Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2012

Very good, and quite filling. I made it without mustard (boyfriend hates it). Also, about half of the water will suffice--I had to let some of it cook off. The bean mix is good on its own, as well, either for burritos or as part of a taco salad.

Apple Crisp II

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2012

Excellent! I used organic Granny Smith apples. As others have said, the sugar and cinnamon balance out the tartness. Nice balance of textures, great flavor, wouldn't change a thing. Goes well with Prince of Wales tea.

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2012

Very tasty, but the serving measurements and nutritional info are off and Syrah is too heavy a wine to pair with it. If you're using 8 tortillas and are using 2 tortillas per quesadilla, that is 4 servings, not 8. However, I found it much easier to use one tortilla per quesadilla and just fold it over in the pan. I can promise you that even with just one tortilla, it will be much more than 363 calories because 2 tbsp butter is 200 calories right there. I didn't use chopped onions, either, as there were plenty in the salsa. As for the wine, I suggest a somewhat fruity Riesling like Kung-Fu Girl.

Barley Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2012

Tasty, with a very nice texture. Try a little freshly grated parmigiano on top when you plate it. Also, it might be a little bit salty for those who don't use salt in their cooking or who are sensitive to sodium. I didn't use the 1/4 tsp of salt and didn't miss it. I suggest using one can of low-sodium broth, one can of regular (or both low sodium and then use the 1/4 tsp salt).

Mom's Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2011

I'll admit that I was skeptical--Velveeta is not my thing--and I absolutely loved this. There is just enough sauce that once the dish is baked, there is a light coating. If you like your mac-and-cheese swimming in creaminess, this isn't for you. But if you like the taste of cheese and a nice, crisp topping without a lot of glop, I recommend it. For the shredded cheese, use New York extra sharp, and grate it yourself. Also, seasoned breadcrumbs instead of plain. My oven runs a bit hot, so I baked it on 325 for 15 minutes, but that was the only change I made. And remember, low heat for the roux! I used organic 1% milk. I suggest root beer to go with.

Cranberry Orange Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2011

Excellent! I used dried, sweetened cranberries (just throw them in blender on 'chop'), grated an orange for the zest, and juiced the same orange. I can't decide if I like them better with the glaze or without. They taste tangy-sweet-tart. Recommend a fairly strong black tea to go with, like English Breakfast.

Italian Sausage Soup with Tortellini

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2011

Made this with vegetarian sausage, low-sodium veggie broth, and no zucchini (boyfriend is allergic) and it tasted wonderful. Used (and drank) Sangiovese for the wine. This recipe is VERY filling, especially if you have it with some bread. Yum!

Easy Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2011

The perfect sugar cookie. Tried them last night and they are still nice and soft this morning. (So many of them harden.) If you have trouble with the dough being dry or crumbly, just add a tablespoon of water. Also, make sure the butter is soft. As for those who say they are coming out too crisp, just lower your oven temp by about 25 degrees, or take them out at 7 minutes. Don't forget that cookies keep baking for the two minutes that you let them sit on the (hot) cookie sheet before you put them on the wire racks to cool. I recommend the dough for holiday baking, with food coloring, cookie cutters, etc.

Quinoa with Chickpeas and Tomatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2011

Perhaps it's because I made this with black quinoa to get some visual contrast with the chickpeas, but we found this a bit bland.

Quinoa and Black Beans

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2011

A little heavy on the cilantro, but still very tasty. I might try it with 1/3 or even 1/4 cup next time.

Mexican Bean Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2011

Best bean salad ever! Made it without the onions, 1/2 the salt. Use freshly squeezed lemon and lime juices. Best with beer. Also, it's a LOT of food. I didn't have a bowl big enough and had to use my 9 x 13 Pyrex baking dish, which actually worked out because it provided more even marination. Great for the next BBQ because you serve it cold.

Toll House® White Chip Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2011

I use this batter with peanut-butter chips instead. Sometimes I add 1 tablespoon of water to the batter to make them a little bit cakey. Very tasty, without being too rich.

Orzo Delicioso

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2011

Used a small onion instead of large (onions don't like me) and it was absolutely wonderful. Great summer dish: flavorful, yet light. I suggest a Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon blend for cooking and drinking. Could also use the pepper/onion mix or the entire veggie mix for omelets if you are hosting a large brunch.

Quick Black Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2011

I use double the rice and add about 1/3 tsp cayenne for some kick. Very tasty!

Lemon Orzo Primavera

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2010

Sorry, but I thought it was bland and it smelled completely unappetizing. It tasted better than it smelled, but it's not worth making again. Also, I ended up using nearly twice as much vegetable broth because the orzo was nowhere near finished when it had absorbed the amount specified. You'd think more broth would have at least given it some flavor, but it was like eating plain pasta cooked in water.

Tomato-Curry Lentil Stew

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2009

This recipe is proof that simple is often the best. The lentils cooked perfectly. I used about half the amount of onions and no salt, yet there was still plenty of flavor. If this isn't a heart healthy recipe, I don't know what is. Bonus: The house smelled wonderful afterwards!
