Lebanese-Style Red Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2011

Since this was last reviewed in '08 I thought I would just add a note that this recipe still holds up in 2011. I had only a handful of red lentils, so I made a very small batch and estimated the seasonings. Delicious. I didn't get the color shown in the picture but the flavor was terrific. So quick too.

Lucy's Tomato and Peach Chutney

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2009

This is just what I was looking for to brighten up simple dinners and sandwiches. Great way to use the bountiful harvest. One reviewer mentioned letting it 'ripen' for 2-3 mos. Could this also be canned? i'm thinking it would be a great hostess gift for the holidays. Or is it not necessary to can because of the vinegar??

Zucchini Cornbread Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009

This is wonderful. I followed other suggestions and salted and squeezed the zucchini, added red pepper, didn't put cheese on the top at all, but did cover with foil for the first half hour. Also, I baked this in a muffin tin so I could freeze easily - we'll see how that turns out. But they are delicious. Moist, nicely peppered, red pepper gives it good color. I used Trader Joe's cornbread mix - 1/2 of it.

Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

great deep chocolate flavor. i just melted the chips and added 1 yolk, also didn't add any sugar as we like the flavor the chips without it. it's a little fluid but thickening up as it cools so may or may not need to add a pinch of sugar.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009

I've been using this recipe for two years now and love it. I just recently substituted 1/2 cup of the flour with amaranth flour (very nutritional) and they seemed to brown more evenly - from the first one.

Marinade for Steak I

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009

This was excellent. I marinated New York strips for less than 2 hours - in a vacuum sealed bag - and the flavor was rich, the meat juicy, and very tender.
