Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009
I added white and black pepper, used g and o powders instead of salts, and 2 t. seasoned salt instead of plain. This will be great for cheese fries.

Curtido (El Salvadoran Cabbage Salad)

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2009
I skipped the oregano and added a minced jalapeno. The kids didn't touch it but that just left more for me. Have been eating the leftovers on bean burritos and think I can say this is my favorite "slaw" type salad ever.

Pupusas de Queso (Cheese-Stuffed Tortillas)

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009
I'm not sure about the proportions of masa to water. I added more water and they were still too dry so I dumped leftover cheese on top. Probably just takes making this a few times to get the right feel of the dough, more by feel, less by measure. Kids liked it and I look forward to"making it mine". Used black beans and jack for the trial run.

Real Homemade Tamales

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
I used the reduced liquid from cooking my pork instead of the beef broth. I thought I'd failed this miserably because after the steam time they were mushy. I opened some up and chopped and "cooked" them in a fry pan and called it tamale hash. Tasty but not too visual. I tossed the rest in the fridge to deal with later. Next day I took them out to play with and they were perfect. Think maybe I just had too much water in the steamer.

French Fried Potatoes

Can't say I noticed a difference with the sugar but maybe next time I'll do a side by side.

Feta-Stuffed Hamburgers

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
I usually add my spices to about 1/4 cup of red wine then let it sit before pouring over the ground meat and mixing with 2 forks. This worked well with the feta. I added hickory chips to the charcoal which really added to the overall taste.

Light Wheat Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
I use this one more than any other roll recipe. I back out some ww flour, maybe 1/4 cup, and add wheat bran. I never spiral, usually divide then cut each into 4 pieces before putting into muffin cups.

Classic Greek Spinach

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009
I expected we'd like it but was surprised how much, especially with the feta on top. Reduced evoo to maybe 1/4 to 1/3ish cup and used just 2 cups of water. Makes a lot and we had leftover. Just had some for breaky with fried eggs on the side and decided to try making the rest into a pie/quiche.

Nutty Apple Crisp

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009
I doubled the oats and reduced butter by 2 T. but found mine was wanting for a bit more apples. Wouldn't enjoy a crisp near as much without the nuts. Fought the urge to drizzle the apples with maple syrup, next time for sure.

Beefy Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009
Good just after making but better after sitting in fridge a few days. I used Kitchen Basics Beef Stock, swapped peas for the green beans and used fresh corn. Cooked about half a cup of orzo in the soup then added the shells which were cooked out of the soup. Added a bag of frozen chopped spinach, a can of Ranch Style beans, and a little browning sauce to punch up the color. Great way to clean out the pantry, fridge and freezer.

Cajun Corn and Bacon Maque Choux

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009
This was noisy, the kids were digging into their ramekins to get every last bit. I used red peppers and canned corn. Can only be better with fresh. Perfect side with Johnsonville Hot N Spicy (Cajun) Brats topped with Sauerkraut Hot Dog Topping.

Fiesta Pear Dessert

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2009
I opted to bake instead of fry the tortillas. Basted with butter then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, only did the outside, will do both sides next time. I was inattentive and that, along with my my moodily hot oven, resulted in shells that got a bit dark and overdone but this was still a nice and different treat. I used chocolate ice cream, scooped, rolled in the nut mix, then put them back in the freezer till ready to serve. The little bit of that mix leftover got dumped on top. Drizzled with a bit of Hershey's Special Dark syrup because I wanted something chocolate with it but was too lazy to make the ganache I really wanted.

Southwestern Egg Rolls

I left out the chicken this time and added in a bit of leftover rice, cilantro instead of parsley. Brushed with a tiny bit of butter then rolled and baked in convection oven.

Spicy Italian Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2009
I added a few shakes of red pepper flakes to *spice* it up. I scaled and subbed and ended up using less evoo because I was out, and added a bit of water to spread things adequately over the artichokes. Worked out perfect for me, the salad was neither drippy nor oily, lite yet perfectly flavored. I squashed the health factor by topping with some leftover fried chicken breast strips.

Tomato Spinach and Basil Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2009
I scaled by half and used (3) fresh tomatoes so I added about 1 T of double tomato paste. I used up 1/4 cup whipping cream for part of the milk, won't be doing that again. Might even sub the milk for some veggie broth next time.

Grilled Mahi Mahi with Roasted Pepper Sauce and Cilantro Pesto

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2009
Sometimes I actually put the fish between the awesome sauce and the FANTASTIC pesto. Leftover sauce gets tossed with pasta and more cheese and the leftover pesto gets spread on lightly toasted bread. Another easy meal. Divine.

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2009
I used homemade beans, raw red onions, and some leftover (corn off the cob) cream corn like no other instead of the corn and sugar. Added cilantro and kept salsa on the side with some sour cream. Also served leftover beef fajita quesadillas with the leftover peppers and onions. Kiddo liked the black bean and corn better.
