Herbed Greek Roasted Potatoes with Feta Cheese

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2009
5 stars from each and every one of us! I made this as written except that I cut the potatoes smaller, substituted chicken broth for the water and marinaded the potatoes to include the herbs. These were done in about an hour at 410. Delicious and a big hit with the whole family. I served with my "Mediterranean" style turkey meatloaf and it made for the perfect dinner! Thank you, Cyndi, for sharing an outstanding side dish!

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2009
This was an easy and lovely marinade. I found out, however, that I am not a fan of mahi mahi (not your fault and not factored into my review/rating). Fortunately I had the foresight to have marinaded some tilapia filets also. The marinade worked well with the delicate fish. I will definitely use the marinade with other seafood favorites. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Stacey's Fabulous Purple Potato Gratin

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2009
I found this recipe and was intrigued. I decided to make this with ingredients I had on hand: Idaho rather than purple potatoes, Feta rather than Goat Cheese, and Green Onion rather than leaks. I felt these were minor modifications and am pleased to report that this lived up to its name...it is indeed FABULOUS. I was concerned about the lack of herbs and seasonings but it was perfect as written. I did top with fresh chives, from my garden, so that I could take a "pretty" picture. Thanks for this recipe as it is a keeper.

Carolina Country Style Ribs

Reviewed: May 26, 2009
This was a very easy and tasty recipe. I doubled the marinade and had enough to make over 6 lbs. of ribs with plenty of leftover sauce. I placed the leftover meat in my food processor and added additional sauce for a wonderfully delicious pulled pork!

Cheddar Artichoke Quiche Cups

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009
EDIT: I was going through my old reviews and realized that I did not review your recipe fairly. I tried it again EXACTLY as written and was pleased with the results. I still think that the next time I make this I may add some jalepenos or green chiles. casserole. Thanks for sharing.

Scalloped Potatoes and Onions

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2009
I have never made scalloped potatoes before. However, last evening the mood struck when I found this recipe. I made exactly as written (no substitutions or tweaking as is my usual MO). They were very tasty and tender. My family enjoyed them, too. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you.

Pear and Blue Cheese Pastry Triangles

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2009
I chose to make this appetizer because I LOVE blue cheese, I LOVE pears and I most especially LOVE carmelized onions. I made this exactly as written except using premade phyllo cups. I'm glad I did as it was a time saver. The filling was enough to fill 45 cups with some pear left over. They smelled so good when I took them out of the oven. Unfortunately, the teaspoon of blue cheese per pastry was a bit heavy handed. I liked them okay, but they were not the hit of my party as I had hoped they would be. :(

Chicken Potato Bake

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2009
Having been sick with the flu for the past week, I needed something that was easy, quick and nutritious for the family. This recipe certainly did the trick. I used bonesless, skinless chicken breasts. Because of that, the cook time was not near that of the original recipe. Only complaint from family was that it tasted too much like Italian dressing. Next time I will halve the amount called for It was a tasty and easy recipe. This will definitely go into my rotation.

Greek Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2008
A 5 star recipe! The kids cleaned their plates, hubby was full of compliments and everyone enjoyed this tasty version of chicken. I only wish I knew an easy way to pound down chicken without making a complete mess of things, though. When I sliced through the chicken, however, I had beautiful pinwheels! I served with steamed green beans and rice. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for submitting.

Butter Icing for Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2008
A very, very difficult icing to work with when following the recipe exactly. I then heeded other reviewers advice. Despite continuous stirring and leaving over low heat, the icing just crumbled when I attempted to spread it on my snowflake cookies. I ended up adding about 1/4 cup or more of cream and using the icing as a glaze. I then dipped my cookies or drizzled icing over the top. Although flavorful, I will not make again.

Bread Machine Pumpernickel Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2008
I don't know what went wrong. I made this bread exactly as written using the "optional" ingredients. My husband felt it had too much of a "rye" flavor but I think it's the caraway seeds that were too much (and I am a fan of caraway). It's an okay bread...made for decent toast but as a sandwich bread it was disappointing. I really wanted to love it based on all the wonderful reviews.

Dakota's Texas Style Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2008
I knew this recipe would be pretty "spicy" (too much so for the kids) so I only added 2 chipotle peppers. Are those sirens I hear?...Yep...this is definitely 5 alarm chili. Yikes, my burning mouth! LOL. It was good but not kid friendly. To save my kids I had to add the following to tone down the heat: 1 can tomato sauce and 1/4 cup of sugar. I also felt the chili needed salt so I added a few teaspoons of the kosher variety. I served with shredded cheddar, cilantro, sour cream and corn bread. Much better. Oh, and have an ice cold glass of milk at the ready to extinguish further "fires". Thanks for sharing the recipe. It was fun!

Honey Whole Wheat Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2008
"...Give us this day our daily bread..." I just found our daily bread recipe! Oh my goodness, this bread is just way too good! I wish I could give you 10 stars but you'll have to settle for 5. I would have taken a picture but it was gobbled up so fast! Thank you for this simple and simply wonderful recipe.

Kona Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2008
This was just okay for me. I made using boneless skinless chicken breasts. I was looking forward to the play of sweet against the salty with the added note of white wine. Unfortunately, all I tasted was the salt. If I made this again, I would reduce the soy sauce by half.

West African Chicken Stew

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2008
I was so happy to find this recipe! I am one of he co-creators of the "Shrinking Chatter Safari through Africa" (found on the recipe exchange) and had been looking for a recipe to try out in honor of our trek. The heat of this dish is just right leaving a lingering tingle on the tongue. Very tasty and the peanut butter adds an extra depth of flavor that the whole family thoroughly enjoyed. I made exactly as written using olive oil for the veggie oil in the recipe. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for a wonderful recipe which will be a keeper in our rotation.

America's Favorite Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2008
Just wanted to share our version of this American classic: we like to add sliced pickles to ours. Hubby enjoys jalepenos in his. Sometimes, if the mood strikes, I even add a touch of worchestishire sauce to the butter.

What an easy and fun project to do with your children! My daughter and I made a whole batch for a party tomorrow. In additon to vanilla frosting we also used chocolate. I do believe they'll be the hit of the party!

Grilled Lemon Herb Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2008
I made these last evening for dinner. I was concerned about the amount of lemon juice thinking it may be too much. The only change I made was to use 1-2 tbsp. FRESH herbs (added rosemary and thyme to the mix)to the marinade. These were very good! I served with broccoli and acorn squash for a wonderful autumn meal.
