Dijon-Tarragon Cream Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2012
This was really good. It reminded me of the chicken my Mother use to make. I didn't have any tarragon so I subbed it with Thyme. Used half and half instead of heavy cream and added about a 1/4 cup of chicken stock for more flavor. My fiance asked me to add it to the save list for the future which really surprised me as he doesn't usually ask me to repeat a recipe without asking me to add chillies to it next time.. LOL... It must be a winner

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2011
I found this was missing Flavor!! the sauce is good but unless you drown your meat in it I didn't find it very exciting and the BF asked me not to make it again... that never happens.

These were a great change from the same old dinners! I get these sometimes at a Asian restaurant and mine turned out better! I did add mushrooms and zucchini as well used spicy Italian sausage out of the casing instead of ground beef!

Amazing! I omitted the mayo and replaced it with 1T honey and added the sauce to the inside as well. Baked at 350 instead of the high temperature recommended. Turned out fantastic. A keeper!

Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2010
The topping had little flavor and I added seasoned breadcrumbs. Maybe toasting the nuts prior to would bring out the nuttiness in the pecans. It needed a little something more.

Banana Nut Oatmeal

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2010
My new favorite way to have oatmeal in the morning. Except I just cooked the oatmeal in water added a bit of milk to thin out after. Used chopped raw almonds instead of walnuts. And I add cinnamon but no sweeter. I prefer to not start the day with any sugar but that's just me.

Baked Pears

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2010
This was great quick way to use up ripe pears I had on hand. The only thing I change was the butter I used 1 teaspoon for the 2 pears and cooked for 30mins. The pears still had a bite but were spoon tender but my pears were very ripe!

Broccoli and Tortellini Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2010
This was ok. I made it because I had both tortellini and broccoli in the fridge for different recipes and needed to use them up. I didn't add bacon and used plain yogurt instead of mayo to keep the fat content of this salad in check. Worked as a good way to use up ingredients in the fridge

Strawberry Lassi

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2010
This was great but the recipe was more of a smoothie than a lassi. I added a spiced salt blend that I use for Raita and it worked out well. Next time may add some cardamom as well to make it more authentic.

Thai-Style Tilapia

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2010
Doubled the sauce like other suggested and added a handful of cilantro to the blender also added more garlic and ginger and lemon grass than was called for. Turned out really well. I'm a huge Thai food fan, and even though I would make this recipe again I felt like something was missing that gives Thai food that uniqueness.
