This was really good. I made it for an open house and had many compliments, even a request for the recipe. The only change I made was using more olives, a 4.25 oz can. I served with blue corn tortilla chips, which went with it very well.

Italian Dressing Mix

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2004

This is a good dressing mix. I cut the salt to 1 Tbsp. and used half garlic powder/half salt in place of the garlic salt, as I didn't want to buy garlic salt just for this. I also used much less than 2/3 of a cup of oil when mixing up the dressing. I put everything except oil in a measuring cup and then topped it off to the 2/3 line with the oil, which seemed like just the right amount.

Black Bean Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2004

This was extremely good. I made a few minor changes: 2 cans of beans, an orange bell pepper instead of green (for color and flavor), 1 pint of halved grape tomatoes instead of 3 regular, and left out the cilantro (don't like it). I also used an Italian dressing recipe from this site instead of store bought. Was perfect for a potluck, but made a ton and got watery the longer it sat.

Artichoke Spinach Lasagna

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2004

Very good flavor. I added fresh crimini mushrooms when cooking the onions. I also added a 24 oz container of cottage cheese on top of the mozzarella layer and I used no-boil noodles. The end result was very runny and the broth could be cut to 1 cup and still have plenty of liquid. I could only find 26 oz. jars of sauce.

Quinoa and Black Beans

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2004

I thought this was excellent and very easy. I found the amount of beans just right. I did add a little more cayenne, as well as a generous splash of cider vinegar at the end. Also, as I am not a fan of cilantro, I used the same amount of chives instead.

Haystacks IV

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2003

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these cookies! The recipe I use is slightly different, however. Much less noodles & marshmallows... It uses 6 oz. each chocolate & butterscotch chips, 1 c. peanut butter, 6 oz. chow mein or rice noodles and 2 cups marshmallows. Also easier to melt chips and peanut butter in microwave on medium high power.
