Green Bean Casserole I

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2008
Always a good idea to read the reviews before trying a new recipe. I made the following changes and ROCKED thanksgiving with this: I cut the entire recipe in half, so double these amounts if making the full size (6 servings). Reduce milk to 1/4 cup - I used canned condensed milk, creamier. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese - 3/4 to mix in, 1/4 on top with remaining onions. Use condensed cream of mushroom and roasted garlic soup. NO salt. Freaking delightful. Great reheated, too, which surprised me.

Tomato-Cream Sauce for Pasta

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008
This sauce was loved by my very picky boyfriend who hates when I experiment with food. I put the tomatos in the food processor for a few seconds before adding them when the recipe directed. We used all the onion and a little extra garlic, with a pinch of red pepper flakes. The sauce was even delicious before adding the cream and butter as a plain red sauce. You can let it simmer for 5-30 minutes before adding the cream (we used canned evaporated milk) and butter, so you can time it with the rest of your food!

Cream of Fresh Asparagus Soup II

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008
I used canned evaporated milk in the recipe and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I also added one crushed clove of garlic before blending. I agree with the reviewer who said your friends will think you've become a chef overnight. While this soup takes a bit of effort to make, none of that effort is risky for an uneducated (and untalented) cook like myself. We bought tiny round sourdough loaves and hollowed them out for breadbowls to use with this recipe. Since then, we have sworn off all canned soups of any kind. We thought we didn't like soup at all until we tried this recipe!

Easy Vegetable Pot Pie

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2005
Very tasty for how easy it was! And beautiful, too. I didn't use the egg on my crust and it still looked and tasted wonderful. Took nearly no time or effort, and was a big hit with my meat-eating boyfriend. This one goes in my everyday recipe box.

Ginger and Spice Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2002
These cookies are a little less sweet than the usual molasses/ginger/spice cookie, so they're great with cocoa egg nog, or other sweet drinks. We made ours rolled in powdered sugar and about half the size in the directions. They end up like little spice cakes, very cute and welcomed at the office.

I made this cornbread for my vegetarian thanksgiving dinner this year, not only was it not too dry, not too sweet, not too salty, and not too HEAVY, it also looked absolutely beautiful on my table. this is my new favorite cornbread recipe, and i'll be passing it on to future generations.
