Spinach Cashew Salad

Posted by Winnipeg *Mel*  

Delish! had it pretty much as is, though the bacon I had had gone sour, so we didn't have it. I reduced the sugar in the dressing, and added a little salt. Will make again! — Amethyst42 Sep 15, 2009

Simple Stir Fry Sauce

Posted by C & D's Mommy  

A great, and as it is advertised, simple sauce. Husband and I gobbled it up, kids weren't quite as enthusiastic. I did not have wine, so I used water as directed, and chicken stock. — Amethyst42 Aug 16, 2009

Green Goddess Salad Dressing

Posted by Lennie  

Delish! I can't say enough good things. Followed the directions pretty much exactly (rare for me). Tastes even better when it sits overnight. — Amethyst42 May 23, 2009

Quick Yellow Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

As advertised! Tasty and moist. I used butter, and baked it in two 8" circular cake pans, which it filled just right. About the same cooking time too. 2/03/2009 As an update, I doubled the recipe, and baked it in a bundt pan. It took almost an... — Amethyst42 Feb 2, 2009

No Bake Cheesecake

Posted by Cheryl E  

So easy to make, and SOOO yummy! It is true, one needs to wait 24 hours for the flavour to develop. About 15 minutes in my (newish) fridge was enough to thicken it before adding the whipped cream, YMMV. I used butter in the crust, not margarine,... — Amethyst42 Aug 26, 2008

Sweet & Sour Spareribs

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by bikelap9  

My husband is uber-fussy, but when he tells you "Make this again, don't change it, don't mess with it, save any left-over sauce and freeze it!" you know it's good! I will admit to substituting pineapple juice for water, and lowering the white... — Amethyst42 Mar 9, 2008

Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmigiana

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Dragoness  

I made this a few months ago and forgot to review it! No one else in my family had a chance to try this, because I CONSUMED IT UTTERLY! How delicious! Make sure you use a decent quality mozzarella and marinara sauce for best results. YUM! — Amethyst42 Dec 16, 2007

Crock Pot Old South Pulled Pork on a Bun

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Olga Drozd  

Delicious! My super-picky husband at half the crock at least. For once I made the recipe exactly as listed. I added a little salt after tasting, but that's a personal taste thing, right? Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! — Amethyst42 Dec 7, 2007

Sesame-Sunflower-Poppy-Flax Seed Buttermilk Bread!

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sharon123  

Just delicious! Like others, I did a second rise (mostly because everyone else needed the oven the moment I needed it). It is tasty and the crust is just-right. Didn't have sunflower or sesame seeds, but that didn't matter because it was... — Amethyst42 Oct 8, 2007

Hash Browns (Patties - Low Sodium) Homemade

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Mille® ™  

I was wavering between rating four or five only for the fact it does not mention to drain the excess water from the shredded potatoes. I had quite a bit of liquid in the bottom of the bowl. But I decided on 5 because, after draining them, they... — Amethyst42 Jul 11, 2007

Rosemary Grilled Pork Tenderloins

Posted by Nolan'sMom  

Delish! LIke Hazeleyes, I didn't have molasses, but it didn't matter. There was no chance of that tenderloin surviving to the leftover stage. I served it with grilled asparagus marinated in a lemon-olive oil vinagrette, and it was a perfect... — Amethyst42 Jun 24, 2007

White Asparagus With Mushrooms in Brown Butter

Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

I feel as though perhaps I should not be writing review because I had to make a couple of substitutions. White asparagus wasn't available, I used green. Also, I thought I had lemon and parsley in the fridge, but I didn't. But you know what, even... — Amethyst42 Apr 21, 2007

Apple Stuffed Pork Chops

Posted by RiBigMouth  

An enjoyable dish, pretty easy to make. I added 1/4 of a finely chopped red pepper to add colour and veggie content. I also didn't use chicken broth as I found the stuffing moist enough. — Amethyst42 Apr 17, 2007

Lemon-Rosemary Grilled Pork Tenderloin

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by cookalot #2  

Wow! Tender and deeeelicious! I will admit to having mustard, garlic, lemon, and rosemary being 4 of my very favourite ingredients, but that doesn't matter 'cuz it's great! The BBQ is still covered with snow, so I did it in the oven at 350,... — Amethyst42 Mar 14, 2007

Stroganoff

Posted by Chibi  

I found it a little bland as directed. However, that's nothing a little paprika and Worststershire sauce didn't fix! It's a quick and dirty stroganoff that's great when you're pinched for time. — Amethyst42 Feb 22, 2007

Pork Stew With Cornmeal Dumplings (Crock Pot)

Posted by southern chef in louisiana  

Great! Dumplings were tasty and fully cooked (unlike a lot of dumpling recipes I find). Only thing I would change next time would be to briefly sauté the carrots and potatoes next time, to add a little more flavour. We seasoned this with Tony... — Amethyst42 Jan 22, 2007

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Square

Yum! This is the one I remember from my childhood. Tripled the recipe and ran out of butterscotch chips, so I added chocolate chips in the mix and it tastes great! — Amethyst42 Nov 25, 2005

BBQ Pot Ribs

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Miss Erin  

Awesome! Easy to make, not overly sweet, and delicious! Added some Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, 3 crushed garlic cloves (what isn't improved by garlic?), and liquid smoke. Didn't have onions, but it didn't matter! — Amethyst42 Sep 23, 2005

PORK ROAST (Six-Hour Roast)
