Tasty Baked Meatballs

Reviewed: May 22, 2009

I used ground pork that I got on sale for the ground meat. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. They were excellent. Very moist, yet firm. I ended up with almost 5 dozen meat balls, freezing about half of them

Escarole and Bean Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009

Great Soup! Left out the adobo and beans. Added 3 cups kale,3 sliced carrots,3 sliced celery stalks, 8oz. sliced mushrooms and a tsp. of dry parsley.Simmered for 10 min., then added escarole, kale and mushrooms for additional 5 min. Greens were still a little crisp. The mushrooms added a unique flavor.

Great,easy,recipe. I used brown rice. Sauteed onion, garlic, celery and tomato with the cumin and extra cayenne. Added the beans to this for 2 minutes at the end and then mixed in the cooked rice. The flavors blended beautifully. Will add diced jalapenos next time.

Baked Buffalo Wings

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2008

These were the best,crispiest baked wings.I baked the breaded wings at 425* for 30 minutes, then took them out, coated with sauce, then cooked them on the other side an additional 25 minutes. I was afraid the sauce would burn if on the wings the entire baking time.

South of the Border Chicken Tortilla Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2008

This was a good recipe. My family loved it except for the high calorie content.In the future, I will cut the amount of cheese and torn tortillas in half. Also, a 9x13 baking dish is not big enough. I used a 9x15x3 deep, and the recipe filled it to the brim. I will drop the cinnamon next time also. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it was pretty good.

Rolled Dumplings

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2008

These were good, not great. I would advise using the largest diameter pot you have, to do as many in a batch as possible. The broth really thickens and has to be changed after about 2 batches of dumplings. I let mine cook about 15 minutes to get the right consistency.

Firecracker Grilled Alaska Salmon

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

I followed this recipe exactly except for using olive oil instead of peanut oil. The salmon came out great. My wife said it was the best salmon she had ever had. I did marinate it overnight as other reviewers suggested.

Very tasty and crispy. I used 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup cornmeal as other reviewers suggested. I also added an egg in the milk dip to help the mixture stick to the fish better. Great recipe.

This was a good, healthy recipe. I like my food spicy, and added a finely diced serrano pepper to the mix. Next time I will also use chicken stock for more flavor.

Excellent. On the advice of others, I added vegetable juice, but I also added a smidge of beer and lots of old bay seasoning. This recipe is a keeper!

Appetizer Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: May 31, 2008

The small size of the kabobs let them grill up on the crispy side. I added zuchinni slices, red bell pepper, and sliced serrano peppers for color and some heat. My guests loved them. I arranged the kabobs in a grilling basket to make them easier to flip and remove.

Margarita Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed: May 16, 2008

This recipe was good if you love the taste of fresh cilantro. I grilled half of the shrimp and served the other half chilled.People liked them both ways.I, personally thought they were just OK. I like spicier food, so maybe more hot pepper if I make this again.

Roasted Red Pepper and Crab Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2008

This soup was good, but needed something more. I used fresh basil and three garlic cloves instead of the dry seasonings. Doubled the cayenne and added a tsp. of Old Bay. I did use imitation crab, and I think that was what left me slightly disappointed. I will make this again with real crab.

Carrot Cake XI

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2007

Fantastic and easy. I used half the sugar and oil as was suggested by other reviewers. Added 3/4 cup of cinnamon applesauce. Cake was moist and firm. I used "Cream Cheese Frosting II" recipe with half the sugar for the icing. It was great, but use more sugar if you prefer your frosting sweeter.
