Rice with Summer Squash

Reviewed: May 29, 2012

very yummy, I had to add additional liquid, but I always do when cooking rice on the stove top.

Great variation on beans on rice. I had 1/2 a can of coconut milk and cabbage to use up which is how I found this recipe. I'm only one person who is trying to eat more meatless meals, so I made a half recipe (my 1/2 can of coconut milk remember) except I left out the scotch bonnet pepper, the chicken and used the whole can of black-eyed peas for a 1/2 recipe. The coconut milk added that little something extra and the cabbage was just a hint. If you also swapped out chicken broth for veggie broth this would make a yummy vegan dinner.

Collard Greens and Beans

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2012

This was my first time with collards (or any time of greens!), and I liked it. I'm not a vegetarian, but I hate bacon, so I used vegetable oil to saute in and bullion in the water to replace the salt. Probably a heresy to anyone who actually knows southern cooking, but I liked it.

Harvest Rice Dish

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2012

Not just for Thanksgiving!! I wanted to use up a box of wild rice/white rice with seasonings, that box makes 3 cups of cooked rice. I used that in place of the rice and chicken broth and then used 2/3 amount for the rest of the ingredients. (and omitted the brown sugar) I LOVED it as a meatless main dish for a simple week-day supper. Ate it with a microwaved baked sweet potato.

Mandi's Cheesy Potato Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2011

Needed a bit more flavor. I think next time I'll use broth instead of water. Oh, and I made a white sauce w/margarine, flour, and milk, then melted the cheese into it. Then added the potatoe/broth mixture into the white sauce.

Greek Chicken Burgers with Feta

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2011

These went over fairly well at my house, and were a great way to eat the ground chicken I had got on sale. (As well as the feta that's been sitting in the fridge.) I bet they would also be good with turkey. I did use and entire cup of bread crumbs though--maybe my mean was unusually watery?

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2011

Love this, and I make it with non-fat milk. I can't imagine it with cream! I toss in a handful of dehydrated carrots with the broth, as well as a handful of dehydrated onions. Today we had celery in the fridge, so I minced two stalks and sauteed them in the butter. YUMMY!!! (I bought 6 boxes of the long grain/wild rice when it was on sale, just so I could make this all winter long!)

Mom's Best Peanut Brittle

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2010

very yummy! And I was successful with out a candy thermometer, but I think it would make it easier. Hardest part is not eating it all before giving it away!

Unstuffed Peppers

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2010

Hubby loved, it was easy, and it wasn't too bad for you... what more could you ask? I used 3 green peppers and 1lb of sweet Italian sausage instead of the ground beef. I also don't have any instant rice on hand, so I used a cup and a half of cooked rice (and didn't add the water.) Add all that and the pasta sauce in a pan and it's good grub!

Singapore Satay

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2010

I didn't thread this on skewers, but instead chopped the meat into bite size pieces before marinating, and then used it as part of a stir fry. This was my first time trying lemon grass, and I loved the taste it gave the marinade. However, it is not very edible on it's own--very very woody. Think of lemon grass like bay leaf, some that adds seasoning, but is never eaten!

Sausage Pasta

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2010

Hubby liked it--but we did leave out the spinach. (None on hand) He is not a tomato lover, and this had an acceptable level of tomato for him. I like this as a great "cupboard" meal. I have almost all these ingredients all the time.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2010

This was awesome. I have a broken oven, so I made this in a frying pan, and it was STILL yummy!

Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2010

Hubby loved it!! I used only 2 chicken breasts, but they were huge, 1lb total. I also added extra broth, as we are "brothy people". Next time I think I'll keep the broth, veggie, and spice amounts, and halve the chicken and pasta.

Juicy Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2010

My husband the carnivore loved it... even though we had to push back dinner and they weren't as "fresh" as they could have been. Also, I freely acknowledge that my stove is on the fritz, but they took quite a bit longer than 4 minutes on each side.

Fried Rice Restaurant Style

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2010

I use this recipe for the basic proportions, but what I think really makes it is Oyster Sauce. Last time I made it I added a scant one cup to the whole recipe, and next time I'm going to cut down a bit. Oh, and a block of extra firm tofu cut small turns it into a main dish. (at least at our house)

Golden Pork Chops

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2010

The Pork Chops were yummy, the stuffing was way too dry for my taste. If I made this again I think I would add some Chicken Broth.

Fast and Easy Tofu Lo-Mein

Reviewed: May 5, 2010

Hubby, a tofu hater, considered this dish "acceptable", high praise considering his prejudices. I loved it. I used the already grilled tofu, 2 bell peppers, some green onions and snow peas. yumm-o

Mushroom-Smothered Beef Burgers

Reviewed: May 4, 2010

yummy, easy comfort food. I made mine even easier when I found pre-formed turkey burger patties on sale. The pre-formed patties, one can of soup, a bit of water, a can of mushrooms, and a splash of worcestershire and dinner was ready in less than 20 minutes. (I served with rice and steamed veggies)

Chicken Tikka Masala

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2010

I have never had this in a restaurant, so I don't know how my changes compare with how it "should" taste, but I know it was way yummy. I have almost no tolerance for spicy so I left out the cayenne and used a can of green chilies instead of the jalapeno. (Hubby, who is Mexican, added tabascco to his) I also used coconut milk instead of the cream. Very very yummy.
