Coconut-Curry Lentil Stew Served over Quinoa

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009
Really excellent recipe. I halved it, but then omitted the water and used the whole can of coconut milk. I added some coconut instead of powder and used green onions. I made my quinoa in my rice maker (2 to 1 water:quinoa) with a broth cube, though I will only use half a broth cube in the future. I also used canned tomatoes that had been run through a processor (I don't like chunks) and only one cup (for the halved recipe, but I could have used more, I suppose). I don't know why someone would say this is flavorless. It's not so hard to add more curry! I just eyeball everything anyway, and maybe I added a bit more molasses, which I really think makes it wonderful. Great recipes, and gluten free!

Homemade Vanilla

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009
The longer the beans steep, the better the vanilla will be. I don't think two beans is going to get much done in several weeks. I use five 6" Bourbon beans (split open) for every 2 cups of vodka, and let it sit for a year, shaking it once a week. Two beans just doesn't cut it.

Sweet Restaurant Slaw

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
Few changes: 1/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup mayo, 1/3 cup Miracle whip. The dressing seems a bit thick once you add the coleslaw, but an hour in the fridge thins it out perfectly!

Ten Minute Enchilada Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
Made this with a few changes: only 1-2 tablespoons of chili powder and doubled the other spices. SO GLAD I cut the chili powder called for. Would have been way too strong! Used the sauce to smother burritos. Yummy!

Jamie's Cranberry Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
I used the recipe for the dressing only. Tossed it with spinach and topped with candied walnuts, cranberries, and mandarins. Tasty!

Lazygirl's Ground Turkey Stroganoff

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
I am giving this 5 stars because I thought this was a great recipe to make when you are in a hurry to make something for dinner and have little time. It was fast and easy and you can add other items to it, such as mushrooms. We had enough for leftovers the next day too and since I was playing tennis 2 days in a row, this was a great recipe to come home too and not worry about what to make. Thanks!

Asian Noodle and Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
I made this for a potluck and it turned out fairly well, but I thought the dressing was missing something, but not sure what. Perhaps a bit of vinegar? Mine turned out a bit dry too because I think I had too much pasta. I used prepackaged carrot slaw instead of having to slice the carrots too. Overall, pretty good, but needs some more tweaking.

Mom's Brussels Sprouts

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009
This was my first foray into brussels sprouts, and I was pleasantly surprised. I definitely have a sweet tooth, so it was bound to be decent, but the way the walnuts and the butter sauce and the sprouts go together was really nice. The only thing I would do differently is to toast the walnuts to bring out their flavor even more.

Gorgonzola Pear Pasta

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009
This will be a five star recipe with a few changes. It would easily serve three people, and if it was part of a whole meal, probably four. Next time I will make the sauce in the pot before adding the pasta back in, just to make things easier. I think it needs an additional pear, so you get the extra bit of sweetness and more contrast of flavors. I will also add an extra tablespoon each of cream and parmesan, for a little more richness. Very tasty and different; it would definitely impress company.

Slow Cooker Fruit, Nuts, and Spice Oatmeal

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009
This turned out pretty well. I only cooked it for six hours, and it was the perfect consistency, but my slow cooker does run hot, so I was expecting that. I had pretty tart apples, so I did add some brown sugar, and I waited to add the nuts until it was time to eat so they wouldn't lose their crunch. You could really alter the fruits, nuts, and spices in this to get a different taste every time. I will be making this more as winter sets in.

Sauteed Apples

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2009
I wanted something to mix into oatmeal, so I cooked these a little longer and broke them up into smaller chunks in the saucepan. Didn't bother to peel the apples, and I followed other reviewers advice and added a dash of nutmeg and a splash of vanilla. Made for some very tasty oatmeal.

Enchilada Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
Excellent sauce. My husband is Mexican and is used to authentic Mexican food and he loved this. We changed the serving size to 6. We used this with "Tacos in Pasta Shells" by grannycancook on Allrecipes. It was the perfect Mexican meal.

Tacos in Pasta Shells

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
We loved this. We used 8oz cream cheese as well as many of the viewers. We also diced up some peppers really small and added it to the meat mixture. We then used an Enchilada Sauce from Allrecipes posted by Anna Marie. That was toooo die for. We changed the serving size of her sauce to 6 servings. It was perfect. Then topped with lettuce, tomato, black olives and sour cream. We might try using Doritoes on the top next time instead of the tortilla chips.

Chicken Scampi II

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2009
I thought this was very good but added extras. I added extra lemon juice, butter and the herbs. I also added white cooking wine. I served this with Asparagas but I think the pasta itself needs any of the following: sauteed peppers, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes and/or capers. I think any of these would give the meal just a little more depth.

Berry Oatmeal Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2009
These were just okay. I think the topping definitely needs to be cut in half. They just seemed bland to me, especially if you got a bit that didn't have any fruit in it.

David's Yellow Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2009
With chocolate frosting, this tasted good. However, all by itself, I thought it was lacking a little in the flavor department. It was nice and moist, and had a nice crumb to it. Before anyone accuses me of comparing it to boxed cake mix, let it be known that I don't particularly like yellow boxed cake mix. I have just had more flavorful from scratch yellow cake.

Easy Morning Glory Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2009
These muffins were much better than I was expecting. They were moist, tender, and very tasty. I made a few small changes. I used half whole wheat, half white flour, replaced most of the oil with applesauce, and used 1 1/2 cups of finely shredded carrots and 2 shredded apples. I also squeezed the juice out of the shredded apples and carrots using a cheesecloth so the batter wouldn't get runny. Perhaps my muffin cups are small, but I got 21 muffins out of this batter, not 12, but I'm not complaining. They should freeze well.

Creamy Chocolate Frosting II

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2009
This was just okay. Too sweet for me, and I have a serious sweet tooth. I would only make it again in an emergency, and then I think I would add another square of chocolate.

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009
Great recipe for the crockpot, I just made this and I think it can also be enjoyed in the summer months too.. makes a lot of leftovers. I think cooking it for 7 hours though seems to be a bit long. I took out the chicken after 5 hours and it all seemed done to me, so not sure why it needs to go back in for 2 more hours. Thanks for recipe.. tastes good.
