Thanksgiving Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009
Thought this was way too sweet, and more like a dessert than a side dish with the crumb topping. It was very sweet and a little tangy, without any depth in flavor or spices. This would've passed more as a sweet potato pie or cobbler. It definitely needed more herbs or spices to make it a side dish. Candied yams have more depth of flavor, in my opinion, and the crumb topping just totally classified the dish as a dessert.

Tofu or Turkey Lasagna with Veggies

So good! and it doesn't leave you feeling heavy after eating which always happens when I have lasagna. It was a great recipe!

Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken)

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
This is excellent! And boy does it make the house smell good. Very full flavored. Serve with a "quiet" rice dish, as the gravy from the chicken provides all the flavor you need.

Deep-Fried Turkey

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
This was the best Thanksgiving turkey we ever had. It was uniformly moist and juicy inside with beautiful firm meat, crackly and brown outside, and not in the least greasy. We will do it again next year!

Maple Walnut Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009
More like 4.5, but I digress. Did this with real roasted pumpkin and a homemade graham cracker crust and it turned out great. I would love to find a way to substitute real maple for the imitation (which is all my grocery store has) because the flavor came through as a little artificial. I think with that small change, this attempt could have been much improved. Even still, on the first attempt it won my work's pumpkin pie contest! The topping was a great addition, definitely don't pass on that. Would definitely make again!

Hearty Ham Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2009
This needs something more, it's a bit bland. I added marjoram like others suggested, and probably should have added some garlic. Frozen cubed potatoes would have made this easier.

Chicken with Cranberries

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
This was super tasty! I was worried about adding the chicken into the "cranberry sauce" becuase at the 5 min mark it still looked more like water and cranberries, so we let it cook uncovered for a few more minutes and it definitely started to thicken up. Then we followed the recipe again from there. We also amazingly enough did not have flour and so we used bread crumbs instead, worked fine for us!

Philadelphia Style Butter Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2009
While this is very good, I cannot give it 5 stars because it is quite different than authentic butter cake from Philadelphia. The true thing has a much thinner crust and a much gooey-er top layer. You should have to eat it with a spoon.

Slow Cooker Mediterranean Stew

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009
This recipe didn't really work for me as it was. I used all of the vegetables in the recipe, but exchanged the tomato/sauce for a can of petite diced tomatoes. The consistency was fine (cooked on low 5-6 hours), but the seasoning was SO BLAND. I came home from work to my roommates complaining about the boring crock-pot dinner I'd left them with. After about doubling all of the seasoning and adding some sugar, it was much better. It's also been better as leftovers. Would make again, but definitely need to adjust the seasoning.

Fantastic Black Bean Chili

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
Very simple and can be altered to fit your liking. Exactly my type of recipe! Added jalapenos, cumin and topped with pepper jack cheese. Add made corn bread. Of course.

English Muffin Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009
Very good bread! And it is super easy and much faster than any other yeast breads I've done in the past. I needed to have an even quicker cooking time so I spooned the batter into 2 muffin tins (24 muffins total) and baked for just 15 minutes, so the whole thing took just over an hour. The muffins worked beautifully. I sprinkled cornmeal on the bottom and top. Next time I want to try different variations of this recipe as well, maybe some whole wheat flour, cinnamon or some oatbran. But really good! Especially for not having any fat.

Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009
Very yummy. Only complaint is that the first few pieces ended up with way more garlic than the pieces at the end. Suggest just sprinkling the minced garlic after the chick is in the pan for more even seasoning.

Gary's Stuffed Mushrooms

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009
Very tasty. Recipe needs to NOTE that mushroom stems need to be reserved. Do not need as much melted butter as indicated. Can absorb a lot of red pepper/black pepper/other seasonings successfully. Will also make a good dip for crackers or celery, perhaps with a bit less stuffing mix.

Grilled Salmon Steaks with Savory Blueberry Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2009
This was something very fun and different to try with salmon. I took special care to reduce the sauce to the proper consistency and allow the vinegar to mellow and let the blueberries come through--which they did. Though the sauce was delicious and I would definitely try it again, it did seem to be lacking a bit of body. The flavor pops on the top of the palate, but then dissipates pretty quickly with little to savor... not sure how to remedy that but it is a problem I wouldn't mind solving. Served with grilled zucchini and corn on the cob and homemade baking powder biscuits. The roommates loved the sauce on the biscuits as well.

Zucchini Corn Fritters

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2009
These were very good, but I think they needed more spice or a sauce topping to go with it. They did absorb a lot of oil, but I don't think anyone expected something fried to be healthy. My batter was initially very doughy before adding the vegetables but became quite watery afterwards, which worried me, but it turned out fine b/c they flatten to make easy silver dollar pancakes. I used whole wheat flour which tends to be drier, but with all the oil and veggies it turned out fine. I actually used a little more than 2 cups of zucchini and a whole can of corn. I think it could've used more zucchini. I'll definitely make this again w/ some tweaks.

Molasses Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009
Ginger/molasses cookies are one of my very favorite treats, and I work at a bakery that has really good ones. I am still in search of a recipe that can compete with those, and these aren't bad. I did follow the advice of a few reviewers and halved the soda, and doubled the spices. I think next time I will definitely think about tripling the spices, especially the ginger. I also used melted,unsalted butter which worked great after chilling the dough in the fridge, and baked for 7-8 minutes for a cracked but moist chewy cookie. Will definitely try again.

Chicken and Black Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009
I made this in a slow cooker and then used it as a filling for flour tortillas. I left off the spicy stuff and added chili pepper as needed. This was a bit liquidy, but that was to be expected since I made some modifications.

Fiery Fish Tacos with Crunchy Corn Salsa

Reviewed: May 18, 2009
The salsa was lovely to look at, but was a little bland. I think cooking the corn and adding black beans would be great, as was suggested. We adjusted the seasoning considerably and it was still plenty hot! The salsa takes a while to prepare, so we might not make this very often, but it is a very yummy fish taco.

Crispy Catfish

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2009
Loved this! We also soaked the fish in milk for 15 minutes before breading, and grilled on foil to avoid sticking and it worked great. Fish was moist, tender, and rich. Even the roommate who hates fish liked it, always a good sign. Thanks!
