Oriental Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2012

Made this exactly to recipe tonight, and there were no leftovers. For my personal taste I would add cilantro, a little sesame oil to the dressing and some acid to the ingredients, like lemon or lime, maybe mandarin orange sections. I just felt the dressing needed some acid bite to it.

Pork Chops for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Feb. 29, 2012

I haven't had pork chops in a very long time and they were on a super sale, so I found this recipe from Pinterest. I liked the flavor but I think I figured out tonight that I just don't enjoy the texture of pork chops. Overall a good dish, and I do love using my slow cooker.

Argentinean Chimichurri

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2012

I didn't have parsley but I did have two bunches of cilantro so I gave it a shot and OMG, the very best sauce on fish, chicken and steak! **UPDATE** I mixed a quarter cup of this in with two cups of alfredo sauce and put it on pasta, very delicious!

Refried Beans Without the Refry

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2012

Texture wasn't what I expected, but I am sure there is a reason that those who used black beans used only half black half pinto, unlike me who used all black. Very tasty, but will try it with half/half next time.

Ranch-Style Thighs

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2012

So tender and juicy, cooked perfectly the first time. I didn't have cornmeal so I used a handful of mashed potato flakes. Not sure I missed the cornmeal at all. Thanks for a great recipe.

Pasta with Tequila-Tomato-Lime Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2011

I really like this recipe, it's easy and with the exception of the Clam juice, it's all standard pantry items. I will add shrimp next time to make it a more substantial meal, but I am really happy with the outcome. Thanks!

Best Burgers Ever

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2011

This is a really good use of ground lamb and spices that you may not eat regularly. I used this meat combination with rice and tomato sauce in a stuffed pepper application and it was delicious, I may play with the cheese choices (I only had swiss, and it wasn't what I was looking for)

Blue Cheese Green Beans

Reviewed: May 28, 2011

I am confused about this one, on paper it sounds fantastic, but when I tried to make it, there isn't enough liquid to even blend into a sauce, even the sauce that I did get, was not as good as I expected, tasted too much like the vinegar and not enough like the blue cheese as I hoped. I may try it again, just to be sure I didn't make a mistake.

Spinach, Artichoke and Crab Wontons

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2011

I really liked these, they come together really fast and had good flavor. My only suggestions are for personal preference: add cayenne for kick. bake the won ton shells longer to make them crispier on the bottom, heat up filling to get it closer to melting so you don't burn won ton edges when doing the second bake.

Mashed Chipotle Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2010

I am not normally a fan of Sweet Potatoes because they are usually made too sweet for me. I made this with canned yams (that I already had on hand), drained well and added no extra sweet anything, and I am now a fan of these for sure. Will have to make them with fresh before I can give 5 stars, but the canned worked nicely.

Roasted Carrot Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2010

If I could give this 7 stars I would. This is so over the top yummy! Just from reading the recipe I knew it would be good so I made a huge batch for a potluck. It evaporated it was gone so fast. Only thing I did different is since I tripled the recipe, I only doubled the garlic. But still soooooooo yummy. Thank you for sharing.

Shrimp and Andouille Sausage with Mustard Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2010

Very good and very simple. Would impress last minute guests as much as a planned dinner party. I didn't have any mushrooms, so I just left them out, I will try again with the mushrooms.

King Ranch Chicken Casserole III

this is an easy and quick recipe, that I made with frozen chicken breast, which are very handy to keep around. I might mix the garlic salt and chile powder in with the soup mixture next time. A winner!

Perfect Lobster Bisque

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2007

I made this for friends who love Lobster bisque, 20 of them, and it got rave reviews. I used the Shells to flavor the soup and strained it through a sieve, chopped up the tail meat and sauted with butter for a garnish and it was a huge success. Otherwise followed the recipe. good luck
