Pizza Crust I

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2009
This crust is perfect! It's light and fluffy and browned perfectly. If you're looking for just a plain pizza dough, this is it.

Chicken Biryani, Hyderabadi Style

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009
This sounds so good, but I was really disappointed at the fact that it had so many good tasting ingredients but such a lack of flavor. I don't understand how this turned out to be so bland, and I don't think I'll make it again.

Split Pea and Ham Soup I

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
This was pretty good. I added 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard for extra flavor. You know how you can add baking soda to beans while their cooking to cut down the gassiness? Yeah, DON'T DO THAT WITH THIS RECIPE. It didn't really change the flavor, it just made a huge mess on my stove because it caused it to keep boiling over. Other than the mess, it was good. It would make a good winter soup.

Drunken Winter Stew

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009
This was very tasty. I was craving some soup with cabbage and this recipe hit the spot. I used great Northern beans instead of kidney beans, but I think it would be just as good with kidney beans. I used a bottle of Newcastle Brown beer, and I added the Dijon mustard, but it was still kind of bland so I added about 2 tablespoons of pretty strong horseradish mustard, and that gave it a little kick. I also added another teaspoon of garlic powder. This is a good winter soup recipe. Thanks!

Wild Rice Cranberry Pecan Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009
Would be good with less/no orange. Yuck. Also a little too oily. Nathan loved it.

Hungarian Goulash II

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009
This would have been good but it was so salty that I almost couldn't eat it! I will try making it again, because aside from the saltiness, it tasted pretty good. But next time, I'm omitting the salt and will probably add more sugar and use tomato sauce instead of ketchup. It wasn't very saucy and turned out a bit dry...

Honey Coconut Salmon

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009
This is tasty! The best parts are the edges where the sugars have caramelized. I cut the butter down to 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons), used 1/2 cup of honey, and didn't change the other ingredients. I'm making it that way from now on. Hubby loved it. I served it with coconut jasmine rice and steamed green beans.

Curry Pumpkin Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2009
This is pretty good. It's not something I would like to eat very often, though. I made it for dinner and then had leftovers for lunch and I got tired of eating it. I added some ginger and cinnamon to brighten the flavor a bit.

Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009
Sorry but this was kind of bland. Wasn't crazy about it. It sounded good, but it doesn't have much of a sauce...it was too runny. Probably won't make again.

Salmon Cakes

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2009
4 1/2 stars It's a pain in the butt but the taste is awesome. The cakes are creamy and not too fishy. Might want to halve this recipe. When mixing patty mixture, if it is too wet, gradually add breadcrumbs until it holds together well. Add 1 T chives to mixture.

Excellent and Healthy Cornbread

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009
Fantastic! Very easy and very tasty. I was worried about it not tasting much like regular cornbread since it's got yogurt in it, but it's great! And moist and chewy. Goes really well with the Ham and Beans recipe. Thanks very much!

Ham and Beans

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009
These are fantastic! I'm from Arkansas and never made ham and beans before. I love finding good simple recipes that don't need embellishment and this is one of them. I used 1/3 cup brown sugar after reading reviews. My husband said it was a little too sweet but I thought it was perfect. I'll try it with just 1/4 cup next time. And I took a suggestion and added 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to get rid of the gassiness. Next time, I'll also cook them uncovered. I had too much water left when they were done, but I drained it off and they were still fantastic. I served this dish with mustard greens, cornbread and black-eyed peas. This is a wonderful southern staple!

Greens with Cannellini Beans and Pancetta

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2009
Awesome! My husband INHALED this! He said it reminded him of his grandma's cooking (she's very southern and used to make him collard greens, white beans and ham). I couldn't find beet greens, so I used 2 bunches of kale. I also used 5 slices of pancetta since I can only find the paper-thin stuff. I also added some fresh ground pepper. Excellent for a light and healthy dinner. Thanks very much!

Alicia's Aloo Gobi

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009
This is good. And SPICY! I cut way back on the pepper, but there's still so much other spice that it'll slap you in the face! I added a little extra garlic, some curry powder, and used fingerling potatoes since I couldn't find Yukon gold for some reason. I served it with coconut basmati rice and chai. Thanks for the keeper! I didn't even realize it was vegan. =)
