These were fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfect. Will make again!

Nice starter recipe. I would have given it 5 stars but I made a few changes: since it came out a little bland I minced in a couple of cloves of garlic and a dash of hot sauce for zip, and to counter the lack of texture I chopped up half a can of water chestnuts to add crunch here and there. It went over great at my holiday party!

Bacon Wrapped Smokies

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009

I make this for parties all the time and people always ask for the recipe. I have changed the prep slightly the more I've made it however: I only use thick sliced bacon since it seems to hold up better, and I dredge the bacon in the brown sugar before I wrap everything together so the flavors can mingle more. Also, I bake them for 30 minutes at 375 since I like really crispy bacon. Overall a very quick and delicious appetizer!

Fruit Pizza I

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009

This was delicious! I made it in the summer so had a great selection of fresh fruit, but the raspberries really made it shine. Will make again!

Simple Salmon Chowder II

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

I was actually really surprised by how much I liked this recipe! I've never tried to make a fish soup before and was very pleased with the results. Using the mix is a great idea, however, I think it does make the soup a bit too salty, I think next time I'll use less of it and more fresh herbs. Overall good though! Will make again.

Sweet Potato Balls

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

The flavor of all the ingredients together was pretty good, but I must have done something wrong in the execution - they did not turn out well at all. Maybe to me the wording was ambiguous, but I rolled the potato mixture around the marshmallows and then rolled them in cornflakes. When they baked, the marshmallows melted and I was left with flat sticky chewy lumps. They tasted alright, but looked hideous and were hard to eat.

Kalamata Caviar

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

This was wonderful! Unfortunately, I only realized after I started that my food processor didn't work so I had to chop everything by hand. The flavor was delicious though, and I think I liked the more robust texture better in the end anyway. Served with toast rounds as a thanksgiving appetizer.

Easy Tilapia

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2007

Delicious! I was really happy with the way this one turned out. I did make one addition however: at the very end I threw in a handful of feta cheese to the sauce to help thicken it and add a little more zip. Also, next time I might use halibut instead of tilapia as I was only able to find previously frozen fillets and they were not so good... I think it would be great with either though! Thanks for the awesome recipe!

Sweet Pepper Pasta Toss with Kale

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2007

This was alarmingly good! I've been trying to work more leafy greens into my diet and this was the perfect dish for it. Based on previous reviews I didn't measure out my kale, I just used "a bunch" and it worked out great. I also substituted campanelle pasta because it's more bite sized and crushed red pepper because it was what I had. Overall it was delicious. I made it for dinner last night and brought it for lunch today - it's great cold too!
