Puerto Rican Shepherd Pie (Pastelon)

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2010

very authentic taste!!! My family couldn't get enough.I only had 4 ripe (almost black) plantain, and 3 eggs and no green beans but the rest of the measurements were the same. Also, just out of habit when making puerto rican beef recipes, I added about 1/2 cup tomato sauce to meat mixture and simmered on low for 30 minutes before layering. I honestly cant see me making this as written with 8 eggs..the 3 were enough for us.thanks for a great comforting dinner!

Take Out-Fake Out Mexican Rice

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2010

This was such a nice ,lightly flavored side to my enchiladas. I forgot to add the chopped fresh cilantro to the enchilada mixture(about 1 tbls), so I threw it in the rice, YUM! With my husband, being Puerto Rican, we always have sofrito on hand in the fridge.( its a base in most PR dishes).I will most certainly make this rice again and again!

Seven Layer Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009

This was a GREAT salad. I made it last night with what veggies I had on hand..no peas, added red pepper and a layer of fresh parsley, I took the advice of others an did 1/2 sour cream 1/2 mayo. The only part I wont do again is to add the sugar. I added more parmesan to cover over the sweetness..I didnt care for the sweetness. OH I also only put bacon on a half layer, being that my 18 year is a vegetarian. Over all it was very, very good.DEFINETLY will make again!

Easy Pasta Fagioli

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009

OMG this is sooooooooooo good!. I started to follow as written, but then saw I would want it 'soupier' so i added a full 32 oz box of chicken broth to 28oz tomato sauce. mmmmmmmmm so good! I will do this( without beans and pasta) as a base for cream of tomato soup too, from now on!!! My husband just finished his bowl and said, "This is better then what we get at the italian restaurant!"

Chicken with Rice and Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

I tripled this recipe..also added garlic powder and onion powder. And as per others, used chicken broth instead of water. and poultry seasoning... it was very good. My husband still felt it wasnt spicy enough and added hot sauce...but we almost always had hot sauce to all we eat. I felt it was spicy enough with out the hot sauce. However it would have been bland as written.Im very glad I added more seasonings. This was my first time serving gravy with rice instead of potatoes.It was different,but nice.
