I was looking for a sweet chili recipe that didn't use ground beef and this one hit the spot. I used moose stew meat since that's what I had. I followed the 4th suggestion down: 1 1/2 cups wine, balsamic vinegar, boullion, full small can of tomato paste, extra chili powder, no salt or oil and 2 cans of beans. So definitely not followed to a T, but it was a great starting point. And the flavors were simply divine. Who doesn't love red wine and bacon?

Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Beef Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2012

I have this recipe in a Campbell's cookbook and have always loved it. I was surprised at the reviews saying it was too watery. The cookbook version doesn't call for individual potato ingredients, only 3 cups hot mashed potatoes. I do think it needs more potatoes as the covering is a bit skimpy in my opinion. I do season the meat as it's cooking as well with standard hamburger seasonsins...garlic, onion, seasoned salt. It continues to be a winner in our house.

Sunshine Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2012

When my 4 year old ask for seconds I know the recipe is good. When my 2 year old asks for seconds, this recipe goes straight into constant rotation. I did follow others suggested mods, as I only use boneless skinless chicken and I never have corn syrup in my house (I substituted honey, per other reviews). Very pleased with this change up to the standard bbq or teriyaki chicken.

Savory Halibut Enchiladas

Reviewed: May 3, 2011

These are so wonderful. I make a bit more filling in a couple less tortillas though. I like mine stuffed! I've also toyed with using red onion instead of and/or with the green onion. And also topping with spicy diced green chiles. I'm able to make the recipe perfectly with only one can of enchilada sauce as well. Just variations on a fabulous recipe.

Orange Pork Stir Fry

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2011

I love teriyaki stir fry, and this was a lovely variation. I did not find the orange to be overpowering. I did use fresh veggies and left over shredded pork roast. But I stuck to the sauce recipe and really enjoyed it. The orange cuts the typical sweet of the teriyaki making a nice change to stir fry.

Tartar Sauce I

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2010

I was in a hurry so I didn't measure or add the onion, salt, or pepper...and it still came out fabulous. I've never been able to make a good tartar sauce or find one I like at the store. This one somehow came together wonderfully and we liked the bowl clean.
