Low Carb Cauliflower Leek Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2013

I roasted the cauliflower until lightly browned, used probably 3x the garlic (about half of which was roasted garlic), added some onion flakes, a little ground red pepper (be careful, it doesn't take much to make it really spicy) and 6 cups of chicken broth. Then I added a couple tablespoons of cornstarch to cold skim milk (about a cup?) before adding to the soup. Let it return to a boil and then removed from heat and blended. Tried it tonight and it's awesome. Can't wait to try it tomorrow after the flavors meld even more. With the reduced broth and addition of corn starch it is quite thick and smooth.

Baked Whole Cauliflower

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2013

I cut the cauliflower in half and simmered/steamed it in a closed pot of chicken broth. Then transferred the cooked cauliflower to a baking dish. I re-used the pot to melt the butter and add the other seasonings. Chopped the cooked cauliflower up into smaller pieces in the baking dish and then tossed in the breadcrumb mixture. I'm not sure now how much extra the chickenbroth added. Next time (for sure there will be a next time) I think I'll use the same cooking technique but with just water. This was delicious but I did end up adding a little extra garlic salt and oregano sprinkled on top before eating.

Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Vinegar

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2013

It was good but I think next time I'd add some garlic while roasting and/or add some soy sauce along with the vinegar. The balsamic wasn't quite strong enough on its own for me so I might also try a balsamic reduction.

Key Lime Pie VII

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2012

I wasn't a fan of this. It was very easy and quick to throw together but I didn't like the texture or the taste. Sorry.

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2012

I added a ton more spices and extra chicken bouillon to enhance the chicken flavor but this was still really bland.

Chocolate Chip Crispies

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2011

These were disappointing just because the reviews were so high. They were okay, nothing special.

Nothing special about the flavor. Came out moist as bags always do.

Marshmallow Fondant

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2011

Tasted just okay. However got dried out extremely quickly and didn't look very good either. If I had to make fondant again I'd use a more traditional recipe.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew I

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2011

This was pretty good. It needed some extra seasoning but otherwise good and easy. Liked how it didn't require any browning or deglazing.

Decorator Frosting

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2011

Do NOT make this with sweet cream butter! That's all I had in the fridge but it turned out very weird. I threw it all out. Will have to try again some other time...

Roasted Cauliflower Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2011

[Update] I froze half of it and I actually liked it better after thawing and reheating. [Original] This is just okay. It just tastes like mashed up cauliflower to me. I added some hot sauce and that helped. To me it needs something else to distract from the 'mashed up cauliflower' taste. Some ham or sausage would be good. Maybe some kale or other greens?

Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2011

This is excellent. I added one zucchini, only 2 jars of chilis, 2 cans of vegetable broth and 1 can of water and then frozen corn. When serving I added a little lime juice, chopped avocado and lime flavored tortilla chips

Cucumber and Mint Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2011

This started out way too dry, so I added more vinegar. Still dry the next day. Add more vinegar. Better... Add some honey as another member suggested and it was okay. I'm not sure how much the mint adds. If I make this again I think I'd skip the mint and start out adding about 3x the vinegar and then some sugar or honey.

MInty Orzo and Peas

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2011

This was pretty good. I think I might actually like it better without the mint (just orzo, peas, lemon). Maybe also add the juice of a lemon.

Peach Muffins

These were good - moist but crispy on top. I added a 1/2C of milk and 3cups of peaches. Sprinkled tops with cinnamon sugar. Made 24 muffins. Cooked them for 18-20 min.
