This is, hands down, the best quinoa recipe I have ever tried! The spices are fantastic. I add a chopped red pepper and kick up the spices a bit to suit my palate, but it's just as good when it's a bit bland.

Salsa Chicken Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

Delicious comfort food at it's best. I didn't find a need to change this recipe, beyond browning the chicken instead of boiling it (ick!). It's not something I'd make every day, but sometimes, you just need a good, hearty casserole to make the day go away. :D

Strawberry Dream Cake I

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

This cake was a hit with my family! Everyone wanted more. We found that the cake tasted MUCH better cold, straight from the fridge. Next time, I would make the frosting with less whipped topping to make it easier to frost with - it was very thin, but delicious.

Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

This recipe was fantastic and very filling. Rounded out with a spinach salad and club crackers, it made a perfect lunch. One half recipe makes two bowls worth of soup.

Cream Cheese Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008

Delicious recipe! I added 2 cloves of garlic to the cheese mixture and refrigerated it as suggested, making it much easier to spread. I had difficulty spreading the sugar/mustard mixture onto the chicken and making it stick, and it ended up in clumps on top of the chicken instead of all over, but it still tasted delicious.

Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2008

Very delicious recipe! The dough was WAY tastier than we expected, thus the recipe yielded several fewer cookies than expected. Do not leave these cookies or this dough unattended for long. :D

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2008

Completely delicious and very simple! I add a teaspoon of root beer extract for extra flavor. This is a birthday party favorite at our house!

Santa Fe Veggie Quesadillas

Reviewed: May 26, 2008

Tasty and easy - just watch the tortillas like a hawk while they're cooking to avoid burning. Substituted various fresh/frozen vegetables for the frozen blend suggestion - where are you supposed to find corn, peppers and beans in one frozen bag?

Black Bean and Salsa Soup

Reviewed: May 26, 2008

This soup was so delicious and easy! I made it right in the pot with the help of an immersion blender (with only a few splatters here and there), doubled the spice and added some lime juice. It was too spicy for the rest of my family, but I'll be making this all the time when I'm on my own!
