Kolachky

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
I scaled the recipe down to 12 "cookies". I used the Solo brand Apricot filling and it didn't ooze and tasted wonderfully. I had some issues with the dough sticking to the counter but I dusted confectioner's sugar and that helped a lot. I used a round cookie cutter, spread filling in the middle and then folded in the sides. See my pictures. I think they came out pretty and they were really tasty!!

Flan II

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
Didn't care for it much. I've made plenty of flans before (I'm puertorican, this is a staple dessert down there) and this one is so-so. Adding hot milk to eggs is not such a great idea either. You have to be really careful or you'll end up cooking the eggs with the hot milk. Caramel is the easiest thing to do. Use the microwave!!! Add some water to the sugar in a glass container and heat it up in high for a few minutes (until you see it turn that beautiful amber color). Have done it countless times that way, believe me.

Slow Cooker Pernil Pork

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2009
I've made this 4 times already. I follow the recipe as written and the result is a very flavorful and tender pork that my friends love and request when we have a get together coming up. I'm not a fan of the slow cooker but it works well enough. Having said that... I think this recipe is second best to a traditional puertorican pernil where the main ingredients are tons of garlic, adobo, oregano, white vinegar and onions.

Tiny Pecan Tarts

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2009
MMM! I didn't want a bunch of these, just enough for 3 people. So, I scaled it down to 6 servings. I ended up making twice the dough because I had leftover filling. No need to grease the pan, they came out so easily and so beautiful and so tasty...and they were SO easy to make too!!

It's Chili by George!!

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009
Made it on the stove top, the only changes I made was to used crushed tomatoes instead of tomato juice because I couldn't find tomato juice and I omitted the chili powder because I didn't have any on hand. My husband LOVED it and he is very hard to please. He is the type of person that is often disappointed with restaurant and take out meals. He gave it five stars and took some to work for lunch so I KNOW he loved it.

Monkey Bread I

I scaled this down and used only one tube of biscuits (each cut in fourths) in an 8-in round pan. It was more than enough for 3 people. It was so delicious.

This was ok, not great. I believe the filling is missing something. No wonder so many people had added spinach to it. Good idea.

Cedar Plank Salmon

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009
I love cedar plank salmon. Didn't have a plank so...I baked this in foil packets in the oven. In my opinion, a good quality salmon should not be dressed up with such strong flavors. It was good a good flavor combination but somewhat overpowering.

Easy. Delicious. Very pretty too. Used 1/4c light brown sugar and 1/2c white sugar. Added 1t vanilla extract. Of course, make sure your fruit is ripe, sweet and delicious. That's the key.

Pollo (Chicken) Fricassee from Puerto Rico

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2009
I always add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and instead of red wine I use white wine or cooking wine. Sometimes, when I don't have wine, I use beer and works out great.

Mexican-Style Taco Salad

Reviewed: May 19, 2009
Good basic recipe! I made changes due to what I had on hand and the fact I was not in the mood to cut up so many things. I used a can of Rotel tomatoes with green chiles and added a small can of green chiles - did not drain. Omitted the pepper, and carrots. Used fava beans instead of kidney beans. Omitted the salsa. Added ancho chili powder(with regular chili powder), parsley, garlic, a pinch of salt, dried chives and dried onion to the meat mixture. Plating: corn tortilla chips, lettuce, the meat mixture and then added Mexican cheese, a bit of taco sauce, sour cream and sliced black olives.

Creamy Caramel Flan

Reviewed: May 5, 2009
This is the way my grandma taught me to make flan when I was kid. I do mix all of the ingredients in a blender. It is delicious just the way it is, but sometimes, for a change, I add a jar of Guava Jam or paste, and for Thanksgiving, I add a can of mashed pumpkin to the mix. The kids love it!

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2009
Fractured my foot, in pain, can't walk, alone at home...WHAT DO I EAT??? Hobbled over to the kitchen....well...considering I had to use what was in my fridge I made quite a considerable amount of changes to this recipe. I'm not so sure about the combination of ingredients I have in my fridge! LOL While kneeling on a kitchen chair in front of the stove to keep pressure off my foot, I greased a 9" square baking pan with olive oil and lined the bottom and sides with 2 sliced boiled potatoes. Sprinkled potato with 1/4 tsp: salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkled a little more olive oil over seasoned potato. Placed in oven at 350 and baked until slightly browned (about 20 minutes). Meanwhile, I diced 3 small red onions & 4 garlic cloves and sauteed in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened. Then I stirred in 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms and corn removed from 2 corn on the cobs. Sauteed until tender. Removed from heat, stirred in a handful chopped cilantro. In a large bowl I beat 6 eggs. Beat in 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 tsp paprika & cumino, 1/4 teaspoon: salt, pepper, & crushed oregano. Stirred into 2 cups mozzarella cheese into eggs. Stirred vegetable mixture into eggs. Poured over potatoes. Smoothed out with back of spoon. Topped with slices of tomato. Placed in oven uncovered (wanted liquid from tomato & corn to evaporate). Meanwhile,pureed: 1 avocado, 1 jalapeno, 4 tomatillos, 1/2 lime juiced, pinch salt, pinch ground cumino, 1 small red onion, 2 garlic
