Flatlander Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2008

Delicious chili and so comforting on a chilly night! Very easy to make too. I have made this chili many times using different canned tomato variations, and bell pepper and bean varieties and it has always turned out wonderful. It's easy to tweak to suit your taste. I like to use 2 bell peppers, 2 cans beans, and celery with the leaves. The longer you let it simmer the better, the flavors really get to meld together. Serve with some sharp cheddar and monterey jack, green onion, olives, and sliced avocado-warm cornbread too!

Pollo Fajitas

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2005

The ingredients for this recipe seem odd for fajitas, but the chicken is outstanding. I have used this recipe 3 times and the entire family loves it. I do not add the hot sauce, we don't have any, and I double the garlic, we love garlic. I am doing a low carb diet, so I top a salad with the chicken and use tomato salsa as the dressing. It is full of flavor and very yummy. Greate recipe!

Lower Fat Banana Bread I

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2005

Great banana bread. I substituted apple sauce for the margarine. It was so moist and so full of flavor. I couldn't believe it. You can add anything to this bread. Chocolate chips, coconut, dried fruit, grated zucchini, cinnamon/nutmeg, walnuts. The list can go on and on. This is my new banana bread recipe. Thanks.

Spicy Italian Pork Cutlets

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2005

Five stars for the sauce. I used turkey cutlets, doubled the garlic and tomato. I also added fresh lemon juice to the sauce. I think using fresh tomatoes really makes to sauce thicken instead of canned. This sauce is very versatile. My husband doesn't use salt so I spooned some of the sauce over steamed green beans and he loved it. Thanks for a great recipe!

Modenese Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2005

These chops didn't knock my socks off, but they were still pretty good. My family enjoyed them a lot. I used a thin chop and the meat was a bit tough. Next time I will use a thicker chop and experiment with different herbs. Good recipe for pork!

Split Pea Soup Atu

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2004

Very good. The soy sauce kinda threw us off when we were cooking, but it was a great addition. We used french lentils instead of split peas. And added celery and carrots. No need to blend if you like a chunkier soup/stew. It was delicious on a cold winter day.

Lighter Libby's® Famous Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2004

This is good if you are looking for a "light" pumpkin pie recipe. I love pumpkin pie and for one day a year (Thanksgiving), I would rather have full flavor!

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2004

Good sugar cookie recipe. I have to admit that there has never been a sugar cookie that has wowed me. I think the frosting makes the cookie taste best, but this one is good. They were also easy to roll out and cut into shapes.

Garlic and Herb Lamb

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2004

Very tasty lamb roast. I had a 4 lb. boneless roast and I had to cook it an hour longer than the recipe stated and I tripled the garlic, but still is an excellent recipe. I served the lamb with garlic mashed poatoes and mint sauce for the lamb. Thanks.

Balsamic Glazed Carrots

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2004

You really must boil the baby carrots until soft. Not soft like mashed, but a step above al dente. I enjoyed this side dish. It has a nice sweet tang to it. A very nice alternative to the usual butter and brown sugar carrots and easy to prepare. Thanks!

Sole In Butter Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2004

The sauce for this dish is excellent. I did not use breadcrumbs for the fish. I assumed that breadcrumbs would become soggy with the sauce, so I pan fried the fish until crispy. You could probably grill or broil the fish also. I cut the butter in half (1/2 cup), tripled the garlic, cut the broth in half, kept the wine, lemon, and everything else the same. Corn starch thickened it up nicely and lots of capers made this dish wonderful. Thanks.

Green Beans with Cherry Tomatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2004

I used frozen green beans and fresh garlic and this recipe was wonderful.I loved the tomato and basil flavors. If you use fresh garlic you will have to add some salt though. This is a recipe I will use often. Thanks!

Mushroom Risotto

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2004

I gave this recipe 3 stars since you really need to add so much more to make it taste good. I added white wine after sauteing the onions and veggies. Extra garlic and saffron was added too. Next time I make this recipe, I will skip the milk and cream. It make the rice too cream of mushroom soup tasting. It was hard to taste the other flavors. A decent recipe if you omit the milk and cream and stick to the wine and broth to make the rice creamy.

Roast Duck with Apple Dressing

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2004

My duck was 4.3 lbs. and barely had enough meat for 2 adults and 2 small kids. There were no leftovers which my husband usually takes to lunch for the next day. The apple stuffing was fantastic. I didn't peel the apples and the skins weren't even noticeable when the stuffing was cooked. I also added some poultry seasoning and celery leaves, chopped, to the stuffing before cooking. The leaves added more celery flavor and looks pretty too. I too had extra stuffing after stuffing the duck, so I put the extra in a baking dish and dotted with butter and baked for 30 min. at 350. Before I took the stuffing out of the oven, I left the stuffing on the middle rack of the oven and turned the broiler on to give the stuffing some crunchy bits. Careful not to burn. Great recipe. Thanks.
