Marinated Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2010

Very good flavor. Served as a topping to grilled steak. Next time I will save the marinade and turn it into a sauce. It looked and tasted so wonderful, I hated to throw it out.

Superb! I added a little lemon juice to the couscous and it was excellent. Will make this dish over and over. I like a little more flavor on my steaks so I marinate in worchestershire then sprinkle both sides with Montreal steak seasoning before grilling. Yum!

Baked Aloha Chicken

Reviewed: May 1, 2010

I thought this was VERY good.....after I made some adjustments. I marinated legs and thighs in teriyaki the night before. I substituted fresh minced ginger for the powdered. Added chopped onion and garlic. Omitted the corn oil. Once done baking, I removed the chicken, poured the sauce into a pan, added cornstarch and reduced. Served with brown rice and drizzled the sauce over top of chicken. My boyfriend asked me to please make this again!

Paella

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2010

I made a few adjustments and it was delicious. I sauteed the onion, gp, celery and garlic then added the rice. Just like a real paella, I gradually added the chicken stock (double the amount) until absorbed. After about 20 min, I added all the remaining ingredients and simmered for an additional 10 min. I also sauteed some diver scallops and placed them on top of the paella upon plating. Will def make again!

Chicken With Portobello Mushrooms and Artichokes

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2007

This was quite bland. I expected it to have much more flavor. Next time I will stir in a little heavy cream at the end and add some salt and pepper.

Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2006

As recommended by others, I added 1/4 C. whipped cream cheese and 1 clove of garlic. I only used parm and the recipe turned out great. Served with 8oz (about) fettuccine, asparagus and grill sliced chicken breat on top. Easy and quick!

Black Bean Pinwheels

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2006

Used canned black refried beans instead of processing whole ones. Turned out great. Do not overfill the tortillas, that could turn into a mess! I served with Paul Newmans mango salsa. If you haven't tried the fruit salsa(s), it is a must. Great flavor!
