Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2009
FANTASTIC!! I added some bowtie pasta and black olives per another suggestion and it was a light, but satisfingly refreshing meal!! Takes some time to dice eveything but well worth it as it is requested by friends so often. Add and delete as you wish as it really is a forgiving recipe and one that you will be so Glad you made!!

Smashed Cauliflower

Reviewed: May 9, 2009
Drain the cauliflower of almost all liquid. Three cups broth will not reduce in half that fast and this will be mushy slop. I make my cauliflower just like mashed potatoes. You can add shredded cheese once mashed. Does not even need mlk added. Yummy

Hamburger Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2008
Tasty. This casserole can be tweaked every which way depending on what you like or have on hand. Different kinds of potato, different cheeses, and any veggie.Add whatever seasoning you wish as it does need more seasoning. Good starter recipe.

Easy Caramelized Onion Pork Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2008
Very good. I used two onions and after removing the chops, discarded 1/2 the liquid. Also added,as suggested, sugar to the onions. Sprinkled with garlic powder and left uncovered to carmelize. Will keep in my recipe box as a Goodie

Almond Green Beans

Noone cared for these at all. I made it against my better judgement and it was bland and the texture was not a favorable one.Will not make again.

Vegetable Pasties

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2008
These were not bad,the filling was tasty but I agree with others, a bit dry.I come from Micigan and loved the pasties from the UP. People from all over the country come there just to get one.They are made with beef and suet is added for moisture texture and flavor.The end product is a large delicious meat pie, It is served with a brown gravy and is piping hot.Those Cornish miners from years ago wrapped them up in a warm cloth and put them in a metal container. When they ate them hours later they were still warm.The making of a pastie is a long laborious procedure.On that note I will give a 4 star rating as the filling was tasty..But...I will still make a true pastie once in a while.

Chicken and Dumplings III

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2008
Excellent! Almost as good as my homemade but with a lot less time and effort. I used boneless skinless breasts in lieu of thighs and added 2 stalks finely diced celery and 1/2 large finely diced onion. Cooked together in chicken broth along with garlic powder and 1 can cr. celery and 1 can cr. chicken soup. Added dumplings that I rolled into tiny balls and flour. 8 minutes uncovered and 10 minutes covered. Added chicken and thickened a bit with flour water and parsley flakes. I'll have to double the recipe as never have any leftovers and tastes even better the next day. For the cooks who say it tastes too much like celery, substitute 1 or both cans with cr. of chicken. Comfort food at it's best. Adding frozen peas at end gives it a vibrant and appealing contrast.

Beet, Walnut and Prune Salad

Made this yesterday. Wonderful. Authentic Russian salad does not use prunes so omitted them. However, try adding pomegrante seeds to salad. Superb!!!

Savory Chicken Breasts

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2008
As other users suggested, I added some sour cream to the sauce mixture, used stuffing with melted butter in lieu of the breadcrumbs, and added canned drained mushrooms. Excellent,moist and juicy and a crowd pleaser, What a snap. With alterations I'd give it a 5 star. A keeper.

Sliced onion on bottom and seasoned meat with a pinch of thyme and garlic powder.Added can of pineapple and juice,soy sauce, 1/2 amt. craisins and sprinkled brown sugar over all.Cooked 2 hours on high and 1 hour on low.

No Peek Irish Beef Stew

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2007
Have made this for years. I always used a spicy tomato cocktail drink. Hoppin Tom or spicy V-8 and never used any sugar. Always raves and NEVER any left over. Hardy and delicious and extremely simple. Never had a need to brown meat before hand.Always tender and veggies perfect. NEVER open oven door and peek as heat goes down and takes a long time to raise back up. Just throw in oven and forget it for 5 hours!!

Green Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette

Reviewed: May 22, 2007
Have been making this salad past 4 years and just now finally rating it! The vinaigrette is a masterpiece in it's own and is wonderful on pork, chicken and turkey. When using in the salad, I also add a bit of sugar to calm the tartness. Toasted almonds add a wonderful crunch. I also use crasins as they are available year round and a reliable quality product. Any extra craisins I toss in the salad. Romaine lettuce is my favorite as it is crisp and light. I add a bit more olive oil when using in a salad. Better consistancy. A fantastic recipe that can also be fiddled with for your families taste preferences. Not an ordinary " fruity " dressing!
