Cheddar Chicken Spirals

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2012

I used "Normandy blend" vegetables -- with zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli -- and resisted the urge to tinker with it further, and I'm glad I did! This actually exceeded our expectations, and my picky husband couldn't get enough of it. This will definitely become a "comfort food" addition to our regular meal lineup. We didn't find the flavor of the mayo overwhelming at all, but if you absolutely cannot stand the stuff, try substituting sour cream as other reviewers have suggested. Also yummy!

Sweet Mustard Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2012

I really wanted to like this. The ingredients sounded right, the marinade looked and smelled delicious, and it even smelled great on the grill. The results were tender, but the marinade really didn't add any flavor. It wasn't bad, but it won't be something I'll make again. Sorry!

Bean Salad Medley

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2011

This was actually my first foray into the world of bean salads. My husband bought an interesting variety of canned beans while on his last shopping trip, and it happened to include everything this recipe called for, so it was perfect. Made everything as described minus green pepper (I subbed paprika for flavor) and it was a hit. Hubby asked that this be added to our "regulars." I look forward to experimenting with it. Thanks for sharing!

Creole Tuna

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2011

This is good! I followed the advice of one reviewer and was sure to use UNDRAINED tomatoes and the consistency turned out great. I omitted the salt because of the canned ingredients and creole seasoning. The end result didn't have as much kick as I would have liked, so I added another teaspoon of Creole seasoning and a few dashes of hot sauce. Yum!

Vermicelli Chicken Salad

Reviewed: May 4, 2011

I jazzed it up with some fresh lemon juice and served with lemon wedges for garnish. I thought it was pretty good. My husband promptly declared this one of his favorite foods of all time -- no small feat!

Chocolate Chip Bread I

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2010

I left out the cinnamon and used chocolate caramel chips, and this turned into a sweet (but not overpowering) bread that my husband and his buddies loved. They couldn't stop asking for more! Light, fluffy, and moist. This is a keeper!

Stuffed Baby Yorkies

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2008

This was great! I used leftover pot roast and it worked wonderfully. It did take significantly longer than 12 minutes to brown, though, and I agree with the other reviewer about using a little less oil. Aside from that, four thumbs up -- my husband and I both enjoyed our meal.

Brunch Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2008

This was pretty good the first day and delicious on the second. I did use low-fat mayo, 2% Velveeta, and turkey bacon; in the future, I think I'll use real bacon because the turkey bacon took on an unpleasant texture. My husband loved the combination of his favorite foods!

Slow-Cooked Steak Fajitas

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2008

These turned out even better than I expected! I added some corn and lime juice and it really added to the dish. Next time I make it, I'll use a little more cornstarch because it came out on the watery side. The leftovers make a great chili starter, too!

Tofu and Veggies in Peanut Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2008

This has become a staple in my household! It's a very versatile recipe, so this is a great way to use up those veggies -- I love throwing in carrots, water chestnuts, and anything else I've got on hand. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't like tofu nearly as much as I do, so I generally make it with chicken instead.

Ham 'n' Cheese Potato Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2008

I'm extremely picky about potato salad, to say the least, but my husband and I both LOVED this! I really like to add in a little sweetness by frying up the ham cubes with a little brown sugar. Mmm. For the health-conscious: You can easily trim off a lot of fat and calories by using light mayonnaise, light sour cream, low-fat jack cheese, and extra-lean ham. It still turns out wonderfully!

Peanut Butter Vegetable Chicken Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2008

This was wonderful! I did add an extra spoonful of peanut butter (I used crunchy) and served it with some corn muffins. We both went back for seconds!

Thai Sweet Sticky Rice With Mango (Khao Neeo Mamuang)

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2008

I omitted the sauce and used this to make sweet sticky rice balls for my husband to take to work with him. He loved them! Next time I might roll them in a little coconut or sesame seeds.

Potato Soup II

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2008

I'm really sorry for giving such a low review, but this turned out terribly. I tried every trick I know to improve it and I could barely eat it. If I were to make this in the future, I'd omit all of the water; it was just way, way, way too watery and bland. It was better on the 2nd day at least.
