Quinoa and Black Beans

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2011

This is a good basic, simple quinoa recipe. An ideal start for first time users of quinoa. I'll add chilis and a few other aromatics next time.

Chantal's New York Cheesecake

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2010

I did not care for this recipe. The only good thing was that the author gave good instructions for making a cake that didn't crack.

This was easy and tastes great! I used a can of Rotel plus the cayanne and the heat was perfect! It makes a very large pot of soup though so you may want to cut it in half if you are just feeding yourself.

Lemon Curd Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2009

This was one that EVERYONE enjoyed! This is a bar that you have to eat with a plate and fork not a hand held food. I made no alterations to the recipe.

Hot Bean Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009

I used reduced fat cheeses and Hot taco seasoning and it was great! It's also a good filler for bean burritos.

Buckeye Balls II

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2009

So sweet they hurt my teeth! I'm going to use part Splenda next time. I found that the "chocolate" bark doesn't work as well as melted choco chips with a tbs of crisco.

Butternut Squash Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2008

Great Taste! I skipped the topping and next time I'll whip the squash before baking to give it a creamier texture. I don't have a microwave right now so I baked the squash the way others had.

Burrito Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2008

Awesome! I made a vegetarian version without the ground beef. I put whole beans in the beefs place. I followed the recipe exactly after that and next time I'll turn the heat up by using "hot" Rotel instead of the "original". THIS IS A HUGE RECIPE!

Connie's Zucchini "Crab" Cakes

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2008

As a vegetarian I don't know what a true crab cake tastes like but these were and interesting change from the typical veggie fritter. I took the advise of another and squeezed the water out of the zucchini after shredding it. I also used Italian style bread crumbs and I baked them. Whatever you do DON'T add any salt, the Old Bay has plenty! The resipe was a 5 star for simplicity but the taste gets only 3 stars.

Creamy Orange Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2008

Good, cool cake. If I were to make it again I'd put a can of mandarin oranges in the mix before baking it to give it a more 'orangey' flavor. I also like the fact that it's refrigerated and it is still good with ice cream.

African Peanut Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008

This is GREAT soup. I use one can of HOT Rotel and one can of tomatoes with garlic and onion. Also, white rice works just as well as brown.

Italian Wedding Cookies III

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2007

Wonderful cookie and great for the holiday potlucks at work! I did what most did...reduce the salt to 1/4 tsp. I decided not to take the advise of some and dusted the cookies with powdered sugar just before serving, otherwise they got gooey on the outside. I also used pecans in lieu of almonds.
