Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2009

Excellent! I scaled up the recipe, but tried to keep the volume of mango, tomato, and avocado equal to each other, because I thought balancing the colors would make it more visually appealing. So I used 2 mangoes, 3 avocados, and enough quartered cherry tomatoes to make it look balanced. Took it to a pot luck and it got devoured, even though the habanero pepper I used made it very spicy. Only criticism is that it takes a long time to make--so much chopping.

Marie's Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009

This was the first thing I made in my new slow cooker. It's just okay without the gravy, but with the gravy, it was amazing.

White Bean, Spinach, and Barley Stew

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009

Easy to make. We brought it to a potluck and our friends nearly finished off the whole bowl. I wonder if the people who found it bland might have used plain diced tomatoes rather than Italian style. I found it it have lots of flavor, although it was a bit on the salty side for me. I think next time I'll look for low salt Italian-style tomatoes.

Meatiest Vegetarian Chili from your Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009

I like spicy food, but this chili was inedibly spicy, even though I used only 3/4 the amount of chili powder called for and no pepper sauce. I guess different chili powders vary greatly in how spicy they are. I recommend using only 1 tablespoon to start with, and then adding more to taste.

Cinnamon Carrot Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2006

I used raisins in place of the nuts (due to an allergy). It turned out pretty well. It had a little bit of a charred odor to it even though the center was barely done, but that may be the fault of my oven or pan rather than the recipe.
