Pasta Shells Florentine

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2003

This recipe is super-tasty straight out of the oven, and healthy too! My only qualm is that the next day, reheated, they tasted a little bit bitter. Cold, they were fine! Go figure!

The flavour of these falafel was different than any falafel I've had, but very, very good. I love the spiciness of them! Based on other people's comments of being too runny, I tried mashing the chickpeas like other recipes suggest, hoping they would be thicker and stick together better. I still had no luck :o( A few of them kind of stayed together, and the rest just ended up as tiny scattered fried pieces. They still worked in a pita, but were not balls by any means!!! The difficulty in preparation is the only reason I gave this recipe 3 stars; otherwise, it was very good. ( I did leave out the cilantro!)

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2003

What can I say? I couldn't keep my fingers out of this dough!! I used reduced-fat butter and substitued unsweetened applesauce for half of it - I couldn't tell at ALL. Scrumptious! Keep an eye out when they're in the oven though, I couldn't tell whether they were "brown" or not so I just took them out after 10 minutes, they didn't look done, but they were.

Chicago Dip

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2003

To this recipe I added a bit more seasoning salt, and a can of chopped water chestnuts. I also used low-fat miracle whip instead of real mayo, which is probably why it was pretty strong and tangy. I would recommend using reduced-fat mayonnaise instead!! However, it was still good, albeit a bit runny for my tastes. Pumpernickel bread was awesome with this. I reduced the onions to about half a cup, which was just right. (I do have strong tastes though!)

Imitation Meatloaf

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2003

I had no thyme for this recipe, so, in a panick, substituted some basil and oregano instead, which I'm sure influenced the flavour! I also used a bit more sauce than was specified, and spread some sauce and ketchup mix on the top. It turned out a little bland but was good with salt and pepper. VERY FILLING, may I add. I grated mozzarella on half the top and parmesan on the other- both were excellent! Sidenote: lentils do not mash very well when they're cold!!! Good recipe though!

Mini Frittatas

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2002

I think I used too much spinach in this one (had to estimate with fresh!) but despite the lumpy texture, they turned out great! I had no lemon pepper but grated a bit of lemon rind into the mix and forgot to add mustard but they were still scrumptious!

Pumpkin Oatmeal

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2002

I ran out of milk and used vanilla yogurt and it was still awesome..I also used a bit of brown sugar on the top. It was a VERY filling breakfast, and fast too!

Basic Baked Spaghetti

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2002

This is great basic recipe, but I really prefer things a bit spicier. Use a flavourful tomato sauce or I spiced mine up with red pepper flakes, basil and a pre-mixed spicy flavouring shaker. Parmesan on top was also a treat! I substituted 1.5 cups dry TVP (So Soya) for the ground beef; this worked well!

Soft Zucchini Spice Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2002

I have made these cookies several times and they are EXCELLENT with chocolate chips. I also substituted half the butter with applesauce once and it seemed to make no difference. Very moist, almost cakelike in texture. Zucchini-haters devoured these!

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2002

These muffins are yummy...I ran out of pumpkin and used more applesauce and they still worked!! Would be a bit more interesting with cream cheese or cinnamon sugar on top though.

Zucchini Bake

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2002

Bland as is, but after adding some salt and serving with ketchup or salsa (or some hot peppers, perhaps?) it was improved greatly.

Easy Fusili with Tomato Pesto Sauce

Reviewed: May 30, 2002

Excellent recipe... I used garlic-flavoured tomatoes and it was still a tad bland. Would be good with fresh basil, maybe feta cheese for more flavour. Tastes like a decadent restaurant meal!

Vegetarian Moussaka

Reviewed: May 26, 2002

THis is an amazing recipe! I prefer to omit the feta between layers and just put it on top...you can taste it better that way! I also add more potatoes, zucchini and lentils to fill up the 9x13 pan a bit better. I also grill the vegetables to avoid the use of oil. Smells delcious while cooking!
