The Best Thai Peanut Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2011

I made this without coconut milk and instead substituted water. We also ran out of peanut butter so I added tahini - delicious! I also added in a pinch of salt to help pull out the flavors! I served this with sauteed kale and carrots over quinoa. Delicious!

Exquisite Pizza Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2011

I've made this multiple times and it is fabulous! I never seem to have enough honey on hand so I just use sugar and it turns out great. I cut down the Parm cheese to about 2 tablespoons. No anchovy paste either! =) DELICIOUS and EASY!

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2011

I am AMAZED. This crust is delicious. I only used 1 cup of all-purpose flour and you can't even tell that this a whole-wheat crust. I also added some italian spices (basil, oregano) to the dough for an added kick. The dough was a bit sticky at first and hard to roll out so I ended up needing more flour. I divided the dough into thirds because I like really thin crust. I baked the thin crust at 500 degrees for 5 minutes, then added toppings and cooked an additional 10 minutes to get it nice and crispy. Delicious!

Baked Ziti I

Reviewed: May 28, 2010

This dish was delicious!! I made a few adjustments: I used whole wheat penne. I used one 15 ounce container of part-skim ricotta and 1/2 cup of sour cream. I'm vegetarian so I made homemade sauce with garlic, basil, roasted red pepper, and onion. I layered sauce and pasta at the bottom. Topped with provolone. Topped with ricotta/sour cream mixture. More sauce, pasta, more provolone, parm cheese. Then I covered, cooked for 30 minutes at 350. Then uncovered and broiled for about 5 minutes to make the top nice and brown and crispy. Delicious!

Penne a la Vodka II

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009

I made this vegan style with soymilk and it still came out great (and much healthier)! I also used one (14.5 oz) can of whole peeled tomato and one tomato sauce for a "smoother" sauce. Fresh basil is key, but I've also made it with dry and the sauce still tastes good! I also add about 1/4 cup finely diced white onion when cooking the garlic for an added level of flavor! Yum!

Baked Kale Chips

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2009

I'm in shock right now. Shock. So good. They just came out of the oven - they crumble in your mouth and the seasoned salt totally hits the spot for that salty snack craving. I just put more in the oven with a little bit of garlic powder as well. Awesome!

Tofu Parmigiana

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009

This dish was amazing! I followed the advice of other reviewers and pressed the tofu (I did not freeze). I then used flour, egg+milk, and then the seasoned bread-crumb mixture to coat before frying. Excellent! This still had a tofu-taste and texture, but was delicious none-the-less. Meat-eating boyfriend loved it! He made homemade sauce to go with it, so we did not follow that part of the recipe. Will DEFINITELY make again.

Pizza Dough I

Reviewed: May 31, 2008

This recipe definitely was SUPER easy and had a GREAT taste. I made an olive oil and spice mixture (EVOO, italian spices) that I spread around the crust to help with flavor. However, I wasn't entirely pleased with the consistency. I pre-baked the crust like another reviewer suggested for about 5 minutes, and then topped and cooked the pizza for 20 minutes - and then an additional 10 - and the pizza dough still didn't "cook up" fully and remained doughy and chewy. I'm not sure if I just didn't roll out the dough thin enough, or if it was because I am cooking at a high elevation. I am willing to try this again, cause the taste was good.

Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2007

Delicious! I didn't have any mushrooms on-hand so I followed the recipe minus the mushrooms. I did have a red pepper - so I roasted the red pepper and just let the sauce cook down after I removed the chicken. I then added strips of the roasted red pepper to the sauce/glaze - IT WAS GREAT!

Garlic Sauteed Artichokes

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2007

I just made this dish - it was wonderful! It was great to try something besides just boiled artichoke dipped in garlic butter. What I did different - steamed the artichoke first with garlic tucked under the leaves and drizzled in lemon juice. Removed choke. I sautéed the garlic in the butter and then removed the garlic (so it wouldn't get too bitter). Sautéed the artichokes and then added chicken broth, water, and lemon juice to steam. Delicious! Thank you!
