My husband is still raving about this three months later. It's delish!

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2011

Easy, but too sweet and the cooking time listed is way short. I prefer conventional PB cookies; they're worth the extra effort.

Yum! I halved the recipe and cooked it in a (pre-heated with a tad of olive oil) cast iron skillet. I split the all-purpose flour with half whole wheat and it was superb. Nice texture. (Not at all authentic for Southerners who don't eat sweet cornbread, but if you think of it as something else altogether, it's delicious.)

German Chocolate Cake Frosting II

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2010

I bumped the heat up to medium to get it to thicken, and probably stirred constantly for at least 20 minutes, but it was SO worth it. YUMMMMM.....

Baby Carrots With Curry Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2010

This was super easy, but a little too mayonnaisey for me. When I made batch #2, I swapped the amounts of sour cream (full fat) and mayo. More to my liking that way. But the 4 stars is for the recipe as written. I didn't put it on carrots; I stir fried tofu, onions and green pepper, and mixed it all up with rice and the sauce. Delicious.

Spanish Rice Original

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2010

YUM! I left out the bacon and didn't use olives or corn. We loved it. Served it to the toddler with shredded cheddar on top, and he was sold. Good stuff!

Sonoran Tilapia

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2010

I loved this dish, as did hubby. I left out the red pepper and half the cayenne to cut down on the spice, and I left out the wine since I didn't have any and don't like it anyway. I used lemon instead of lime and dried cilantro rather than fresh because that's what I had. Definitely worthy of making again! I served it with "Spanish Rice Original" from this site, which was also a winner. Yum!

Baked Ziti I

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2010

I only had red onion, which worked great, and only had sliced Havarti (instead of provolone), which was also creamy and flavorful. We LOVED the dish!

I used butter, and it was delightful. Making another one tonight to go with the squash pie recipe from this site. A winning combo!

Rave reviews; even better than pumpkin, my husband claims. Ate it in about two days and need to make another one tonight!

Mimi's Zucchini Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2010

We liked this a LOT. It was breadier than I thought it would be (I was expecting more of a quiche), but it doesn't claim to be a quiche, so I can't knock it for that. I used a very sweet red onion and also sprinkled some cheddar on top with the parm. I had seconds, and we topped it with sour cream and sided it with a sweet salad. Excellent meal!

The Really Good Salad Recipe with Pieces of Fruit

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2010

Yummy. Could do with less sugar in the dressing since all our fruit and the candied nuts were plenty sweet. Other than that, I loved it.

Baked Spaghetti Squash with Beef and Veggies

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2010

Delish. Didn't have red bells, so used extra green ones. Didn't have Italian tomatoes, so I just added extra herbs. Used fresh oregano and basil from the garden. Didn't have enough cheddar, so had to use the blends I had; it would've been better with all sharp cheddar. Even so, it was delightful. Subbing ground turkey or veggie-meat and using lower fat cheese would be good, too.

Peach-a-Berry Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2010

So yummy! Made it exactly as written. Worked great because I had super sweet white peaches that were hard like apples, so it held together nicely without getting squishy.

Acorn Squash

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2010

Very yummy. Even the 2-year-old ate it. I did the microwave for 5 minutes first, then about 30 minutes in a 400 degree oven.

Yia Yia's Tzatziki Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2010

Yum! Next time I'll probably do more yogurt and less sour cream, but even so, this was divine stuff. We used it with the feta turkey burgers stuffed into pita pockets with lettuce and tomato. My 2-year-old used it as a dip for his grape tomatoes. We were all impressed.

Feta Cheese Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2010

The flavor of these is lovely. I followed the recipe, except using fresh oregano from the garden rather than dried. My burgers fell apart some, but not enough to really matter. We stuffed them into pita pockets, topped with "Yia Yia's Tzatziki Sauce", lettuce and tomato. Delish. Definitely a keeper.

Health Nut Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2010

Yum! Didn't have oat bran, so I doubled the wheat germ. Added about half a cup of extra blueberries and left out the walnuts (personal preference). Otherwise, stuck to the recipe. Everyone loves them!
