Black Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2007

This was good, but I think it had too much of an onion and pepper taste and not enough of a bean and rice flavor.

I loved how easy to make and tasty this recipe was. To reduce the fat, I substituted with fat free sour cream, low-fat cheese, and used PAM to sautee the onions. Everything was wonderful. We will use this again.

Easy and Delicious Chicken

Reviewed: May 17, 2007

Very good. I left the italian dressing and juices in the mix instead of adding the chicken broth. A little tangy but very good. I can see how substituting the chicken broth would lessen the flavor. I served over cooked spaghetti noodles. Overall, a good recipe. I would make this again.

Easy and Delicious Chicken and Rice Casserole

Reviewed: May 9, 2007

Very easy to make. Good flavor. I added a little extra rice, since many stated the rice was too mushy. It came out great. I would recommend cutting up the chicken into smaller pieces so it can absorb more of the flavor. It was a little bland but very tender and juicy.

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2007

The recipe has potential, but the time is off. I cooked it on low for 8 hours, and the sauce was burned and the chicken was all dried out. If the time was lessened, I think it would cook well, but do not use the higher times suggested.

Colleen's Slow Cooker Jambalaya

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2007

This was mediocre. It didn't taste like jambalaya. I am from and live in New Orleans, and the seasoning combination did not taste like jambalaya. Also, I was pretty confused once I realized that it was served over rice instead of cooked together as a flavored rice dish. While it was an ok dish that tasted kind of like spanish rice with meat, I'm going back to the Zateran's mix.

1-2-3 Vegetable Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2007

This recipe definitely has five star potential with a few minor modifications. Upon the suggestion of others, I added more chili powder (probably 3-4 teaspoons). I tried it with the one and it didn't taste enough like chili. It was more vegetable/bean flavored. However, after the additional chili pepper and an added can of kidney beans, the chili was really good. Like others have stated, I would highly recommend cutting the zucchini into smaller pieces, so they cook better into the chili. Overall, great recipe. I'm glad we tried it.

Artichoke Spinach Lasagna

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2007

My husband and I loved this recipe. Pretty easy to make and very tasty. To lower the fat, I used fat-free feta and pasta sauce and low-fat mozzarella. The grocery didn't have vegetable broth, so I used chicken broth. I also substituted the fresh rosemary and garlic for dried versions. Still came out wonderful! We will be using this one again and again.

Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2007

My husband and I both loved this recipe. It will definitely become a part of our regular menu. I made a few modifications: used baked chicken instead of canned, added 1/2 packet of taco seasoning, and added 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken the broth. It was fabulous. I also took the suggestions that others added to top with tortilla chips and cheese. I would highly recommend this, especially for those looking for a quick and filling meal. When making this recipe the third time, I decided to add a can of fat free refried beans to thicken the soup, and it was perfect. It gave the soup a great texture.

Sweet Potato Pie I

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2007

I have made this recipe four or five times and my family loves it. Sometimes, I'll replace 1/4 of the milk with sweet condensed milk to make it a little sweeter. My family likes it better with the extra sweetener, but it's good either way.

Restaurant Style Egg Drop Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2006

The taste was ok. I agree that it was missing something. The broth just wasn't quite right. Maybe not enough cornstarch on my part, but the flavor wasn't rich enough for me.

Yam Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2006

I cooked this for Christmas and my whole family raved about it. I was out of brown sugar, so I used all white sugar. The family didn't seem to mind one bit. Great recipe!!!

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2006

These pancakes are just the right consistency. My husband just loves them, and they're so easy to make. Also, I find they cook better than box mixes.

Loaded Potato Soup I

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2006

My entire family loved this recipe. I would recommend letting the soup cool slightly before adding the cheese or it will burn to the bottom. Also, I gave my family chopped green onion, cheese, and bacon bits as possible toppers for the soup.
