Jicama, Carrot, and Green Apple Slaw

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

I experimented with this a bit more and I found that the addition of lemon flavored olive oil, shredded mint, shredded basil, a minced red chili pepper and more black pepper really livened it up. Give it a try with these alterations!

Tropical Ice Cream Sandwiches

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2009

I'm not sure why this is showing up with only three stars when I have a five star review, but I made this for the fourth of july and it was a hit again! If you don't want to do sandwiches, you can fill the center of an angel food cake with the icecream and top with the coconut fruit mixture, seriously gorgeous and delicious!

Sunchoke and Sausage Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2009

This really is one of my favorites. Hate to rate my own recipe but sunchokes are totally underrated. I just made this again the other day and EVERYONE loved it. So unusual around here with all the rabid meat eaters!

Hot German Potato Salad III

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2009

The only substitutions I would make would be to use cider vinegar, add dried garlic, onion powder, paprika, dill weed, and any other seasonings you see fit (you can even use a really good seasoning salt). I cooked the onion in some of the bacon fat and cubed the potato into a 1/2 inch dice. The bacon should be added last with chopped green onion. You can cook the onion in the bacon fat and then add the flour to it with chicken broth to give it flavor and moisture. Overall great starter recipe.

Posole Soup

Reviewed: May 12, 2009

needs more flavor. Not very authentic. Add lime wedges on the side with cilantro, chopped cactus, cotija cheese, pureed chili sauce and onion for more flavor. We simmer whole garlic heads in our base.

Greek Saganaki

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2009

you need to use a harder cheese. The best saganaki I've had was made with Kasseri, mizithra and halloumi worked well also. We make it with cognac poured over the sizzling cheese and lit on fire. Extinguish with fresh lemon juice. We serve this with fresh pita bread and olives. The flour isn't necessary if the pan is hot enough and the cheese is hard.

Scalloped Potatoes and Onions

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2009

This was a little bland. I made just a few minor adjustments. Instead of broth I used powdered boullion and water. I added garlic powder, parsley and extra paprika to the dish. I sauteed the onion in sweet cream butter, added the flour and boullion and let that cook for about 3 minutes on my stove top. I added the spices to the flour mixture and then added the potatoes to the pan. I coated the potatoes in the sauce and then transferred to a baking dish. It turned out wonderfully. Additional salt is also necessary depending on your tastes

Jeanie's Falafel

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2008

this is a great recipe! If you guys want quick, semi homemade falafel that takes about 20 minutes to make from start to finish.. buy a box of falafel mix from an ethnic food store and mix it with a can of mashed chickpeas, extra dried parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper and you have an easy, edible, quick take on a traditional favorite.

Fudge

this turned out beautifully! I actually used 1/2 semi sweet and 1/2 milk chocolate chips and doubled the recipe. This is going to be a huge hit today! Thank you for sharing

Chicken and Potato Parcels

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2007

Thank you all for the positive feed back! You are right, you are supposed to use your favorite bbq sauce. the sauce I use is actually reduced sugar (I know because I make it my self) and reduced sodium. Make your own and you can control the spices and ingredients that go into it!
