Oven-Fried Catfish

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2011

I loved the preparation for this fish, but did find it lacking in flavor. I even added cayenne to the seasonsing, but it wasn't enough. I plan to try cajun seasoning next time. What I liked was that it did crisp up in the oven and the breading never falls off. Will definitely make again, but just need to get the season right.

Sweet and Spicy Stir Fry with Chicken and Broccoli

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2011

Very picky husband devoured this dish and even ate leftovers the next day (rarely happens). I tripled the sauce ingredients with the exception of the red pepper which I only doubled. I also added bell pepper for color and flavor. Be careful not to overcook the broccoli. The veggies should be firm. Served over 1/2 cup of brown rice. Will definitely make again.

Was pretty good, but left me looking for the ricotta cheese! Probably won't make again, but will make ziti instead.

DELISH!! I follwed the directions fairly closely except I added 1 TBS of rosemary to meat mixture, used only 1 TBS of brown sugar instead of 2 in the paste. Then cooked in 6 cupcake tins for 40 mins.

Sweet and Savory Kale

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2011

Delicious! I did not add any sugar or cranberries because I am following an clean eating diet plan. Guess what?? It had a sweet flavor without them! Maybe from the spicy brown or the apple cider?? Either way, this is going into my veggie rotation. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious! I did not add any sugar or cranberries because I am following an clean eating diet plan. Guess what?? It had a sweet flavor without them! I also used spicy brown mustard instead of Dijon. Maybe it was that or the apple cider that sweetened it?? Either way, this is going into my veggie rotation. Thanks for sharing!

Honey Baked Chicken II

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2011

Really delicous dish. Small change I made was to cook the chicken covered with aluminum foil for the first 45 minutes then uncovered for the rest. It was a big hit for dinner with the whole family.

Baked Salmon Fillets Dijon

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2011

This is so simple and so awesome. I used whole seed dijon mustard from Trader Joe's (added a little extra crunch) and used mustard panko crumbs from Whole Foods seafood department (even more crunch). Will make this many more times.

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2011

The seasonings were dead on in this recipe. I went with items I had on hand..8 boneless skinless chix thighs, Trader Joe's Fire Roasted Corn and Fire Roasted Diced Tomates with Chipotle Peppers. I also subbed the beer with chix broth. Be sure to use the taco seasoning the author included in HER review. I did not use nachos but served with home made cornbread. So delicous. Will try making with ground turkey and turkey sausage for an alternative.

Moroccan Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2011

This was really good. I cooked the onions and garlic on top of the stove before throwing everything in to my slow cooker for 2 hours on high + 8 hours on low. I rounded all of my spoon measurements for alittle extra kick. At the last hour I poured half into my blender and returned it to the slow cooker to cook for the remainder of the time. When serving, I add 1-2 tbsp of raisins for a nice sweet taste.

Broiled Tilapia with Parmesan and Herbs

Reviewed: Jan. 18, 2011

I used Trader Joe's reduced fat mayo, low fat sour cream and light butter. This came out delicious. Could have even eaten it without the butter.

Spicy Fish Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2011

This was much better the more days in the fridge where the fish/shrimp could soak up the seasoning. It made for a nice light soup.

Garlic Cheddar Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2011

This was enjoyed by all in my house (hubby, 8YO & 4YO) which says a lot. I used 1/4 butter and 1/4 c of OVO. Also used Italian seasoned bread crumbs. Really tasty.
