Tropical Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2009

I made this for my "luau" themed party. I doubled it all. I followed all but left out the pineapple.Just my choice. I also used toasted almond pieces. A huge hit at party. Went well with the slammin' salmon. Oh, I also used red onion for the color. The vinaigrette is perfect. I put the dressing in a small container and shook it before adding it to the salad. Thank you for sharing!

I grew up on SPAM and its cousin deviled ham. This recipe is great, but, adding chopped pineapple set it apart from others that I have tried.

Carol's Butter Pecan Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009

My family LOVED this cake, even though I over baked it. It was a tad dry but that was my fault. Even so, I was asked for the recipe by 2 people. Next time I will not overbake it it. I added a splash of vanilla extract to the frosting, Yum!

Emma's Belgian Waffles

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2009

These were good, but not my fav. The usual recipe I use from my first cookbook uses buttermilk and turns out crispier on the outside and lighter on the inside. I'm big on the buttery flavor I guess. The texture of this recipe was a little heavier than I like, but it worked in a pinch.

Grilled Salmon II

LOVED IT! I did omit the ginger and sesame oil. Family pref. I let it marinate over night. I baked it, I almost blackened it but so moist inside. Children loved it! I will make this again.

Eggplant and Tomato Packets

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2009

This is quick and easy. I make a similar version on the stove. The family enjoyed it. I used the tiny chinese eggplant. If you let it cool then it comes out of the foil easier. I cook mine a bit longer only because DH likes it that way! Thank you for the quick dinner side!

Hearty Lasagna

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009

Just took it out of the oven. The only changes I made was to add minced onion to the hamburger as it was cooking, minced garlic and dried basil to the meat sauce, 2 cups mozzarella to the top. I would have given this a 5 but the measurements were off a bit. Next time I will use 2lbs of hamburger and 2 cans of the sauce. {I prefer Hunts 4 cheese blend for sauce, not as sweet as the jar sauce. Tastes more authentic). And 4 cups of ricotta cheese.

Spicy Lime-Cilantro Marinated Flank Steak

Reviewed: May 27, 2009

AWESOME recipe! I made this with flank steak for Mothers Days and it was such a huge hit that I was asked to make it again for our Memorial Day BBQ. I also marinaded some jumbo shrimp in it and made kabobs. Delish!! We like our food spicier than normal so I used serrano chiles instead of jalapenos. Will definitly make this again.

you can't mess this up. i add whatever canned beans i have. try adding pasta too. just boil pasta seperately and add to soup. that way it won't absorb the yummy broth. my hubby and kids love this.

Molly's Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009

I used boneless chicken breasts that I had and set the crockpot on high since I started late. I think next time I will dredge in flour as others recommended and use a little more brown sugar. I'd also like to add a little kick and therefore will add a little crushed red pepper to the mix. My chicken was a little dry (next time will use legs), but that seems to be a theme with me. Overall everyone like it.

Coconut Macaroons III

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009

We all really enjoyed this recipe and it was easy to make. Quick too. Next time I'd like to try with almond extract. I accidentally put like 1c too much coconut and then added a little more flour to correct my mistake, and they still came out good. The sweetness factor is a matter of ones palate.

Juicy Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009

My family really enjoyed this recipe. I didn't have celery so I stuffed with lemon slices and also used butter inside and out, and sprinkled with dried rosemary. The recipe used the right amount of everything. My chicken came out a little dry, but that is because I'm still testing my TRIVECTION oven.
