Tofu and Veggies in Peanut Sauce

Reviewed: May 11, 2012

I used almond butter thinking I would enjoy this recipe change. I felt the sauce was too thick and over powering. I would try to fry the tofu first, before other veggies, and substitute molasses with honey or brown sugar, as other reviewers suggested. I might try this recipe one more time with changes.

Patti's Mussels a la Mariniere

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2012

My husband, adult son and I loved the gravy. I used frozen mussels, olive oil instead of margarine/butter, dry parsely and regular vine ripened tomatoes since that was what we had in the house. Will definitely make this again.

Amazing Vegan Pancakes

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2012

This recipient was delicious. My husband and I really couldn't tell that these were vegan. I'm lactose intolerant and my husband wants me to cook more vegan, so I'll use this recipie again. I used 3/4 cup of almond milk with 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour with 1 cup unbleached white flour, 1 tsp of lemon juice, 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. Next time I will try vanilla too.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2011

Delicious, quick and easy to make. I didn't add any shortening and the dipping went fine without it. I microwaved the chips in a small deep bowl for 2 minutes, checking every 30 seconds to see if the chips were melting and give them a stir. I put the dipped strawberries on parchment paper to cool the chocolate before putting them in the refrigerator to harden. I made a batch with 6 oz of semi sweet choco chips and a 2 oz batch with 60% cacao choco chips, which my husband likes.

Very good soup and easy recipie. I added leftover turkey leg meat that my husband and son wouldn't eat. A good use of leftovers. I didn't add cheese, as I am lactose intolerant.

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2011

This is very good and easy to make. I don't have a crock pot so I cooked everything on my stove top in a pot. I used my favorite BBQ sauce(Sweet Baby Ray's) which is sweet, therefore I didn't add any brown sugar. My husband and 21 year old son really enjoyed this dish. I'll definitely make this again, for a fast meal.

Baba Ghanoush

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2011

Amazing! The key is broiling the eggplant in the oven 30-40 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until cooked well and the skin is charred all over. Scoop out the eggplant, put in a bowl and let the water drain out. Dispose of water. I used 1 small-medium sized eggplant, 1 clove garlic, 1 1/2 tsp tehina and 1 1/2 tspn lemon, salt and pepper to taste. I'll be making this again soon!

Butternut Squash Soup II

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2011

This soup was enjoyed by everyone during our Thanksgiving meal. It was easy and quick to make, once I had homemade chicken broth prepared. I didn't have time to blenderize the soup, so instead I just mashed it with a potato masher. Everyone liked the texture of the soup instead of a thick liquid from the blender. I added a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg, which added a nice fall flavor. I'll definitely make this recipe again.

Cabbage Roll Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2011

With a few changes this is a delicious, easy way to make a casserole that tastes like stuffed cabbage rolls. First, I pan fried the onions with 3-4 cloves of garlic, for extra flavor. I added about 1/4 cup basalmic vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar(brown and white) to have the sweet and sour taste we like. I didn't have enough tomato sauce so I added 1- 14 oz can of diced tomatoes with jalepeno(optional). I precooked the brown rice before adding it to the casserole for baking. I baked it covered for 1- 1 1/2 hours so the cabbage was well cooked.

Bacon Turnip Mash

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2010

This was a delicious side dish, alternative to mashed potatoes. My husband also enjoyed this tasty dish. I used precooked bacon to avoid a mess in my kitchen and omitted the bacon fat. I drained the water out of the cooked turnips before adding the seasoning, I'll definitely make this again.

Blackberry Cobbler II

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2010

This is an excellent fruit cobbler recipe. I've made it with blueberries once and fresh peaches another time. My family and guests enjoyed it very much both times. For a 9 x 13 pan I doubled the amount of fresh peaches, but not the sauce. I'll definitely will use this recipe again for fruit cobbler.

Beet Salad with Goat Cheese

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2010

My husband, daughter and I liked this salad very much. It is a nice light tasting dressing, great for the summer time. I cut the beets in small chunks in order for them to cook quicker. I substituted fresh squeezed orange and sliced almonds since that was what I had in my kitchen.

Black-Eyed Pea Gumbo

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2010

this is very good for a vegetarian meal by substituting vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. If I were to make this a meat based dish I'd want to add chicken, beef, or shrimp for extra flavoring.

Pecan Pie III

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2010

This pie was delicious, although a little dense to cut through on the day I made it. The day after the texture lightened and was great. I used a pre-made graham cracker crust so to keep this pie lactose free. I used 1 1/4 cups of chopped pecans. I may have over baked the pie by 15 minutes(in my convection oven) since I forgot to check the pie after 30 minutes as suggested. I will make this pie again.

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2010

This is a very tasty and easy recipe. I cut back the oil to 1/2 cup oil adding in 1/2 cup applesauce. I also cut back the sugar to 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cup of sugar.

Easy Key Lime Pie I

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010

This was a delicious key lime pie with a nice lime flavor, sweet and rich. I used fresh squeezed limes and followed the original recipe, rather than doubling it as other reviewers did. Therefore I used a smaller store bought graham cracker pie crust. I used the 5 egg whites to make a meringue topping, baking 10 minutes without the merinque(to cook the filling) and another 10 minutes with the meringue topping. The meringue topping made the pie look beautiful as well as taste great. I'll definitely make this pie again when I have a group to bake for.
