Banana Pudding II

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2009
This is really good. I didn't use a double boiler. I just used a normal pot with a thick, even heat distribution bottom and whisked continuously until thickened (5-10 minutes). I did not use butter or vanilla (forgot) and it was still really wonderful. I only used 2 bananas. Loved it warm with the vanilla wafer cookies. Will definitely make again. Super easy.

Lemon-Lime Soda Gelatin Salad

Reviewed: May 29, 2009
I used sugar free strawberry jello and chopped 2 peaches and a handful of strawberries. I added the standard 8 oz pack of cream cheese and 1 cup boiling water and stirred it all together. Then I added 8 oz of cream soda. We'll wait for it to set up and see what happens!

Easy Taco Casserole

Reviewed: May 5, 2009
This is good. I sauteed one onion in a little oil, then browned lean diet beef in the onion, drained oil, added 1 taco seasoning packet and water. Then I added the mayo tasted it and added chile powder and adobo to taste. I added layers of refried beans and of a mixture of 1/2 pack cream cheese and 1/2 cup sour cream. I used only 1 cup of grated cheese. I did not put the lettuce and tomatoes in the casserole, but put them on the side so that I could reheat it easily. I also served it with the "Asparagus Guacamole" recipe from this website. Great easy meal!

Asparagus Guacamole

Reviewed: May 5, 2009
This is great! I will definitely make this again. I used 12 oz. frozen asparagus, no green onions, and a generous amount of Adobo (salt/white pepper/oregano seasoning). but I think I will be a little more conservative with the garlic next time. Maybe press only 1 clove, then taste and add another if needed. Its really a very good substitute for guacamole. Ole! Yume!

Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2008
Wow, this is great. I didn't miss the meat at all. I used walnuts instead of pecans, white japanese rice instead of brown, and shredded parm instead of grated. I cooked the diced tofu in the sauce, but also cooked the cranberries, and nuts in the sauce. I added green onions and diced tomatoes to the stuffing mix as it cooked in the sauce. Afterward, I stirred in white rice and shredded parmesean. Instead of using tomato sauce, I pureed more of the diced tomatoes in a food processor and spooned them on top. I sprinkled w/ shredded parmesean on top before baking. I found there was no need to wait for the stuffing mix to cool before loading up the microwaved peppers. They were great and easy! I served them with sesame green beans and peanut butter noodles. Everyone loved it! No one missed meat.

Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2008
Awesome! I love it. Its like Pad Thai only easy! I used 2 teaspoons of chili paste and it was perfect! I may add lime and bean sprouts next time. I might mix in the green onions and chopped peanuts to make sure they don't all fall to the bottom. But the recipe is excellent as is. LOVE IT!

Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2008
I really like this. I marinated it for much longer than required (a few hours). It may even benefit more from an overnight marinade. I made it in an electric grill bottom skillet. It was maybe too oily and I will try using less oil next time. Also, I used 1/2 recommended amount rosemary because substituted dry rosemary for fresh. I think I will use a whole Tablespoon next time and grind or crush it better first. Its a very tastey sauce. I agree that it is a good sauce on rice.

Seven Layer Taco Dip

Reviewed: May 23, 2008
This is really good. I added a layer of ground beef with taco seasoning and a layer of "guacamole" dip from the dairy case at the store. It would be better with real guacamole, but it was still really good. I put the cheese, green onions and black olives on top to garnish. I will make this one again!

Wheat Germ Whole-Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

Reviewed: May 22, 2008
The first time I made these, I used a thick unsweetened plain yogurt instead of milk, and white flour instead of wheat pastry flour. I added 1 teaspoon baking powder. They turned out very thick and indulgent! I ate them with bananas and walnuts, a little maple syrup and dollups of spray whipped cream. They were great! However, the second time I made these, I used 1 c. runny sweetened yogurt and 1. cup milk, and whole wheat pastry flour. I added 1 teaspoon baking powder. The pancakes turned out very runny and flat, almost like crepes. They were soggy and didn't crisp on the top and bottom. If I make these again, I'll either go back to thick yogurt and try the wheat flour to see, or I will reduce the milk/dairy in half and maybe use yogurt. We'll have to keep tweaking this, because they do not rise or work well as written. (and yes, my baking powder and soda were new and fresh).

Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2007
Awesome recipe! I only had dry herbs and no dried cranberries and it still turned out great. I used chicken hearts and gizzards (1/2 pound) and I baked the stuffing at 350 for 1 hour. It was perfect not too soggy just as written! I had never made stuffing before but it was great!

Strawberry-Banana-Peanut Butter Smoothie

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2007
Sorry! You should put 1-2 T peanut butter and 4-5 strawberries per taste, depending on size. You want to fill the bottom of the blender with strawberries, however many that takes. If you use frozen strawberries, you will need to thin out the smoothie with a little bit of milk or soy milk. Hope this helps!

Chicken Wild Rice Soup I

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2007
This is a great tasting soup! I did it in a crockpot without any of the extra steps. Chicken and roux and rice were all raw. Just combined everything, set it on low and walked away. I added the cream/milk just before serving. It still turned out great and was super easy! Recipe survives well with substitutes or omissions: oil instead of butter, milk instead of cream, no mushrooms, etc. I used the food processor to chop all of the veggies fast and easy. Great recipe.

Glazed Meatloaf I

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2007
I thought it was good and tasted traditional, but the sauce was too sweet for my husband. I will make it again with less sugar in the glaze.

Balsamic Glazed Carrots

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2007
I really liked this but my husband thought it was too much vinegar. Instead of using whole baby carrots, to shorten the cooking time I julliened carrots, so they only needed 7 minutes.

Pumpkin-Pecan Cake Roll

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2006
This was great! Even clumsy me could make a beautiful roll! I followed reviews and gently folded in dry ingredients to prevent over-mixing. Next time I will grease and lightly flour the wax paper. Its really important to chill the cake. Refridgerate over night for best results! Next time I will add a little lemon or orange zest to freshen it up. Great cake! Beautiful presentation!

New Red Potato Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2006
I love potato salad but never knew how to make it. This is my first one and it turned out so great! Per other reviews, I used mustard instead of milk and doubled the eggs, and made dressing in a separate bowl before pouring over. Its great!

Cranberry Sauce Extraordinaire

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2006
Use Food Processor! So much easier!!! I put fruits and nuts one at a time in food processor then after cooking processed again to get that pretty red color back. I added an extra orange and used dried apricots which threw off the color but cut the tart flavor and were FABULOUS! The pecans make this absolutely irresistable. Serving suggestion: on bagel, toast or crackers with cream cheese! Its awesome!
