Coconut Curry Fish

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2012

Nice mix of flavors... VERY quick and easy, and plenty of room for adaptation-- Even for fish/spice phobics!! Great consistency without the added cornstarch for thickening. Served over rice-- Yum!!

Lots of potential. I thought I'd beat the odds and NOT need to pre-cook the potatoes if I sliced them thin enough, but even after 45min. in the oven, they were not quite fully cooked. Tons of potential here, it's a great tasting, hardy veggie dish. Added extra spices (onion powder, italian spices...) and some parm/romano cheese to the mix added great flavor.

Beef Stew VI

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2012

I cut this in half, replaced 1 cup of water with 1 cup of red wine. Added a bay leaf, coated the beef in flour with a dash of salt and pepper before browning. Used parsnips instead of potatoes, added frozen peas at the end of the cooking around 30 minutes of cooking to go. Added garlic. with these changes this recipe came out great, I just think you need wine in beef stew, maybe it's because I lived in France for a year! :-)

Very Simple Spelt Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2012

Added 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of lecithin, used vanilla Almond Milk, 1/2 cup flax seeds. I blended the, molasses, honey, lecithin in a small amount of milk in my Blendtec blender, so it was really blended well before I added it to the spelt flour. I used 5 cups of spelt flour and 3 cups of sprouted spelt flour. SO EASY and DELICIOUS, A+ to the author!

I don't eat meat, so I have no instinct for cooking it. I made these for my family and they loved it. Really simple.

Foolproof and deeeeeelicious. Plan ahead - you'll need to use at least 6-8 bananas. I added some vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon. My kids loved it. Will definitely make again

Guilt-Free Apple Cobbler

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2012

So easy!! This lighter, sweet/tangy treat feels like cheating... Feels like I spent way more time preparing it AND that I'm breaking my diet eating it!! Didn't have soy milk, but skim worked fine, and wish I checked how many apples I had (only 3 large) before I started, but all in all, a GREAT pre-holiday treat!! Mmmmm!!

My family *loves* this recipe as a special (yes, very high-fat) meal. I can't find tandoori masala. I just mix some curry powder and cayenne.

Southern Apple Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2012

Great flavor, and love the added touch of the apples!! Added shredded carrot for extra color/flavor/texture. I was out of onion, so added onion powder/flakes, which I prefer any way for a smoother tuna salad!! Went well atop my salad for lunch @ work!!

Garlic Curry Burgers

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2012

I also upped the curry a bit and cut the onion and garlic in half. I made sliders and they were sooo good on little onion rolls with a dollop of mango chutney to bring out the flavor! Certainly more interesting than a plain burger!! Yum!!

Spinach, Sausage and Cheese Bake

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2012

I used low fat chicken sausage, leftover spaghetti sauce from an earlier meal, non-fat cottage cheese and just one package of spinach. I think the texture would have been better with ricotta cheese. Good on its own, leftovers even better over pasta!

Easy Zucchini Bake with Cheese

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2012

I made this the other night with some of my suuuper huge zucchini, with mostly successful results. I think I cut the slices too thick, so they were a bit "al dente," which was fine with me but not universally "well received..." I decided to go more pseudo-Italian style vs. Mexican, so I spiced up the turkey with plenty of garlic, chopped onion and Italian seasoning, left out the corn, and sprinkled a part-skim mozzarella blend on top, rather than the Mx. cheese blend. Quick, easy, and with some quick fixes, a healthy hit!!

Indian Style Chicken with Apples

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2012

I liked it, and will definitely give it a second chance, since I think I goofed it up by using a suuuper salty chicken boullion (didn't have chicken broth) and too much curry powder (didn't have curry paste). This recipe has TONS of potential-- Loved the curry/cinnamon/apple mix. Non fat Greek yogurt added a perfect consistency without the fat. Plan on making it again soon and KNOW it'll be at/near a five star meal!!
