Margarita Chicken II

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2008

These was pretty good. Only made a few changes...we added shredded white cheddar and monterey jack cheese. Also, instead of tequila we added some of Jose Cuervo's golden margarita.

Pesto, Goat Cheese, and Sun-dried Tomatoes Quiche

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2008

Good quiche. I used sun-dried tomato basil feta instead of goat cheese. Adding pesto to the quiche was a great idea! Will make again.

Taco Avocado Wraps

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2008

These were really good! It does make a lot of cream cheese/sour cream mixture though...we made 5 wraps and still have lots of it leftover. Great for lunch or a light dinner.

Orecchiette and Broccoli Crisp

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2008

I loved this pasta. I used regular balsamic vinegar and shredded parmesan cheese instead. Skipped the "crisping" step but it was delicious!

Kathy's Baked Stuffed Tomatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2008

The stuffing was good - although I doubled the amount of feta, used fresh spinach, and used a combination of shredded and grated parmesan cheese. Cooked for slightly more than 20 minutes. However, when I took the dish out of the oven there was water in the bottom and the tomatoes were soggy. Hubby wasn't a big fan.

Shrimp and Dill Deviled Eggs

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2008

These were good. I bought shrimp already cooked and diced them as opposed to using canned shrimp. The shrimp adds a nice subtle flavor.

Guacamole Cilantro Lime Cheeseburger

Reviewed: May 31, 2008

Really good burger! We used turkey instead of beef and cut the recipe in half. The guacamole is very refreshing on toasted buns. Served with sangria for a nice summer meal.

Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad

Reviewed: May 28, 2008

Not bad...but I wasn't looking forward to the leftovers and instead found myself wanting to make the next recipe before finishing this off.

Vegetarian Baked Pasta

Reviewed: May 21, 2008

Amazing! Very cheesy - but I love cheese. I used Bertolli's portobello mushroom with merlot sauce. Cooked for 25 minutes and it was perfect! Will definitely make again.

Sausage Apple Quiche

Reviewed: May 12, 2008

This is so delicious! I love quiche and I'm always looking for new recipes - this one is definitely a keeper! I only made a few slight changes: I used 2 chicken apple sausage links instead (6 oz.), shredded asiago cheese instead of swiss, and half of a Granny Smith apple. It took a little longer to bake...I baked it for 20 minutes at 425 degrees then I reduced the temperature to 350 and covered the crust with aluminum foil so the edges wouldn't burn and baked for another 20-30 minutes.

Tater Tot Taco Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2008

Unfortunately, we found this somewhat bland. I think that it would be much better if the tator tots were seasoned. We used ground chicken instead of beef, added onions to the meat, and a layer of refried beans on top of the tator tots. I would've added tomatoes too if I had them. UPDATE: I added guacamole, salt & pepper to the leftovers and left out the sour cream and lettuce and it was much better!

Smothered Mexican Lasagna

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2008

I made several of the changes recommended below...omitted the water, added garlic powder to the ground turkey, mixed 1 can of refried beans with 1 jar of salsa to create more layers in the lasagna, and added a few layers of shredded cheese. However, it was still a little bland and a little too soupy for us. It wasn't bad, but I won't be making it again.

Egg Salad Cheese Spread

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2008

The relish was a bit too overpowering for me - I used shredded Italian 4 cheese blend and I could hardly taste the cheese. I love cheese and was excited to try this, but I prefer more traditional egg salad.

Awesome Eggplant Rollatine

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2008

This recipe is very good - even great the next day! We usually make baked eggplant parmesan because it is healthier, but it was nice to have this treat!

Cheese Sauce Over Cauliflower

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2008

Sauce was very good - I tasted it with 1.5 cups of cheddar and it wasn't quite flavorful enough so I added an extra half cup of cheese and it was just right. However, I steamed one head of cauliflower and ended up with LOTS of leftover sauce - so I'll cut back on everything in the future. The paprika and parsley were the perfect touch.

Asiago Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2008

One of the best pasta dishes that I have ever made! I only made a few changes: omitted the chicken & bacon because we don't eat meat, added an extra clove of garlic, and used 1 cup of shredded Asiago instead of 1 tablespoon. Also, I used sun-dried tomatoes that were packed in oil - no problems with them being chewy. So rich and delicious! I definitely recommend this one.
