Oma's Rhubarb Cake

Reviewed: May 13, 2010
Easy and delicious. I have made it twice now, and both were great. I used 4 cups of fresh rhubarb in both, because I have a ton of it in my yard. The first time I used 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 vanilla yogurt because I didn't have enough sour cream. I reduced the sugar a little to compensate for the yogurt. It was soooo yummy and moist. The second time I used all sour cream as the recipe calls, and I think I like the half yogurt just as well if not better. Other refinements include adding walnuts and a little extra flour to the topping and mixing the cinnamon in rather than sprinkling on top. I will definitely this again. My boyfriend and some house guests all loved it. A great use of rhubarb when no other fruits are available.

Spanakopita II

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2010
Tidy, yummy, and very satisfying. I didn't have dill but it was still very delicious. I used some good quality feta and quite a bit of pepper. Can't wait to try it again with the fresh dill. Worth the effort! Best if you can get a helper for assembly, so the dough doesn't dry out.

Quiche Lorraine I

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2009
Excellent as is, but also just fine with less milk/cream. Cayenne adds so much.

Mexican Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009
Excellent and simple recipe. It does need a little extra to make it flavorful, and definitely add more salsa if you want it spicy. I used some green salsa and a mixture of pepper-jack and cheddar cheeses. I also added onion, garlic and cumin to the chicken. Next time I'll include green chilis and diced jalapenos to give it a kick.

Candied Cherry Macaroons

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
I was so excited to try these with some lovely almond paste my partner bought me. They were a total disaster. The "dough" was more like pancake batter consistency, so I doubled the flour but after 30 minutes it was still very runny. I poured it onto the parchment and baked for 25 minutes, but they weren't done, and even after 35 minutes they did not brown up. They ran and flattened out. The flavor was okay, but they stuck to the parchment (!?) and to our teeth. I will not try again. Almond paste is too expensive. Perhaps the creator of the recipe left out some important step?

Halibut Divine

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2009
Yummy. I used twice the cheese, half the butter, a little less oil, and less mustard (1 TSP). I served it with mashed potatoes and broccoli; the sauce was really yummy on the potatoes! Will make again.

Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009
This was a really flavorful marinade. I've made it twice, once I marinated overnight and the other time only for an hour. Both were good, but longer is better. I didn't have sherry, so I used a little white wine. I'd love to try it with the sherry next time. And it makes a spectacular gravy too!

Zucchini-Coconut Cookie Bars

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2009
We loved these; the coconut-zucchini-date mix was surprisingly yummy. The kid who mows the lawn claimed to not like zucs but then asked for more. I omitted the raisins, put the walnuts and cinnamon right in the bars, and skipped the frosting. Mine were halfway between a cookie and cake. They stayed moist for three days, and probably would have stored well, if we hadn't eaten the all!

Parmesan Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009
This was really easy and tasty. I added dried basil and a little oregano to the bread crumbs (a stale piece of toast crushed) and cut way back the salt. I also added a few mushrooms to the squash saute. We skipped the tortellini and it was still a fine meal. Make sure the pork gets nicely browned, as this is key to the flavor.

Ricotta Stuffed Squash

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2009
Very yummy. I used acorn squash which I baked face down with a little water for 15 minutes before filling. I used fresh spinach, lots of garlic, ricotta and topped with freshly grated romano and white pepper. It took an addition 30+ minutes to cook sufficiently. I'll definitely do this one again.

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2008
I've made these a few times now, and love them. Not spicy enough for me though.I add some green HOT salsa to liven it up a bit, and diced jalapenos. I tried canned corn, but fresh corn is much better. I even tried some chicken/jalapeno sausage diced up, browned and thrown in. The filling holds up well in the fridge and can be used for a couple days of leftovers that are just as good as the original meal.

Creamy Potato Leek Soup II

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2008
This is delicious, but a bit too fatty. I used milk instead of cream, and just a few of slices of bacon which flavored it nicely. Also I took out a third of the potatoes and mashed them up, then put them back into the pot. Hearty and filling.

Crispy Edamame

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2008
These are great. The second time I made this, I mixed in some green beans and added some fresh ground pepper. I used freshly grated romano and no salt at all. Easy and delicious.

Apple Oatmeal Cookies I

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2008
These are easy, moist, yummy, and can be fudged if you don't have exactly the right proportions. I've made them several times with the Spartan apples from my tree and oh boy, they disappear so fast!

Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup with Cardamom

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008
Delicious! I did not have tumeric, so I put in a little Tandoori spice in addition to the other spices. I used fresh ginger, freshly ground cardamom seeds and a little black pepper. The only other change I made was to blend half of it and leave chunks for a hearty stew like consistency, and I doubled it for left overs.

Nana's Apple Crisp

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2008
Loved it. This is an easy fool proof crisp. I have made it three times. First time just as the recipe directs. The second time I put a a little less sugar in the topping and a little extra oats. And tonight I am experimenting with using it as a topping on my regular apple pie. I sweetened the apples only a little, added a tablespoon of tapioca, baked in the crust for 15 minutes then added topping. Wonderful.

Baked Salmon II

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2008
Very nice recipe, though I have made it three times and found that half the oil is enough. Easy and delicious. Do make sure to use fresh over frozen salmon, and check part way through, as it is easy to overcook it. Can also try white pepper and fresh basil!

Fresh Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2008
Very good and easy to make. I use even more fresh ginger, and find them delicious and potent, but not overly sweet. The sugar rolling is a must with these, and the courser the better. They last well too, IF they don't get gobbled up right away.
