Chicken, Spinach, and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2008
I liked this one. I tried it with white rice. I served some rice on a bowl, then I served the soup on top and it tasted really good.

Simple Whole Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2008
I didn't like the way it turned out. It was too dry and it had more cinnamon flavor than the other ingredients.

Broccoli with Garlic Butter and Cashews

Reviewed: May 2, 2008
Absolutely the best broccoli I ever ate, and I'm a broccoli lover. My husband's lukewarm on broccoli, but he liked this very much, too. I left off the nuts because one of the people I was serving has a problem with them--and we never even missed them. Delicious!

Marinated Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed: May 2, 2008
Fabulous shrimp! If you like spicy, then increase the cayenne and/or toss in a little hot sauce. It wasn't quite spicy enough for my taste, but I was making it for some extremely tender-palated people. Next time I'm spicing it up!

Microwave Lemon Curd

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2008
Holy crow, this is good stuff! I had a spoonful left in the bowl after I filled my little pots, so I took a taste and almost swooned, it's so lemony and buttery and delicious! If you love lemony flavors, go find the Lemon Yogurt Muffin recipe here, and then make some of this to spoon over a muffin. Yum!

Lemon Yogurt Muffins

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008
I made this recipe using the juice and zest of a whole lemon, and omitting the glaze (delicious as it sounds) in the interest of cutting down the sugar content just a little. Even without the glaze, these are delightful muffins! I also used lemon yogurt supplemented with a bit of plain yogurt to make the full cup required. They have a light lemony taste and a light moist texture--excellent recipe, thanks!

Cream of Broccoli Soup III

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2008
This is a really fresh-tasting, good for you soup! I used slightly less chicken broth and milk than called for, and added two small red-skin potatoes that I had left over. Then at the end I stirred in about 1/4 cup of finely shredded parmesan, and about 1/2 cup of finely shredded mozzarella. Quite good!

Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2008
After reading the reviews here, I added a teaspoon each of basil and oregano to the cheese sauce/broccoli mixture, and about 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder. I also added a clove of crushed garlic to the chicken/onion mixture as it cooked, and used about 1/2 cup of onion instead of 1/4 cup. It tasted good!

Teriyaki Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2008
Overall, I think is a great recipe.I really did not make any changes; although, I did not feel the need to use 3 cloves of garlic so I only used 1. The taste was great, and will make this recipe again.

Champagne Cake I

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2008
I looked at all the "white cake" recipes on here and all the reviews and decided to try this one. I just happened to have a left over bottle of champagne from my New Year's Eve wedding(2007). Instead of using plain bubbly, my absolute favorite is Rosa Regale. It's a raspberry flavored champagne. I did use 1 cup of it instead of 3/4 and I use egg whites only for everything so I buy the cartons. I used 1 cup of egg whites. It didn't peak as stiffly as I wanted it to at all but this cake was MOIST. I baked it between the 350 and 325 mark for only 25 minutes. It was enough for 2 9in. cake pans. Because the champagne is a raspberry flavor, it also has a raspberry tint to it so the cake had a bit of a tint as well. My Husband loves this cake and next time I need to play with a complimenting "icing".

Blueberry Coffee Cake III

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2008
I had a pile of strawberries I needed to use up, so I made this into a strawberry coffee cake. I added a tsp. of vanilla and 1/2 tsp. of almond extract, and also the extra 1/4 cup of milk recommended by the other reviewers. I left out the cinnamon in the streusel, and used walnuts since that was what I had available. Almonds would probably also have been excellent. Because I used up all the berries I had on hand, I ended up with about 3 cups of diced berries, which was probably too much moisture for the cake. I baked it in a glass 8x8 pan for 50 minutes, and it was still a little puddingy in the middle, but very done on the edges. But it is absolutely delicious! So next time I think I'll make sure to use fewer berries, but otherwise not change my method. It's a very nice cake!

Honeyed Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2008
I decided to try this recipe in the crockpot, using the full amount of sauce, but only three pork chops, since I cook for two adults. I put the chops on a bed of chopped cabbage, sprinkled the onion, sliced, over top, and then poured the sauce over all. The only change I made to the sauce was to use half teriyaki/half soy, instead of all soy. I was afraid the cabbage would scorch, so I added some chicken broth to it, but I think that made it too spouy. The sauce and the condensation from the cooking process would probably have been plenty of moisture to cook the cabbage. And the pork came out wonderfully cooked--and moist! A very nice recipe.

Biscotti

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008
I was leery of using oil, because I heard biscotti should use butter, but they came out well in theory. I think the butter might give it a much better flavor and I'll try that next time. I used about 3 C and a tsbp flour. Very easy recipe. Texture was very nice. I, like many, did not have the anise. So I used half almond, half vanilla. I found the flavor lacking, and not quite sweet enough. The anise or some kind of toasted nut would probably help a lot. I know biscotti should have a mild flavor anyway, but I felt it did not compliment the flavor of coffee. The coffee almost emphasized the lack of flavor. But a very good biscotti "base" that I will experiment with.

Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2008
The oats give this muffin a very nice texture. It's not very sweet at all--I added a little brown sugar to the batter and it still was just a little less sweet than I like. I also added a couple teaspoons of grated orange peel, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon of grated nutmeg to the recipe. The orange peel added some needed sweetness. A very good recipe!

General Tsao's Chicken

For the sauce, add CORNSTARCH A LITTLE AT A TIME until it is a "little thinner than gravy" consistency. I DIDN'T FRY OR BREAD my chicken and it was excellent!! NO MSG! I also used dry pepper flakes...AWESOME!!!

Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2008
I used dough from TRADER JOE'S. This is an excellent meal for all us hot wing lovers!!! Definitely pre-cook your dough to PREVENT SOGGINESS! You also don't need a whole 16oz bottle of dressing! Put it on according to your preference. If you would like to try this recipe, but aren't keen on really hot, DON'T USE THE WHOLE BOTTLE OF HOT SAUCE. I liked it, but I love hot stuff!! Use any mix of cheese you like! It doesn't take long at all in the oven!!
