Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2006

ok, nothing spectacular. There were plenty left at the end of the party I took these to.

Chocolate Thumbprints II

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005

sadly, no one liked these. They looked cute, but as my friend said, they're not worth the calories. Even my kids just picked the kisses off the top and left the cookie. Sorry....

Very moist. My husband, the beet lover, loved this! The kids didn't even finish their one piece though, except of course, the frosting. I'll make it again, probably, since my husband liked it, but for me, I'll stick to a cake where nothing competes with the chocolate flavor.

Pasta with Scallops, Zucchini, and Tomatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2004

I didn't have any tomatoes, so I used a can of diced tomatoes. Also only used 1/2 red pepper. YUMMY! Thanks!

This is good, but here are better ice cream recipes that take less work.

Raspberry Tilapia

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2004

I agree with the other reviewer who said vinegar and fish make an odd combination. We won't be making this one again.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2004

I've only made this twice so far, but wow! I skip the celery salt (used garlic salt instead) and use Key Lime lemon juice to add a little "kick". Tastes good with a little Old Bay Seasoning too. Thanks!

Waffles I

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2003

good recipe, and smells SO good when it's cooking! I've done various substitutions - used whole wheat pastry flour, applesauce for the oil, stevia for the sugar, added cinnamon, added protien powder... all turn out just fine. Thanks!

Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2003

Super! Took a little time to get all the ingredients assembled, cut up, etc (I hate the prep work!), but well worth it. Thanks for a good recipe!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2003

Super! I've used both canned & fresh, roasted, then pureed pumpkin. I've tried it as bread, muffins & minimuffins - all are great. My husband used the word extraordinary when I asked how he liked it. I've made this several times just as muffins & minimuffins - easier for little hands (and big ones) to handle.

Penne with Red Pepper Sauce and Broccoli

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2003

Love this one! My mother didn't like it, but she doesn't really like vegetables much. It was neat to have a non-tomato red sauce. My meat-loving husband said this is one of the few meatless dishes I make where he doesn't miss the meat. This one's a keeper for us! Thanks!

Fried Tempeh in Batter

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2003

I am by no means an excellent cook, but this one was my worst attempt, according to my husband. We ended up sending out for pizza.

Penne a la Vodka II

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2003

Very good, but the sauce was a bit thin, didn't stick as well as I had hoped to the penne. Could have been me, though! I used 1/2 and 1/2 as other reviewers had suggested, and used those gourmet tomatoes stewed in tomato puree and basil. Next time, I'll use the tomatoes I can drain & see if that helps thicken it up. Otherwise, I'll thicken with parmesan cheese. Definitely will try this one again!

Delicious Black Bean Burritos

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2003

Wow is this good, thanks! I've messed around with the ingredients - it seems the ONE thing you definitely CAN'T change is the cream cheese. This is sooooo yummy!

Rissoles

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2003

Kind of grainy and monotonous tasting. I think next time, I'll make it into "meatballs" and cover with vegetarian gravy over noodles.

Simple Spinach Lasagna

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2003

Great stuff! I prefer coarsely chopping a 20 oz bag of fresh spinach, makes the lasagne look better. Also chopped up a package of firm tofu and substituted it for half the cottage cheese. Does take about an hour to make (a long time for ME!), but worth it! You're making it easy for us to do "meatless nights" at our house. Thanks!

Brown Rice, Broccoli, Cheese and Walnut Surprise

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2003

We've just started trying to eat less meat, and as avid carnivores, we had pretty low expectations of being able to do that. But this really yummy! I took another reviewer's advice and added about 1/2 cup of lentils to the brown rice while I cooked it, to make it more filling. I never even liked broccoli before, and now we eat this nearly every week! Thanks so much!
