Lemon Chicken Piccata

Reviewed: May 15, 2012

I used panko crumbs in place of the flour. This sure was delicious. A very fresh taste w/the fresh lemon. I serve it with steamed white rice with lemon & cilantro

Delicious and super simple. I sprayed the slow cooker (as suggested by another review)for easy clean up and yes, it was a breeze. I did not have root beer so i used ginger ale and it was delicious. Oh yeah, and I used pork shoulder instead of the more costly pork loin. Its so nice to walk in and smell a great dinner and I dont have to do too much to get it on the table. Highly recommend this dish

Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 29, 2012

Simple and delicious. I have made this multiple times with low fat evaporated milk in place of the heavy cream. I also bought the already shreaded parmesan cheese and this could not be simpler and quicker.

Sesame Beef Bites

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2012

Another phenomenal dish from Allrecipes.com. I used thick cut rib eye steak and followed the recipe as written. I marinaded it over night though and this was quite a hit for my Valentine and I. Served with white rice and steamed broccoli. Outstanding! I forgot to put the sesame seeds though and that would have made it even better....next time

Asian Lettuce Wraps

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2012

I made this as written except I used textured vegetable protein (TVP) in place of the ground meat for my vegetarian offspring and myself. This dish is PHENOMENAL! I love asian lettuce wraps and order them at the Yardhouse every time I go. these were just as good but No Meat. I know an added bonus is the way I made has FAR less fat, cholesterol and calories. This is my new favorite food....

Real Hummus

Reviewed: Feb. 11, 2012

Ive been using this as a beginning point for Hummus for years! you may add cilantro to make a different flavor. I also use chipotle chilis with a little of the sauce they come in too. chipotles can be really spicy so be cautious. other times i use cumin for flavor...great healthy meal or dip

Quinoa Chili

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2011

Made this vegetarian by using the soy ground beef crumbles in place of ground beef... I have been wanting to try quinoa for the longesst and this is a great way to try it. i used organic vegetable broth from TJs to cook the grain . It reminded me of grits but with an oomph! I think I will have to warm my teenager up to quinoa though. he is veg but this grain has a weird (but weird in a good way) texture. hes the type that dosent like things because of texture. I also kept the quinoa separate from the chili because everyone says it soaks up all the juice. i put the chili in a bowl, topped with quinoa and chopped fresh cilantro and MAN is this delicious

Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011

I made the Northern India version by adding 1 TBS of the seasoning, Masala in place of oregano, bay leaf and basil. As suggested by others, i used less oil and more carrot, celery and garlic. It came out like a thick stew rather than a soup. This is such a delicious and heartwarming food for a rainy night. i served it over white rice but brown rice would probably have been good as well.

Spicy Sausage and Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2011

I made the 30 minute stove top version, it was quick and it was delicious! Instead of the cayenne, I stirred in a tablespoon of homemade pesto sauce...

Creamy Chipotle Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2011

Delicious but unfortunately i forgot to put the cream cheese in...i suppose it saved some calories, fat and sodium though. i did not think about making this in advance so i just made it on the stovetop. i suppose it wasnt really this recipe but it did have all the flavors of the original recipe--i just prepared it in a different manner. i added rice to the pan and cooked for 10 minutes. Then i added cauliflower and carrot cut up, covered and cooked for 12 minutes more. The Most Delicious Flavor. I love chipotle.

Tacos in Pasta Shells

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2011

In order to make this vegetarian for my son, i used Boca crumbles in place of the ground beef. I also used Small shells instead of large and this is more like a hamburger helper type dish but WAAAY better. My son really loved this dish. We put thinly sliced cabbage, diced roma tomatoes, green onions, guacamole and sour cream on the top--chips on the side, not mixed in. We definitely loved this and will definitely make over again. Did I saw it was Quick too?? i made the crumbles and the sauce in one pan and boiled the little shells in another pan. once both were cooked, i drained the water from the pasta and threw into the pan with the crumbles. stirred well and placed on the plates with the toppings i mentioned above and the shredded cheeses. Freezer to table about 25 minutes

Mexican-Style Goulash

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2011

Fast and easy but not really that thrilling. It reminded me of hamburger helper. I used boca vegetarian crumbles instead of ground beef and could not tell meat was missing. My vegetarian son ate two servings. We put shredded cabbage, cilantro, green onions, homemade salsa, and light sour cream on top. He asked for the corn to be on the side--he doesnt like the look of corn in the meal....

Orange Pecan French Toast

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2011

I think i know the reason for soggy results. You must use bread with a dry texture. Moist whole wheat or moist white bread will not absorb the liquid. Dry texture white bread like the days old italian i used worked perfectly! The second time I made this, I used half the sugar for the topping and did not put any sugar into the egg mixture.I think much better. the first time i made this and followed the directions exactly, it was pretty sweet. Hands down, this is the best sweet thing i ever made and ate! I made this in two layers in an 9 x 13 baking dish and poured the milk/OJ/egg mix over top BOTH slices of bread. NOTE: the amount of serving says 12 but double layered, i got 4 servings out of this. To get 12 servings it must be a 1 x 1 inch square serving. Not enough food! There is no way i can make this a low fat, low sugar thing and still taste this good so I'm not going to try. I will eat this full fat and enjoy every minute of it.

Chicken and Biscuit Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

UPDATE: i tried using better biscuits (last time i used the cheap ones, store brand) i used Grands biscuits this time. I took A LOT longer to cook, 45 minutes or so and i had to flip the biscuits over so the other side got cooked. the outside of the biscuit was beautiful but the inside was a little doughy. I MUST think of a solution because the flavor of this dish is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! i just love this dish.......9*11*11 This is OMG delicious! I used frozen mixed veggies (green beans, lima beans, peas, and cubed carrots) and for the top, i used refrigerated biscuits! it was ready in about 30 minutes....super simple and delicious! I thought the tsp of sugar would make this too sweet but it was perfect. loved it

Sean's Falafel and Cucumber Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2011

I really enjoyed making these and the sauce was out of this world! My son and I went to a Greek resturant and had falfel--I KNEW I could make them better and I did with the help of this recipe. Even though the recipes says not to use the blender, I used the food processor and it came out very good. Mine did fall apart but I do not think that was due to the food processor. I think mine were too moist and I needed one more egg. I did not use canned garbanzos. I made them from scratch. Delicious!

Basil Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2010

Always a hit...Very simple, quick and delicious. I used vegetable broth for my vegetarian son and evaporated low fat milk to lighten it up.. I'm having it now with a grilled cheese sandwich, it's raining and I couldn't be happier

Grandma's Hash Browns

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2010

This is the recipe you've been looking for! No need to change a thing but you can. I cooked in a little bacon grease and added diced onion that burned a little so I'll have to work on that part. It is the cook then cool over night that makes the difference

Pumpkin Pie Bars by EAGLE BRAND®

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2010

Very Tasty~Reading the reviews makes me wonder if the recipe was followed by the bad reviewers. I followed the recipe exactly....Crust was NOT soggy, crust was NOT too sweet, the 1/4 of topping was NOT too much, the filling was NOT too sweet. This dish was nearly perfect. I DO NOT care for super sweet treats--this was not too sweet, again it was very good. I used straight up pumpkin from a can not pumpkin pie filling. I DID spray with non-stick spray as suggested. They came out of the glass dish-cooked at 350 degrees-just fine
