Black Bean and Salsa Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2011

This is my go-to black bean soup now. Thank you! I make my black beans from dried in 1 hour in a pressure cooker with some onion and garlic. I use Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor instead of veggie broth. I've experimented with different kinds of salsa and I like Costco salsa the best in it. Sometimes I throw in a can of Embasa salsa verde if I want a little more heat.

Hurry-Up Ham Carbonara

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2011

Using smoked ham will give more of a bacon-y flavor. Fresh ham would be more bland, I think. I also added a few cloves of garlic and some ground black pepper. Very quick and delicious.

Maple Salmon

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2010

This is so easy and tasty! One suggestion is to use a garlic press or mince your garlic teeny tiny because the baking time is too short to really cook the garlic through.

Turkey Picadillo II

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2010

Very tasty. The ingredients reminded me of Chicken Marbella which I love. I substituted chopped prunes for raisins, otherwise I prepared it exactly as written and served it with brown rice. My picky toddlers ate it.

Brown Rice Black Bean Burrito

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2010

I used Trader Joe's brown rice from the freezer section. It is already cooked so only takes 3 minutes in the microwave from frozen. I added a little salsa to the rice bean mixture for some moisture. This is a quick and tasty meal. Great for kids.

Glazed Meatloaf II

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2010

I've never made a meatloaf with lemon juice before. This was delicious and I will continue to use this recipe from now on. I made the glaze exactly as written and it was perfect. Since onion soup mix is basically beef bouillon and dried onion, I used half a packet instead of the diced onion and bouillon to save time. I used 3/4 cup old fashioned oats instead of bread. I put bread heels under the loaf to absorb the extra fat. I added a pinch of thyme since I enjoy that flavor with this kind of beef recipe. I like that this recipe only needs one egg instead of two and is not overly salty like the recipes that use a whole packet of soup mix with less meat. Thank you!

Chile Relleno Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009

Thank you much for this recipe! I needed something with simple ingredients that I had on-hand. I actually used this with leftover chicken instead of beef. I wanted to be quick so I added 1 cup of salsa on top of the meat instead of onion. I used Chedder/Jack combo cheese. In addition to salt and pepper, I added 1 tsp. of sugar and 1/2 tsp. of cumin to the flour/egg mixture. I used diced green chiles and only used one 4 oz. can. I didn't want to use 2 in case I didn't like the recipe since I made so many changes. Well, it came out super tasty and I will make it again. There was a lot of juice from the salsa so I served with a slotted spoon.

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

I agree with the 5 stars. This is an excellent, sweet, moist pumpkin bread. I used 2 cups of my own pumpkin puree and followed the recipe exactly.

Wild Rice Turkey Dish

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009

This is a good, simple casserole that would be a great way to use turkey leftovers. If you don't have/like canned soup, make your own white sauce or use some leftover gravy. I used bread heels and tossed them with a half tsp. of poultry seasoning. I had leftover basmati rice from Trader Joes that I had cooked in broth. I cooked the wild rice separately and mixed them together. I used leftover chicken thighs this time, but will try with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving.

Easy Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2009

I made my own "cream of chicken" soup. and topped the whole shabang with some leftover mango salsa. I might have used less cheese-didn't really measure. Mild enough for the kids. My husband and I added diced jalapenos to ours once on the plate. Yum!

Delicious! Perfect proportions (with author's correction) I used flax seed meal instead of oat bran. Slivered almonds are great in it. Thanks.

Penne with Chicken and Pesto

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

Great easy recipe. Exactly the taste I was looking for. I used the author's suggestion of half chicken stock, half cream. I thickened it with a bit of flour. My toddler LOVED it and my husband had seconds.

Jacky's Fruit and Yogurt Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

This recipe inspired creativity and I made them 100% organic whole grain. These are going to be a breakfast staple at our house! I used 1c ww pasty flour, 1c old fashioned oats. You can use any flavor yogurt with any kind of dried or fresh fruit. I used a 6 oz. yogurt and so I added a few tbl. milk. I used canola oid instead of butter for lower cholesterol. I halved the sugar (i used brown) and it was still too sweet for me maybe because of the kind of yogurt I used or because I put in date crumbles which are very sweet? Next time I will only use 1/4 cup of sugar. My toddler LOVED these.

No Bake Cookies I

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2007

I've made these several times and they are so delicious. I've never had a problem with the recipe. Just have the oats, peanut butter & vanilla ready to go so you don't have to take the time to measure. Then, make the cookies right away.
