This was a good rice dish. It was my first attempt at risotto and somehow, I was expecting something more unique. I'll try reducing the power. I cooked at 100% power the whole time, but reduced the time I cooked it by about 5 minutes (for the second 9 minutes). I used 1 can of low sodium chicken broth, and one boullion cube and it wasn't too salty. I covered it with waxed paper and it didn't make much of a mess. I'd try cooking at a lower power next time as my onions also burned a little, but not so much to ruin the dish.

Santa Fe Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2006

This was a great salad. I think we'd enjoy it next time with the addition of black beans or white beans. The dressing was delicious and easy!

Bruschetta Pasta With Seasoned Bocconcini

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2006

Fabulous! This is a wonderful pasta for summertime. I made it exactly like the recipe, except that I forgot the basil. I thought it might be too peppery, but it was fine for me. I'll definitely be making this again and again!

Fabulous Fajitas

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2006

I tripled this and made enough to feed 18 people. I used 9 chicken breasts, and that was way too much. 6 would be better - though I must say that the leftovers were eaten up quickly! This was easy and well liked by everyone. I also provided guacamole as a topping.

Almond Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2006

This was a yummy salad. The cilantro really added to it. We ate it on sandwich bread the first night, but loved it leftover wrapped in a flour tortilla with a bit of teriyaki sauce.

Brooklyn Girl's Penne Arrabiata

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2006

This was delicious and our whole family enjoyed it. My 12 year old daughter chose this recipe, and prepared it for us with just a bit of help. We cut the red pepper flakes in half and it was still flavorful.

Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2006

This was simple and delicious too! I didn't want the hassle of rolling the tortillas, so I just quartered the tortillas and put half on the bottom, then half after the chicken layer. They were fabulous and I'll definitely make them again!

Spicy Polynesian Wrap

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2006

Didn't care for this as it was. The rice fell out of the wrap, and I should have listened to other reviewers who suggested a sauce. I might try mixing the rice with a thick teriyaki sauce and maybe both my problems would be solved.

Baked Apple-Pecan Maple Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2006

This was OK. I agree with the other reviewers that said it was too dry. But even more than that, it wasn't sweet enough. I used real maple syrup, so maybe that was the difference. Next time I would add about 1/4 cup sugar.

Carrie's Artichoke and Sun-dried Tomato Pasta

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2006

We liked this recipe, but it would have been better if the "sauce" wasn't so watery. Next time I might add some marinara sauce, as one reviewer suggested, and maybe use half the wine.

Best Macaroni Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2006

This was very good macaroni salad, but wasn't quite five stars for me. I probably doubled the ham I put in it, and next time I'd double the cucumber as well. We did enjoy it - just didn't stand out for me.

Cinnamon Bread II

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2006

Mmmmmm - this smelled heavenly as it baked. My bread machine doesn't have a "sweet" bread cycle, so I used the regular - but "quick" cycle and it turned out fine. It did rise up almost to the top of the machine. I used it to make a french toast casserole.

Amber's Sesame Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2006

Very good. I omitted the red pepper flakes to try to please the whole family, but I will definitely try it with the red pepper flakes next time. It went together very quickly.

Lemon Herb Barbeque Sauce for Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2006

Delicious recipe. It is similar to one our friends used to make - but it was "secret". A nice change from a tomato based BBQ chicken.

Rolled Tacos

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2006

I gave this five stars because it was surprisingly good for such a simple recipe. We added sour cream and salsa as toppings. Will make again for sure.

Easy Ham and Cheese Appetizer Sandwiches

Reviewed: May 29, 2006

These are delicious and easy to put together. I initially made only half the number of sandwiches it makes, so I have been making the sandwiches one or two at a time now and microwave them. They are delicious!

Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp and Basil

Reviewed: May 29, 2006

This was a huge hit even though I didn't read the directions correctly. I didn't saute the shrimp, but rather simmered them in the tomatoes until done. It was still wonderful. I also added about 1/3 cup of home made pesto in place of the basil, and omitted the parmesan cheese, since it was in the pesto. YUM!

Sweet Party Mix

Reviewed: May 23, 2006

This is definitely addictive! I followed another reviewers suggestion and added m-n-m's. I also used honey roasted peanuts in place of the other nuts. In any case, the "glaze" is marvelous and whatever you add to it - you can't go wrong with this one!

Satay Chicken Pizza

Reviewed: May 23, 2006

This gets five stars from me because it is so easy to make, and the results are delicious! I used whole wheat pitas to add some fiber. This will be a regular at my house!
