Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2011

These were great! I have made them many times. They are a little sweet, which we like. You could leave the brown sugar out. Tonight I made nachos with the mixture, adding cheese onto the chips and baking a little in the oven, then serving with guacamole and salsa. Wonderful! You could make a burrito with the leftovers, freeze them, then pop them in the microwave.

Braised Balsamic Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2011

We love balsamic vinegar. I cut it down to 1/3 cup and thought it was still too strong. Maybe adding a little sugar would help. My husband liked it anyway!

Chocolate Cream Pudding

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2011

I have no idea what went wrong, but it never thickened. It also didn't taste good...actually was strange tasting chocolate soup. Maybe my cornstarch didn't work??

Chicken, Asparagus, and Mushroom Skillet

Reviewed: May 18, 2010

Sorry guys...I love all the ingredients but all we could taste was the asparagus. It just didn't have any "zip" at all. I added onion and a little extra wine to it also. I don't think I'll make it again.

Key Lime Pie VII

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2010

I made it as written. It was a little sweet for us...I wish it had been a little more tart. Very creamy texture and easy to make!

Broccoli Casserole III

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009

This was a fantastic recipe and I only made two small changes. I mixed in a little bread crumbs with the cracker crumbs. Some people thought the crackers were too overpowering. I also used Velveeta and cheddar cheese and added a little half and half when I melted some of the velveets before putting it on the broccoli. I will definitely make this again and got many rave reviews when I made it.

Cranberry Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009

Great cranberry sauce. It did have a pretty strong orange flavor, which we loved. I made it exactly as written.

Penne with Shrimp

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009

Great low cal recipe! I added extra garlic, fresh basil and red pepper flakes as others suggested. I also added a little extra wine. My sauce cooked at a higher temperature than it should have, so it coooked down quite a bit, but was still wonderful. It was a very light pasta dish and I will be making it often!

The Meatball that Fell Off the Table

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2009

I am a nutmeg lover, but thought it gave the meatballs a strange taste when combined with the cream of mushroom soup. I'll stick with my old meatball recipe.

Lemon Herbed Salmon

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2008

This was wonderful. We eat salmon often and I am always looking for a different way to cook it. I may try substituting the butter with olive oil to make it a little more healthy...I'll see how it tastes!

Jamie's Minestrone

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2005

This is my favorite recipe from allrecipes.com. Absolutely wonderful! I have substituted vegetables for what I have had on hand. It is a thick hearty soup and also freezes well. You might need to add a little extra broth or water if it thickens too much.

Garlic Cheddar Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2005

I was really disappointed with this. I did use preshredded cheddar cheese and a brand name. It never melted. It tasted like a commercial frozen meal! Not a keeper!
