Egg and Cheese Puffs

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2011

Good stuff! Made it exactly as printed with addition of tabasco. Basically this is a crustless quiche and could be a vehicle for artichoke hearts with feta cheese or mushrooms and roasted red pepper with brie which I plan to try next. The sky is the limit with this basic recipe! Thank you!!

Oven Roasted Trout with Lemon Dill Stuffing

Reviewed: May 21, 2011

Good stuff! To make the soft bread crumbs, I used fresh sourdough bread (with crusts trimmed) and pulsed it in the food processor until they were pea sized (& smaller). Added more garlic and more dill (3T) and 1T lemon juice. Next time will try caramelizing the onions as per another reviewer.

Almond-Topped Fish

Reviewed: May 14, 2011

Rave reviews from my guests! Used sliced almonds, toasted first in a skillet and freshly caught sea bass. Yum! It needed at bit more lemon at the end, but that made for an even more beautiful presentation.

Fresh Cherry Cobbler

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2011

Great recipe! Followed it to a tee and baked for 55 min. The corners were almost caramelized and absolutely delicious! We had some sour pitted cherries frozen back from last summer that when thawed had about 1/4 cup of juice. Poured that on after placing the cherries on the batter. Definitely a keeper!

Very rich! I used pepperidge farms pastry sheets cut into squares per another reviewer's suggestion. Will try pillsbury crescent rolls next time to compare.

Crab Ceviche

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2009

Really flavorful! We used fresh dungeness crab and used only 2 peppers as it had plenty of heat for us. Avocado is a definite must have addition! Will become a regular keeper for when we go crabbing! Thanks!

Connie's Zucchini 'Crab' Cakes

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2009

Really good way to use up zucchini from the garden. I didn't dredge in flour first and they turned out great! Served with either lite sour cream or applesauce. Used shallots instead of onions and added some parmesan. Will make again and again until zucchini season is finally over!

Raspberry Almond Coffeecake

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009

I made 2 batches of the dough and prepared the cake in a 10 inch springform pan. Increased the raspberries by about 50% (and brown sugar). Turned out really well!!! Next time I may add a bit of almond extract to the dough to make it more almondy (is that a word?)!

Feta Cheese Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: May 9, 2009

Good and easy, but it could use a bit more flaver. Will make again and add a splash of worcestershire and use a tzaziki sauce as others have suggested.

Mexican-Style Taco Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2009

I used 1 can of chili beans with 1 tsp. oregano and a pinch of cayenne, instead of the kidney beans and spices. All the rest was the same as written. It was very tasty! Also good the next day as chili with cheese and corn chips! Will use this a a regular addition to our weekly menus. Good recipe!

Apple Raisin French Toast Strata

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2009

Was good, but a bit bland. Will try it again with cinnamon swirl bread and fewer raisins but add pecans on top. Might try adding a splash of rum and serve it for dessert. Great potential!

My Mom's Parmesan Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009

Made this with chicken tenders and they were a bit dry (due to the meat, not the recipe). Didn't use the wine, and only used 1T. butter. Used panko instead of bread crumbs. Very good recipe. Would be great with fish (halibut, rockfish) as well. I bought some boneless chicken thighs to make it again tomorrow. They should be more moist than the tenders. Will definitely keep this as an easy go to recipe. Thanks!

Spinach and Orzo Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2009

Great potluck recipe! Makes more than 8 servings, I'd say more like 10 servings. Needs ~1 tsp salt as well as fresh ground black pepper. Added artichoke hearts and olives as per others' suggestion. Used less oil and vinegar (maybe cut down by 25%). Would be great vehicle for other veggies as well (blanched broccoli, zucchini, etc.).

Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie)

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2009

I use 1/2 of an onion and use one of those large plastic tubs of spinach. Definitely need to squeeze out the water! I also add a bit of dill and nutmeg to the spinach/egg mixture to add flavor. Very good and fun to make!

Broccoli and Tortellini Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2009

Really good, but too sweet as written! I use 1/4 cup sugar instead of the 1/2 cup called for. Also blanch the broccoli first to make it more tender. Great for potlucks and large gatherings!
