Old Bay® Potato & Green Bean Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2008
I prepared this recipe last night. My wife wanted to make sure there were going to be leftovers -- for breakfast!! Needless to say, she really liked it. I made a few modifications just because I had the stuff on hand and thought it might work well with the recipe. I cubed and stir-fried half of a boneless, skinless chicken breast and tossed it in the salad. I also added a teaspoon of minced garlic and 3 baby carrots finely chopped. I added about 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh mushrooms. Served everything over a bed of baby spinach leaves (about 1/4 cup) in each bowl. I re-calculated the nutritional values after my modifications. The new calorie count was 163 calories, 3.5g fat, 27.9g carbs, and 5.9g protein. Very healthy and very good.

Four-Fruit Compote

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2008
The sauce does a good job of making the grapefruit not so sour. It would also do well with other fruits.

Shrimp Tacos

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2008
The flavors just clashed. If I could do it over again, I would have added a lot less garlic and onion. I think thats why the flavors clashed so much.The mango and the onion just didn't do it for me.

Curried Carrot Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2008
I like the basics, but I agree something was off in the recipe. I'll keep working with it, per other reviewers suggestions, because it's so easy and I like the curry...

Wake-Up Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008
very good! Only thing I did was defrost my hashbrowns first and changed up the seasonings in the egg. Will be making this again.

Garlic Dill New Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2008
Let's just say... I didn't get any. After a long day of cooking, I dozed off on the couch. When I awoke, the potatoes were gone. Not even a morsel. My wife tells me they were good.

Burgundy Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2008
OMG!! This was awesome!! The aroma through the house, as it cooked, was 'intoxicating'. I had originally cooked this for a Sunday lunch. There were leftovers and no one complained when I suggested serving them for dinner as well. It was the first meal that I had cooked in my brand new electric roasting pan. Since there are so many of us, I doubled the recipe (which means lots of gravy). Somebody, give me a straw!! We actually dreamt about this recipe that night. I will definitely be making this again soon!

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2008

Grilled Teriyaki Tuna

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2007
My wife and I are still eating this (as I type). It is wonderful. We never thought tuna could taste this good. I did make a minor change to the recipe, however. Not so much a change to the recipe as a change to the marinade. I put the marinade in a vacuum canister for my Food Saver. Sucked the air out and put it in the 'fridge for 30 minutes. Then I took the meat out (swapped the top and bottom pieces) and repeated the process. Oh, I also put a piece of soaked hickory on the grill for a smoky flavor. Well, gotta go and finish eating my dinner. Thanks for a great recipe idea!

Cedar Plank Salmon

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2008
I've made this recipe several times now... mostly at the request of my wife. When I say 'several times', I mean about twice a week for a month. This was my first cedar plank recipe and I was very pleased with the results. What an incredible flavor! Thank you.

Dixie Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2007
These were some of the most tender pork chops I've ever had. I love that they braise in the gravy, which comes out perfectly after everything's done. I like my chops on the herby side, and didn't have sage, so I added a sprinkling of dried thyme and rosemary, and per another reviewer's suggestion, dusted the chops with cinnamon, too. Oh, and I didn't have raisins, so I substituted dried cranberries. They turned out wonderfully! On the next go-round, I'm definitely going to try them with sage.
