Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2011

I used uncooked chicken, cut into pieces, used diced canned tomatoes, all chix broth instead of water, and omitted the bay leaf (i was out), after 8 hours on low heat the soup was cooked but felt the consistency was a little thin and the spice overwhelming, added Mexican blend shredded cheese to taste (i didn't measure, just added a little, stirred, tasted, i would guess between 1-2 cups in total) Perfection! Better than restaurant and very close to authentic, i actually like this version better than authentic because there is more chix and the addition of cheese and sour cream garnish.

Red Enchilada Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2010

So Good. I almost didn't try this recipe because of the "its not authentic" reviews, I'm so glad I did! It may not be authentic but it is wonderful, and really easy to make. Thank you Sal for sharing such a great recipe. And for once, I didn't make any changes.

Mexican Bean Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2010

So good, I couldn't stop eating it, and this is before I chilled it! I made a few changes according to my families taste: Used only Black and White Beans 2 cans of each, no green pepper because we don't like them but did use the red pepper (may add a yellow next time) and only used half of the salt. It did make a lot of liquid but it wasn't an issue. Got rave reviews from everyone and it is a potluck favorite. Thank you Karen!!

Feta Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2008

This is my new favorite chicken salad recipe. I used left over chicken breasts, tomato basil feta, skipped on the red pepper (allergy) and added sun dried tomatoes as a previous review suggested (thank you for the great idea!!). I followed the rest of the recipe as written. It vanished so fast at my potluck! I'm going to leave out the dill next time and add more sun dried tomatoes(I used the kind packed in oil, I patted them semi-dry before adding to mix). Thank you for the great recipe!

Meat Lover's Pizza Casserole

Reviewed: May 1, 2008

I make this all the time with ground turkey to save a couple calories. For those looking for extra flavor, use a spicy tomato sauce or add garlic and basil. Thanks for the recipe!

Onion Chicken in Balsamic Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2008

This recipe is a winner for my family. Very fast and easy to make, we loved the flavor. The only changes I made were to use 2 large chicken breasts, 4 shallots (out of onion),reduced the balsamic to 1/3 cup (my balsamic is strong), and added 1 tbs of butter to the stock and balsamic mixture. I sampled the sauce before adding it to the chicken, soooo good! I didn't expect the sauce to thicken, I let it cook until it reduced to about half. There is a lot of sauce but the more the better! I will make this again and again! Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

Balsamic Mushrooms

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2008

I LOVE this recipe as is, but for my picky hubby (who dislikes a strong balsamic flavor) I reduce the olive oil to 1/4 cup or less,reduce Balsamic to 1 TBS, and add 1 TBS of butter with the wine.

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2008

Great tasting lasagna, not a quick dish but worth the time and effort. I left out the fennel and substituted turkey for beef, I used Italian seasoned tomato products so I skipped the basil,Italian seasoning, and parsley but I did add extra garlic. Everyone at my potluck loved it and there were no leftovers for my poor hubby. Reheated in the microwave beautifully, if you have extra sauce freeze it for a quick future pasta dish.

Greek Penne and Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2007

My very picky man and I really enjoyed this recipe. The only changes I made were to use three roma tomatoes, olive oil instead of butter, and 3/4 cup of feta. I also added the optional black olives. I am adding this to our regular line up. Thank you Jennifer!
