These are great! I used fresh dill and one garlic clove instead of dried/powder, and baked on a pan with little holes in it to aid with the goal of crispiness. 10m was perfect. They even convinced the early-to-bed husband to get back up for another half hr! Another batch is in the oven now; this time I added a bit of cayenne. Great quick snack - this will become a staple I'm sure.

Made this for our Oscar Party and called it "Vicki Cristina Basil Tomato Bruschetta" for Vicki Cristina Barcelona. Was DELICIOUS! I eyeballed the ingredients a bit, as I only had 4 roma tomatoes. And be forewarned: a little balsamic vinegar goes a long way, esp if it's high quality. I also added capers. Served in a bowl alongside a plate of toasted italian bread with fresh mozzarella on the side meant easier prep and less likelihood of soggy bread. Guests gobbled it up.

Made this with vegetarian "chicken" (worthington canned) and a layer of rice, and found it quite tasty. Per other reviewers, I added a cup of milk rather than mayonnaise but stuck to the one can of cream of mushroom soup. Added sauteed onion, bell pepper, celery leaves, and garlic, along with a teaspoon each dried oregano, thyme, and paprika to boost the flavor. Topped with crunched Ritz crackers and grated sharp cheddar. YUM! Note: the use of frozen chopped broccoli meant there were occasional bits of peeling that truly detracted, but overall this was a nice comforting dish.

Guests thought the pineapple was crab - lol, since we're vegetarians. Per other reviewers, I added grated sharp cheddar for texture and flavor, and minced jalapeno to give it a kick. Red bell pepper instead of green made it pretty. Had this at our Oscar Party and named it Cheesy Balls for Mickey Rourke in the Wrestler. Half the recipe made two rather large balls. :)

Made this with "fake" chicken, Worthington's canned meatfree chicken, and a mozzarella/provolone cheese mix instead of monterey jack and it was still DELICIOUS. Made more sauce than called for (adding another T of flour and a cup of water in addition to a full cup of wine and a cup of the juice from the canned "chicken"). Topped with panko bread crumbs instead of more cheese. Was salty so shouldn't add salt to flour/batter. Added minced celery to mushroom mix rather than celery salt later, and used oyster mushrooms. Served steamed broccoli on the side and might add that to the casserole next time. YUM!

Used cooking sherry instead of wine (thanks Molly111) and subsituted water, thyme, salt and pepper for the ck broth to keep it vegetarian. Stirred in a bit of cornstarch for thickening, about a tablespoon of lemon juice to perk it up, and topped with steamed asparagus. DELICIOUS!

Great summer recipe. Nuked fresh corn off the cob for just a minute, added marjoram, and used bowtie pasta. Don't understand calling for dried herbs, though, when giving a recipe for fresh tomatoes and corn. The parmesan was good, but it really wasn't even needed. The fresh tomatoes and corn really shine in this quick summer feast.

Used regular cucumbers and minced vidalia onion instead of the english cuke and shallots (locally grown produce is ALWAYS best), and didn't measure exactly for any of the ingredients, and this was FABULOUS. Who knew that this simple recipe could be so tasty? The better your ingredients, the better your final dish, so I'd advise using a really good gelatin-free yogurt with live active cultures, like Stonyfield Farm. We licked the dish on this one. Thanks!

Delicious. Made the risotto in the pressure cooker to save time and energy (toast the rice in a bit of oil, lock lid, raise temp and bring to pressure, then lower heat to keep just at high pressure, cook 6 minutes, quick release). Also used vegetarian chicken broth and dried rather than fresh herbs since it's winter. I used a dash of tarragon, about a T of parsley, and maybe a half teaspoon of thyme. Tastes fantastic - good recipe, thanks!

Made this tonight using others' suggestions and it was good. But mostly it was easy. I used fresh peaches with white sugar and cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with white cake mix with brown sugar and a grated stick of frozen butter (thanks 4 that tip!). My 9x13 pan was otherwise occupied, so I put it in an 8x10, and I definitely think the larger pan would've made it better. And I would suggest cutting the sugar a bit. Couldn't be easier, though. This'll likely become a summer staple.

These are fantastic! As a vegetarian in Baltimore, let me just say that I don't care if they taste just like crab or not: they taste delicious and took care of my crab cravings! I did add a bit more Old Bay and onion than the recipe called for, and used unsalted butter to counteract the sodium in the seasoning. I also salted the zucchini as others suggested. After salting and letting it sit for about 20 minutes, I put it in a fine mesh strainer, rinsed off the salt, and pressed the liquids out - it reminded me of draining frozen spinach. Used bought seasoned breadcrumbs and didn't have any problem making patties. Next time I'll try broiling them. THANK YOU Connie! YUM!

Even after 24 hrs this "dough" was still wet, sticky, and inedible. After crushing and adding an ADDITIONAL box of wafers, they were fine. Seriously: how did these work out for so many other cooks? Other coconut rum ball recipes include an entire box of confectioners sugar. That would have fixed the consistency, but really: they were YUMMY and less sweet w/double the wafers instead. My suggestion: make them with extra wafers and sugar on hand, and far enough ahead of schedule to tinker with this recipe. With all good ingredients and no baking, these will end up fine if you can achieve the proper consistency. But this recipe, as written, did not work for me.

I've used this recipe for years, and it's always a hit. I use yogurt instead of sour cream, and just add maybe 1/2 cup of mayo to cut the sour bite of the yogurt. When I have made this dip with sour cream, I've found the mayo completely unnecessary. But I'd never omit the water chestnuts - they make this dip addictive.

DELICIOUS! I had beech mushrooms fresh from the farmer’s market and was looking for a healthy dish for them. Most of the mushroom recipes on here include meat or are filled with cream soup/cheeses. I added a diced sweet potato, sauteeing it a bit first, and then followed the recipe as written. I did use quick cooking barley and cut the broth to 1 cup to accommodate. And I salted and peppered and added some cayenne for a bit of heat. Don’t overcook the veggy base, though: it can become too mushy if you do. Thanks for a great healthy dinner!

Tasty and satisfying dish - and without a cream sauce! The almonds add a great touch. Definitely do NOT mix in an entire lb of pasta - about 12 ounces means you'll have enough sauce. I used frozen onion and peppers (tri-color rather than just red), along with frozen broccoli and I added cauliflower. This might be better with fresh veggies, but it was delicious with frozen! I'll definitely make this one again. Thanks!

Guests raved; but DON'T SKIP the step where you wrap foil around the pan! We did and at midnight the night before a party we were up cleaning a layer of burned sugar out of our oven!!! Can't imagine how good this will taste with ALL of that sugar on top, because even with only half it was scrumptious. And beautiful!
