Lebanese Lamb Meatballs

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by English_Rose  

This was so easy and tasted wonderful. I used a very lean ground beef because I did not have any lamb, but the spices gave it that Lebanese taste anyway. Served it with a cold Lebanese cucumber soup, a Greek salad, and then made the meatballs... — Donna Matthews Sep 16, 2009

Reuben Loaf

Posted by Poker  

This was fantastic for our special "date picnic". Since Ruebens are about my favorite sandwich, I made a few adjustments. First I substituted 1 cup of rye flour for 1 of the ap flour; then added a tablespoon of gluten, a rounded teaspoon of... — Donna Matthews Aug 27, 2009

Curried Chicken, Artichoke, and Rice Salad

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

I wanted to use up some rice and was in the mood for curry. This salad was perfect. I only had green bell peppers, and had to use a combo of some sweet white onions and some chives instead of the green onions, but otherwise had everything else on... — Donna Matthews Jul 16, 2009

Honey Wheat Oatmeal Bread

Posted by ThatBobbieGirl  

A wonderful loaf; was just sweet enough and had body without being heavy. I had to increase the water to 1 1/2 cups, added 1 tablespoon gluten and used 1 tablespoon of regular yeast. I also set my machine for a 1.5 pound loaf on the whole wheat... — Donna Matthews Jul 16, 2009

Fassolakia Freska Me Domata - Greek Green Beans & Tomato

Posted by Um Safia  

I found these to make a pleasant vegetable to accompany more strongly flavored Greek foods for a themed meal; but I would probably not fix them for a regular family dinner. — Donna Matthews Mar 27, 2009

Armenian Herb Marinade Grilled Chicken Breasts

Posted by Stacky5  

I tried this on both chicken fillets and lamb cubes. We liked it on the chicken quite a lot; but felt it was too mild to flavor the lamb much. — Donna Matthews Mar 27, 2009

Moroccan Lamb Kabobs

Posted by Annacia  

Outstanding flavor! I cut a boneless leg of lamb into pieces and marinated for 3 days the first time I made it, 5 days the second time. I also cut larger chunks the second time since I was serving them as a part of a Middle Eastern themed dinner... — Donna Matthews Mar 26, 2009

Unfried Refried Beans

Posted by cookiedog  

We loved these. I used only 1/2 jalapeno because we don't like things very spicy. It is so superior to canned refried beans! Also so easy ... especially with no presoaking. — Donna Matthews Mar 26, 2009

Flaming Bananas

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

Gave this recipe 5 stars both for taste and impressiveness. Used banana liqueur this time because my girls hate anything coffee, but I think that the coffee liqueur might balance the heaviness of the rum a little better. We all enjoyed the... — Donna Matthews Mar 26, 2009

Absolutely perfect! I only had 1/2 jalapeno, but that was enough for my family. Thank yo7u for the very clear instructions and the best Mexican rice I have ever made. — Donna Matthews Mar 24, 2009

Shredded Chicken for Enchiladas, Tostadas, Tacos...

Posted by JT'sMom  

Wonderfully flavorful, but not overpowering. Because I chose to boil 2 whole chickens, it was a rather time consuming project, but the end results were worth it. My meat was extremely tender and juicy, I have plenty for my upcoming party and... — Donna Matthews Mar 18, 2009

Nacho Cheese Sauce

Posted by Chani Goldstein  

Wonderful nacho sauce. I added a 7 oz. can of diced green chilies, about 2/3 c. thick and chunky medium salsa, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; found the consistency to be just right as is. Thank you so much for a basic recipe with NO Velvita! — Donna Matthews Jan 23, 2009

Greek Spaghetti Squash

Posted by Chef #573662  

We really love this. I have now fixed it multiple times and have found that the ingredient quantities are quite flexible, although I always double the chicken to increase the protein count. One time we were short on the spaghetti squash and that... — Donna Matthews Jan 20, 2009

Hearty Turkey and Mushroom Casserole

What a wonderful disguise for leftover turkey, especially since I don't really like turkey!! I substituted wild rice for the brown rice (loved the crunch) and added a good size layer of fresh baby spinach between the rice and the chopped turkey... — Donna Matthews Dec 9, 2008

Wonderful snack! I used 16 cups of popcorn instead of 8. This made the caramel corn light and crunchy without any stickiness and the taste was still quite adicting. — Donna Matthews Nov 28, 2008

Basil Baked Tilapia

Posted by MNLisaB  

Although DH thought it was a nice change from tilapia on the grill, I was disappointed that the basil, lemon and wine flavors did not infuse the fish very much. It was quick and easy, which is always a plus, but I might try running the basil,... — Donna Matthews Sep 20, 2008
