Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2012

To spice it up a bit, I used a mix of 1 1/2 Tbs of chipotle chili pepper and 1 1/2 Tbs of med hot chili power which gave it a nice mild smoky flavor. A keeper.

Russian Tea Cakes I

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2012

melt in your mouth. The cookies don't golden up like you would expect but they are nicely baked at 12 mins. I rotate my cookie pans top to bottom, front to back. Excellent and easy.

I made this for book club last eve and they loved it!!! I used veggie crumbles (tofu hamburger), vegetable broth, skipped the tomatoes. I used 1.5 lbs of potatoes and 2 Tbs butter. Baked 350 for 30 mins to heat through, put the shredded cheese on top and broiled for a few mins. The curry was a nice addition..not to strong but slightly more than a hint. Excellent!!!

Cooking Light magazine's Indian Chicken Curry

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2012

I've made this numerous times with great success. It's got a kick (I use hot chili powder and hot curry)I used only 3 cups water as 4 made it too watery for my liking. A sprinkling of golden raisins on top gives it a nice sweet/spicy taste. I also have made the spice mix packets for gifts and attach the recipe(great for those who love good food but don't have the ingredients or desire).

Cheese Fondue

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2011

Impressive and easy. I didn't have any sterno for my fondue pot so I used a double boiler. I rubbed the pot with garlic, added the wine (Bogle chardonnay) then the grated cheese tossed with the flour...slow and steady. I also added the recommended lemon juice, about a tablespoon. No clumps, nice and smooth. Served at the table in the double boiler to keep the cheese fluid. Next time I might try adding another 1/4 cup wine to thin it out just a bit. This is the recipe to use if you have never made fondue before. Do make sure you use good quality cheese. I used Swiss Emmentaler and Gruyere.

Spinach Beef Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2011

Nice and quick. I didn't have 5 spice powder but found a recipe and made my own. Substituted the veggies with what I had on hand, very versatile. Would like a bit more sauce for the rice.
