Gluten-Free Hot Breakfast Cereal

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2011

Wonderful recipe! I've been making changes to our diet as far as going organic and also as gluten free as possible. This was a keeper and with the diet I'm on, this was perfect; healthy and filling. I even served with fresh berries for a treat. Thank you for sharing.

Sauteed Swiss Chard with Parmesan Cheese

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2011

This was a really nice surprise! Hubby & I've never had Swiss Chard before and werent sure how it would taste but this really won us over! I made the recipe exactly as written and it was like we were eating something from an ellegant restaurant! He was asking for more of this the very next night and well, that's never happened before!! :-) Anyway, I'm growing beets and heard that the leaves can be used like swiss chard so since we cant really get enough of this new favorite, I'm thinking of throwing some in being that the chard does shrink and well, I just want more!! Thank you Danny for a wonderful recipe that I'll be making very often!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2011

Just made these this morning and not only did they make the house smell lovely while baking, they were fantastic!!! I added 1 tsp. vanilla and a bit of cinnamon to the batter just because I love vanilla and cinnamon and they were excellent. Nothing beats a hot muffin with a touch of butter, but these are great on their own, too. I will be making this recipe for years to come. Thank you!

Authentic Mexican Tortillas

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2010

These are not authentic at all! Like other reviews said, it tastes a lot like a pie crust and are a bit on the non-pliable side-even when heated over the flame of the stove. I went and read Jamie's (recipe submitter) DRASTIC changes to this recipe since she said the original recipe submission wasnt given much thought as far as the measurements go, with the 1/3 C. of shortening she says to use instead of 3/4 C., they tasted like pie crust and I cant imagine 3/4 C. shortening being any better. Normally I dont give low reviews but I was really disappointed with this one. It's gets a star for effort, but my search continues.

Portabella Burgers with Avocado Spread

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2010

Wow! I gave this recipe 5 stars because we're HUGE hamburger fans and would never in a million years have thought we'd eat a meatless burger, however this was EXCELLENT!!! The portabellas are delicious! Only things I did differently (after trying the original recipe first, of course) was that I used 1 tbsp. mayo & 1tbsp. yogurt, added a splash (really, just a small splash) of soy sauce in place of the salt for added flavor. Also, I marinated the mushrooms in just a bit of dressing first. And I have to tell you, I found myself surprised that I wasnt missing the meat with this one. My picky never-eat-a-meatless burger husband totally changed his tune and asked for this twice in one week! Thank you for the recipe! It will be a regular! :-)

Cinnamon Apple Syrup

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2010

This was really good. I gave only four stars cause I too thought the cinnamon was a bit much-and we eat cinnamon like it's going out of style, but I took suggestions from other viewers to use 1 tsp. and it was perfect. My husband loved this recipe and we will be using it again-thank you for sharing!

Anniversary Chicken I

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2010

This was wonderful!!!! The only thing I did was added garlic when I was sauteing 1/2 the onions with the chicken. Also, I used less of the teriyaki sauce just to keep the sodium lower. I usually dont like chicken breasts but this is FABULOUS and I will surely put this into my regular rotation! Thank you!

Guam Fried Rice

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2010

I'm Guamanian & our family comes from Guam, so it was a nice surprise to see one of the rices listed on this site. I've been making fried rice all my life and have never fed it to anyone who didnt die for the recipe. A few tips though: before you cook your rice, wash it a few time to get the extra starch off, this will also help it from becoming mushy. The best thing is to use leftover rice you've cooked the night before. IT TRULY TAKES THE TASTE TO ANOTHER LEVEL, TRUST ME!!! Also, we omit the snow peas and carrots and add slice white onion, and 2 -3 FRIED SCRAMBLED EGGS. You wont believe the flavor!!! Thank you Christine for rep.'n Guam in this recipe. Hafa Adai!!

Fluffy Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2010

These weren't bad, nice and fluffy. However, I followed the recipe and they seemed a bit sweet for my husband and I, sort of cake-like. Thank you for sharing, but my search for the perfect recipe for my personal taste continues...

Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2010

What can I say, these were excellent!! I'm usually a skeptic when it comes to chicken enchiladas in red sauce, not to mention the addition of the cottage cheese was a bit unusual...but I tried the recipe exactlly AS-IS with no changes and IT WAS DEFINATELY ONE OF THE BEST ENCHILADAS i'VE HAD!!! Thank you so much for the recipe, you have a house FULL of fans in this keeper!!!

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2010

I was looking for a brownie recipe and this was perfect! One thing though, I didnt have any cocoa powder so I used chocolate chips instead and then cut the sugar to 3/4 C. I probably could have even cut it to only a half cup. Either way, they were sweet, chocolatey and VERY rich!!!! This one's a keeper. Thanks :-)

Tasty Tuna Burgers

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2010

Not bad at all...I must admit I was skeptical because when it comes to burgers, nothing beats MEAT!!! But this was a nice surprise, I didnt refrigerate it first and I didnt hve any crumbling problems. I did use only the one can of tuna and it was definately enough without sacrificing taste of the tuna. My husband used to eat something like this when he was kid but used to eat it with melted cheese on top. Next time I think I will try it that way too, but they DO make a tasty burger. Thank you for the recipe.

Strawberry Syrup

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2010

LOVE THIS RECIPE!!! I had everything on hand and it was so easy. After reading the reviews, I decided to add cornstarch to thicken it up a bit, also, I'm trying to cut down on sugar so I only put in 1/2 cup - nice way to really taste the strawberries. Served over pancakes this was perfect. I'm never buying it in the store again, thank you for sharing!!! :-)

Baked Soy Lemon Chops

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2010

Jst made this for dinner and it was great! However I didnt use lemon juice being that I have so many fresh limes, so I used that in place of it and the flavor was amazing. Also, I cut the amount of soy sauce in half, and it was still unbelieveable. Thanks for sharing!

Hawaiian Mac Salad

Reviewed: May 8, 2010

As an island girl myself, I can tell you the KEY to this recipe is the MAUI ONION. Maui onions have a unique sweet taste that unlocks the true flavor in this lovely salad. Follow the directions, treat yourself to the Maui onion if you are unfamiliar, and you will see. Thank you for sharing this recipe Sheri, it's a keeper!
