Basmati Rice With Cashews, Peas and Fresh Coriander

Posted by bluemoon downunder  

Very nice. Subbed kale for spinach (and I find kale less likeable) and it was still good. Subbed garlic for asafedita. The cashew are especially nice. thanks for sharing. — dianegrapegrower Nov 16, 2009

Black Pepper Pasta

Posted by Dancer^  

I am new to pasta making, and this recipe has no instructions for rolling or cooking, so I had to check other sources midstream. The flavor's ok, but the color (due to the pepper) is really unattractive. I don't think I'll make this again. — dianegrapegrower Nov 8, 2009

Samosa Potatoes

Posted by Canadian Cookie  

This was very nice. I suspect it's highly dependent on the choice of curry powder - I used Penzey's Balti Curry Seasoning. Nice ratio of green veges to potatoes, nice seasonings, nice amount of sauce. Very clear directions. Thanks for sharing!... — dianegrapegrower Nov 7, 2009

Creole Black-Eyed Peas

Posted by Iowahorse  

I was prepared to love this dish. Had all my favorite things. But the seasoning was off - beans with no salt? Was a bit bland. — dianegrapegrower Nov 1, 2009

Thai Seafood Kabobs With Spicy Peanut Rice

Posted by barefootmommawv  

No stars, because I think this dish is entirely dependent on the brand of peanut sauce chose. Ours was much too hot, but that isn't the fault of the recipe. Be sure you choose a sauce you are familiar with, as it is the main seasoning in this dish. — dianegrapegrower Oct 29, 2009

Nona's Japanese Spicy Sauce - Chuka Tare

Posted by Rinshinomori  

Delicious! We had this with grilled shrimp and scallops, korokke, and green beans. The sauce improved every dish. And so easy and quick to prepare. DH rarely rates anything above a 4, but gave this 5. Thanks for sharing, Nona - this will be... — dianegrapegrower Oct 29, 2009

Delicious! Slightly sweet, very moist. Didn't have walnuts, so used almonds instead. I'll make this again. Diane — dianegrapegrower Oct 25, 2009

Outstanding! Have made these before, following a recipe without the cheese - not nearly so good. Next time, will add a little garlic too. Thanks for sharing. Editted to add: great with kale instead of cabbage, too. — dianegrapegrower Oct 17, 2009

Moroccan Lemon Chicken With Olives

Posted by Sydney Mike  

Absolutely delicious! Strong clear flavors - the spices, the lemon, cilantro, and olives, all work together well. Used diced chicken, so cooking was quick - and I'll bet the second time through this will even quicker. A great weeknight dinner... — dianegrapegrower Oct 17, 2009

Rocio Salad (Beets, Avocado and Feta)

Posted by JanuaryBride  

This was very good! I was surprised - I'm not fond of beets, but had some to use up. The sweetness of the beets, the creaminess of the avocado, and the salty feta all worked together really, really well. Thanks for sharing! — dianegrapegrower Oct 11, 2009

Italian Tuna Casserole

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Can't rate this, because it wasn't to our taste - We like spicy food. But, as an example of tuna casserole, this was very good. It's easy to prepare. Servings were very generous. The spinach was a good addition. I'd planned to add red bell... — dianegrapegrower Sep 29, 2009

Quick Hunan Grilled Chicken

Posted by Sue L  

Very good! I like using this recipe for OAMC as there isn't significant acid in the marinade, which can make chicken mushy when marinating for an extended period (like in the freezer). Thanks for sharing. — dianegrapegrower Sep 26, 2009

Braised Chicken With Mushrooms and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Posted by sugarpea  

5 stars for easy, 4.5 for taste. Very tasty, easy dish. I think next time I will drain the sun-dried tomatoes, as the finished dish was very rich. (We got 3 servings, made to the recipe) Used white wine, based on previous reviews. Delicious!... — dianegrapegrower Sep 24, 2009

Turkey Chorizo

Posted by PaulaG  

Wonderful flavor and much less fat. Reduced chile powder to 1 T. and omitted red pepper flakes due to allergies, but still had lots of flavor. Used, crumbled, to make burritos. Froze the extras in single servings for lunches, and that's worked... — dianegrapegrower Sep 22, 2009

Senate Bean Soup

Delicious. Nice balance of flavors, hearty and satisfying. Wonderful winter comfort food. Freezes well too, making this a great candidate for OAMC. Served with crusty bread and spinach salad for a balanced meal. Thanks for sharing. Diane — dianegrapegrower Sep 20, 2009

Nutmeg Chicken Under a Cast-Iron Skillet

Posted by Love to Eat!!  

I subbed thyme for rosemary (personal preference), and since we have a rotisserie attachment for our grill, I didn't split and flatten the chicken. The rub was tasty and the meat was very moist. The skin, which is normally crispy for us, was a... — dianegrapegrower Sep 19, 2009

Gouda to Know Ya Bacon Burgers

I'd expected to love these - the recipe looks great! Made exactly per the recipe. But there's so many seasonings going on, I couldn't taste the beef! Any one of them would have resulted in a delicious burger, but altogether it overwhelmed the... — dianegrapegrower Sep 13, 2009

Mixed Fresh Veggies

Posted by Love to Eat!!  

A lovely summer veggie medley. Nice balance - I will add a red bell pepper for color and flavor next time. Used fresh parsley in place of the italian herbs. Made for Fall PAC, 2009. Thanks for sharing! — dianegrapegrower Sep 13, 2009
