Penne with Vodka

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

I recently had vodka sauced pasta for the first time while out to eat and really wanted to make a similar dish at home. I thought it would be complicated and ingredient-intensive, but this wasn't at all! I loved it! Left out the Tabasco and used... — alijen Nov 4, 2005

Spinach Artichoke Casserole

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jane*in*RI  

This was exactly what we were looking for- a side dish version of our favorite dip! We doubled the parmesan and artichoke hearts, but otherwise made it as written. So delicious!!! Served with a Honey Baked Ham, rolls, and red potatoes. It was the... — alijen Nov 2, 2005

Quick and Easy Pumpkin Pie Bars

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Sharlene~W  

These were delicious. I used a spice cake mix instead, and know I'll be making them this way again. The creamy pumpkin layer on top of the spice cake went wonderfully together. Thank you for a great recipe- they were the hit of my Halloween party! — alijen Nov 1, 2005

Greek Diced Vegetable Salad

Posted by Ms*Bindy  

I'm so pleased with this salad. We made Greek lettuce wraps out of this. I added a jar of artichoke hearts, drained, doubled the olives and used about 1/2 cup of feta. It was a nice, light side to the grilled chicken we had (marinated in a greek... — alijen Oct 3, 2005

Lemon Caper Sauce For Chicken or Fish

Posted by L DJ  

I usually make chicken breasts with artichoke hearts and black olives and its kind of bland and boring. But this sauce goes perfectly! I think next time I'll serve over tilapia and add in the black olives again. Thanks! — alijen Sep 27, 2005

Seared Scallops With Cabbage and Leeks

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Derf  

I'm so impressed with this simple meal. I loved it! This was my first attempt at leeks (they're so simple, but always seemed exotic and potentially difficult) and I'll be making this again. I doubled the amount of scallops because, well, you can... — alijen Sep 25, 2005

Winter Crunch Bark

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Donna M.  

This is just great! I used white chocolate chips and added the 2 teaspoons of shortening- thats what I always do when making chocolate covered pretzels. This was better though! I loved the dried cranberries and didn't have almonds, so I used... — alijen Apr 27, 2005

Bread Pudding and a Kiss

Posted by Barb Gertz  

You beat me to it! I was going to post this recipe... Its so good! I loved it. Only thing, recipe calls for 16 kisses, but to cut the pudding into 25 peices. So, I just had to add more kisses. Fine by me! — alijen Feb 7, 2005

Steamy Passion

Oh Wow! This is really amazing! I used Pinot Grigio from a local winery in Virginia and was very impressed, and so were my dinner guests. We had a pre-Valentine's Day party and this went well with the appetizers and we decided to whip up another... — alijen Jan 31, 2005

This is an amazing liqueur! I could not be more pleased with the results. Its going to make a lovely addition to a gift basket for my SIL. My only complaint is that I bought a deep red bottle a few weeks ago to put it in, and I wish I had a clear... — alijen Dec 11, 2004

Chilled Greek Zucchini

Posted by Georgia Girl  

I made two sets of these- one with extra cheese, without tuna, and one with the tuna. Both were really good! I also left out the olive oil in both recipes, and cut the mayo in half. I'll make these again. The ones with tuna would be a great for a... — alijen Dec 3, 2004

Baked French Toast Casserole With Maple Syrup

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Jamia Motsinger  

I made this right out of Paula's cookbook The Lady and Sons and was quite dissappointed. Normally I love her recipes, but this one just didn't work for us. It was soggy and while it puffed up to be quite pretty when I pulled it out of the oven, it... — alijen Nov 28, 2004
