Brown Rice and Black Bean Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009
Prepared as is, this would have been very bland. Except for frozen peas, I used all fresh veggies, and I added beet greens. I also used quinoa, and roasted fresh green chiles. Since I didn't use "Italian style" tomatoes, I added a sauteed onion and a clove of garlic, along with plenty of fresh oregano. I ended up adding two more cloves of garlic and 1 tsp cumin, and I thought it could have used another onion. The peas seemed out of place, and I don't think the Italian seasonings work with the veggies--this was much better with the cumin added. It did taste better the next day.

Marinated Tuna Steak

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
This was delicious. I was going for an Asian flavor, so I used fresh ginger instead of oregano. I simmered the remaining marinade while the tuna was grilling and reduced it by about 2/3, then served it over the tuna, and that was the kicker. I grilled the tuna for a total of about 4 minutes for a nice medium-rare (I had thick steaks). Good stuff!

Rempel Family Meatloaf

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
Very good flavor but seemed to not sit real well. A little on the rich side. Next time I won't use the whole package of soup mix.

Mediterranean Chop Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
This was good and easy to prepare. I omitted the celery and croutons and made my own vinaigrette. I also used a whole head of romaine, because I don't like just the hearts, so mine came out as more of a green salad. I roasted my own pepper and used Kalamata olives; next time I'll add more of both, along with some fresh oregano. This would also be good with feta.

Leek and Fennel Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009
For such simple ingredients, this was very flavorful, and not nearly as oniony as I thought it would be. Hubby especially liked it. I used only 6 cups of water (but still used 2 bouillon cubes) because I didn't start with a big enough pot, and it was just right. Like another reviewer, I pureed part of the soup for a thicker texture. I'll definitely make this again.

Harvest Rice Dish

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009
What an excellent combination of flavors! Aside from using coconut oil and veg broth, I followed the recipe exactly. I grated the orange zest over individual servings for a test run; it's equally delicious both ways. The only change I'd make is to use more mushrooms, because they really complement the wild rice. This is a new favorite!

Coconut Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
This was good and flavorful. I wanted my onions caramelized, so I started with them and chopped the potatoes while they were cooking, then tossed the potatoes in. Once everything was nicely browned, I added the spices, reduced the heat to medium, and then covered the pan so the potatoes would cook faster. I'd use about half the coconut milk next time; this was very saucy. I'd make it again.

Jarjeer (Arugula) Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
We thought this was OK. It wasn't bad; it just wasn't great. I used shallot instead of onion because I prefer the milder flavor; otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. It just seemed to be missing something. I think some fresh herbs, like parsley and mint, would have helped, and maybe some garlic. Thanks, anyway.

Nat's Shrimp and Veggie Stuffed Zucchini

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2009
This was a delicious combination of flavors. I was short on time, so I just chopped everything and sauteed it together--garlic and shallot first, then add zucchini and mushroom, and shrimp and tomatoes last, then top with fresh basil and cheese. It came out slightly saucy this way--I bet it would be great tossed with pasta.

Kahlua & Club Soda

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2009
I bartended for years, and this was my go-to drink for when I just wanted to sip with friends. It tastes like Coke with a kick.

Kettle Corn

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009
Delicious and so easy! I like to add salt to mine for that great salty/sweet contrast. One time I thought I'd get creative and add cinnamon to the mix. It turns out cinnamon scorches easily, and it just does not taste good that way. I'll just stick to this perfect recipe!

Pumpkin Hummus

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2009
YUM! I was skeptical, but I had some leftover roasted pumpkin and the reviews won me over. I couldn't stop eating this! Aside from using fresh pumpkin, the only change I made was to use two cans of chickpeas. The best way I can describe the flavor is like a savory eggnog (weird, I know). And the texture is so smooth and creamy--the smoothest I've ever made. Absolutely wonderful!

Fennel Cucumber Salsa

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2009
I tossed this with arugula and had it as a salad, and it was very good. I doubled the avocado and used shallot rather than red onion (I prefer the milder flavor), and I used a touch of olive oil to soften up the arugula. Next time, I'll add more banana peppers for more of a tangy/sweet kick. A nice, light, flavorful dish!

Easy Chicken Fajita Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009
WOW! This dish was delicious AND easy! I followed the directions exactly and was so pleased with how it turned out. The entire family, including my two daughters, devoured this soup. I fried up some corn tortilla strips as a nice, finishing touch. Think I'll try adding some fresh cilantro next time. YUMMO!!! :-)

Slow Cooker Root Vegetable Tagine

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
Hubby liked this; I didn't. We both thought it was missing something, however. For me, this combo of veggies just didn't work with these spices. Per other reviewers' suggestions, I doubled the spices, fruit, and broth. Although the consensus among reviewers seems to be that 4-5 hrs. is the ideal cook time, mine took 4 hrs. on low and another 2.5 on high. Great idea, but I'm not planning to make this again.

Grandma's Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009
WOW, tastes just like Campbell's only without the additives--and it's almost as easy! I used fresh juice (6 medium tomatoes), so I omitted the water and used only 2 tsp sugar, and increased the salt to 1/2 tsp. I omitted the noodles because I was serving it with grilled cheese, and it was absolutely perfect. As another reviewer mentioned, this is comfort food indeed!

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2009
Baking is not my strong suit, and this came out great for me. I used half spelt flour, and evaporated cane juice with a tablespoon of molasses, and the flavor and texture were wonderful. Because of the spelt flour, it did come out slightly more crumbly than a typical banana bread, but it still worked out great in this recipe. A definite keeper!

Apple-Cheddar Tossed Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2009
This was a nice, simple salad, but the dressing as written would have been waaaay too sweet for my taste--and too much. I used half the dressing (with olive oil), which was just right, and less than half the honey, and I still thought it was too sweet. It blended fine with the salad (to which I added salt and more cheese to balance the sweetness), but the dressing by itself just tasted like honey to me--pretty bland for all the ingredients that went into it. Next time, I'll double the spices, vinegar, and lemon.

Spicy Cilantro Dressing

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2009
This is a nice, tangy dressing with a kick. I used only one jalapeno because I didn't use the mayo or sour cream, which would have cooled the heat--instead, I blended in half an avocado and then added olive oil until I got the right consistency. I think next time I'll use about half the Worcestershire; it was a bit strong in my version.

Oven Fried Sesame Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009
These were delish! Hubby especially loved them. I used olive oil and a lot more sesame seeds, then I turned the oven to broil for the last few minutes to brown the seeds. Great comfort food and so easy--a definite keeper!
