Slow Cooker Chicken Marrakesh

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2011

I would have taken a photo of this dish, but it was GONE in a flash! Helpful hints: DO double the spices, and add a shake of cayenne if you are so inclined. I omitted the carrots, but kept everything else the same...OK, except for adding some (1/2 cup) of chicken stock about halfway through. The flavors were amazing!

Hearty Harvest and Ham Stew

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2011

First off -- like other reviewers, I added more liquid (1 cup chicken stock + 3 cups water.) Other than that, I kept the rest of the ingredients the same. The flavor reminded me of a New England Boiled Dinner. Simple yet delicious flavors, and very healthy. Thanks so much for posting this recipe -- it is already a favorite when served with whole grain french bread!

Tried this icing, and it is chocolate heaven! Wow. Just wow! And how wonderful to make it out of stuff that I have in my pantry anyway!

Cheese Grits

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2011

Outstanding recipe! I used quick-cook grits because that's all I had -- a heaping cup of quick-cook to 4 cups of water did the trick. Put a pressed clove of garlic in the grits water for flavor, and used cheddar cheese an some fresh-grated parmesan for the cheeses. I baked it longer than called for, and it came out sliceable but still a great soft texture. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

Quick Quiche

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2010

This is a great basic, quick crustless QUICHE recipe. I made it this morning using baking mix, 5 large eggs, and one can of evap. milk. DELICIOUS! Hubby will take the leftovers into work this evening. Bravo on an easy, quick Quiche recipe!

Aw-some Cole Slaw

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2010

To me, a great recipe gives me a good base to start from. To the folks that gave 4 stars because they had to "tweak" it, I say "Nyah!" We all customize to suit our family's tastes. This slaw tasted JUST like my mother's. I added celery salt, but pretty much just left it alone. Great slaw!

Chicken Satay

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2010

Awesome as an appetizer! I added more peanut butter as well as about a TBSP of grated fresh ginger. I used the juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime, and slipped in a slug of rice wine. I also increased the brown sugar just a bit. Next time, I would probably use low-sodium soy sauce. Too cold out to grill, so threw it into the oven in its marinade for about 30 minutes. Just a lovely blend of flavors!

Cajun Potato Latkes

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2010

DOH! Why didn't I think of this before? I made these in appetizer size and they were gone in a flash. For speed, I used thawed frozen hashed browns, and they worked just fine. Just enough kick to be interesting. I would suggest using a quality cajun seasoning. (If you're looking to watch your sodium intake, there are many fine salt-free cajun seasonings available.) I'm certain that I'll try these latkes in other ethnic incarnations as well: mexican, etc. Thank you, CC!

Special Lobster Bisque

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2009

I made this today, and the flavors are phenomenal! I agree with previous posts that this recipe would work excellently with crab as well. I followed the recipe but added about 1/3 cup of dry sherry and a dash of cayenne. Definitely a five-star bisque!

Super Easy Seared Ahi Tuna

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2009

Before finding this recipe, I had never had seared ahi tuna. I happened to find some in the frozen section at our local Sam's Club, and decided to try it. I'm SO glad I did! I have now made this several times, and it comes out a winner every time. I added panko breadcrumbs, but followed the rest of the recipe to a T. Delicious and simple...who can beat that?

Scott's Buffalo Wing Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2009

4 ingredients + personal imagination = 1 great sauce!! Scott's recipe is great as-is for wings. I changed the proportions of the ingredients a little and added chopped garlic when making Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches out of chopped cooked chicken. (1/2 cup each of Frank's and Heinz, 2Tbs butter, healthy Tbs of honey, and one minced garlic clove.) Serve on a bun, or dinner rolls for a fun snack! Thanks Scott -- this one's a winner!

Cream of Asparagus Soup II

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009

You just can't beat simplicity. This base recipe is easy, quick to prepare, and other than the fresh asparagus uses standard pantry staples. I love the fact that it can be jazzed up to suit any palate. (I added white wine and some cheddar cheese.) Super recipe, thanks for posting it, Corwynn!

Pizzadillas

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2009

These receive five stars for ease of preparation and customization. I had issues with the filling oozing out after I had folded the flour tortillas. This could have been due to my ineptitude, but I believe I will make them with two tortillas next time, and put sauce on both. My DH was delighted with his fast "pizza" lunch! Thanks for another great recipe, Mission!

Beer-Boiled Shrimp

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009

How yummy!! I followed the recipe, omitted the salt and added Old Bay. (No need for both, as Old Bay is high in sodium as it is.) I love it when easy recipes are also the best!

Simple Sausage Strata

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2009

OK, so I didn't follow the recipe to a T...sue me. This recipe is a WONDERFUL base recipe, and that's always what I'm looking for. I sauteed 4 green onions as the sausage was finishing. Layered cut up garlic breadsticks in the bottom of the pan, topped with the sausage/onion mixture, then cheddar cheese, then 5 large eggs, 1 cup of cream, a little salt, and some parsley. Baked it for about 40 minutes...Perfection! Thanks so much for this recipe!

Easy Soda Cracker Bars

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2009

Amazingly easy, delicious, and supremely adaptable. You could use any type of crackers for the crust(well, probably not onion or garlic-flavored crackers!)and the rest of the ingredients may be swapped out. For example, I used soda crackers, toffee bits, semi-sweet chips, and a sturdy cup of pecans. I melted the butter in the pan while the oven was heating up, then just mixed in the crackers and pressed down the crust. I omitted the coconut due to family allergies, and they STILL came out fabulous! Thank you so very much for this recipe!

Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2009

If anyone had ever told me that I would cook steak...STEAK...(and filet mignon at that!) covered, I would have laughed and called them lunatics. But, OH...how delightful this dish is! I used sherry, merely because I did not wish to open a fresh bottle of red wine. I added 2 cloves of garlic put through a garlic press, and a scant Tablespoon of brown sugar. Cooked the filets to medium rare, took them out to rest, reduced the sauce...MAGNIFICENT! Thanks, from an "old dog" who has just learned a new trick! Update: I have now made this several times, once with a 2" rib eye steak. This recipe is exceptional for consistent results. It is always amazing!

Quick and Easy Sauteed Spinach

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009

Way to go with this recipe! It just doesn't get any easier than this. Since I have to control my sodium intake, I used 1 clove of garlic put through the garlic press, sauteed for about 45 seconds before I added the spinach. I added a pinch of kosher salt and a sprinkling of nutmeg when I stirred it. The dish was done in less than 10 minutes. Super side, very tasty!
