Baked Leeks

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2011

Only use the white/light green parts of the leek. Split in half lengthwise, then cut into 2 inch rounds. Sliced potatoes au gratin style (2) and added halved romas, about 10. Didn't have cheddar, so used mozzarella and a tiny bit of mexican cheese. Made bread crumbs out of one hoagie roll, and added that to the top. Looks delish, and am waiting now for it to cook.

Chicken and Biscuit Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2011

Great recipe! I halved everything but the veggies, and it was perfect for two. Left out the peas, and added about 1/4cup of milk, as I was a little short on broth. It was very flavorful, and loved the fact there were no canned products.

It could have been the beer I used, but this just didn't taste all that great.

Wasabi Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2010

This recipe has a kick if you ADD more of everything! For 2 servings, I used: 1 T wasabi powder; 1/3 cup butter; 2 t. minced garlic; 1/4 - 1/2 c. milk; no water. Makes it nice and creamy and spicy. YUM.

Elegant Penne with Asparagus and Shrimp

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2010

Incredibly easy and super-tasty! I added mushrooms with te asparagus and another dash of red pepper flakes at the very end before serving, which kicked it up a notch. Served with a nice green side salad, and it was perfect!

Party Mimosa

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2010

I quadrupled the recipe for all the juices and made in one pitcher, then let everyone add their own champagne. Float a few raspberries in the glass and this was a hit!!!!

French Toast Bake

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2010

Cooked for 30 minutes, then threw the blueberries on for another 15 minutes. It turned out fantastic! Even better was I made a praline topping for it. Yummy!

Cowboy Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2010

Wow, these are super crazy fun! They pop in your mouth and like my husband said, they are spicy! I made several modifications due to what I had on hand. Used 4-5 small yellow potatoes, cubed, 10 sliced japalenos from a jar, 2 tsp. minced garlic, and 5 oz. baby carrots. Put in 2.5 TB of butter, and about 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Next time (and there will be a next time!) I think I might try adding cream corn to give it that creamy mash potato texture.

Quick Chicken with Asparagus and Provolone

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2010

Easy and delicious. Next time, I will decrease the time asparagus cooks, 10 minutes or less, and place cheese on top at last minute or two of cooking. Also, would suggest low-sodium broth, as it seemed really salty.

Mongolian Beef

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2009

Had to substitute the sherry (who has that anyways?). Not sure if that's the key or not, but it was too vinegary and was missing that nice brown sauciness you get from real Chinese food.

Good for You Greek Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2009

A great mix of flavors. I let my tomatoes drain, but there was still too much liquid which made the overall presentation too juicy.

Easy Baked Tilapia

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2009

This was my first time using Old Bay seasoning (I had a sample packet). With the garlic salt added, this was way TOO salty. Plus with the lemon juice and the vegetables, my fish was slightly soggy.

Turkey Bake with Whole Wheat Pasta

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009

I used a large can of sauce - 26.5 oz, and it still was dry. Plus, very bland even though I added extra garlic and italian seasoning in the meat. I won't make this again.

Fresh Tomato Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2009

Made this twice. The first time I made the following alterations based on previous reviewers: dice onions and tomatoes; saute onions with garlic; add italian seasoning to mayo; sprinkle cheese on pie crust first. While incredibly delicious, the presentation was less than stellar - it was runny. The next day however, it had congealed and was again delicious, but not too pretty. I made it again for a friend who recenlty had a baby and added spinach on the bottom in an effort to "soak up" the moisture. I'm not sure how it turned out aesthetically, but they seemed to have loved it. Will definitely make this again!

Blue Cheese and Pear Tartlets

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2009

I've been making these for several years now - they are always requested for parties! Like other reviewers, Gorgonzola or any similar cheese works great! I've also used milk when I didn't have any cream.

Chili Verde

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2009

Nice, simple recipe. If you like spicier, you will need to add jalapenos or something else with a kick.

Pork Chops for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2009

I took others advice and only cooked on low for 3 hours - they still came out extremely dry. Next time I will shorten it to 1.5 hours. The sauce was awesome though! I added a 1/4 cup of honey and served over rice.
