Very nice blend! I added dried chives for the heck of it and even though I didn't have any beef bouillon granules, the taste was really good! The dried onion I have seemed a little too large but worked just fine. If I make a bulk batch I would put the onion flakes, parsley and chives in a food processor and pulse a couple times so it doesn't separate when stored.

Dad's Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2012

Incredible. I don't think I made any changes other than subbing spelt flour for regular. Keeper.

Jalapeno Strawberry Jam

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2011

This was my first experience with making jam and it turned out beautifully. Unfortunately my jalapenos molded before I got around to making this so I omitted them. My husband and I freaked at the amount of sugar it called for so we stopped at 4 cups. I was afraid it wouldn't gel but not so - It's perfect. Next time I can't wait to make it spicy :)

Spiced Chai Concentrate

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2011

Delicious!!! No reason to ever buy chai concentrate. I omitted the black pepper but other than that I prepared as written.

Split-Second Cookies

Mine turned out flat but that didn't stop us from devouring them. Great shortbread-type flavor.

Chicken Wild Rice Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2011

Hearty and delicious! Through a shopping error we only had boneless thighs on hand. The extra flavor (gamey-ness) of the thighs really complimented the herbs and veggies even though we're strictly a chicken breast type family. I used leeks because we had them and omitted the creamy soup and it turned out fantastic. We'll make this again and again.

Real Hummus

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2011

My husband and I made an amped up garlic version and it is out of this world! I also added some diced chipotle (on top, not mixed in) and it is so good I will never buy pre-made again. We were inspired to soak our own chickpeas because this recipe turned out so well.

Ranch Dressing II

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2011

This is the ranch dressing recipe I've been looking for - herby not sweet and can be thinned with milk or kept thick for dipping. I was out of chives so I upped the onion powder to 1/2 tsp, upped the garlic to 1/2 tsp as well because we're garlic lovers and omitted the pepper due to dietary concerns. Still a very nice flavor profile. I halved the mayo and just thinned slightly with 2 Tbsp whole milk. Perfect!

Tahini Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2011

Crumbly, but pretty good. I added flax seeds since I had them but next time I'll add raisins or dates, maybe figs. I really like the wholesome flavor and I think a little more honey and more baking time will help firm them up.

Homemade Flour Tortillas

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2011

Excellent - I wouldn't change a thing. Except that I used spelt flour with a smidge of xanthan gum to make up for the lack of gluten. Perfecto!

Mexican Sour Cream Rice

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2011

Add a little bit more flavor and this dish is perfect. I added 1 Tbsp of taco seasoning and used HOT diced green chilies. Also I heard that cilantro gets bitter when chopped so I tore the leaves. Time consuming but I think it makes a difference. Excellent side dish or main dish if you add chopped chicken!

Salsa Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2011

A family favorite already! This is a really simple recipe when you want a flavorful, simple and healthy chicken dish. Goes well with rice and beans ... pretty much like a taco shop dinner but way healthier! A no-fuss, FAST dinner that's in rotation.

Nice to find different flavors in pickling. My husband didn't even notice there were radishes in here. (He can't stand them.)

Wicked Garlic Tofu Saute

Nice! My family loves garlic so this went over well. I used a tablespoon of arrowroot powder to thicken the sauce. Very good.

Terry's Texas Pinto Beans

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2011

Great flavor in this recipe. I think my beans were too old so some ended up crunchy. I'll make this again and maybe try to make refries out of it.

Jalapeno Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2011

Good flavor, repeatable. For two chicken breasts I would at least halve the rub and probably cut back the cinnamon a little bit more. The sauce was fine but I'd prefer to try it with fresh jalapenos next time. I think the can kept the sauce from thickening. It's nice to find a dish with flavor so I'll probably make this again with adjustments for the amount of chicken.
