Banana Muffins with a Crunch

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2010

Really delicious, but certainly not "healthy". With 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of butter this muffin is sure to please the taste buds, but add pounds to any waistline.

surprisingly simple and delicious recipe. I did not expect the cottage cheese to successfully replace ricotta, but it did! The only thing was direction number two. I almost mixed the cheese ingredients into the meat mixture! It's a good thing I read on.

Jamie's Minestrone

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2010

Amazing!!! I was VERY loose with this recipe and it turned out superbly. I'd never made Minestrone before and this was the greatest more forgiving recipe. I swayed off the beaten path by adding chopped kale stems and broccoli stems (I never like to throw scraps away). I also didn't follow the amount recommendations for anything- I just used what I had. They key ingredient was certainly the basil. That made all the difference.

Veggie No Boiling Lasagna

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

Wonderful. I added some other veggies to this recipe and gave each veggie it's own layer for some colorful fun and deliberate taste differentiation. Guests enjoyed it very much. My only reccomendation is to let the veggies, especially the zucchini, drain a little after cooking them before adding them to the layers. If not they become TOO juicy and create a landslide on your plate when you try to serve the lasagna.

Spaghetti with Broccoli and Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

Great start. With the reccomendations from the other reviewers I took some liberties with this recipe. I replaced the garlic and olive oil with a blend of pesto, picatta, butter, parmesan, and juice from the cooked chicken (Note- I cooked the chicken in a pesto, picatta and CURRY sauce so the juices were flavorful). I tossed the pasta with that sauce and then threw i can of sliced black olives on top. The broccoli I cooked in the same pan as the chicken so I cut the chicken and broccoli and added that ontop of the olives. Lastly I had artichoke hearts in a jar of olive oil (from costco) so I cut up a handful of those and threw those on top. I put the pot on the table for company just like that and when served all the ingredients combined nicely. It was really flavorful and unique. For my first time making this I was really happy with the results. It didn't need much salt or pepper or parmesan cheese. But I did put some extra sauce on the table in case people wanted it. The flavors combined nicely without the extra sauce, but it was nice to have just in case.

Amazing Crunchy Tofu Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2009

I'm really impressed with this recipe. You can play around with it for your liking. I left out the cucumber and shallot (I didn't have any). I also altered the marinade. I after frying the tofu I added the breadcrumbs, lemon juice, soy sauce, and added some rice vinegar to the pan and add the onions. I let that simmer and blend together for 5 min on med heat. Took it off to cool and then tossed that with the salad before adding the fried tofu. This technique will be my base for a lot more tofu salads to come.

Sunshine Toast

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2009

Easy. Super Fast. Great for Company. A tasty twist on simple eggs and toast. Get your heat right or you"ll burn your toast on one side like I did. But even with the burnt toast it was still AMAZING! With the egg contained you can dip your leftover bread into it without making a mess of your plate! My husband loved it too!

Tortellini-Vegetable Toss

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2008

My husband and I shop at Costco and we buy the frozen tortellini and frozen vegetable medley. To make this recipe I simply made the tortellini, steamed the veggies in the microwave for a few min and poured sauce over them both and tada! The whole proccess takes 10 min! Great tasting quick dinner! A staple in our home.

Perfect recipe. Easy! I also added some pears to this recipe. Great if you're having company. After it's cooled you can reheat it in the microwave and put some icecream on top. Perfecto!
