Italian Chicken and Chickpeas

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009

This was a very good recipe. I cut it in half as I only wanted to make 2 chicken breasts. I also cut down the cayenne pepper in half because I am a wimp when it comes to spicy. I kept the amount of tomato sauce and garbanzo beans the same though. The sauce kind of reminded me of pizza sauce. Very good flavor. Thanks for sharing!

Slow Cooker Latin Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009

This was a really good recipe. I am actually making it for the 2nd time right now. I used chicken breasts instead of thighs. I also added some chopped onion because onion is good with every dish. I used mild salsa and added a little bit of red pepper flakes to kick it up a little. I love all the flavors of this. I am also a huge sweet potato fan.

Lentil Loaf

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2008

I thought this was very good. I did add a cup of oatmeal and two eggs to the mixture based on other reviews because I was afraid that it would not hold together enough. I also added onion and garlic. It was done a little before the 40 minutes and I did not add the breadcrumbs on top. I think the onion soup mix I added really gave it a good flavor. I will make this again.

Slow Cooker Split Pea Sausage Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

Very good soup! I only added 9 cups of water instead of ten and used vegetable bouillon. I also added 2 cloves of fresh garlic instead of powder. I used turkey kilbasa instead of sausage. I took out the kilbasa before putting the soup in my blender to puree. Couldn't get enough of this soup.

Moore's Cranberry Gelatin Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2007

This was so good! Everyone loved it. I used pineapple juice for the water, sugar free jello, splenda, and I also added celery, walnuts, and pomegrante. I will have to make this every year at Thanksgiving.

Red Cabbage

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2007

This was really good. I took advice from other reviews and added apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar and used half the amount called for. I also used splenda brown sugar blend. I used one gala apple and one granny smith apple. It was very tasty.

Chocolate Zucchini Cake III

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2007

Everybody loved this cake. They all asked me to make them another one! I made some changes by using half wheat flour and half white flour. I used half applesauce and half olive oil and I used half splenda and half sugar. I also used 3/4 cup chocolate chips and omitted the walnuts. When the cake came out of the oven I melted some leftover chocolate chips on the top and used that for the frosting. Yum! I ate one piece and had to give the rest away other wise I would not be able to control myself. He, He!

Hummus Pizza

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2007

Great pizza. I did use a Boboli crust and roasted red pepper hummus. Very awesome. I added green pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes, onion, broccoli, and spinach. I plan on making it again this weekend with a pre made whole wheat crust.

Raisin Soy Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2006

This bread was amazing! It tasted just like the raisin bread you buy at the store with the red package. Yummy! I did cut it down to 11 servings as I only have a 1 and 1/2 pound bread maker. I doubled the amount of cinnamon and I used sugar instead of honey. I also used olive oil instead of butter because I don't like using butter for anything if I don't have to. My bread did not rise but it did not effect the taste. That was my fault though. I used cold soy milk instead of at room temperature or warm. I don't know what I was thinking. I am going to make it again this weekend I think because my sister was on vacation when I made it and she just has to try it. My family also raved about it. Thanks for the great recipe!

Garlic Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2006

Good bread! I took the advice of another reviewer and cut the servings down to 11 for my 1 1/2 pound bread machine. I used three cloves of garlic and I did cut the pepper down a little bit and I'm glad I did because it was peppery but in a good way. I did add some cajun seasoning so maybe that was it. I also used brown sugar because that is all I had but I don't think the type of sugar really matters anyway. I didn't use the chives as I didn't have any and I added a dash of rosemary. Good with real butter.

Glo's Sausage Fried Rice

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2006

Good fried rice. I changed it though to make it healthier. I used fat free soy sausage (I don't eat meat), I used brown rice instead of white, and I used egg beaters instead of eggs. I used a frozen peas and carrots blend also.Very good. Loved the taste of the "sausage" in there. It made a huge amount too.

Chocolate Chip Orange Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2006

I thought this was very good. I cut the recipe in half to make one loaf. The orange flavor was interesting. Not bad, just interesting. I used half Splenda half sugar. I used yogurt for the oil, used half whole wheat flour and half white flour. I also added some ground flax seed. I did grate some green apple with the zucchini but you can't even tell that it's there. This may sound strange but I put peanut butter on top when the bread was still warm and it was very good. I would make this again.

Rhubarb Cherry Crisp

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2006

Holy Cow! This was awesome. I made this almost two weeks ago and I really want to make it again. I did make a few changes. I used fresh cherries (off a friend's cherry tree), and I used splenda instead of sugar. I used more splenda than the recipe called for but I think thats because I didn't use cherry pie filling. I also only used 3 cups of rhubarb because I thought 4 would be too much. I also used whole wheat flour instead of white flour and added some flaxseed to make it a little healthier. I tried this without ice cream and I thought it was amazing and then tried it with ice cream and I thought that it can't get much better than this. Thanks for the great recipe.

Indian Chicken Curry II

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2006

This is my first time making anything with curry or Indian food. Instead of using coconut millk I used soy milk (thought I would cut down on the fat and calories) and instead of plain yogurt I used low fat coconut flavored yogurt. I did not add the cayenne pepper because it was plenty spicey without it I thought. I also thought it had too much of a cinnamon flavor but it didn't stop me from eating it:)It was also sweet but that might be from using the flavored yogurt. But I would make this again.

Barbecue Tofu Sandwiches

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2006

OMG! This was soo good! I crumbled the tofu, added onion, and cooked it in a little bit of olive oil. I used Sweet Baby Ray barbeque sauce. This tasted just like a sloppy joe sandwich. I made a single serving just for me but I'm glad I didn't make more because I could have eaten a lot more sandwiches. I made it for myself but next time I'm going to make it for some family and not tell them it's tofu when serving it to them. A great way to eat tofu!!

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2006

This was so good! I cut the recipe in half and used a frozen bag of mexican flavored corn, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and black beans. I did add a can of chili beans. I cut up the chicken breasts in chunks and just threw them in with the rest of the ingredients and cooked it in the crockpot all night. Very yummy!

Denise's Peanut Chicken

Good recipe. I omitted the peanuts and added frozen stir fry veggies. I've been looking for a stir fry sauce that had some flavor.

Tofu Quiche with Broccoli

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2006

This was so good! WOW! I made it with frozen chopped spinach instead of broccoli and it was wonderful. I had to add a little more soy milk then called for because I couldn't get it all mixed in my blender. I didn't add the red pepper, just the nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Couldn't even tell there was tofu in it. Really yummy.

Tofu Parmigiana

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2006

This was so good! It was my first attempt at making tofu, and my second time eating it. I took advice of some people and froze the tofu for 1/2 hour and then fried it in the breadcrumbs. My breadcrumbs did not stick either and I used cold water before dipping them in the breadcrumbs. I poured the extra breadcrumbs on top of the tofu before baking and then used mozzerella cheese, and spaghetti sauce. My boyfriend had never ate tofu before and loved this. Very good. I will use this recipe again.
