Barbecued Beef Ribs for Two

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009
Great sauce and cooking technique as pointed out by many reviewers. The only things I did differently, I used thick boneless ribs and after boiling them, I trimmed the excess fat on the sides. For the chili powder I divided it between one tsp of Mexican-Style Chili powder and 1 tsp of Ancho Chili powder. I added about 1 tbsp of smoked paprika powder and about 2 tbs of molasses. Omitted hot sauce and threw in a couple of dashes of Cayenne pepper. (Doubled the sauce).

Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
Very good!! Just finished making this. I wish I had used less than 1/2 of one packet of chicken bouillon seasoning, it came out a bit salty. I also used heavy cream, a can of tomatoes with green chilies, 2 small stalks of celery, frozen corn instead of cream corn, 2 slices of American cheese sandwich slices, and two small diced up potatoes. A very tasty recipe, and a very forgiving one if you do not have all or the exact ingredients. Next time, I will use less chicken bouillon. If you have small kiddies, test the spicey-ness before throwing items in i.e. hot pepper sauce, green chilies, etc!! Recommend!!

Easy Tuna Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
5 stars for simplicity and I liked the idea of using french fried onions since I was out of bread crumbs. Alterations: I had no cheese but I did have two boxes of mac-n-cheese. Added some chives, celery, pepper, and parsley. That was it. Thank you, because my boys who are 6 and 4 years in age give me daily grief when it comes to meals, they hate this!! ;)

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!

Tracy's Tomato Artichoke Rice Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009
Made changes. Used green onion b/c that was all I had. When cooking the rice I added some Oregano, Parsley, Garlic, Nutmeg and Salt. I also cooked fresh mushrooms with the rice. The can of artichokes that I had came in water so I added olive oil to the mix instead of using the "artichoke marinade." When combining the ingredients I added more Oregano, Parsley, Nutmeg, Salt, etc. Then added a can of garbanzos and poppy seed. Colorful and tasty.

Pasta e Fagioli a la Chez Ivano

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2008
Wonderful the day after too! Added anaheim and ancho (poblano) peppers, mushrooms and carrots and a bit of red wine. I would classify this as a stew. A very hearty meal.

The Best Vegetarian Chili in the World

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
Very good. I wish I had all the ingredients on hand, but despite this, the chili came out great. What I was missing: green pepper, fresh jalapeno, chili powder and veg. meat. First, after reading many reviews, I halved the recipe. Still a lot of food for 4 people. Changes: I cut up 13 Little Smokies, and three pieces of bacon and sauteed that with the 1/4 of an onion and 3 small celery stalks. I added the spices along with paprika, parsley and chives. Then I added a small can of mushrooms. Then I added the entire can of green chili's (no draining). Con't to saute. Then I added an entire can of garbanzo beans (I do not care for kidney beans), 1/4 can of red kidney and 1/2 can of black beans. Made my own chili spice, (can look up on the web) and added jalapeno flakes (very few) and some red pepper too. Also added 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1 small can of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of water and a couple tbs of red wine. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!

Libby's® Famous Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2008
I made this today, the day before Thanksgiving because it was my first time. I added about 2 tbs of flour and about 1.5 tsp of molasses, and a bit of nutmeg. My kids loved it, especially my three year old. Note: It did take longer to cook/set.

Parsley Spinach Chicken Stew

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2008
I am giving this 5 stars but I changed it a bit. Added a bay leaf, used left over chicken that had been seasoned with Rosemary, omitted the potato, added celery, carrots, paprika instead of tumeric, a tad more spinach, omitted the lemon because I had already cooked the chicken with lemon and lemon zest earlier, added more tomato paste and then more water and white wine. Cooked for 20 minutes and it came out very tasty.

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2008
Not bad, but I doctored it a bit. Used a can of seasoned tomatoes. Added shallots, diced ham, celery, can of mushrooms, some diced black olives, parsley, diced onion, some frozen peas. Definitely a poor man's or woman's meal. Very quick too.

Quick and Simple Broccoli and Cheese

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2008
Got what I was looking for. Simple, easy and quick. Less than ten minutes. Used steam in a bag broccoli and cooked it less than called for by 1 and 1/2 minutes. Lightly seasoned with sea salt and black pepper and a little bit of lemon juice. Then, topped with the cheese. No complaints!!

THE Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2008
Very good. Alterations: Did not have swiss cheese, onions, scallions, or frozen peas. Substitutes: Pepperjack in moderation and parmesan. Frozen corn for frozen peas, chives and dried onion for fresh onion and scallions. Other, more paprika, parsley, shaved carrot, bacon bits and sliced black olives. Lastly, less mayo and more sour cream.

Spanish Rice II

Pretty good. I used brown rice, boil-in-bag. Boiled the rice in chicken broth then in the skillet I sauteed the onion, etc. Added the tomatoes and then omitted the salt. Pretty tasty.

Home-Style Brown Rice Pilaf

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2008
Very good combination despite not following the recipe exactly. Used boil-in-bag brown rice and then in a skillet, I sauteed fancy snow peas and sesame seeds. Did not have mushrooms. Then tossed together and then added green olives then I salted as necessary. Oh, I almost forgot, a pinch of basil too. Thank you!!

Southwestern Hominy

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2008
Five starts for quick and easy!! Made this with diced chicken: olive oil, cilantro, parsley, sage, paprika, lemon pepper, sea salt, garlic and onion powder. Added to the main recipe: paprika, cilantro, shallots and a huge dollop (about 2 tablespoons) of sour cream to the mix before placing it into the oven. I also diced up some celery with the onion to give it more color and texture. I used less green chili (about 1 tablespoon) due to small children. Came out fine. One could probably cook this on the stove alone rather than baking. Will certainly make again.

Black Bean, Corn and Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2008
This is pretty good. Did not use as much chili powder as the recipe called for. Used half of a 15 oz can of black beans and about 3/4 of a 15 oz can of white beans, drained and rinsed. Used home made salsa and about a half cup more than the recipe originally called for. Used brown sugar as well. Easy and quick.
