Sweet Potato, Carrot, Apple, and Red Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2012

This is wonderful. The flavors are great yet very subtle. I used butternut squash that had already been baked instead of the sweet potato. I put it in for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Like others, I did not puree the soup. I also used sour cream. My husband ate two bowls.

Three Sisters Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2011

Great soup. I used a mixture of chicken broth and water with some chicken bouillon. That was only change. Not that it was necessary. Added some salt to taste. This is not a spicy soup, but it is very flavorful. As much as I love spice, not everything has to be spiced up. This was my first time to make it and there were no leftovers. I will be making this regularly as it is so good, so easy, and even healthy! (I buy the butternut squash fresh but already peeled and cut. I then dice to the size of cubes I want. Big time saver.)

Awesome Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2011

Not good. I tried it with the Stevia Extract in the Raw because I had it on hand. But there is a different Stevia product that I like much better. I may making a pie with that.

Spinach Bars

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2011

A delicious and easy dinner, lunch or breakfast dish. Lots of flavor. Highly recommend this dish. I like how the butter in the pan makes the edges nice and crispy. I'm eating leftovers for lunch right now. I made minor changes. I sauteed the onion, garlic, and mushrooms before adding them to the mix. For those who care about the glycemic index, I also replaced two tablespoons of the floor with Hi-Maize resistant starch.

Mini Crab Cakes with Creamy Picante Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2011

I made this with a can of salmon and panko breadcrumbs. Delicious. I also used lemon juice instead of lime, but next time will try the lime juice. The picante that I used was very hot so I upped the proportion of mayo to picante. I liked this recipe much better than my usual salmon cake recipe and so did my husband.

Rigatoni with Eggplant, Mushrooms and Goat Cheese

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2011

Over the top good! I thought the sauce was good as I was preparing this. But when I tossed the pasta with the sauce and the goat cheese it went from good to great. The goat cheese really added a yummy zing and a little creaminess. I used Chinese eggplant because no need to peel it at all.

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2011

Heaven. I decided this would be dessert tonight. I used sliced almonds and left off the vinegar.

Calabacitas con Elote (Zucchini with Corn)

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2011

I don't normally like zucchini and even I thought this was great. Only because of time constraints, I substituted frozen corn and a small can of green chilies. I had some great home-grown tomatoes on hand so I used those instead of roma. I am sure I would like this even more with fresh corn and a fresh poblano pepper. But this was easy and delicious. My husband loved it.

Garbanzo Bean Tomato Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2011

What a wonderful dinner I just made with this salad as the main dish. This is so easy and perfect for summer. I bought some really tasty home-grown tomatoes and cucumbers at a local market. The only changes I made to the recipe was I used olive oil, two tomatoes and one cucumber. I served this with cheese toast.

Tomato-Cream Sauce for Pasta

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2011

Hard to believe a sauce this good is so easy. Great flavor. I did add a little anchovy paste and a few flakes of red pepper. I use Stevia instead of sugar. But the recipe needs no changes. Love it over small penne pasta. I think the consistency is perfect when made with cream. This makes for a heavenly vegetarian meal.

Vegetarian Cottage Cheese Patties

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2011

I was a little skeptical about this recipe, but the reviews were so good I tried it. This is delicious. I used regular rolled oats as opposed to quick cooking. Because some people felt the recipe was a little salty I used low sodium mushroom soup.

Yellow Squash Patties

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2011

GOOD, good, good and easy, too. And I don't normally like summer squash. I halved the recipe and used both yellow squash and zucchini. I made a horseradish sauce to serve with them. Sour cream, mayo, horseradish, couple of drops of hot sauce, and a teaspoon of sugar. But I also tried putting catchup on my patties and I loved that.

Easy Mashed Potato and Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2011

This was so good. I made a few changes and made about 1/2 the recipe into a layered casserole, but the basic recipe is what made my dinner tonight a big hit. I used cauliflower, mushrooms, red bell pepper, and carrots. I also boiled a potato and lightly mashed it. Roasted veggies and enchilada sauce plus cheese is a great combo!

Cauliflower with Dijon Sauce

Reviewed: May 3, 2011

Delicious. I put it under the broiler for a few minutes after putting the cheese on top. We eat most meals meatless and I'm always looking for new and easy veggie recipes. This is a keeper.

Broccoli and Onion Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2011

I loved this. And it was easy. I used two 12oz steamer bags of broccoli. Cooked them in the microwave. I sliced one large onion and cooked that in the microwave with a couple of teaspoons of butter until tender. Made the sauce as written except added 1 teaspoon of dry mustard and salt and pepper with the flour. The breadcrumbs and cheese made a nice crunchy topping. This all fit into a 7x11 pan. Just because I had some, I sprinkled some sliced and toasted almonds on my serving. I am not a fan of the green bean casserole that is often served at Christmas. I'm bringing this to the next holiday get together.

Vegan Red Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2011

Delicious! My first time to make a curry dish. I used fennel seed for the fenugreek seeds. I also used chicken stock instead of water. I think water might have been better. Will try it that way next time.

Sweet Potato Minestrone

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2011

Delicious and just what I was looking for, a yummy vegetable soup with sweet potatoes. I did add a little sweet chili sauce (Mae Ploy is the kind I like). Just enough for a hint of heat. I also used a small can of tomato juice in place of one cup of the broth because I wanted to use it up. I think the combo of the sweet potatoes and the garlic really makes this soup.

Holuski

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2010

I had never heard of this dish. Glad I tried it. So good! I did what other reviewers suggested and sauteed the cabbage and onion. No steaming. Also added a dollop of sour cream to each serving. I used bow tie pasta because that's what I had. I like this much more than mac and cheese and it's easier, too.

Stuffed Green Peppers

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2010

What a delicious and easy way to serve stuffed peppers. Red bell peppers were on sale so I was looking for a new way to stuff them. I had 2 peppers and cut them in half to stuff as boats. I reduced the other ingredients accordingly. I think the Swiss cheese was a great idea in this recipe. I used a teaspoon of taco seasoning instead of chili powder. I did cover the dish with foil for baking. I liked spooning the heated tomato sauce over the peppers after baking. Thicker sauce that way. I might mix a couple of tablespoons of the tomato sauce into the rice and bean mixture next time but I am not convinced that will make much of a difference. Very tasty, fits our eating plan well, and so easy -- I think this will become a go to recipe for me.
