Zesty White Wine Green Beans

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2009

So quick, so easy, so tasty! I would have given this 5 stars, but I was the only one in my family who liked it.

While my husband said these were the best green beans he'd ever had, when I asked him what he liked best about them, he said that he liked them better than usual simply because they were not plain. I found them much too peppery (the lemon pepper completely overwhelmed the almonds), and my children - who love plain green beans - disliked them as well. I might try to make them again with less lemon pepper than called for in the recipe.

Fast and Friendly Meatballs

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2009

These were ridiculously easy to make. My family, getting a bit tired of my recent cooking experiments, were overjoyed when I served them the old Spaghetti & Meatballs favorite with these quick meatballs. I used canned sauce and served garlic bread on the side. There were no leftovers.

Moroccan Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2009

I don't care if this is authentic Moroccan or not, it was fantastic! I substituted "garam masala" (which I could not find locally) with equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper. Also, I omitted most of the onions and added only as much as were contained in the canned diced tomatoes due to a few family members disliking onions. I served the soup with thick pita bread and my family loved it. Very spicy, very hearty, very satisfying!

Mexican Baked Fish

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2009

I made this dish exactly as described but it wasn't a hit with my family. While the adults ate it dutifully (it wasn't terrible), the kids refused to touch it. Perhaps if I'd used a fish besides cod it could have been better.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2009

My entire family loved this dish! My only mistake was not making MORE of it so everyone could have seconds (and thirds)!

Black Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2009

I took the advice of others and added a dash of cumin to this dish, which worked quite well. It's a hearty side dish that could easily, with increased portions, be used as a main course. The cheese is optional, but certainly adds to the display value when used.

Sesame Tilapia

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2005

I made this for four following the instructions in one of the reviews. I put the tilapia in a bag with the oil, but substituted fresh oregano, basil and parsley for the 'italian seasoning'. Marinated for 30 minutes, baked at 350 for 30 minutes, and served over a bed of rice. Everyone (even the 4 year old) loved it. Husband said it could use some lemon.

Ham Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2004

I was somewhat disappointed with this sauce. The vinegar was a bit overwhelming, despite the sweetness of the sugar. Though I tried a good bit of it with dinner tonight (and even had seconds), I probably won't make it again.
