Quinoa Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2012

This was a fantastic, healthy chili. It freezes easily. I put the left overs into small freezer containers and brought them to work for lunches. Thanks for the great recipe.

Very simple and great flavor! I decided to use light soy sauce and I also replace half of the soy sauce with red wine (Pinot Noir) and the steak was fantastic. Tender and full of flavor. I will make this again.

Pepperidge Farm® Beef Wellington

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2011

Unfortunately I am going to have to agree with Amity. This steak turned out way too rare and the pastry was very soggy. I can think of better things to do with a tasty beef tenderloin.

Potato Chips

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2011

These were awesome. Once I was able to get them paper thin like Jessica said, they crisped up in less then 3 minutes. I tried sweet potatoes too, but they went from not crisp yet to burnt in a matter of seconds. What I like best about them is I know exactly what ingredient and how much of each is going into them. There are no big words on a label that I cannot pronounce, there isn't a big giant bag of them in my pantry that I can just keep eating until it's feeling empty and I'm feeling guilty. In fact there is no big giant bag at all. (Yay for the land fills.) I did use a piece of parchment paper, however, like others suggested. I would not make these chips without it. I cut it in a circle that fits the plate that is already in my microwave perfectly and used it over many times. I used a mandolin to get the potatoes consistently thin and I really very, very lightly sprayed the chips with olive oil cooking spray. After about 2 minutes and 45 seconds they were perfect and tasted exactly like (or maybe even better than) chips from the bag. I simply picked up the parchment paper and the chips slid right off into my chip bowl.

Roasted Kohlrabi

Reviewed: May 28, 2011

I love kohlrabi raw with salt, so I never even thought about trying it any other way. This was very simple and very tasty. It tastes completely different from raw kohlrabi. Thanks for the inspiration to try it hot. Maybe next time I will add a few sliced carrot rounds for color.

Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza

Reviewed: May 25, 2011

Yum! I listened to a few others and used just a thin layer of dressing on the crust. I also used buffalo sauce with the chicken instead of hot sauce and butter and added some feta cheese into this mix. I layered some raw spinach on top of the dressing then added the meet mixture. I topped that with sauteed mushrooms and asparagus and then sprinkled the cheese on top of that. This was so yummy. I know I made a lot of changes, but I would still give this recipe 5 stars.

Southwestern Egg Rolls

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2010

Everybody should try making these. They are that good. It is easy to make additions and subtractions to meet your liking. I tried with both tortillas and egg roll wrappers and I like the wrappers best. They weren't as thick and they were easier to wrap (though they don't stick with the Southwestern theme.) Like others, I chose to bake them. Why add all that grease when they are great just sprayed with a little cooking spray and then baked. With 2 table spoons of this and 2 table spoons of that you should really take a little time and just make a huge batch since they do freeze so nicely. If you bake them before you freeze them, they are great in lunches. Try making a sauce of sour cream, salsa and cumin for dipping. I will definitely spend the time to make these over and over again. Yum.

Dave's Low Country Boil

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2010

WOW! I can't wait to make this over the fire pit this summer with a bunch of friends. How fun! This was outstanding. With the exception of adding a few lemons, I made this recipe as written. I wouldn't change too much. When it's good, it's good. I like the idea somebody gave about using a turkey roaster with its strainer. -- Good one.

Grilled Salmon With Orange Glaze

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2010

I really liked the glaze, and I made sure to save some to drizzle over the top of the finished fish. I made this with my Foreman grill and I think I overcooked the salmon, so I can't wait to try it this summer on a real grill. Thanks for the recipe.

Fried Cabbage and Egg Noodles

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2010

I try to eat lower sodium due to high blood pressure and when you use no salt butter and don't add any extra salt, this is a very low sodium dish that is also very flavorful. I was surprised that I liked this so much. I never would have thought of this combination of foods. This was very simple and fast. I added an onion and some garlic and I cooked the cabbage for about 20 minutes like others suggested. I used 3 Tbs. butter and 2-3 Tbs olive oil to cut back on the saturated fat. This change along with using whole wheat egg noodles in place of regular helps me feel better about eating this dish. Next time I will add more sweet onions and cabbage and less noodles. Thanks for the recipe Judi.

Stir-Fried Kale and Broccoli Florets

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009

This was a lot better than I expected. It is always great to find a healthy dish that is also full of flavor. I think the tomatoes made this dish. This was my first time trying kale and I will definitely have it again in this recipe and others. After reading other's suggestions this is what I decided to do with the recipe and I loved it. I steamed the kale first, and only use 1/2 of a lime. I grilled a marinated chicken breast and corsley chopped a few cashews. I topped the kale and broccoli dish with slices of the chicken and sprinkled the chopped cashews over the top. Yum!

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed: Aug. 6, 2009

This was fantastic and so easy. I used chicken broth instead of water and only used one container of biscuits. I used Campbell's Healthy Request cream of chicken soup to cut back on the fat and sodium and it still tasted great. I cut the chicken into bite sized pieces before I started and they were tender and moist when the soup was ready to eat. I added carrot circles in the very beginning. I quartered the biscuits before adding them after the soup cooked for four hours. I also added corn at the same time that I added the biscuits. The soup cook for six hours in all. I will absolutely make this again.

Slow Cooker Italian Beef for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2009

This sandwich was wonderful. When I made it I used beef broth in place of the water, I didn't add any salt and I replaced the onion salt with onion powder. To prepare the sandwich I spread some butter onto two halves of a hogie and sprinkled some garlic powder onto the butter. I broiled this until it was toasted. Then I added the meat, some sauteed mushrooms and onions and set a slice of provolone on top. I put this back under the broiler until the cheese melted. I chose to eat mine as an open face sandwich. This is a great addition to my recipe file.

Peach-a-Berry Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009

Yummy. Friends and family loved this pie and told me I had to rate it a 5. I added blueberries instead of raspberries and half white/half brown sugar. I also added an egg wash to the top crust before sprinkling with sugar. I will absolutely make this again.

Slow Cooker Venison Roast

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009

I would actually give this 4 1/2 stars as is. Then I followed the directions of a few other reviewers and added some changes of my own and the meal became a 5. I used one can of mushroom and one can of cream of celery soup. I did not add the onion soup mix (way too much salt). In place of the garlic salt, I added three cloves of garlic. I soaked the meat over night in milk. I added a splash of red wine and one cube of beef bouillon. Finally, I added potatoes, carrots and mushrooms to the sauce. I let it cook on low for 8 hours or more and the meat was tender and juicy. I will make this over and over and try it with beef too. I love finding a great slow cooker recipe. They are so easy, and when supper time comes the only work that needs to be done is setting the table.

Mango Salsa Salmon

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2009

I enjoyed this recipe as is and then of course made changes the second time around. First of all I feel like this recipe is all about the salsa and very little about the salmon. I started by brushing olive oil over the salmon and then sprinkling it with lemon pepper and dill. Next I made a mango sauce by adding the diced fruit of one mango into a small sauce pan and adding 1/2 c. cream and 1 Tbsp. lime juice. (Be careful not to curdle your cream.) When this was hot, I used my hand blender (a normal blender would work too) to blend this into a creamy sauce. I spooned this sauce over my grilled salmon and around on the plate and then scooped the salsa on top of that. For the salsa I reduced the amount of onion and garlic because these things tend to overpower the recipe for me. I also added a sliced avocado and the juice of half a lime. WOW what a great flavor. I know that I made a lot of changes, but I liked the recipe as is and I love it when I read a recipe that gets me thinking about how I can creatively make it even better. Thanks for the great recipe KASIAN.

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff I

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2009

This is a fantastic recipe. I was so hungry that I forgot to add the cream cheese and it still tasted great. Then I added the cheese and it was just as great. (So if you want a little less fat, skip the cream cheese.) I listened to Jillybean and added a bouillon cube, pepper, garlic and sauteed mushrooms and served it over egg noodles. I didn't add extra salt though and I really don't recommend it. Wow, this was a super easy and super tasty meal that I will make often. It tasted even better the next day.
