Harvest Rice Dish

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2011

Loved this! Toasting almonds was a great recommendation. I created too much orange zest by mistake and included about 50% more than the recipe which I wouldn't repeat. Next time I'll try with less butter (for health, not taste) and I think it will work. This dish was a hit with all and will definitely be repeated!

Layered Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2010

Loved it! It's not pretty but the flavour is fantastic! My seven year old had THREE helpings and my in-laws were impressed. Will definitely make many times.

Crunchy Romaine Toss

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2010

This salad was OK ... just OK. I made it to serve guests after reading the rave reviews and we were all disappointed. I won't make it again.

Cheddar Cabbage Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009

This recipe was really popular with my husband and young kids. True comfort food on a cool night too! Next time I would use even more cabbage ... it was too creamy for me but the flavour was great.

Caramel Apple Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2009

Good recipe. I exchanged half the oil for applesauce and nuts for dried cranberries (kids won't eat nuts!) I made the cake in a regular pan and found the cooking time far too long. I cut it by 25 minutes and the crust was still too dry. Will definitely make again with adjustments to cooking time.

Brunch Enchiladas

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2007

We used vegetarian sausage in place of ham. The recipe was a winner with all of our guests!

Baked Pasta

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2007

This recipe was fine but nothing special. Brown gravy gave it a slightly strange flavour and I doubt I'll make again.

Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2007

Not special but a good recipe for a family meal. A bit spicy for little ones but nice for adults. We used a soy "chicken" substitute and found it worked well. Will attempt with tofu another time.

Blenty of Blintzes

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2006

I thought this was terrible. I followed the recipe exactly and it was too salty, unpleasant in texture and otherwise essentially bland. My husband (who likes all food) found it pretty unpleasant and my son wouldn't eat it at all. Will definitely not make again.

Fabulous Cilantro Pesto

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2006

We just hated this! Followed the recipe exactly and found it inedible. It might be improved by the suggested lemon juice instead of vinegar but I won't be trying it again to find out.

Orange Glazed Carrots

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2005

I thought these carrots were OK but nothing special. They looked very pretty & glazed but tasted very simply like carrots with orange juice & brown sugar. Not sure what I expected but had hoped for something a bit more "special."

Green Bean Casserole I

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2005

This recipe was a huge hit at Christmas dinner and worked very well to make ahead. I simply prepared the sauce & stuffing topping then assembled and refrigerated until cooking time. Might try with brocolli & cauliflower next time.

Kickin' London Broil with Bleu Cheese Butter

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2005

This rating is for the Bleu Cheese Butter only ... used the butter to top a salad with organic greens and balsamic marinated portabello mushrooms (sliced). Absolutely fantastic!! Great for a first or second course in a special meal and easy to prepare.

Gorgonzola and Olive Stuffed Grape Leaves

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2005

The filling had an excellent flavour but did not work well for us in grape leaves. The process of stuffing the leaves was onerous and they were messy to eat. We ended up using the filling as a "bruchetta" on small toasts of bread. That was very well received for flavour but didn't look too appealing. Might use again as part of an hors d'oeuvres tray but would never try the grape leaves again. Interesting experiment though!

Puttanesca or Kalamata Kwik Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2005

An excellent recipe. Very full of flavour and spicier than you might expect. Perfect for an adult crowd but not recommended for children.

Annie's Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2005

Fantastic! I used apricot brandy rather than fruit preserves and a bit of Certo to thicken. This recipe was a HUGE hit and will be used over and over again! Perfect for dessert at a summer bbq.

Hot or Cold Vegetable Frittata

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2005

This was excellent warm or room temperature. A big hit at a buffet dinner party and for leftovers the night after. Another time I would make it with only one package of cream cheese. With two it was a bit overwhelming and over-rich. Generally, an excellent recipe!

Lite Carrot Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2004

Excellent recipe. My only complaint was that it wasn't quite a moist as most carrot cake but I guess that's the price you pay for a healthier version. I made cupcakes for my son's first birthday using this recipe and topped them with cream cheese icing. Bigger kids (including grandparents!) got to top them with jellybeans and mini-M&Ms and they were a big hit.

Cavatappi with Spinach, Garbanzo Beans, and Feta

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2002

I tend to make everything SPICY ... this was a nice, flavourful departure that didn't leave me feeling disappointed. I didn't strictly measure the flavours of salt, pepper and lemon but used them according to taste. It tasted super!

Broccoli Quiche with Mashed Potato Crust

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2002

This recipe is quite generic but the beautiful part is the potato crust. I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian who does NOT like pastry. This recipe led to a new appreciation for quiche! I've made it with spinach and veggie sausage, asparagus and veggie ham ... the key to success is the wonderful potato crust!
