Extremely flavorful chicken! We also used panko bread crumbs. Next time I'll use a pan with low sides because I suspect the high side on the corningware kept it from fully browning in the last 15 minutes even though it was uncovered.

Fresh Asparagus Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2012

Simple and yummy! I used asparagus and leaks that were in this week's box from our local crop share. Per comments, I chopped the veggies small and simmered for about 20 minutes. Since I didn't have yogurt or sour cream on hand, I used an allrecipes substitution of 1 tablespoon lemon juice in 1 cup of heavy cream which supplied the tartness. At this point I let it cool and put it in the refrigerator until we were ready for dinner. Then I reheated it and use the immersion blender again before finishing with the lemon juice and cheese.

Warm Potato & Green Bean Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2011

As I said in the intro, this is a variation on a lot of other ideas, but this was what my partner and I envisioned. The reception from extended family far exceeded our hopes.

Winter White Sangria

Reviewed: May 5, 2010

Best if you can make a few hours ahead or the night before to allow flavors to blend and the drink to chill - then you don't need to add ice which dilutes the drink. I used a moscato which is an extremely sweet wine to begin with, so I use 1/2 the sugar. I recommend superfine or powdered sugar which dissolves more easily. I zest the citrus into the liquid before cutting the fruit which puts more fruit flavor in the sangria. I don't use grapes because I don't think they absorb the wine nor add flavor to the mix. I save adding the soda until just before serving to keep the fizz. Club soda is good, but sometimes I use ginger beer (from Trader Joe's) for a nice spicy snap. Salud!

Refried Beans Without the Refry

Reviewed: May 5, 2010

Amazingly good and low-fat! S.O. loves these 'de la olla' as well as refrito. These will be a family staple going forward. Thank you for this recipe.

Turkey Posole

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2006

Even as a picky eater, my husband finds this quite delicious. Easy to make, tastes great and authentic (to what I've had living with a family in Cuernavaca, Mexico) even using turkey.

Instant Russian Tea

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2006

My four stars is more a reflection of ingredient (un)availability than of the recipe as written. I went to three different grocery store chains and could not find instant tea mix wasn't pre-sweetened as well as lemon-flavored. To compensate, I eliminated the added sugar from the recipe all together. I also reduced the lemonade powder (for the 24 servings scale) from 3 oz. to 1 oz (i.e., three envelopes of unsweetened Kool-Aid-type lemonade mix). I'm definitely keeping this handy all winter!

Butterscotch Sauce

Reviewed: May 12, 2004

I also had problems with cooked egg in the sauce and strained it out. Next time I'll try warming the whole egg in hot tap water to temper it to see if that makes a difference.
