Easy Peach Crisp I

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2009

This is a really great recipe, but the results were too sweet. When I tried this recipe again, I used peaches in extra light syrup and instead of 1 cup of sugar, used 1/4 cup of natural sugar altogether. I actually used the cinnamon swirl cake mix and after softening 3/4 of a stick of butter, combined the two before sprinkling on top. I found the pats of butter made it difficult for the juices to bubble up from the bottom. All in all though, this is a very good and simple recipe that everyone in my family loved.

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meat Loaf

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2009

I made this using ground Turkey. In light of the people complaining about not being much flavor in the meat, I increased the spices. In addition to the sage, I added an equal amount of Herbs de Provence. I was really happy with the flavor. A couple observations: The sauce really did come out too sweet as mentioned by several reviewers. Next time, I'll use much less brown sugar, if any at all. Also if you plan to use ground turkey for this as I did (to cut calories) I don't recommend the Crock Pot method. I recommend baking in the oven in as large a roasting pan as you can find. So much liquid cooked out of the turkey, the meatloaf was completely submerged in the pot. Also, the liquid had this really unplease looking layer of white goop on top. It didn't affect the flavor, it just looked aesthetically bad. I had to skim off the white stuff and suck out about half the liquid using a turkey baster before the step where you add the sauce. The meatloaf did come out really good though, and it was even better on Day 2.

Microwave Lemon Curd

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009

Another 5-star review for this wonderfully simple recipe. I've been making my lemon curd on the stove for years using the Joy of Cooking recipe and when I saw this microwave version, the snooty side of me said, "how can this possibly compare?" Well, it does. Came out perfectly the first time. The taste is not too different from the stuff I've been making for years (though it was a little more to the sweet side than the tangy side) and it was soooo easy.. My only variation was that my lemons only yielded about 2/3 cup of fresh lemon juice so I topped it off with the bottled stuff to bring it to the requisite 1 cup.. When I make it again, I may put in another egg yolk or two and see if I can up the richness just a tiny bit. My Personal preference here is that the straining step is not to be skipped. I think this is particularly true if you plan to give this as a gift. You'll be surprised at all the nasty looking bits that a quick run through the seive takes out..plus it improves the final consistency. If you haven't already got one, next time you are at the supermarket, you can pick up a cheapo strainer for less than the cost of a jar of prepared lemon curd and you'll have the piece of equipment forever!

Focaccia Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2009

This is wonderful bread. I baked it in an 8X8 stoneware dish because I wanted the bread a little thicker for sandwiches. I can't have dairy, so I skipped out on the cheeses and it was still very tasty.

California Grilled Veggie Sandwich

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2009

This is fantastic, because there are so many varieties. I grilled zuccini, yellow squash, red and yellow pepper directly on the grill and sliced some onion and mushrooms that I grilled in tin foil. I used goat cheese (becuase I can't have dairy) and dijon mustard on the focaccia bread which I made from the recipe "Focaccia Bread" :) from this site. DE-licious!

Greek Garbanzo Bean Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

Well, when a recipe has almost every one of your favorite ingredients (chickpeas, cukes, olives, etc.) how can it miss? I'm eating my second bowl of this as we speak, and the flavors are near perfect. My modifications were minor. I used just 1 English Cucumber (they are very long!) and like others, I put in more Feta than it called for (probably closer to 3 or 4 ounces) and sprinkled a bit more on when I ate it, just to have it be nice and crumbly. This is very light, refreshing and 'cool' tasting and quite healthy. Seems to me, you could easily make it a main dish by adding some chopped up rotisserie chicken.

Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2009

Really good and really easy - I like that combo! Took it to a 4th party and it was a hit. One gentleman had spent some time in the far east and said it tasted very much like the street noodles that he used to get from carts. I couldn't find udon noodles so used fettucini- 16 oz of it (double). But I tripled the sauce ingredients, using 2 parts chick broth and 1 part coconut milk (per another reviewers suggestion).I set aside about 1/2 cup of the sauce since several reviewers mentioned that the noodles started out really liquidy and wound up soaking up the extra sauce. That's what happened - so the reserved sauce will go on the little bit of leftovers tomorrow for lunch. Oh, and I also added a whole cucumber (scraped,de-seeded, and chopped)and two fine diced carrots. The crunch was good. Yum-o!

Black Bean Salsa

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2009

Great guilt-free recipe! I used the Rotel tomatoes with chilis, lime juice fresh squeezed from 2 limes, minced garlic, and added the chopped cilantro in the mix. It's easy to start eating as you "taste" to get things right. Letting it sit in the fridge overnight made it even better!

Stuffed Artichoke Hearts

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

Made these for mother's day and they were so good. I couldn't find artichoke hearts by themselves so I just bought canned whole artichokes and hollowed them out and filled them with the filling (which made for a very difficult time). I didn't use any lemon pepper, used garlic powder instead of garlic salt and I also added some of the parm cheese into the filling. If I can find the artichoke hearts, I will make them again.

Jalapeno Chicken II

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

Yum! I did change a few things though and didn't use any bacon in the recipe. Also, instead of butterflying the chicken and rolling it around the jalapeno and cream cheese, I just slit a hole in the chicken almost all the way through and slid it inside. No leaking of cream cheese that way. Next time the husband wants me to try using jarred jalapenos and see how that goes.
