Low-Fat Buffalo Chicken Strips

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef #738454  

Total Surprise Success! I'm a bit embarrassed for my husband who scarfed down so many of these, I thought he'd burst, so I spread a tarp over the dining room just before dinner. (Ok, not really, but it's not a bad idea.) Anyway, this was our... — Sandi (From CA) Jul 29, 2009

Lemon Pork Chops

Posted by Theresa/ Thunderbird  

Super easy and a nice change of pace from our usual chops. I couldn't taste much of the lemon, though. I'm not sure why, but I'd add more next time - I love lemon! Thank you, Theresa/Thunderbird, for posting! — Sandi (From CA) Jul 29, 2009

Carolina Strawberry Lemonade

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

WOW! First time making this - but won't be the last. I used some frozen cubes of lemon juice from lemons that were juiced, "FoodSavered" and frozen several months ago, which is a great idea if your lemon tree goes bonkers dropping 17 of its little... — Sandi (From CA) Jul 29, 2009

Orange Roughy with Dill Sauce

Posted by Gwenn  

Major nomz! I could have bathed in this. (Ok, ew. The idea was far more attractive than the reality would be.) Perfectly cooked fish and perfectly sinful! I cheated and used regular-fat mayo, but I can't imagine the use of low-fat mayo taking... — Sandi (From CA) Jul 29, 2009

Applebees Fiesta Lime Chicken Copycat Recipe

Posted by seesko  

This was really tasty, even without the tequila, which is NOT one of my best friends - (see incident at age 17). Besides that omission and halving the recipe, I made it as indicated and, well, we were HAPPY. :o) Thanks for sharing, seesko! — Sandi (From CA) Jul 29, 2009

Berghoff's Creamed Spinach

Posted by Hey Jude  

DELISH! I admit that I sort of expected it from the way the recipe sounded, but what I didn't expect was for my spinach-hating husband to eat ALL the leftovers. Greedy punk. :D What a fantastic blend of flavors this created. Thank you, Judy,... — Sandi (From CA) Jul 29, 2009

Molasses Spice Cookies With Dark Rum Glaze

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Debbie R.  

We found these in American Classics by the editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine, a publication that I'm now thoroughly psychically married to since EVERYTHING I've ever made from their books/magazines turns out perfect... and beyond. I've... — Sandi (From CA) Jun 24, 2009

Wasabi Salad Dressing

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Vino Girl  

This was really nice and I don't even like wasabi! I know, I know... why did I make it if I don't like it? I'm in love with the salad dressing at my favorite sushi place and am trying to find something similar. I know they use wasabi, so this one... — Sandi (From CA) May 4, 2009

Salisbury Steak Surprise With Ground Mushroom Gravy

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Christmas Carol  

Whooooa, horsie! This stopped us dead in our tracks with shocking glee! I mean, we both love bleu cheese, but the combination of it and the remaining ingredients sent this puppy WAY over the top of heaven. I used ground tri tip, forming 2 patties... — Sandi (From CA) Apr 20, 2009

I served this to our Saturday visitors and they swooned. Swooned! :D I'd found a jar of apricot-peach preserves that I used and it turned out sooo delicious. Thank you, Paula, and your great-grandmother! — Sandi (From CA) Apr 6, 2009

Argentinean Oak-Planked Beef Tenderloin With Chimichurri Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Manami  

Superb! Our steaks were more like 1"-thick, so we ended up putting them directly on the grill (no plank) for 4 additional minutes and they turned out perfect! The sauce was ~WHOOOOIE!~ hot from the garlic and red pepper flakes, but not so much to... — Sandi (From CA) Apr 6, 2009

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by What's Cooking?  

These were nicely flavored, but needed more time in my oven as they turned out far too firm at 30 minutes. I'll definitely try them again because I love sprouts and this technique is far better than others I've tried. Thank you for sharing, What's... — Sandi (From CA) Mar 14, 2009

Grilled Balsamic London Broil

Mmmm.... what a wonderful flavor these had! I made it exactly as indicated, but scored the top surface of the meat and marinated it for 24 hours. We grilled it for 8 minutes on one side, 7 on the other, then, discovering it a tad too raw, grilled... — Sandi (From CA) Mar 14, 2009

Molasses Sugar Cookies

With a few changes, these turned out really great! I first found the recipe from allrecipes which used margarine instead of shortening and doubled up the spices, so that's how I made it. I also froze the dough for 2 days before using; someone said... — Sandi (From CA) Mar 14, 2009

Gel Air Fresheners

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by UnknownChef86  

Fun, easy and I only wish I had some pretty containers! I had to use undecorated jars which work well, but don't look all that hot. It's ok, I'll make these again; I LOVE them. I let mine gel in the garage - worked perfectly. Since, like all... — Sandi (From CA) Feb 26, 2009

Red Beans and Rice Like Popeye's

Posted by mandabears  

This tasted quite nice made as directed, but was amazingly dry, particularly compared to Popeye's. Toward the end I added about 1/8 cup of water which really didn't do anything. Perhaps leaving some of the bean liquid in would have helped. I'm... — Sandi (From CA) Feb 21, 2009

Mango Ginger Smoothie

Wow! (That's what my husband and I were repeating like a mantra while drinking these.) I admit to using Fage whole milk Greek yogurt, so the calories were definitely in place, but I couldn't help myself. Almost everything I make that calls for... — Sandi (From CA) Feb 18, 2009
