Curried Chicken with Mango Rice

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009
Good simple weeknight meal. I used brown rice (all I had) so my cook time was longer. Also added half a red onion to the rice and some grated ginger. I marinated some shrimp in sirracha and white wine and sautéed separately since they would be overcooked if cooked with the rice. Will try again with chicken. Definiately marinate the protein otherwise it could be a bit bland.

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
Very good. Biggest complaint is that it makes waaaay more than 12 5inch pancakes. I got 12 pancakes plus 6 4 inch waffles. Took another reviewers advice and started making waffles (which were very good) so I could be done with brunch in time for dinner. But the taste and texture were great!

Easy Focaccia

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
Very good. Didin't add parm to make it for vegan friends, will if it's just us in the future. Only problem was it really didn't rise well, either the first or second times. My yeast are getting older, maybe that was the problem. I will definitely make again. Went well with bruschetta and pesto dips, or on its own.. Update: made again just as above and it rose great, since I found out my water had been too hot and killed my yeast. Turned down the water heater after I found that our

Buttermilk Pound Cake II

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009
ohh yeah! I switched up one cup of flour for whole wheat (we are "healthy" here) and used 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup splenda for baking and 1/2 cup regular sugar and it was delicious. Even after I forgot the baking soda it still was yummy and rose a bit. Will make again and again and. . ..

Thai Red Chicken Curry

Very good. I marinated the chicken in low sodium soy sauce, garlic, ginger, b pepper for about an hour before cooking it. Used pea pods instead of zucchini and it was very nice and quick dinner. Served over brown jamsmine rice

Creamy Black Bean Dip

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009
I had some leftover home cooked black beans to use up. Another recipe I saw somewhere called for about half a cup of salsa with the blended beans, which I thought was a pretty close approximation to your recipe and it worked out very easy. Added a squeeze of lime to up the acid and a bit more garlic. Might not look pretty but sure tastes great.

Grilled Salmon Fillets with a Lemon, Tarragon, and Garlic Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2009
Yum! Loved the sauce and I don't really like mustard or mayo (DH picked out recipe) but it went great with the fish. One tiny change, used lime instead of lemon and thyme instead of tarragon, since didn't have the others in the house. Think I want to try the sauce again with a bit of dill. Also think the sauce would go great with crabcakes. Getting hungry again. . .

Grilled Shrimp Scampi

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2009
Excellent! I added a bit of white wine and more garlic. I had the jumbo shrimp and only marinated for 30 minutes. Maybe good for smaller shrimp, but next time I will leave in for at least an hour

Brazilian Lemonade

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2009
Cool and refreshing. Like other reviewers substitued 1 cup of citrus rum for one of the cups of water. I can't stand straining things so I zested the limes and then juiced them really well, and I used 3 of them. Instead of the sweetened condensed milk I had to use half and half since was out. And since my blender is wimpy I served the drink "on the rocks". Perfect after a hard afternoon of yardwork. . . or reading a book. . . or whatever

Lemon Garlic Tilapia

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2009
I made this for my fiance and we both thought this was amazing! Neither one of us is a big fish lover, but the fish turned out so tasty. I omitted the parsley and used fresh dill instead which added a nice bit of flavor. I agree with previous posters about the cook time. I cooked it for 25 mins at 375 and the fatter side of the fillet was very juicy but the thin side was dry. Next time I will cut the cook time down.

Grilled Yellow Squash

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2009
I don't own a grill so I baked these in my oven using aluminum foil instead. I added zucchini to the mix as well and they both turned out great! I couldn't taste the garlic too much, but even still this was delicious! This will be my go to recipe for yellow squash from now on!

Blueberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake I

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2009
Love this recipe! I used butter instead of oil and added a 1/4 cup plain yogurt for moistness and used a full pint of blueberries. I had to bake it about 10 minutes longer than the recipe called for but I think that was due to my changes. The girls at work ate it up and DH said it was like a giant dessert blueberry muffin.

Mango Salsa

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009
Very easy to make and able to adapt for what I have at home. I used a white onion instead of green (not at home) and I didn't have any red pepper so that didn't go in either. I added a clove of minced garlic as well since everything is better with garlic. It went great with pan seared mahi mahi and rice.

Rosemary Pesto-Crusted Lamb Steaks

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009
I am guilty I changed the recipe but it still was GREAT! Really wanted to grill some beef strip steaks so I left out the bread crumbs and made a seasoned butter-pesto which I put on top of the grilled steaks. I figured if I tried to grill with the crust on it I wouldn't have a deck left. Can't wait to try it with lamb sometime soon too, and I'll try it then the way it was written. Thank you!

Slow Cooker Italian Beef for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2009
Easy and yummy! I used the italian dressing mix recipe from this site and dumped that and all the other seasonings into a bowl and made a mini rub for the sirloin roast I had and let that stand for 10 minutes before into the slow cooker. I did mine on high for the first hour or so and then low for another 6 or so. I tried to pull the meat out to shred it and it fell apart, so I just took tongs and shredded/pulled it apart in the crock pot, and put the whole crock pot out with tongs for people to grab right out of the juice. Good rolls/buns and hot peppers with provolone make it even better.

Meatiest Vegetarian Chili from your Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2009
Made this for a party with vegans and meat lovers in the crowd and everybody went crazy for it. I followed the recipe pretty closely just changing for what was at home (2 cans of pinto beans and 1 can of black) and 2 minced jalapenos and a teaspoon of hot sauce. Makes a HUGE pot of chili. I did it in my enameled dutch oven as my slow cooker was busy with the "slow cooker italian beef for sandwiches" from this site (also very yummy)

Easy Vodka Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2009
This has become one of the most requested meals from my fiance. It is so simple and delicious we can't stop eating it! Like a few others have suggested, let it cook for the full time it says. It really makes a difference in the flavors.

Cheese Garlic Biscuits II

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2009
Used half whole wheat/half regular flour to make them "healthier". Also used a mexican shredded cheese blend since I had it in the fridge. Used buttermilk instead of regular milk for tang and added garlic powder and black pepper to the batter instead of on top. Joked with DH after that we needed to throw the leftovers to the neighbors dogs to keep us from eating the whole batch since I didn't think I could safely hide them in the house. They were tooooooo good!

Green and Red Tomato and Corn Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2009
We have friends who are vegans, and they loved this soup just as much as we did (and we like a bit of meat with our meals) I added a chopped leek (was in the fridge) and tomatillos since green tomatoes are a seasonal item here in MN. I also used canned tomatoes instead of fresh and frozen corn instead of fresh. The weather dudes are talking inches of snow tonight. . . fresh is what is on hand. I also added a can of black beans per another reviewer and I added some chopped jalapeno since most reviewers recommend more heat. The jalapeno gave just enough for heat for those with milder palates, but some of us added a dash of hot sauce too. Thank you for this idea. A taste of summer in the winter.
