Classic Greek Spinach

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2012

Reduced the olive oil significantly, to about 1/3 c. Omitted salt and sprinkled Feta cheese crumbles on top. A big hit!

Herbed Cream Cheese-Stuffed Lamb Burgers

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2010

Wonderful and mildly flavored. I prefer strong flavors, so may jazz it up next time with some garlic, thyme or Greek seasoning blend. My husband loved it!

Wonderful flavor! The salty bacon, contrasted with the sweet pineapple and BBQ sauce of your choice, is a winner! As others mentioned, preparing the pineapple and bacon separately removed a lot of headache. These burgers don't crumble, but they don't hold together easily either. Remedying it through bread crumbs or some other means is suggested.

Barbie's Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2010

The flavor of this tuna salad is unparalleled. However, the amount of mayonnaise called for places it just at the border of "soupy." I suggest adding mayo slowly to the other ingredients, in order to obtain the texture you most like.

Pimento Cheese Spread With Feta

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2010

I added more mayonnaise to give it a more spreadable texture. I also think the cheddar/feta ratio needs adjusting to allow this recipe to enjoy the little kick that feta can provide.

Baked Lemon Chicken with Mushroom Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2010

An excellent recipe, but only if you add some sort of seasoning to taste. My DH added lemon pepper to his portion and I added a garlic wine seasoning. It was wonderful, with seasoning but too bland alone.

Grandma's Sweet Hubbard Squash Custard Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2010

A very lightly sweet, dense, nicely flavored pie. I used evaporated milk to reduce fat and topped it with a sugar free whipped topping. My husband, who isn't a fan of squash and tried it almost reluctantly, really liked it!

Prime Rib Au Jus with Yorkshire Pudding

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2009

I mixed the salt, pepper and some thyme in olive oil, covering the roast with the mixture. Then I sealed it with a light coating of flour. I roasted it at 450 for 30 minutes, reducing the temp to 325. I roasted it until the internal temperature reached 130. The meat was perfect! The au jus was great!

Tomato Chicken Parmesan

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2009

Fan-freakin'-tastic! Reduce the egg to 1 and the bread crumbs to half. Double the sauce. Used fat free mozzarella and Italian bread crumbs and it was the bomb!

Coffee and Doughnuts Ice Cream

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009

The flavor is great, but the doughnut pieces froze solid like ice cubes. I might try it next time without soaking the doughnuts in coffee.

Bacon 'n' Egg Salad Sandwiches

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009

As far as egg salad goes this is a 5-star winner. I used uncured bacon, having half the sodium of traditional bacon, and reduced the salt to 1/2 tsp. Additionally, I used bacon salt instead of table salt. I took it to a picnic and it was the hit of the day! Even my husband, who isn't an egg salad fan, liked it and wants me to make it again.

Baked Chicken-Fried Steak with Mushroom Gravy

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2009

Yum! The process of baking the steaks in the oven makes the meat nicely tender. We love gravy, so I doubled it using a can of cream of chicken and a can of cream of mushroom soup. (The cream of chicken soup really does add a nice flavor.) We also adore mushrooms, so I sauteed a pound of fresh mushrooms to substitute for the canned mushrooms asked for in the recipe. I served this with greens and mashed potatoes and will make it again and again.

Blueberry Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009

This salad is wonderful! I made it without substitutions, merely ommitting the salt. The combination of the sweet, toasted pecans and vinagrette, offsets the bite of the blue cheese and tart blueberries. Using raspberry vinegar, instead of ubiquitous balsamic, gives this salad an innovative and unique flair. I think the combination of ingredients as written is what elevates this salad from being just another, run of the mill fruit, nut, balsamic salad interpretaion.

Blueberry Buckle

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

Moist, chock full of blueberries and delicious! I used white whole wheat flour and a blend of Splenda and sugar. I needed to add more milk to give the batter the right texture. It came out perfectly. This is a winner!

Buffalo Burgers

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2009

I loved the concept, but the sauce was lacking. We love hot, vinegary Buffalo sauce. This bland sauce didn't resemble Buffalo sauce at all. We'll take the idea and next time get some bottled Buffalo sauce at the store.

Slow Cooker Beef Roast

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2009

Couldn't be easier. The use of BBQ sauce is a nice change from the more commonly used onion or mushroom soups. We're on a low-sodium diet, so I watered down the worcestershire sauce using 1/2 water and 1/2 sauce.

Bookbinder's Fabulous Cheesecake

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009

I used 1 tsp. bottled lemon juice and tasted no lemon flavor at all. Either you absolutely must use fresh, or you must use more than 1 tsp., or it needs a boost with some lemon extract. Otherwise, the cheesecake was great!
