This salad is fabulous! I've become known as "the salad girl" among a group of friends that gets together for dinner every few weeks. After looking for a new recipe to mix it up, I made this salad for our last dinner, and we all loved it! The dressing is tangy and really goes well with the cheese. But, for me, it's the contrast between the sweet grapes and tart grapefruit that makes it!

Cinnamon-Curry Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2008

This recipe got me eating tuna again. I love it! I hadn't liked tuna since I was a kid, but now I make this recipe regularly and take it to work either in a sandwich or eat it with salt & pepper soy crisps. My few minor adjustments: 2 tbsp. of fat free mayo and omit the relish.

Chai Cupcakes

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2008

The chai flavor of these cupcakes was great! And, I used vanilla frosting, which was a nice compliment. The only thing about them is that they were VERY moist -- to the point that moisture seeped through the liner. Possibly because of the yogurt? They sank in the center, too, unlike most cupcakes I've made. But, I don't think my friends and I minded too much -- they were gone pretty quickly!

Goat Cheese and Spinach Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2008

This was a great recipe for my dinner for one. I used a little less than a 1/4 lb. of turkey, more spinach and an extra 1/2 t. goat cheese. I added black pepper and formed two small patties and then cooked them in a frying pan, rather than broiling. They were crumbly, so grilling would be a disaster. When they were done, I added sauted red onion and slices of roma tomato. Next time, I'll put them on a piece of crusty sourdough.
