Left Bank Apple Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009
This was easy to make but I didn't find it all too flavorful. I think if the nuts were candied it would be better.

Curry Beef Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
Delicious and easy! We used chicken and reduced the tomatoes to only 2 and tripled the curry. Thanks for the recipe - my husband and I had a nice time cooking & eating together!

Chicken Potpie

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009
This was great! The process was a little longer than I like but very worth it! My husband said it was the best pot pie he had ever tasted. I will certainly make it again.... the recipe is perfect just as written.

Fish Fillets with Stuffing

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2009
I used 3 fresh catfish fillets and decided to bake rather than microwave based on other user reviews. I also added 1/2c diced zucchini to the stuffing. It came out rather bland (I'm used to more flavor); I added some lemon juice, garlic salt, and marinated artichoke hearts after the dish was complete and thought it tasted much bettter. Good idea for a recipe, just needs more flavor.

Butter Bean Burgers

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2009
I didn't have jalapenos on hand, but I used 1 onion, 1 leek (left over from another recipe), and 5 cloves of garlic. (I also doubled the recipe) I sauteed the onion, leek, and garlic in 2 tbsp margarine until soft and then mixed in with all other ingredients. I made the burgers thin and served on fresh potato bread rolls with fat free Miracle Whip, red onion, and tomato, german potato salad, and corn on the cob. Doubling the recipe made enough burgers for me to freeze about 6 and have another 6 on hand for the next few days. Will definitely make again. Thank you so much for this recipe.

Hot German Potato Salad III

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2009
This was fantastic. I'm really trying to cut back on fat and meat, so I eliminated the bacon and sauteed the onions in a small amount of hearth-healthy margarine instead. To add the bacon flavor, I used a few shakes of Bacos (not made of meat, low sodium, no fat)after the salad was already made. I made the sauce all at once; mixed the dry ingredients in a bowl, added the water and vinegar, and cooked all together until it boiled. I used golden potatoes (some fell apart, but still good), mixed the sauce in, and let it sit for a few hours at room temperature. Sprinkled the Bacos on after mixing together. Friend absolutely raved about it. Thank you, Tricia!

Mushroom-Stuffed Chicken Breasts in a Balsamic Pan Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009
I tweaked this recipe a lot, but it turned out absolutely fabulous. 1) I had no dried mushrooms, but one pound of fresh. I put the fresh mushrooms, the garlic, 1/2 very large zucchini, and some chicken stock into the blender (added just enough chicken stock to enable the blender blades to move and mince the ingredients) 2) I made the sauce before basting. I used 1/3c balsamic, 1/3c honey, 1/8c chicken stock, splash of thyme, splash of savory, splash of orange juice, and garlic powder to taste. 3) I thinly sliced one scallion and one stalk of celery and sauteed them in 1 tbsp of olive oil. 4) I added the scallions and celery to the stuffing mix 5) I used skinless chicken breasts, just cut them in half lengthwise and stuffed them 6) I drizzled 1/2 of the sauce on top of them, ensuring the celery and onions were left on top of the breasts 7) I baked them at 400 for 35 minutes, checking often 8) I took some of the reserve sauce, boiled, removed 2 tbsp, and added 1 tsp cornstarch. 9) Added the cornstarch-mix back to the original extra sauce and let it simmer until thick 10) spooned the thickened sauce over the stuffed breasts when served 11) served with mashed potatoes and salad. It turned out fabulously. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!

Tomato, Cucumber and Red Onion Salad with Mint

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2009
I made the recipe with 2 cucumbers, 1/2 the red onion, and 2 tomatoes. All other ingredients the same. I didn't have mint (forgot it at the store), but decided to make it anyway. I thought it was absolutely delicious. I added some crumbled feta cheese on top and was in heaven! it is such an easy recipe and soooo delicious, even without the mint. Some reviewers said it was too "vinegary"; in my opinion it was just right. Thank you for the awesome recipe!

Shrimp Scampi V

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009
Like many other reviewers, it seemed a bit bland when it was done. I used 2 cloves extra garlic and Pinot Grigio (full amount). I ended up adding 4 TBSP lemon juice (all I had) and a dash of garlic salt. I think red pepper flakes would also enhance this more. It came out great with the addition of lemon juice; I would have added a bit more had I had it. Good base dish, as another reviewer said!

Famous Chicken Adobo

Reviewed: May 10, 2009
Another person said that chicken breasts dry out too quickly and make awful leftovers. All I had was chicken breasts and decided to try it anyway because it sounded so delicious. It turned out to be a marvelous dish just using breasts! I used 2/3c soy sauce, 2/3c white vinegar, and 1/3c water, and added fresh green peppers, fresh musrooms, sundried tomatoes, and fresh green beans. Served over brown rice with warm sourdough bread and salad. It was nice and saucy, and a perfect meal. I also thought the flavors blended nicely together, no overwhelming taste of vinegar or soy sauce. Thank you for this wonderful submission!

Parsnip Chips

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2009
I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and simply peeled and sliced the parsnips, tossed them in about 1 tbsp of olive oil, and sprinkled with cayenne, salt, and pepper. I baked them at 375 approximately 10-15 minutes (turning once). They are FABULOUS. The sweet taste of the parsnip melds beautifully with the cayenne and salt. I will definitely buy a larger amount of parsnips next time and make a big batch to keep around for snacks. Much better than potato chips!

Soft Sugar Cookies V

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008
These cookies were nice and soft, pretty good all around. I did have to add more flour. They tasted like egg nog, which was good but a little over powering.

Sugared Rhubarb Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2008
These muffins were very good. I made a double batch and made large muffins. They were very good but quite white and insipid looking. I have made them again and twisted the recipe a bit and like the looks of them much more. Thanks for the delicious recipe.

Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2008
This was my first try at hummus and it didn't turn out too great. It either had too much garlic (I used what the recipe stated) or my garlic was bad? The consistency was too thick and the taste just wasn't very good. I'm not sure I'll make this again.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2008
This was my first ever attempt at banana bread and it turned out great! Like some other reviewers I made jumbo muffins, added cinnamon (1 tsp - could've used more) and a splash of almond extract (I didn't have vanilla on hand but I will use vanilla next time). My husband who has won blue ribbons at some county fairs for his banana bread thought mine was pretty good. I liked how easy it was and that the ingredients were simple.

New York Cheesecake III

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2007
This was a favorite when I made it for Thanksgiving. Instead of cream, I sub sour cream and added a little bit of Vanilla. I didnt have any problems with it cracking even with not taking the time to let the ingredients warm up to room temp. The crust was a little too thick for our taste. It was very easy to make, and will be making it again.
