Balsamic Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

great- i was surprised- i thought it would be more tart- but the sugar melded out the flavors quite nicely- i did add more garlic and a touch more sugar.

We skip the sugar so it isn't too sweet, but we have always loved this recipe.

Great flavor, and lots of left-over sauce that I use later. I baked the chicken instead of doing it in a crock-pot, as someone suggested, and it turned out really good. I also didn't have green onions so I used white ones, and added fresh sliced mushrooms to the mix as someone suggested.

Teriyaki Chicken for the Busy Cook

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008

This looks too simple to be any good, but it is! The recipe works really well, and my sceptical husband couldn't believe how good this chicken turned out. Only make sure that you use the meaty parts of chicken with the skin still on - I once tried to substitute skinless chicken breast and it didn't work at all.

Perfect Lemon Curd

Reviewed: May 26, 2008

This was the first time I've ever made a lemon curd, and it was spectacular. I love lemon desserts, mind you, but this is so quick and requires minimal ingredients; it would be easy to whip together if you had unexpected guests. It's lovely cold or hot off the stove. I sprinkled mine with confectioner's sugar to match some of that tartness.

Cheese Fondue

Reviewed: May 26, 2008

This is a splendid, easy cheese fondue. I find that the taste can vary easily depending on the wine used; I use a local Chateau St. Michelle and it bring out a lovely flavor. Next time, I plan on throwing in some English cheddar as well, for an extra cheesey umph.

Texas Ranch Potato Salad

Reviewed: May 26, 2008

My boyfriend got tired of the same-old mustard potato salad I've made for years, so for Memorial Day I tried this recipe. While it was a nice change of pace, we found it a bit too ranchy for our own tastes, so we ended up adding mustard, Hungarian paprika, chives, salt and pepper making it like a regular mustard potato salad with a ranch kick. I also left the skins on for the color and nutrients. Our end recipe was beautiful with yellow, green and red. My advice to anyone trying this recipe would be to slowly add in the ranch with the mayo; I just dumped the whole thing in at once when I should have known better. This recipe has a great taste concept that is different from your run-of-the-mill potato salads while still staying a bit more traditional.

Honey-Orange Marinated Salmon

Reviewed: May 16, 2008

great easy weeknight recipe- i marinated for 1.5 hours- more than enough- added 2 cloves of minced garlic and increased the OJ by a dash and decresed the soy sauce by a smidge... reduced the marinating sauce for 7 min on boil with 1 tsp of cornstarch- strained and served on the side. instead of grilling, i usually pan fry my salmon for 3 min on each side.
