Cheesy Eggplant Bake

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2008

I expected a fairly good, kind-of-standard eggplant dish, but this was delicious! A really nice main meal, though it would probably go pretty well with pasta. No changes at all.

Restaurant Style Egg Drop Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2007

Delightful, and way easy to make. The freshness of the eggs makes it even better than the local Chinese joint.

I drastically reduced the fat and calories by substituting fat-free sour cream, fat-free cream cheese, and reduced fat cheddar. Brought it to a party and NO ONE noticed the change, because all the other flavors made up for it. The dip was scarfed up, and I got requests for the recipe.

Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans

Reviewed: May 25, 2006

I overcooked it slightly, and it was still tasty. Even better cold the next day. Thumbs up.

Curried Chicken with Mango Rice

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2006

I cubed the chicken, but otherwise made this recipe as directed. It was ... okay (*shrug*). Edible, but nothing spectacular.

Chicken and Mushroom Saute

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2006

I've made this a couple of times, and it seems to come out better with chicken broth (instead of boullion), extra cornstarch, fresh mushrooms and no onions. Tasty and light.

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2006

Made this twice, just to make sure I was getting it right. It wasn't bad by any means, but nothing special either.

Slow Cooker Stuffing

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2006

Made this for a crowd of 12. Used six cups bakery-bought white bread, six cups bakery-bought whole wheat bread, and about 2/3 - 3/4 of the suggested chicken broth. Everybody liked the end result, and it was a lot lighter and tastier than boxed stuffing. Recommended!

Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2006

Absolutely, hands-down delicious. I didn't have sherry on hand, so subbed in a little red wine vinegar instead. Still very, very good.

Lacks flavor. Edible, but that's about it. Will not make again.

Baked Salmon II

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2006

Made this multiple times, for both myself and various family members. Very oily, but also crazy tasty. Mom and Dad loved it, and they know fish.

Fantastic Black Bean Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2006

Hearty and delicious! I followed other readers' suggestions by adding two teaspoons of cumin and a dash of cayenne pepper, as well as substituting an extra 1/2 lb. of ground turkey for a can of black beans. Such a good meal.

Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2006

This is very, very sweet - practically a candy bar. The sugar content overwhelms the taste of potato, making it a better dessert dish than dinner side. Will not make again.

Pasta with Asparagus

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2006

Tasty, fast, easy and great for dieting. I use about 1/2 of the suggested red pepper, and it's become a part of my recipe repertoire.

Caribbean Pasta with Shrimp

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2006

This dish takes awhile to make, but is ultimately delicious and highly recommended. My only change: I used one heaping tablespoon of Thai Kitchen's Roasted Red Pepper Chili Paste instead of two. The spice level was perfect; it had sufficient kick but didn't burn my face off.
