Spanish Rice

Posted by Rick B(2)  

Great taste, easy preparation. I used brown rice and adjusted cooking time accordingly (about 45 minutes for the rice to absorb all the water). Also added chopped green pepper. Next time I will add a bit more cumin. — Omniveg Nov 10, 2009

Lemon-Baked Cod

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kymmarie  

Not the best for me, but it was probably my fault for dredging the flour on too thick. The fish itself was good, but the coating turned rather mushy. If I make this again, I will go lighter on the flour... or better yet, just stick to butter and... — Omniveg Oct 14, 2009

Ginger Beef With Bok Choy

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Good; not difficult. May I respectfully suggest that there's no need to add salt when using soy sauce. Soy sauce is already crazy-high in sodium; the reason "light" soy sauce is called "light" is because the sodium is reduced (a bit). Adding salt... — Omniveg Oct 14, 2009

Scottish Scones

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mille® ™  

My only mistake was cutting the recipe in half — we needed more! Family ate them up right out of the oven at night, so there were not enough left for breakfast. That's easily fixed next time. I used raisins instead of currants, also added... — Omniveg Oct 12, 2009

Crusty French Bread

Posted by PCrocker  

Very nice. Mine did not get as crusty as I hoped, but I will try again with a pan of water in the oven. We especially liked one reviewer's idea of making this as rolls; I made one normal loaf and eight knot rolls, and the rolls all disappeared first. — Omniveg Oct 7, 2009

Wholesome Homemade Honey Whole Wheat Bread

Posted by Karen=^..^=  

A really good basic and wholesome bread. Not too sweet, not too heavy-- just right. Fine for sandwiches and toast; heavenly smell while it's baking. — Omniveg Sep 30, 2009

Easy Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore

Posted by Mike I.  

I found what was missing from this recipe-- garlic! After reading the reviews, I decided to make this dish, but I added 6 cloves chopped garlic and generous grinds of black pepper. (I also used oregano, basil, thyme and bay leaf in place of the... — Omniveg Sep 29, 2009

Easy Crock Pot BBQ Chicken (Low Fat)

Posted by ~*Miss Diggy*~  

This is cooking at its easiest. A lot of satisfaction for a little work. Like some other reviewers, I found this came out a bit dry, but I think that if I had doubled the recipe and frozen half for later, that wouldn't have happened. My crock pot... — Omniveg Sep 28, 2009

Roasted Eggplant (Aubergine) Spread

Posted by Geema  

Beyond outstanding. This is one of the best things I have ever eaten. It never made it to the food processor — it looked so lovely just as it was, out of the oven. I served it warm over pasta with just a little grated parmesan. There's some left... — Omniveg Sep 22, 2009

Curried Couscous

Posted by Kishka  

I've made this at least five times now, and I plan to keep making it! It's a good company side dish and popular at potlucks. Every time it's a little different, as I use what's on hand. I usually use garam masala instead of the curry powder and... — Omniveg Sep 20, 2009

Lemon Rice Pilaf

Posted by gailanng  

This will be my standard rice side dish from now on. It disappeared rapidly with grilled shrimp. I, like other reviewers, left the garlic in, and I added some chopped parsley at the end. My chicken broth had some salt, so I didn't add more. — Omniveg Sep 10, 2009

Banana Bread

Posted by Marzalicious  

My son and I made this because we were tired of our usual healthful-but-dry banana bread recipel This was a nice change, and we'll make it again. Moist, dense and flavorful. Our adaptations: We used brown sugar and whole grain pastry flour. — Omniveg Aug 18, 2009

"This must be one of the best cookies I have ever eaten!' AKA Snickerdoodles

Posted by GloriaAnn  

The title is true — this is a real snickerdoodle. A bit of cinnamon in the dough makes it perfect. 9 minutes was plenty in my oven, though I made the cookie balls a little smaller than the recipe indicated. (A bonus for a small family: This... — Omniveg Aug 17, 2009

Grilled Shrimp Scampi

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Chippie  

This is becoming a family favorite. I have made it three times (under the broiler works fine if you don't have a grill), and it gets raves. The flavors are just right. And no, that's not too much garlic. The only time-consuming part is deveining... — Omniveg Jul 3, 2009

Vegetable Barley Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Charlotte J  

A good takeoff point--easy to adapt to yoiur preferences. I added some leeks in with the garlic and onions, because I had them on hand, and some chopped leftover chicken toward the end. I left out the zucchini, 'cause I didn't have any, and added... — Omniveg Jun 27, 2009

Super Easy: Zucchini Side Dish

Good! My son at first didn't want to taste, then surprised himself: "These are good!" I used scallions instead of the Vidalia onion, and fresh-chopped parsley instead of the dill. Thanks for posting it. — Omniveg May 31, 2009

Filipino Adobo (Pork or Chicken) With Slow Cooker Variation

Posted by acerast  

I really enjoyed this-- Definitely worth making again. The hint about the rice vinegar was helpful; I also used the little bag for bay leaves and peppercorns. My butcher advised me to make sure not to cook on too high a heat... gentle does it...... — Omniveg May 18, 2009

Baby Bok Choy With Garlic

Posted by Crabzilla  

Nice easy way to make bok choy. The chicken broth is a good idea; it keeps the garlic & bok choy from browning during the saute. I used a dib-dab of butter along with canola oil; added a touch of soy sauce and sesame oil at the end. Excellent. — Omniveg May 17, 2009
