Strawberry Spinach Salad I

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2011

made exactly as written, definitely going into my permanent file. i'll probably try fat free sour cream or yogurt in place of the oil next time to try to get a low-cal version... thank you!

I gave this 5 stars, because it deserves it, but I did also completely changed the recipe, I was so inspired by it. But I thought others might like to try what I did, so - I grilled a package of Italian sausages on a George Foreman grill and sliced them, and sauteed in butter, along with the zucchini, a package of sliced portobella mushrooms and a diced red bell pepper. Also added 2 tsp fennel seeds and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Combined all with the marinara and mozzarella (next time will use 1 c parmesan in place of 1 c mozz). I just ate like this (I call it Italian Sausage and Zucchini Skillet) but it would be the bomb on the toasted bread too. THANKS for the inspiration!!!

Perfect Sesame Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2010

Amazingly good – and that batter is amazing – such a light crispy/crunchiness. I will try this again substituting ½-2/3 c honey for the sugar, about 1 T chili paste, only 1 T sesame oil, regular not low sodium soy sauce, and frying in peanut oil for the asian take-out flavor the peanut oil gives. I might try a small squeeze of ketchup in the sauce. If you thicken this sauce with arrowroot (only) it will freeze well. This would be good on jasmine rice. I’ll try the battered chicken with a sweet/sour sauce and pineapple/bell peppers, or with a lemon sauce/glaze too. Thank you – especially for the batter.

Toad In a Hole

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2009

I love this with garlic pepper seasoning on top -or- frank's red hot sauce shaken over. I always lightly toast the bread before cutting out the rounds. I never cover the pan for fear of making the bread soggy, but I'm always happy with the results.
