Pumpkin Seeds

Posted by Tish  

Five stars, Tish, for this simple but perfect way to prepare those squash seeds I had been throwing out. These took about 45 minutes in my 300* oven to toast to a crunchy perfection. I used a white cheddar popcorn flavoring for the seasoning,... — MNLisaB Nov 7, 2009

After reading so much about the health benefits, I wanted to try this new "grain" and am very glad I found this prep recipe. The reviews of this recipe were helpful for me to see how important the extra rinsing would be prior to the toasting. This... — MNLisaB Oct 9, 2009

Chinese Barbecued Pork

Posted by Lorri Nichols  

Outstanding!! I used Chinese five spice powder instead of the cinammon, which gave a very authentic flavor, and luckily I used a larger tenderloin than called for so have lots leftover for a stir fry or lo mein. Many recipes call for sherry, but... — MNLisaB Apr 14, 2005

Tasty and very easy to put together. I added fresh mushrooms and used the bagged cabbage instead of the bok choy, and more garlic.Maybe the pasta was not as well drained as it should have been, because mine turned out too saucey. Will make again,... — MNLisaB Feb 3, 2005

Perfect Prime Rib

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lightly Toasted  

Don't know how or why this worked, but it did! I just used the salt and pepper to season, and it was perfectly done the way we like, medium rare. Our roast sat in the oven at least 2 hours in between turning the oven back on, and it was still... — MNLisaB Dec 25, 2004
