Meatloaf-Haters Meatloaf

Posted by P4  

I omitted the veal and used pork sausage. Also used cheddar rather than Parmesan, as that's what I had on hand-- and reduced the salt to 1/2 teaspoon since I had sausage in the mix. This was extremely good, though maybe a bit dry, so I'll probably... — A Messy Cook Nov 11, 2009

Veronica's Easy Spanish Rice

Posted by Trixyinaz  

Yum. I used jasmine rice, so reduced the water to 1 1/2 cups and only had to simmer 25 minutes. Upon other reviewers' suggestions, I upped the chili powder, and added 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1 teaspoon oregano. Also, I used corn rather than diced... — A Messy Cook Nov 11, 2009

Chicken Breasts in lemon cream sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Just Cher  

This is quite good. It could use more lemon and some salt in the sauce. I'll make it again with a few tweaks. — A Messy Cook Oct 21, 2009

Baked Pesto Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Tish  

Delicious. I'll make this again for sure! I omitted the tomatoes, as my fiance's not a fan But this was fabulous even without the tomatoes. I used bone-in chicken thighs and they took about 45 minutes to cook. — A Messy Cook Oct 20, 2009

This is a keeper. I added 1/2 t. salt and used jasmine rice, one of my favorite varieties. It cooks up light and firm. Thanks for an easy and delicious side dish. — A Messy Cook Oct 20, 2009

D's Roasted Butternut Squash

Posted by Ranikabani  

Absolutely five stars. The flavor was just incredible. Perfect combination of ingredients. My squash chunks were a bit smaller, and took half an hour at 400 degrees (I was roasting a chicken at the same time, which is why I had to use the higher... — A Messy Cook Oct 15, 2009

Pasta Primavera

Posted by Just Call Me Martha  

Yum. I used julienned carrots and red pepper, plus the snow peas, and also added some cubed sauteed chicken. Since I didn't have any cream, I just used whole milk and thickened it with a bit of cornstarch (and used 1 cup mozzarella instead of... — A Messy Cook Sep 24, 2009

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Posted by Amy Quackenbush  

Yum. I used Provelone cheese and a bit more Dijon than called for. Also, I sprinkled the pounded breasts with a little salt and pepper first, and then rolled the chicken in panko (coarse bread crumbs). Served these with a mushroom cheese sauce.... — A Messy Cook Aug 20, 2009

Mean Chef's Buttermilk Scones

Posted by newspapergal  

Yum. I used half whole wheat flour and they still rose beautifully. Instead of freezing the shaped scones, I just chilled the dough (no room in the freezer) and then worked quickly to shape and cut the scones. I lightly kneaded some currants into... — A Messy Cook Aug 3, 2009

Yum! I've made this a lot this summer, and it's good with or without the sugar and vinegar. I also don't peel the cucumbers. — A Messy Cook Jul 26, 2009

Catfish With Cornmeal Breading

Posted by Bill From New Mexico  

Delicious recipe, tasted great on tilapia. Instead of adding salt to the wet mixture, I put normal salt in the dry mixture, while omitting the celery salt altogether. Also, I didn't have paprika so used cayenne instead. I prefer baked fish to... — A Messy Cook Jul 14, 2009

Peanut Butter Brownies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Northern_Reflectionz  

I used natural peanut butter, without added sugar-- I preferred it that way. With sugary PB, I think it would have been too sweet. They tasted good, a little dry-- maybe I'll underbake them next time. Thanks for a simple and delicious recipe.... — A Messy Cook Jul 8, 2009

Tomato and Basil Bruschetta

Posted by BothFex  

Thanks for the excellent recipe. I added one small chopped onion and used a full tablespoon of vinegar. I also tossed the tomato mixture with 1/4 c. Parmesan instead of broiling the bread. This will certainly appear on our table again! — A Messy Cook Jun 27, 2009

Deep Dark Chocolate Cake

Posted by Lennie  

Fabulous. This really is the best chocolate cake (even better than my mom's, and that's saying something!). I used plain low-fat yogurt in place of buttermilk, and reduced the sugar to 1 3/4 cups. This makes great cupcakes too. — A Messy Cook Jun 27, 2009
