Indian Fish Curry

Reviewed: May 7, 2013

SO amazingly flavorful! I paired it with cauliflower cilantro & lemon "rice" and it was just a beautiful dish. I do paleo so I substituted agave for sugar and it was just amazing. I also don't use canola oil so I just used coconut oil and olive oil. I tossed in veggies (carrots, radishes & broccoli) while the fish cooked and everything melted together! I also just used one tsp of cayenne and it was perfect. Easy to adapt & eat. Love how low cal,carb & sugar it is but high in protein! (I'm working on the salt part).. Thanks for a wonderful recipe

Chicken Catch a Cola

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2013

This was so different tasting and easy to make. I added about a TBS of olive oil in addition to the butter and sliced the ham in strips. Next time I'll use either diced or chunky diced ham that you can buy packaged in the supermarket because the strips sort of disappeared into the sauce and the ham is such a nice touch. I love mushrooms so added more from the packaged already sliced mushrooms. One other thing I did was to add the leftover bread crumb mixture (from the bag I breaded the chicken in) to the sauce when I added the ham, etc. that ultimately required that I add the rest of the can of cola as well. This was made in my long, oval electric frying pan. This recipe will definitely be in my "chicken" rotation. Had the leftovers for lunch the next day. Even more delicious on day two. Great recipe Benjamin. Thanks

Loved this recipe. Was a little soupy, so I added some bread crumbs on top and broiled it. Next time I am sauteing the onions first. They were too raw-tasting for me. But I definitely will make this again.

Cinnamon Swirl Bread for the Bread Machine

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2013

I feel bad for low-rating this recipe, because I did change it...I doubled the filling as others suggested, and used 1tsp of bread machine yeast as that was the conversion for instant yeast vs. active dry yeast. I'm not sure where I went wrong, but my dough didn't rise and I basically ended up with 2 cinnamon roll logs. They didn't taste terrible, but it would've been nice if they had some more air in them.

Chef John's Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2013

Excellent. I followed the recipe exactly and the soup had a really delicious flavor with just a hint of creaminess. I am not a big fan of creamed soups so, this was a winner for me. I used a one pound ham steak and there was plenty of meat to go around. I think the cayenne pepper is pretty key in this soup, I wouldn't leave it out.

Chili I

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2013

I read all the reviews saying this recipe was too sweet so I reduced brown sugar to 1/4 cup. What a mistake! I could not even taste the sweetness so next time I will use the 1/2 cup measurement. I also do not like it hot so I added only 1 poblano pepper but I will try 2 next time. I did use all the chilli and cayenne and liked it....

Simple Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2013

I thought this was great! I am only giving it five stars because I felt it was a bit too much water. My chili never really thickened as much as I'd like it to. It was a bit too watery, but overall the flavor was great. I used black beans and omitted a couple spices, simply because I didn't have them. I would definitely make this again. It was quick and hit the spot! Even my 6 year old liked it and he doesn't often try new things.

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2013

What a yummy recipe! I tried it as is first, and it was great. Out of a need to eat healthier, I did alter it the 2nd time. I used 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce, and 1/2 cup of sunflower oil to replace the 1 cup of vegetable oil. 3/4 cup egg beaters in place of the eggs, and I also used 1/2 cup of Agave nectar in place of the sugar. This is the perfect blueprint for Zucchini bread. Thanks for sharing!

Sausage Pasta

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2013

This recipe was excellent.It didn't say not to drain the sausage so, I didn't and I think that was a good idea, the sauce had a nice richness of flavor. I think letting all the ingredients simmer for at least 15 to 20 minutes is a good idea also, let the flavors come together. I did not use the full 14.5 ounces of broth as I felt it was too much liquid. I left a few ounces out. Also, I ended up using a tablespoon of corn starch as the sauce was just too thin for my taste. My sweetie and I ate most of it in one sitting. Simply delicious.

*Disclaimer: I used my own sauce (honey mustard dressing and teriyaki) so my review is based solely on the method of cooking the wings. They were fantastic! Crispy and delicious and JUST like a local place here where they have the best wings. These tasted just as good and they were so easy to make! I will always make my wings like this from now on. Thank you!

Ok I made them with the oil and honestly I didn't love the flavor., it was as though I could taste the oil. I'd like to re-do them with butter instead to see if it helps. The texture was exactly what I wanted though, so that was a plus.

Ten Minute Enchilada Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2013

Have to give this 5 stars, I was a little skeptical if it would be any good but, surprise it was perfect and quick to boot. I used it to make beef and bean burritos and it was perfect without all the extra chemicals from a canned enchilada sauce. I did cut the water down to one cup and I added half a cube of beef boullion. After adding the cup of water, it looked like the perfect consistency, I know enchilada sauce is pretty thin. thanks, for a helpful recipe.
