Chicken Tortilla Soup I

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2007

Wow! Delicious soup that's easy to fix and a great one to put extra in the freezer. Fixed exactly as stated, didn't make any changes/substitutions.

Yogurt Spinach Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2007

The worst recipe I've tried so far. No redeeming factors whatsoever. Used garlic instead of garlic salt & still WAAAAAY too salty. Sorry, but I followed everything to a "T", but no good.

Wow, a simple & impressive lowfat entree! I used a cabernet for the wine and found I had to cook longer than stated. I'm sure roasting time depends on thickeness of roast. Use a thermometer & just make sure it's 160 degrees and you're good to go. The smell while it was cooking was incredible, could hardly wait for it to come out of the oven. I also added some mushrooms, which are fabulous with the cab & onions.

Best Black Beans

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2006

A HUGE hit with everyone at the table, including the cook, who loves simple, fast dishes. I might add a tad less cayenne, but it's definitely a "keeper" in my book.

South Beach Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2006

A nice change of pace from our regular dinner salad. I just marinated the veggies in the dressing and placed them on organic baby romaine. Didn't have enough fresh red peppers so I used the jarred roasted red peppers.

Cha Cha's White Chicken Chili

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2005

Fabulous soup but WAAAAAY to much jalapenos! 4 oz is a LOT! We like spicy food but next time I'll cut the jalapenos in half. This will be a staple on our cold weather meals list.

Broccoli and Cheese Brunch Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2005

Great recipe! Instead of the roma tomatoes I decorated the top with red, yellow, orange, & green pepper rings. Also, used spicy sausage and mexican cheese instead of cheddar. Had a nice mixed greens salad on the side for a tasty dinner but would also fix for breakfast or brunch. (I halved the recipe with no problems)

Cathy's Creamy Chicken Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2005

Even my picky husband claimed this was a "good dinner" BUT I think changing the Swiss cheese to a Habanero Cheddar did the trick in spicing it up. Also used chicken brother instead of the wine and cornbread stuffing mix for the bread crumbs. I would definitely fix again this way. (Note: I reduced recipe down to serve 2)

Aunt Janet's Pumpkin Dump Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2004

A HUGE hit each time I make it & take it somewhere (I can't make it just for home becaused we can't leave it alone!) One thing I changed, instead of using all the different spices I simply used 4 tsp pumpkin pie spice.

Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2004

OHMIGOSH, this was one of the BEST soups I've ever fixed! Plus it was easy, always a plus in my book. I added some roast garlic & put my immersion blender in it to puree some of it for a creamier soup. It's a recipe I fix again & again, and pass on to anyone I know that likes mushrooms. It's as good as ANY I've had in restaurants.

Aussie Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2003

A good & easy recipe for chicken, something I get tired of trying to find new ways to jazz up. I didn't have the dried minced onions so instead I used onion & garlic powders. An easy, tasty, and eye appealing dish!

Chocolate Cherry Biscotti

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2003

Prepared this as noted with exception I used dried cherries instead of candied. Also when I make biscotti, I like to totally dip the top in either white or dark chocolate & then take the opposite color chocolate and melt it down with a bit of oil and then take a fork and drip lines across it. Gives it an extra special appearance. With this batch, I made half the batch in dark chocolate with white stripes and the other half batch in white chocolate with dark stripes.

Fancy Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2003

Wonderful easy! I didn't have garlic salt so I added about 2 tsp of dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix. FANTASTIC! I made these up early for company then just popped them in the oven in time for the rest of the meal. I would DEFINITELY fix these again!

Pumpkin Fluff Dip

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2003

A HUGE hit for carry-ins. I fixed it for my husband to take to work last Fall & this year they specifically asked that he bring it in again. I must've sent the recipe to a dozen people that requested it. It's SUPER easy, really tasty, and a nice touch during the Fall season. I served it with Vanilla wafers and Gingersnaps. If you want to lighten it a bit, use fatfree Cool Whip & sugarfree pudding.

Key West Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2003

Made this exactly as listed (I marinated it all day)& it was absolutely the BEST, most moist & flavorful chicken I've ever grilled. It was a HUGE hit with everyone at the table. Next time I'll grill additional chicken so there's leftovers, it'd make KILLER chicken sandwiches!

Kentucky Bourbon Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2003

This is the absolute BEST (and easiest) recipe for sweet potatoes I've found. I substituted brown sugar for the white & ended up having to bake it a bit longer. It was a HUGE hit, a MUST try even if you THINK you don't like sweet potatoes!

Honey Roasted Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2002

GREAT recipe! I baked for nearly an hour, however & it was great. I added parsley flakes. Next time I'll use olive oil instead of butter to make it more "heart healthy." This is a recipe that you could add whatever spices/herbs you like & it wouldn't harm the integrety of it.
