Caprese Burger

Reviewed: May 25, 2012
These were fantastic! I used turkey instead of beef because of my hubby's cholesterol restrictions and my calorie restrictions. It was excellent. I also used a 25-year traditional balsamic and white truffle olive oil on the tomato and it really made the flavor of the burger. Thanks for the great recipe. This is a keeper!

A Jerky Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2012
Though I wouldn't say this is what I think of as a true Caribbean jerk recipe, this recipe was great. I had to make a few substitutions because of what I had on hand. I substituted green onions for the onion, 1 tablespoon of worcestershire for a tablespoon of soy and added 1 clove of garlic. I served it over plain white rice. This was fantastic, but, be warned that it is VERY spicy if you do not deseed the habanero. It doesn't say to do so on the recipe, so I didn't, because we do love spicy. I am making this again as a marinade for wings for a party tomorrow and will make a batch with the deseeded habanero for those who may not be able to handle the heat. A definite keeper recipe.

Spicy Indian Chicken and Mango Curry

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2012
This was fantastic. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a bit much cucumber for my personal taste, but I took a few slices out and it was just perfect. It's in the permanent recipe box now.

Blackened Tuna Steaks with Mango Salsa

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2012
I have made this so many times using different fish as well as tuna. This is also my go-to mango salsa recipe even if I don't blacken the fish and/or serve the salsa with another meat. We love it! Thank you for sharing.

Baked Bean Sandwiches

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2012
This was definitely a change of pace for us. My husband is watching his cholesterol and really has been missing bacon and cheese. It was a nice touch to add to the dish while still keeping that cholesterol level low. I made them as open-faced sandwiches using whole wheat muffins. Next time I will probably not use maple flavored beans as this was the only detraction for him from the meal.

Mulligatawny Soup I

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2012
Fantastic! I served this at a dinner party with my neighbors and everyone loved it. The only changes I made were to add a clove of garlic and I doubled the curry. I also omitted the cream and instead served a tsp of sour cream on top with a few green onions for presentation. Will definitely make this again. I've already had a few requests for it.

Shay's Irish Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2012
This was a hearty dish and we were very pleased with the results. The only change I made was to use fresh new potatoes instead of canned since I had them on hand. Will make again.

Mexican Rice III

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2012
Excellent recipe! My husband said he liked it better than the rice served in the Mexican restaurant he frequents for lunches. A definite keeper. Thanks for sharing.

Romantic Chicken with Artichokes and Mushrooms

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2012
This was a great recipe. I only give it a 4 because I made alterations based on what I had on hand and since I was only cooking for 2. I used 2 chicken breasts and cut the chicken into cubes and marinated with a little salt, pepper and lemon juice. I added 1/2 yellow onion while cooking the chicken. I also added a can of tomatoes with green chiles for color and 3 small cloves of minced garlic when I added the reserved liquid and wine, and I used sherry since I didn't have any cooking wine. I served this with egg noodles. A very good recipe. Will make this again.

White Bean Chicken Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2012
This was fantastic. I made a few alterations based on other reviewers suggestions and our personal tastes. I used salsa verde instead of tomatillos, used tomatoes with diced green chiles, added extra cumin and about 1 tbsp chili powder, used steamed frozen corn, added a finely diced jalapeno and a finely diced cherry pepper (we like things spicy!) and an additional can of beans. Next time I will use black beans instead of another can of white beans for more color. I've had to give this recipe to everyone for whom I have served it. Fantastic!

Awesome Spicy Beef Kabobs OR Haitian Voodoo Sticks

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2011
Excellent recipe! I did add a little lemon juice to help tenderize the meat since I was using a cheaper cut of beef and only had time to marinate for about an hour and a half, but these were a hit. I have already received a request to make them again. Thanks for sharing!

Jet Swirl Pizza Appetizers

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011
I get requests for this appetizer nearly every weekend during football season. It's fantastic. The only modifications I have made are to sprinkle some basil, oregano and thyme on the dough before adding the fillings and to gently baste it with olive oil after rolling but before baking.

Braised Balsamic Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011
I had to modify this recipe a little based on what I had on hand, but not enough to really change the flavor. My husband and I both loved it. A keeper.

Indian Fish Curry

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011
This had great flavor, but boy was it HOT. My husband and I are huge fans of spicy food, but this was almost too much for us. Next time I make this I will cut the cayenne a little. Otherwise a fantastic recipe! Thanks for sharing

Grill Master Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2011
These were good, but after all the rave reviews, I was expecting a bigger flavor. Everyone enjoyed them and they're great for a large crowd when there may be some who don't like the spice that I like on my wings.

Spicy Salmon with Caramelized Onions

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2011
I really enjoyed the combination of sweet and spicy in this dish. I used it on Haddock because that was what I had available, sliced a whole yellow onion instead of dicing it, used smoked paprika in the paste and marinated the fish for over an hour. I served this with a steamed corn, asparagus and carrot medley. It was great. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for the recipe. I am going to try it on ribs this weekend.

Kalbi (Marinated Beef Short Ribs)

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2011
I give this only 4 stars because I did not make the recipe as directed. I used boneless short ribs. I ran out of soy so I had to use some teriyaki and also used a gourmet bloody mary mix when I ran out of teriyaki. I didn't have any sesame seeds so I omitted them as well. Instead of grilling, I broiled the ribs for 7 minutes per side and then sliced them into medallions. They were so tender and flavorful and were a huge success at my party. This marinade recipe is definitely a keeper.
