Brown Rice Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2005

Excellent salad! I left out the honey because I prefer the tanginess of the dressing without it. The only change I'll make next time would be to double the spices for a little more flavor.

Fantastic! Instead of almonds, I used a mixture of sundried tomato spread, a fresh minced clove of garlic and a little bit of minced fresh basil. I served it as an appetizer at a dinner party last weekend and it was gone in about 15 minutes.

Simple Spinach Lasagna

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2004

Fantastic recipe! I've made many lasagnas over the years in search of a great one and this one is finally it. A few small changes seemed to give it a boost - I used fresh spinach, I substituted half the cottage cheese with low fat ricotta, I also substituted the water with 1/2 cup red wine and 1/2 cup chicken broth, and finally I divided the mozzarella and put half in the cheese mixture and half on top of the lasagna.

Vegan Black Bean Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2004

Great recipe! I substitute chicken broth for the vegetable broth and cut the amount in half for a more stew-like consistency. I also have experimented with substituting 1 Tbsp. of the chile powder with chipotle chile powder or ancho chile powder - both are nice variations on the original.

Hot or Cold Vegetable Frittata

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2004

This got rave reviews from our guests, most went back for a second helping! I cut back on the veggies a little bit and added a pound of pork sausage cooked with a teaspoon of rubbed sage; cooked the veggies in the sausage drippings.

Classic Spanish Sangria

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2004

I agree with some of the reviewers about using spiced rum (Captain Morgan's) - it adds a unique flavor. I have served this at two parties and both times it was gone before all of the guests had even arrived.

Angel's Pasta

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2003

This was wonderfully quick and easy to make - the only changes I made were that I shredded the zucchini, used canned petite diced tomatoes and added a tablespoon of fresh grated parmesan along with the basil. Will definitely make again!

Ahi Poke Basic

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2003

Terrific! I followed the recipe exactly and was not at all disappointed - delicious. I halved the recipe for two people and we still have leftovers.

White Chili with Ground Turkey

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2003

One of our all time favorites! My only suggestions are to leave out the cinnamon, add frozen corn, and since we're big fans of everything spicy, I swap the monterey jack cheese for habanero cheddar. Top it off with a dollop of low-fat sour cream - spicy & delicious!

Chile Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2002

Very tasty! I doubled the amount of dijon & pasta and used 3 large plum tomatoes. There might be something still missing from this recipe, but it won't stop me from making this again.
