California Chicken Spaghetti

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2009
Great dish!!! Absolutely 5 stars, and my daughter just packed it for her lunch tomorrow before we've even cleared the table. Alterations: as suggested, used the entire box of angel hair pasta, used 1 15oz can of seasoned diced tomatoes (I might use 2 cans next time), only 1/2 T of Emeril's Bayou seasoning. To serve, I placed all the pasta into a large pasta dish, poured the chicken/tomatoe mix on top, added a layer of asiago cheese (very thin layer), and then covered it with regular feta. Delicious!! :-)

I used almonds and crasins instead of walnuts and cranberries. I really enjoyed it. I did not feel like I was starving myself.

Slovak Stuffed Cabbage

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2009
I thought this was a good recipe that froze well. The taste is very European so it may be an acquired taste. I made this for a family from Romania and they loved it...could not stop eating it. I will keep the recipe in my recipe box, but probably won't be making it for my family again in the near future.

Quick and Easy Tuna Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009
Based on some of the reviews I thought this recipe would be great - I gave it only 3 stars. I have to admit it was quick and easy, though. I took the advice of some of the readers and added 1/4 c milk, 1/2 c sour cream, sauted the onions in olive oil before adding, 5 cheese slices and 1/4 block of colby jack. After mixing it all, I transferred to a casserole dish, mixed bread crumbs (fresh) and butter together to make a crunchy topping and baked for about 20min in a 350 oven. The kids ate their entire servings, so they liked it, but there were no raving reviews from my family.

It was a good meal, but a little bland. My daughter loved it and took it as a hot lunch the next day.

Egg Drop Soup II

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2009
This was DELICIOUS and so easy to make! I added 1.5 T cornstarch to thicken it more, a few drops of sesame oil as previously suggested, and some soy sauce (unmeasured). The result was super yummy, and kids loved it. I think w/enough pepper (I accidently put in more than called for) it is great for colds!

Asian Orange Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2009
I thought the recipe was tasty, but my kids did not. I think the cornstarch called for was too much and made the sauce really thick and goopy. I simmered the chicken in the sauce which also made the crispy covering not-so-crispy...if I did this again, I would just pour the sauce over the chicken after it was done.

Chi Chi Dango Mochi

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2009
I thought I would really love this recipe because I grew up on Okinawa and have been looking for that "pink mochi" we could buy in the markets. My son loved this recipe, but he wasn't raised on "original mochi". For me, I thought the taste had too much coconut flavoring (from the milk obviously), and it's not the original mochi taste I yearn for and miss. I gave it 4 stars only because my kids liked it.

I loved this recipe but HUbby wasn't very impressed with it. To each his own I guess. Best bet is to try it. Goodluck!

Italian Sausage, Peppers, and Onions

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2009
Very good! I added 1/2 pkg of tofu (cubed), and, since tofu takes on the flavor of what it's cooked with, it really added to the tastiness of the dish. We served this over rice, kind of like an asian stirfry. No leftovers!

Easy Lemon Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2008
-Diana's daughter- Absolutely amazing!! I followed the advice of some of the reviewers here (the store was out of lemon cake mix) and used yellow cake mix instead. They all turned out beautifully! Everyone I gave them to raved about it. I also used 1 T lemon juice and some lemon zest on the first batch. This is too little lemon taste, and I recommend using more lemon juice if not using lemon cake mix. I will definitely be making these again.

-This is Diana's 14-yr-old daughter- These cookies were amazing! I made them for drama class at school and followed the recipe exactly. They were a hit!! All of my friends were raving about them. Even my friend who absolutely HATES oatmeal fell in love with them. These are cookies that will be loved by everyone, indeed.

Easy Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2008
These were amazing cookies!! Not only were they convenient to make (no chilling), everything about them was perfect. They were soft and delicious. Just a few notes: I added an additional tsp of vanilla. On half of the batches I made I dipped the cookies in sugar before putting them in the oven. The sugar made them crispier on the outside, but the softness within was unchanged. Also, for maximum softness, serve straight out of the oven. These cookies cold are rather hard...

Avocado and Tuna Tapas

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2008
I was hesitant to make this at first but I was hungry, had all the ingredients at hand and really didn't feel like eating fastfood. This is soo good. I even got an "mmm..mmm" from my hubby. Although I am not a big fan of canned tuna I do love avocados and keep finding ways to make it a part of my diet. Avocados are loaded with MUFA's (mono-unsaturated fat -->the good kind) which actually helps your body get rid of the "bad" fat. So Gracias for sharing this recipe!

Mexican Corn

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2008
I've made this recipe twice and the first time I made it, it was a 5 star but the second time-3 stars the difference? - I used canned corn the first time and frozen ones the second time. And believe me, it made a whole lot of difference. Be sure to use the canned ones as the recipe suggests. mmm.. mmm.. Good.

Seasoned Cornish Hens

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2008
This was a pretty good recipe - liked by the entire family. I LOVED how the cornish hens browned...they looked beautiful - 5star restaurant-quality presentation. I didn't especially like the oyster sauce flavor, but the hens were very moist. I took the advice of many commenters and added Chinese 5spice, olive oil; cut the hens in half before cooking; marinated them 3 hours in ziploc bags in the fridge. Cooked this with the following menu: Zucchini & Tomato Bowtie Pasta, Seafood Quiche...and Watermelon. :-)
