Korean Cucumber Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009
This was pretty good! The vinegar was pretty strong but I guess that's the way it's supposed to be. We served this with bulgogi and kimchee. Nice dinner!

Halibut Steaks

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2009
These were really good! Very fresh and healthy. I used grouper filets instead of halibut with nice results.

Broccoli Chicken Casserole I

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
I'm eating this right now. It's very good! I adapted it just a little bit. I boiled the chicken in vegetable broth (would have gone with chicken broth, but I didn't have any on hand). I used 2 cans of the mushroom soup and as another reviewer suggested, substituted 3/4 cup of milk for the mayo. I mixed salt, lots of pepper, a pinch of ginger and a teaspoon of paprika (also suggested by another reviewer). I used garlic herb bread crumbs instead of stuffing because that's what I had. This is really great. What I like most about it is that it's easy to make, and so adaptable. Next time I might include peas and carrots as well. Thanks for the recipe!

Coconut Cranberry Bars

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
These bars were pretty good. Next time, I would use less than the whole can of sweetened condensed milk - I thought it had a strong, unpleasant flavor in parts of the bar where it was poured on thicker. I used both white and semi-sweet chocolate, which was very good. I think it would be interesting to experiment with a pretzel crust.

Leslie's Broccoli, Wild Rice, and Mushroom Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
This stuffing was very good! My only suggestion is to use a little more chicken broth. Some of the stuffing was still crunchy. Other than that it was great. I used a rice blend with Texmati, Red and Wild rice which was nice.

Pumpkin Waffles with Apple Cider Syrup

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
A festive holiday treat. The waffles are in need of a little more sugar and spice. I added 1/4 cup of agave syrup, and decreased the milk by 1/4 cup. I used whole wheat pastry flour and replaced the butter with about 1/8 cup canola oil. Out of necessity, I had to replace some of the pumpkin with roasted sweet potato. If you have problems with the waffles tearing apart when you open the lid, try turning down the temperature and cooking for longer; I've also found that Pam for Grilling spray works better than regular cooking spray.

Blueberry Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009
So good! Everyone that tried it over Thanksgiving liked it. I used 5 cups of blueberries and 6 tablespoons of corn starch like someone suggested and it was great!

Fruited Cranberry Relish

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009
I used a 6-ounce can of drained mandarin oranges and a peeled golden delicious apple. I like tart cranberries, so omitted the sugar completely - tasted remarkably like grapefruit - I would probably use the full amount of sugar if serving this to anyone else. Thanks for sharing, Ruth!

Louisiana Sweet Potato Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
These were pretty good. Will probably make again. The only modifications I'd make: this time I used nonfat milk. Next time I'd use at least 2%. That was my own fault. They were a little dull with the nonfat. As for changing the original recipe, I think next time I'll add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the mix!

Kielbasa and Cabbage II

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2009
MMMM. So good. I used turkey kielbasa instead of regular because it is so much healthier for you. So good! I love cabbage and kielbasa! I served this over whole wheat egg noodles for a complete meal. Delicious!

Mediterranean Potato Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
OMG so good! This will be my go-to potato salad from now on. So much healthier than mayo based potato salads! This was absolutely delicious. I didn't have tomatoes so those were omitted. I also used regular balsamic vinegar instead of white balsamic vinegar. I really can't say enough about this salad! One tip: I always overcook my potatoes when I boil them, so I cubed them and roasted them in some olive oil at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes and they were perfect. Because I used olive oil to roast, I cut the oil in the dressing by a tablespoon. I will probably use even less next time. There will definitely be many next times!!!

BBQ Country Style Ribs

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
I used this cooking method, but did my ribs dry so we could dip in a carolina style sauce. This method makes great, tender ribs.

Eggplant Parmesan II

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
Excellent! I fixed it tonight and I'm eating it right now. I made angel hair pasta and am eating it topped with the eggplant parmesan. There are a couple changes I'll make next time, though. 1) I will sweat the eggplant, as suggested by others. 2) I will also bake the eggplant longer in the beginning. Perhaps 7-8 minutes on each side. This is a wonderful recipe and I will definitely be using it again!

Strawberry Trifle

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
Everyone that tried this liked it a lot! I halved the recipe and it worked well. I used a pre-made pound cake instead of angel food, and fresh strawberries. Light and fresh!

Roasted Beets and Sauteed Beet Greens

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
Simple, clean, and very tasty! Next time I might add some herbs. This time, I took another reviewer's suggestion and roasted the beats with carrots. I also roasted some garlic cloves along with it. Very, very good! Will definitely be making this on a regular basis.

Curry Pumpkin Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
It was OK. I will probably make it again, but I will most likely omit the sugar. I used red curry, which was the best part of the soup because I enjoy spicy foods! Anyway, this was easy to make, with inexpensive ingredients, and very healthy!

Katie's Chicken and Broccoli Pasta

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
Really needs "more"... used 1.5 lbs chicken, seasoned with montreal chicken seasoning, and cooked it in the oil with zest and juice of one lemon. Added onion and garlic with the veggies, as well as 8 ounces fresh mushrooms and one yellow bell pepper. Instead of water I used broth. I used a pound of orzo instead of penne, mixed it all together, tasted it, found it still too bland. I added fresh ground pepper and garlic salt which helped immensely. The three stars I gave were for the original recipe. Terribly bland without my additions, but with them, it's 4 stars. Healthy, too.
