Skillet Beef and Macaroni

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009

I made with corkscrew pasta as that was all I had. I added roasted garlic when browning the beef, and also threw in a small can of tomato paste and some chili powder. Used red pepper vs. green. Served with grated sharp cheddar and a dollop of greek yogurt. Easy, fast, cheap = a weeknight winner!

Savory Crescent Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2008

This was very tasty! I baked chicken tenderloins with olive oil, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. I also sauteed baby portobello mushrooms and diced them up, adding them to the filling mix. Skipped the pimentos, doubled the cream cheese and threw in a handful of grated sharp cheddar. Skipped the croutons and just brushed the rolls with melted butter. These reminded me more of mini pot pies than sandwiches; my husband was in heaven. Really rich & really good!

Chicken Gruyere with Sauteed Mushrooms

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2007

Gave this one 4 stars because it was very tasty, but still needed a little extra something. I added thyme to the coating and garlic to the veggie sautee; served with lemon broccoli on the side. An easy and savory recipe!

Chocolate Banana Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2007

Very good, very chocolatey. I added extra milk chocolate chips and a little extra cocoa. Baking time is a little off - 70 minutes will get the center cooked through. (I baked for 65 minutes and center was still a little wet.) Delicious, though.

Bacon Quiche Tarts

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2007

YUM! I made this today for a happy crowd, and it didn't disappoint. Following the lead from other folks' feedback, I used a lot more bacon (a whole package), added it to the egg mixture, and used a package of Grands flaky biscuits. Easy, savory, tasty!

French Beef Stew

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2006

So wonderful! I made the following tweaks: omitted the thyme (didn't have any), added a chopped red onion and plenty of minced garlic. Also added a splash of worchestershire and a bit of red wine per other reviews. Served with warm biscuits for dipping - even better the next day. Thanks for the recipe!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread II

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2005

Soooo good - moist and chocolatey! I halved the recipe to make one loaf, and used Egg Beaters instead of eggs. Anyone know of a good substitute for the shortening? I used it but cringed when I thought of the added fat. But - so worth it. Totally delicious, especially when still warm from the oven!

Classy Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2005

Yum! Loved this recipe. Took the lead from other reviewers and added an entire package of sliced baby bella mushrooms. Also doubled the garlic and sundried toms. Only 7 points per serving if you're on Weight Watchers. Paired as suggested with steamed broccoli. No leftovers! Thanks for the awesome recipe.

Spinach Mushroom Quiche

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2005

YUM! I made a few modifications for my weight-watching self: half the butter, reduced fat crescent rolls, skim milk instead of half and half, 1 cup of egg beaters instead of the eggs. Baked for 45 minutes per other reviews - perfecto!

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2005

Loved it! I am doing Weight Watchers so I made the following modifications: sprinkled garlic salt directly on the tilapia and gave it a squeeze of lemon before broiling. Broiled 2 min per side, then added a lighter version of the topping: sprayed each filet with with a few shots of "I Can't Believe it's not Butter" spray, dabbed each piece with a bit of MIracle Whip, tossed on a scant sprinkle of fresh parmesan, added a little fresh-ground pepper and another squeeze of lemon. Broiled 2 more min for a delicious, quick, and very healthy dinner!

Beef Fillets With Stilton-Portobello Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2005

This tasted wonderful but the gray sauce was extremely unappetizing to look at; I had to close my eyes with each bite. Variations to make this a 5-star delight: - get rid of the sour cream and just serve the marinated mushrooms on the side; - brown the filets for 2 min on each side, then move to a 375-degree oven for 10 minutes for a perfect medium-rare; - replace the tarrogon rub with course salt and pepper. YUM! Definitely the best-tasting filet ever...but I reiterate that the gray sauce looks almost too unappetizing to eat. Omit the sour cream, and proudly serve to guests!

Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2004

This was so easy and yummy! I took a tip from other's reviews and skipped the flour; I also loaded up on the garlic and thickened the sauce with 2 tsp. cornstarch. Used a ton of sliced portabella mushrooms - it was easy and delicious! Served with a side of garlic mashed potatos.

Crab Quiche I

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2003

Oh man, was this good. I made this as an entree for company with a simple salad - used just under a pound of lump crab, 3 eggs, and added some black pepper and fresh garlic. Easy, very rich, and impressive. I love this site!

Tomato Pie I

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2003

Very tasty; I omitted the bacon and used 1/2 mozzarella, 1/2 cheddar. Also added a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic over the top just before baking. A nice way to use up the tomatoes from the garden!

Baked Ziti I

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2003

WOW. This was really terrific baked ziti. I followed the recipe exactly, but added a bunch of garlic to the meat - yum! I used one of the brands of sauce made especially for baked pasta - 2 jars worked out perfectly. Baked covered except for the last 5 minutes, when I put it under the broiler to bubble and brown the cheese. Went great with a caesar salad and garlic bread; the provolone and sour cream were just right.

Bob's Awesome Lasagna

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2003

I love this lasagna! I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese, and added LOTS of yummy garlic. So good, and the leftovers were even better. Thanks for a great recipe!

Chicken Satay

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2003

Wow. This was easy and looked impressive. Doubled the peanut butter and added extra garlic; it wasn't very spicy, so if you like it hot, definitely turn up the cumin. Marinated mine overnight and broiled for 5 min on each side - smelled great and turned out very moist and savory. This site is turning me into a culinary force to be reckoned with! My husband is pleased.
