Crustless Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2012

Great starter recipe. I love the fact that it is crustless. I use 16 oz of Egg Beaters, whatever cheese we have on hand (although I have never used 3 cups!) and sometimes add meat or not. It's great with sun dried tomatoes and roasted red bell peppers, heck whatever veggies you have on hand.

Crispy Oven-Fried Fish Fillets

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2010

I used Catfish fillets and cut them in half. NO WAY they were cooked in 10 minutes. Pulled them out, put right back in for another 8 minutes. Taste was good, instruction off if you have anything but a super thin cut of fish.

Asian Lettuce Wraps

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2010

I liked the sauce on the meat, but I prefer my water chestnuts and veggies crispy and separate to top with, not mixed in with the meat.

Shrimp Tacos

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2010

I should have trusted my instincts. Honey and shrimp? Not good. The salsa was good, but the shrimp were strangly sweet and smelled odd. And practically a clove of garlic per serving might have been too much. It's a pass on this one.

Marinated Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2010

These were great, kids even loved them. I would reduce the tomato sauce and or increase the vinegar next time. Just a tad too sweet for my taste, but the family loved them. Don't be afraid of the cayenne.... just a hint of heat. Good recipe!

Grilled Pork Rub

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010

Too sweet for our taste. I cut the brown sugar down to 1 tbsp and it was better.

Caribbean Holiday Shrimp

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010

These were very tasty. We like it spicy so I might add extra pepper flakes next time.

Gravy Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2010

This is a super easy recipe and doesn't require any special ingredients. I had two 2-inch thick chops and I made a couple of changes based on previous reviews. I seasoned chops with salt, pepper, garlic and onion and we seared them on the grill. My gravy was 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, 2 fresh bay leaves, 1 tbsp worchestershire, 1 can milk, 2 tbsp dijon mustard and one crushed garlic clove. I baked at 300f for 1.5 hours covered and 30 minutes uncovered. Fabulous! Thanks for the easy recipe!

Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2010

I was looking for a recipe to use up some ingredients I had on hand. I used a 24 oz package of frozen cubed potatoes so I had to make some adjustments. I used 1 can of potato soup, 1 cup of sour cream and about 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar. Reading a previous review, I thawed and browned my taters a little before putting it all together. I added onion and garlic too. I used about 2 cups of cubed ham instead of dicing it. I love to find recipes that I can use like this - adjusting to what I have in the cubbard. Simple, easy and tasty! Thanks! The whole family loved it!

Easy Spiced Brown Rice With Corn

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2009

Good basic recipe. I used garlic spiced chicken broth, added peas and corn and a can of fire roasted tomatoes. Because of the extra liquid, I used 1/4 cup more of the rice. Cumin, oregano, onion and pepper. Nice side dish.

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009

Great recipe! I added 1 tbsp worchestershire sauce and reduced the sugar to just 1/2 tbsp white sugar. Great and easy! Kids ate it with onions and bell pepper because I diced them very small and they couldn't see them!

Italian Peas

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2008

Eggplant Tomato Bake

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2008

I had a small to medium sized eggplant and was looking for ideas. This was it! I peeled the eggplant to get the kids to eat it. I would like to try it with the peel on. I sprayed the eggplant pieces with a little olive oil and used dried basil and salt and pepper(can't wait to try with a fresh basil leaf). I topped each eggplant with a bit of parmesan, placed tomato slice on top with a little bit of salt and baked for 15 minutes. I then put on a thin slice of fresh mozzarella and put under the broiler to toast. It was fantastic! At first I told the kids it was potatoes and they loved it! Then they asked what was the green part, so confessed. A definate addition to the family table.

Turtle Cake I

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2008

I make this for friends at work and it is always a hit. I also cut the butter to 1/2 cup. I have made it with walnuts and pecans and both turn out well. Once I added some Heath toffee pieces and that was a hit too. I dust the top with a little powdered sugar to put a finished look on it.

Asparagus, Feta and Couscous Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2007

I used some roasted asparagus I had left over and it really made this recipe. Try with grilled or roasted asparagus for a fabulous variation.

Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House Dressing

Fabulous dressing! Very vinegary, but I like that. I used it on the Greek Couscous Salad for a crowd from this site. I scaled it down to 15 and it made alot.

Parmesan Zucchini Spears

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2007

We do this all the time in the summer. Buy the smaller zucchini and cut each into 4 wedges. A little olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasonings. Voila! Sprinkle with the cheese when done. Also good drizzled with Balsamic Vinegar after removed from the grill.

Crawfish and Corn Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2007

We loved this soup! I used the crawfish from our boil that I had frozen and it was perfect! It added another layer of flavor. I used regular corn without added sugar and semi pureed it instead of the cream style corn. As suggested, I added a couple of caps of Zatarain's liquid boil and it was fabulous. I think I will try this with shrimp.

Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2007

We loved this. Pretty close to what a favorite restaurant makes. I cut out the horseradish and added jalapenos. I also added tomato paste to thicken it up, lemon rind and Zataranis liquid shrimp boil for a kick. Wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!
