Baked Coconut Shrimp

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2011

I can't begin to tell you how pleased I was to discover this recipe. I was on the hunt for a gluten-free coconut shrimp. I found this and Alton Brown's. The two are very similar, except Alton's has less cayenne and adds white pepper, and is supposed to be fried. I used Alton's spices, but baked according to this recipe's directions. It was so easy, and delicious. My husband said it was some of the best coconut shrimp he's ever had. I made the orange marmalade sauce to go with it, and it tasted great. (1/2 cup orange marmalade, 2tsp. coarse ground mustard, and 1tsp. horseradish) I served it with Avocado Mandarin Salad on this site, which complemented the shrimp nicely.

Spicy Coconut and Lime Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2011

I wasn't so sure about this recipe after putting the marinade together, as it didn't look very appetizing,but the flavors really blended together and made a good shrimp. It was spicy, but not too spicy. The coconut flavor wasn't very strong though. I may try adding coconut milk like other reviewers did next time.

Mojo Grilling Marinade

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2011

I hate to be the first naysayer, but I really didn't like this. IMHO Goya's Mojo Criollo marinade tastes much better, without all the trouble. I followed the recipe exactly. While I like how the freshness of the fruit juices came through, the balance of spices is off. I'm not sure which ones, maybe the cilantro? I gave 2 stars for the freshness factor, and because my husband said he liked it, but I won't make it again.

Cedar Plank-Grilled Salmon with Garlic, Lemon and Dill

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2011

I've only made salmon a couple of times before, but this time was by far, the best. Using the cedar plank makes the fish so moist, it makes anyone a culinary expert. I can't wait to try other plank recipes, and try cooking my favorite salmon recipe on the cedar plank. I did cut the salt in half based on other reviews, and thought it was the perfect amount. Also, I used the "fresh" dill in the tube, which tasted great, but because it is packed in oil, I will cut down on the olive oil a tad in the future.

Basil Shrimp

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2011

Grilled shrimp for the first time, and we tried this and "Marinated Grilled Shrimp" on this site. Hubby liked this one, but prefered the other one. However, this was hands down my favorite. It had great flavor and I thought all the flavors were proportioned perfectly. I followed the recipe exactly using original Grey Poupon, and I did not find it too lemony, or too basil-ly, or too mustardy as many other review. And the amount of oil/butter was just right also. I wouldn't change a thing.

Marinated Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2011

Hubby and I grilled shrimp for the first time. We decided to try this and the Basil Shrimp recipe also on this site. This was my husband's favorite, while I preferred the Basil Shrimp. But I agree this was very good. I definitely would cut down on the oil next time. These shrimp were a little greasier than the other recipe. And I think I want to try doubling the spices as another reviewer suggested.

Quiche Lorraine I

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2011

This tasted great and had the consistency I like in quiche. I made it without a crust, and I used 3/4 cup whipping cream and 3/4 cup 1% milk, but otherwise made as directed. My only beef is it took a lot longer than 40 minutes to cook. Mine took 1 hour 10 minutes at 325 degrees.

Amazing Gluten-free Layer Bars

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2010

**FYI GLUTEN FREE BUTTERSCOTH CHIPS-In addition to Kroger and Hershey's as mentioned in a previous review, Publix brand is also gluten-free. They have a great printable list on their website of all their storebrand items that are gluten-free. ** These came out great. I sorta combined this recipe with the Magic layer bar from Eagle recipe. I made a crust from Scharr GF shortbread cookies, and reduced the coconut to 1 1/3 cups. I kept everything else the same as this recipe. A great gluten-free dessert everyone will enjoy.

Mother's Ham Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2010

Very good recipe for using up leftover ham. The carrots can be exchanged for any veggie on hand. I actually thought there was a little too much sauce, and I love sauce, AND used a full 1/4 cup onions and peppers, and about 3 cups potatoes so I could use them all up. I substituted tapioca for the flour to make it gluten-free, so that might be part of the sauce issue. Next time, I would use less.

Silver's Savory Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2010

I was extremely pleased with this casserole. I have to eat gluten-free, so I am always on the lookout for casseroles that don't use condensed soup. I easily substituted tapioca flour and gluten free pasta. It is more flavorable than you would think. I am glad I resisted the urge to add garlic as DH and I loved it as. (and he usually loves lots of spice.)

Easy Shepherd's Pie with Garlic Romano Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2009

The rosemary was a little too prominant for my taste, and it was a little dry. A gravy might solve both those problems. But it got decent reviews from the family, and the romano potatoes were delicious, even though I used boxed garlic mashed potatoes as a shortcut, so it is worth playing with. I may try Shepherd's Pie V with the romano poatoes.

Jackie's Spinach and Apple Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

I loved the combo of cheddar cheese and apple with the spinach. I used an extra sharp cheese for extra flavor. The dressing sounded a bit bland to me, so I used a bottle Sweet Vidalia dressing instead. DH loved it.

Turkey Tetrazzini II

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2008

Very good base recipe. I took the advice of many and sauted some onion, garlic, and mushrooms with the butter. I cut the recipe in half and cooked it for 40 minutes, and it came out a little to dry. Perhaps that is because I used tapioca flour since I have to cook gluten free. Next time, I will increase the milk and broth by 50%. I think doubling the sauce would be too much.

Waldorf Salad II

Nothing earth shatteringly different here-- it is a simple Waldorf salad recipe. But simple is often the best, and it deserves 5 stars. Delicious recipe. Even those not crazy about Waldorf salad liked it.
