Grilled Asparagus with Cilantro Lemon Butter

Reviewed: May 24, 2012

At first I thought the sauce would be tart, not so. It was very mild, a bit reminiscient of a ranch dressing but a pop of zestiness from the cilantro. The sauce MAKES the asparagus!

Healthier Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: May 19, 2012

Had the recipe not said "healthier" I doubt I could've detected the difference! Moist, and a tender crumb bursting w/ banana flavour!

Cottage Pudding (Cake for Strawberry Shortcake)

Reviewed: May 14, 2012

This is a KEEPER! The only swap I made was to use butter in place of the shortening. This was perfectly moist w/ the right amount of sweetness. I could see this being a great base to morph other recipes off of.

Crunchy Coconut and Lime Burgers

Reviewed: May 14, 2012

OMG these were insanely delicious!!! Thoughts: I didn't use the egg - didn't see the reason for it. Left out the salt you don't need it w/ the soy sauce being present. Drop the mayo to 1/2 cup MAX. I had 4 guys try these burgers tonight and got a soaring rate of approval, even from a guy who said he didn't really like coconut. Other comments were given how flavourful they were. This is a tried and true burger for me!

Lemony Lemon Drop Martini

Reviewed: May 10, 2012

I cut the lemon to 1 1/2 and it was PERFECT for me! Even w/ this small change it made me want to pucker up - not overwhelming in tartness but still packed the pucker power!

Catholic Blended Margaritas

Reviewed: May 6, 2012

Scaled this to one serving and the confectioner sugar really makes the flavours pop! Bold, daring and oh so refreshing w/ that subtle vanilla hint!

Poblano Chile Enchiladas a la Gringa

Reviewed: May 5, 2012

I've made this twice (in less than a week) and I love the simplicity and the flavour that this enchilada has. What I'm not liking is that the sauce is too thin for my liking. The first time I made it I used my vitamix blender to blend up the broth, peppers, and sour cream - This resulted in a liquidy sauce. Second time I left the sour cream out and then mixed it into the broth & pureed peppers...still liquidy not as bad. I think next time (and there WILL be a next time) I'll try a simple roux technique to thicken up the sauce but WOW this is GOOD!!!!

Taco Rice

Reviewed: May 5, 2012

If you've rated this recipe lower than a 5 I'm going to guess it's b/c you changed the recipe. If this is the case I suggest you re-make the recipe and actually follow it and THEN rate it. I made it as suggested and I find it to be amazing, delicious and I will make it again! It went perfectly w/ the Poblano Chile Enchiladas from Allrecipes!

Byron's Delicious Strawberry Cake

Reviewed: May 4, 2012

I made this cake the other night - I'm torn between the rating to give, and may remake this cake and adjust the rating based on the second outcome. First up - the only company I'm aware of to make strawberry extract is Watkins - which fortunately I had a brand new bottle and thus why I made this recipe. I scaled the recipe back to make 8 servings and used regular cake tins. I found this cake to be dense and quite heavy which surprised me as the batter was remarkable light/airy and reminded me of a boxed cake mix. I couldn't detect a noticeable strawberry taste either. The cake took on a somewhat muted pink tone that wasn't so detectable after it had been baked, frosted and cut. The recipe didn't suggest the cake be frosted but I used an all butter buttercream frosting and used a dark chocolate drizzle w/ fresh strawberries on top.

Yummy Banana Fizzy

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2012

Wow...you can't tell that this drink has any alcohol in it. Be very careful when drinking this, you'll keep on drinking it and end up buzzed!

Electric Strawberry

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2012

This was an interesting change of pace but not sure I would make it again. It didn't really taste like strawberry anything.

Rum Swizzles

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2012

Unlike a prior review, I actually made this recipe. This drink is extremely fruity, and for me it had a kick! I can't say it was entirely potent, but it won't sneak up on you - it will come at you full force like the strength of a hurricane!

Hazelnut Crusted Halibut with Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2012

I made some slight changes both in preparation and in the ingredients. I don't normally like using seasoned bread crumbs only b/c they're rarely seasoned to suit my taste. I switched in some panko bread crumbs (same quantity) and added in 1/2 tsp italian seasoning, and 1/2 tsp garlic salt. My fillets were rather large and they wouldn't fit in my saute pan so I lightly greased a casserole dish, and then brushed each fillet w/ unsalted butter. I sprinkled the seasoned breadcrumbs on top and baked it for the same time frame w/ the nut side facing up. Since I added garlic salt to the breading I chose not to add garlic to the mashed potatoes. This was a belly busting meal but OH my it was good!!!!

Deconstructed Chicken Kiev

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2012

I strayed ever so slightly but I think my changes were on target w/ the goal of the recipe. While the recipe initially called for some white bread to be pulsed in a food processor I figured there was no need to use white bread, and I substituted a mixture of panko bread crumbs and Italian seasoned bread crumbs using a 2:1 ratio. This caused it to develop a crusty buttery effect - it was delicious! I also elected to use spinach instead of the arugula.

Grilled Mediterranean Greek Pizza with Sundried Tomato Chicken Sausage

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2012

Very simple to make. I think this pizza could stand to have a bit of roasted garlic on it as well.

Zucchini Corn Medley

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2012

Even tho it lacks visual appeal, it is very tasty! I also chose to add in some squash! I thought that mozzarella cheese would be better so I swapped out the cheddar cheese.
