Slimmed-Down Potato Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

This salad is flawless. I don't like mayonaise potatoe salad, but this one is light and delicious. I can't taste the tofu! It literally tastes like I used cream instead of tofu. Very good. Will make regularly from now on!

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

Where have these been all my life???? I have never heard of snickerdoodles before!!! I made these on Saturday - one batch and it made about 5 dozen cookies, it is now Monday morning and they are all gone!!! :) hubby and Jr absolutely hoovered them up! Thanks for the great recipe! Didn't change a thing and very easy to make...although I wonder why the cream of tartar is in them...I can't figure out it's purpose....

Brazilian White Rice

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

I made this rice to along with salmon last night and the end result was really good. I used half chicken broth, half water, but that is the only change I made to the recipe. The end result is nice, fluffy rice that does not stick together. The flavour was very subtle - it's really a nice switch from plain white rice.

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

I knew it had to be excellent to have so many good reviews. The only thing I changed was the diced tomatoes with green chilies - I can't for the life of me find these in CDN grocery stores, so I used a chunky salsa - still tasted great! I added sour cream, cheese and minced jalapeños. YUM. Oh, I also shortened my cooking time - 2 hours on high, 3 on low and in the last hour I shredded the chicken which fell apart basically on its own. Thanks for a great hearty and healthy recipe!

Grandma's Gingersnaps

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

Great cookie! I baked for 12 minutes and they came out crispy but not crumbly. One problem, too much salt! I'd reduce down to 1/8 tsp instead of 1/2 next time I make these. The raw dough was a bit salty but I thought after rolling in sugar and baking this would go away, but it didn't. Still really good though!

Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Delight

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

A very delicious dessert in under 5 minutes - how can you go wrong? Instead of microwaving these, I rolled mine (being sure to tuck in the ends) and fried in a bit of butter. Apart from the rolls unfolding a little when I turned them (I had to use a toothpick in each to keep them together), they turned out perfectly. Crispy and sweet, super yummy and very fast...we will definitely make these again.

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

I made this for dinner for my family tonight and we all liked it a lot. It's got to be good when the 2 and 4 year old kids ask for seconds. I followed the recipe exactly with exception to the wine - I used 1 tsp of white wine vinegar and added 1 Tbsp of water to off-set the vinegar. I also added about 2 Tbsp of honey instead of 1. I served this with "Brazilian White Rice" from this site along with the salmon - the end result was delicious.

Barley Broccoli Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

Excellent soup. Rather disconcertingly, the color changed to a light tan, instead of staying green. I used skim milk powder, reconstituted (to re make it lower calorie), and omitted the bacon.

Classic Tiramisu

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

This is definitely a classic recipe. I have been making this recipe for the past 20 years. It is the only one that my family and friends ask me to make over and over again. Simple ingredients. I let my eggs stand outside the fridge for a couple of hours before I separate them so that I don't have to put them over the double boiler. I add my alcohol to the coffee so that I dip each cookie into the liquid with both flavourings. Truly a wonderful recipe.

Unbelievable Spinach Calzones

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

I really waned to like these, but I found them nothing special. I made them using the whole wheat and honey pizza dough recipe from this site instead of the canned dough the recipe calls for, but I doubt it made that much difference. I don't think I'll make these again.

Greek Garlic-Lemon Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

These potatoes are definitely a "go to" for our family. We prefer rosemary to the oregano, and I use chicken broth as suggested by another review instead of the water, without adding any additional salt. What a great recipe, thank you!

Apple Glazed Pork Chops

These pork chops were tasty. I took other reviewers suggestions and added only half of the package of onion soup mix and added some cinnamon to the apple sauce.
