Creamy Carrot Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2011

Although good, this was not really what I was expecting. I was hoping it would be a bit more sweet-savory. I found it bland. Added a bit of salt, garlic powder (which i hate to use - much perfer fresh garlic) and a dash of hot sauce and worchestire sauce. Turned out fine, but I like to make a meal of soup and bread sometimes and this doesn't satisfy in that way. You definately need something to go w/it. I think I'd saute minced garlic w/the onions and add a few more savory ingrediants if I made it again. But, good and wonderfully nutritious w/a few calorie conscious, organic modifications... olive oil and a pat of butter, sweet potato, 1C half & half & 1 C whole milk :)

Pear Walnut Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2011

I enjoyed this, though as written it turned out pretty bland. I ended up just about doubling the soy sauce and using diced garlic, and that almost did the trick. It brought out the flavor of the pears more. It was still missing something in the end, though. I'd definately try it again w/a bit of tweeking. It's healthy enough and a good place to start :)

Mushroom Blue Cheese Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2010

Hubby LOVED these! They were really tasty. Added minced garlic and doubled blue cheese. Used Gorgonzola. Added it in w/the meat :) Fried in a pan w/butter. Ended up making about 10 medium-sized patties. Most of which I froze. Just as tasty taken out of freezer and cooked on grill.

Snoogy Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009

DH loved this :) My only addition was minced garlic. Served over jasmine rice w/green beans and garlic bread. I was surprised by how strong the chili flavor was.... was expecting a more savory and tangy tomato flavor. Sauce was a bit watery. Not terrible, but probably won't make again.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2009

Absolutely perfect amount of heat! I used 3 poached, shredded chicken breasts, freshly grated cheddar cheese, Franks Buffalo Wings Sauce and blue cheese. It makes a large batch. So good!

Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs

Reviewed: May 12, 2009

I really enjoyed this recipe :) I added more cheese (freshly grated & ground in food processor), minced fresh chives, a few teaspoons of horseradish (it was bland without it) and a few teaspoons of sour cream (to make filling more creamy). Whipped up beautifully in the mixer. Best served to foodies. People who insist that their mom's deviled eggs are THE BEST IN THE WORLD will likely not be won over by these.... at least that was my experience. LOL.

To Die For Garlic Feta Pate

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2009

I've been meaning to try this recipe for awhile now. Finally got the opportunity this weekend when we had some friends over. I made it exactly as written and really enjoyed it. I must admit, however, that it did taste a bit fishy... which I personally liked. DH didn't much care for it, though. I'll definately make again and half the achovies, but only if he's going to be partaking :) Great recipe. Thanks :)

Jalapeno Popper Spread

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2009

Definately tasted like a Jalapeno Popper! I used freshly grated parm - 1/2 in mix & 1/2 on top. Topped w/combination of parm, panko and olive oil. Only thing - the store was out of canned jalapeno so I had to use fresh. I used 2 1/2 and scraped the seeds for fear it'd be too spicy. Could've safely doubled it. You could taste the jalapeno but there was no real kick. Everyone loved it though :) Great recipe. Thanks!

Tomato Gorgonzola Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2008

Great flavor! Used half & half, skim milk and reduced fat cream cheese. A tad bit too spicy so may reduce pepper just a little next time. DH loved! Made oven baked "grilled" cheese from this site. Used potato bread, Yarlsburg cheese & olive oil to coat the bread. Perfectly crispy. Worked well w/this delicious soup!

Easy Corn Chowder I

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2008

this turned out really well :) i did have to substitute a bit, which i rarely do. started w/maple bacon and browned it w/onion. only had 1 can cream of mushroom soup - no creamed corn :( so, i added mushroom soup and can of regular corn w/a little half and half and extra milk. used skim milk and it turned out great. also added a bit of chicken broth and minced garlic. didn't have potatoes - of course - so i cooked egg noodles in the soup. pasta starch helped to thicken the soup. lastly added shredded poached chicken thighs at the end... and a pinch or two of sugar :) i never make this many modifications, but it was raining, i wanted soup and didn't feel like going to the store... very lazy. in any event, it just goes to show how versitile this recipe is :) DH looooved the flavor. Will make again!

Hearty Tuna Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

Sorry to say, but we did not enjoy this. Per another review, I used lemon pepper tuna. It did add flavor. I also added chopped garlic. Good addition. I think the problem was the thyme. Too much. It may, however, have worked w/plain tuna. Who knows. DH said it had a funny taste and I had to agree. May try it again w/plain tuna and less thyme or lemon pepper tuna w/no thyme.

Lemony Cucumbers

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2008

This was really good :) We have a ton of cucumbers from the garden and there aren't too many great recipes for them. This is one of them! Per other reviews, I halved the celery seed but didn't change anything else. Good one!

Gnocchi with Sage-Butter Sauce

Yummy :) I used fresh sage and, so, had to guess at the quantities a little but it turned out great. I added sauteed zucchini at the end and served it as the main course. Very good. Very easy :)

Crispy Oven-Roasted Rosemary Chicken with Sausage and Potatoes

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2008

I enjoyed this dish. Very tasty. The chicken was excellent! It did, however, turn out just a little too salty and greasy. That's an easy fix next time, though :) Good recipe!

Baked BBQ Fried Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2008

My husband looooooved this recipe. He's never complimented any dish as much as this one... and i've made some fabulous food :/ This is definately guy food. I halved the flour and more than halved the salt & pepper. The mesquite seasoning definately made a difference, but I halved that as well. The outcome will depend a lot on the BBQ sauce you use. I used Sweet Baby Ray's and added brown sugar to it. I also blotted the grease from the chicken and brushed the sauce on.... all per other reviews! I enjoyed this and, per my husband's instructions, will definately be making it again.
