I appreciate a good apricot chicken recipe but this isn't one of those. My husband gave it 2 stars and I had to agree. This dish had an odd flavor and it's looks were unappealing. There are much better uses for chicken breast. Sorry, won't make this again.

Broiled Grouper Parmesan

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2008
Excellent recipe! Similar to a tilapia recipe I got from this site. Probably good with any mild white fish. My family enjoyed it.

Orzo with Parmesan and Basil

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2008
Outstanding side dish! I went a little nuts with the fresh basil but other than that, this dish has great flavor. I served it with a broiled grouper recipe from allrecipes and it was excellent. My husband and daughter enjoyed it and I will be making it again!

Biscotti

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2008
Best biscotti I've made! I love anise so I followed the recipe exactly. I drizzled some with white chocolate and left the others plain. They're perfect! My daughter and I tucked them into "end of the year" gift bags with tea and cocoa packets for her teachers. Thanks Jandee, for this easy, foolproof recipe!

Mindy's Macaroni Salad

Reviewed: May 27, 2008
Very good salad! I had a hankering for mac salad on Memorial Day(something about patriotic holidays, I guess!) and this satisfied it quite nicely. I gave it 4 stars because I had to change 2 small things: reduced the amount of sugar and substituted some chopped green olives for the pimento since I didn't have any on hand. There seemed to be a lot of dressing but the pasta really soaked it up. It also met approval with my husband and 8 yr. old. Will make again!

Juicy Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: May 22, 2008
Yum! I had to substitute butter because I didn't have margarine but otherwise, I followed the recipe. Prepared this way, the chicken really does turn out juicy and flavorful with a minimum of fuss. I served it with Glazed Dijon Carrots (from Allrecipes), rolls and buttered egg noodles with snipped fresh basil for a delicious dinner. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Apricot Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar

Reviewed: May 12, 2008
We love this! I made it for supper this evening with rice and steamed broccoli. My husband had seconds. As one reviewer mentioned, it's a wonderful blend of sweet and savory. While it simmers, you can prep quick side dishes so everything is ready at the same time. Great weeknight entree. This is definitely a keeper for us. Thanks for sharing!

Basil Chicken over Angel Hair

Reviewed: May 8, 2008
I made this for supper tonight as I had all the ingredients on hand, including fresh basil. I made the recipe exactly as written and sprinkled each dish with freshly grated Parmesan. My husband and 8 yr. old daughter enjoyed it, in fact, my daughter declared it "delicious" and had seconds. I liked it but was surprised at the lack of basil flavor. I wonder if a touch of pesto would kick it up a notch. I will make this again though, because we'll have plenty of tomatoes from our bushes soon and I love pasta dishes featuring fresh ingredients.

Seafood Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2008
This is refreshing and delicious, just how seafood salad should taste. It goes together quickly, with minimal effort and makes a great lunch or light supper. Perfect for those warm days when you don't want to fuss in the kitchen. Here in FL, that's more often than not!
