Red Pepper Soup

Reviewed: May 18, 2007
Tasty but time consuming! Changes: * left garlic cloves whole * sauteed onions and garlic in olive oil in stead of butter while i broiled then peeled bell peppers * 6 colorful bell peppers, cut into strips * one chicken bullion cube dissolved in 2 cups hot water It tasted really good before i added nonfat dry milk, black pepper, and a dab of sour cream. Don't bother with the spices or dairy-- it's delicious plain! And I'm the kind of person who likes spicy food.

Quick Chicken Cordon Bleu

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2007
Didn't work for me-- the taste was bizarre and the prep was too messy. Sauce was too buttery and strange, too.

Cake Mixes from Scratch and Variations

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2007
Tried Yellow Cake variation with oil substitute for shortening. Very nice texture. Edges over-browned. The taste of the cake is rather bland, though. maybe more sugar? Frosting fixes it...

Sugar Cookie Frosting

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2007
The sugar and shortening don't get smooth, by the way, more crumbly. * skipped vanilla extract and added lemon instead-- yum * needs food coloring, otherwise color is ugly.

Lebanese Chicken and Potatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2007
Makes the chicken very tasty. Would be good with potatoes I'm sure. way too much lemon juice though-- cut back to 1/4 cup. * Do not try with peas. they soak up lemon juice flavor, ugh! * works well with canned kidney beans. * plan to toss sauce. otherwise use broiler to evaporate sauce.

Stuffed Eggplant Parmesan

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2007
* sauteed 1/2 onion and 2 cloves garlic, then added chopped chicken and a little chopped green onion, salt and pepper * did not use oregeno * salted eggplant shells for 40 minutes and patted up moisture * mixed parmesan, breadcrumbs, and dried parsley (reduced breadcrumbs to 1/4 cup) * cooked for 50 minutes * order of toppings is awkward... try cheese, then hummus, then breadcrumbs, then parsley. * flavors just kind of melt together into a generic thing, so don't worry if you're missing a few things.

Tuna Delicious

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2007
I wasn't raised on this kind of food and have never tried it before, so maybe that's why I don't like it. Suggestions: * Might be better with a tasty canned tuna. I used a cheap plain one. Changes: * Used whole wheat spaghetti * Added peas. * Used yoghurt instead of sour cream.

Spinach Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2007
Suggestions: * Increase the spinach! Could easily double. Otherwise this dish is way too creamy. * Add lots of fresh spinach! Helps with taste. You should actually add after removing from oven (don't worry it won't be crispy). * Decrease the cream of mushroom soup.... not such a great taste, the sweetness of the cream cheese is hidden. * Add a dash of black pepper. * I didn't use the french fried onions.

Mom's Date Pudding Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2007
another pleaser. i serve it upright but i wonder if it would be better flipped upside down? changes: * increased dates to 1 1/3 cups (suggest even upping to 1 2/3 c) * cut dates in half * eliminated nuts * used only 4 tablespoons butter (suggest reducing further to 2 1/2 tbsp)
