As I wasn't roasting a turkey, I cooked the quinoa in chicken stock, then added the other ingredients (omitted the salt because of all the salt in the stock) and just microwaved it for an extra 5 minutes or so. Tastes great! Can't believe how healthy it is, and would happily serve this to guests.

Warm Mango Salsa

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2011

Cooked this up as a topping for pork chops - very tastey! I used a food processor to finely chop the onion and jalepeno. Not very hot - could probably leave the seeds in to get a bit of bite.

Whole Grain Waffles

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2011

These are great for how healthy they are! Surprisingly light and crisp. I mixed a double recipe in a 2L juice pitcher for ease of spreading on the waffle iron. I added some blueberries, and subbed bananas for the applesauce.

Fat Free Refried Beans

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2010

Cut the liquid smoke to half a teaspoon or less, and then it's fantastic! Served with Mexican Rice II, some taco meat, tortilla chips, sour cream, and chopped tomatoes. Yummm.

Hot and Sour Chicken Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2010

I made this with the last bits of rotisserie chicken leftovers. Fantastic! Just what I needed on a chilly day.

No Bake Cookies V

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2010

Made exactly as the recipe reads - came out perfect! I often have problems with too hard or too soft, but boiling for exactly a minute after it starts roiling is just right.

Hash Brown Casserole II

Reviewed: May 13, 2010

Cooked in a 4 qt crockpot for 4 hours on high (omitted the topping and halved the butter). Delicious! Formed a nice brown crust, even in the crockpot.

Layered Enchilada Bake

Reviewed: May 1, 2010

This casserole has become a staple in my Once a Month cooking rotation. It freezes well, and tastes great even a few months later. I like the beans, and have started adding black beans to taco meat in other recipes to stretch it out and add nutrition.

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2010

Added a little cumin. Made a great, fast dinner. If you're not very adept at turning quesidillas, melt the cheese on one side, take out of the pan, put in the second tortilla and cover with filling, then put the toasted cheese one back on top.

Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

A simple recipe - which is what I needed to introduce myself to Thai cooking. Halved it, and easily got 4 servings (but needed extra rice).

Pan Seared Lemon Tilapia with Parmesan Pasta

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2009

It was okay. The flavour was good, but the look was terrible. Beige with a side of beige. I served it with mixed roasted veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, and snow peas), which helped the appearance a bit. It was fairly quick and easy, although it took a little juggling to have it all ready and hot at close to the same time. My husband liked it (especially the pasta).

Amazing Hawaiian Chicken Chili

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2009

I halved and simplified this recipe (omitted roasted red pepper, butter, used onion powder for onion, did not marinade chicken first). It reminded me of my baked beans, but with chicken. The people I served it to enjoyed it, and the leftovers were excellent. 4 stars, not 5, for being a little unnecessarily complicated in the recipe.

Irresistible Double Chocolate Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009

Definitely the most delicious healthy muffin I've ever made. It isn't overly sweet, so the chocolate chips are definitely key.

Whole Wheat Honey Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2009

I made it as written, but added 2 tbsp wheat gluten to help it rise. Great texture, nice crust.

Chicken Noodle Salad with Peanut-Ginger Dressing

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2009

A great way to use up leftover spaghetti, and even better the next day than when I served it. I found the amount of dressing to be fine, although I'm not sure exactly how much spaghetti I used.

Chocolate Dipped Orange Biscotti

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2008

I made one batch using a mixer and it required about 1/2 cup more flour. Then I mixed one by hand, and 1 cup of flour was enough. I think that might explain why some people think the recipe is perfect and others have problems. One batch with cranberries and white chocolate, one batch as written: the perfect gift for my mother-in-law. Thanks!
