Scrambled Egg and Bacon Sandwich

Posted by Jellyqueen  

Simple, satisfying and easy! I made 1 serving, reducing bacon to 1 slice. I also added a tiny bit of crushed red pepper to my eggs & used mayo on whole wheat bread. This was delicious and a great way to start the day! — ElleFirebrand Nov 11, 2009

Leftover Mashed Potato Soup

Posted by Sue L  

Great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I used this recipe as a base to make leftover steak and potato soup. Thanks! — ElleFirebrand Sep 24, 2009

Anna's Blueberry Mini Muffins

Posted by Sue L  

The texture of these was really nice. Light and fluffy inside and nice and crusty outside. I did feel that they could've used a bit more honey... the blueberries in my neck of the woods are pretty tart right now. Next time I might increase the... — ElleFirebrand Aug 23, 2009

Moroccan Tuna Steaks

Posted by *Parsley*  

Pretty tasty. I had to cook my tuna steaks for quite a bit longer than specified. I served this with Tunisian Beet Salad #136158 and the overall effect was a bit too spicy, but absolutely delicious. I loved the flavors of this and the ease... — ElleFirebrand Aug 9, 2009

Tunisian-Style Roasted Beet Salad With Harissa

Posted by Cookgirl  

Surprisingly spicy, but delicious. I left out the parsley as I didn't have any and added a splash of balsamic vinegar for a bit more sweetness. I used a mix of beets. Delicious way to use my farmer's market beets! — ElleFirebrand Aug 9, 2009

Fabulous Broiled Breakfast Grapefruit

Posted by SAHMchef  

Yum! To make this easier to eat, I cut the skin off my grapefruit, then cut it in half, added the brown sugar and boiled it. Very tasty and I look forward to eating more grapefruit! — ElleFirebrand Aug 9, 2009

Roasted Balsamic Vegetables With Penne

Posted by Abby Cycotte  

Well, I wish I had followed the recipe more as it was written. I halved the recipe and used zucchini, 1 large tomato, 1/2 a red pepper and 1 clove of garlic. I was out of onion and did not have an eggplant or other good roasting veggies on hand.... — ElleFirebrand Jul 5, 2009

Fantastic Feta Chicken

Posted by Lorac  

Perfect for a Monday night. I drizzled my chicken breasts with a bit of olive oil before I put them in. I also used dried oregano. At the end, I broiled the feta just a bit to get it a little browner. A little squeeze of lemon at the end really... — ElleFirebrand Apr 20, 2009

Egg-Free Chocolate-Banana Loaf (Bread, Mini-Loaves, Muffins)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Vino Girl  

Yum! I made these when I was out of eggs. I also ran out of all-purpose flour so I substituted whole wheat flour for all the flour and the result was a moist and delicious muffin with a good amount of chocolate and banana punch. I think these... — ElleFirebrand Mar 16, 2009

Sweet Simmered Pork Chops

Posted by Michelle_My_Belle  

Easy, yummy weeknight meal! I used the following options: thick-cut pork chops, chives (instead of scallions), honey (instead of mirin) and white wine (instead of rice vinegar). My thick-cut chops cooked for about 22 minutes. Overall, this was a... — ElleFirebrand Dec 1, 2008

Creamless Celery Potato Soup

Posted by qiltkitty  

Once this is seasoned, it's not half bad. Skip that stuff, however, and this is rather unappealing. I used shallots in place of onion & garlic and added liberal amounts of sea salt and black pepper at the end, as well as 2 strips of crumbled... — ElleFirebrand Nov 30, 2008

Merlot Braised Beef Short Ribs

Posted by DancingPanda  

I had a heckuva time making short ribs last night. My ribs were very fatty and did not yield much meat. About 1 1/2 hours into the cooking time, I noticed that my oven was off. I tried to braise on the stove, but by the time we ate, it was past... — ElleFirebrand Nov 26, 2008

Tequila-Lime Flank Steak With Peppers and Onions

Posted by dicentra  

My husband insisted that I give this 5 stars. We chose this tonight because we bought a ton of limes on sale (10 for $1). We used tenderloin steak and I sliced the steak into strips before marinating. This came together very quickly. I only... — ElleFirebrand Nov 18, 2008

Chicken Curry Soup with Coconut and Lime

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Normaone  

This was delicious & very easy. I followed the recipe as written. Next time I might double the sauce, as there was a lot of chicken, but not much sauce. I also may consider adding some curry paste, as the curry flavor did not quite come through as... — ElleFirebrand Nov 17, 2008

White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Julesong  

For some reason I found these to be a bit bland. The combination is pretty good and I think they will go well with all the other holiday cookies I am making, but I will probably not bake again. — ElleFirebrand Nov 16, 2008

Georgetown Lime Cookies (Broas)

These are very delicious. I am baking them to include in a Christmas package, so I hope they freeze well. (I guess we'll find out.) They are absolutely delicate and very tasty. I did not find them too sweet but you definitely do not need to eat... — ElleFirebrand Nov 16, 2008

HERB ROASTED CHICKEN with Burnt Orange-Black Pepper Sauce &

Posted by Alan Leonetti  

Wow! This was so good. I followed it (sort of), but I did not have any fresh herbs, other than sage, so I used dried thyme, oregano and basil. I even forgot to let the chicken "marinate" and it was still delicious. The sauce came out very... — ElleFirebrand Nov 9, 2008

Dry Bombay Blue Sapphire Martini

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

Yum! I went out and bought vermouth just for this. I did not use olives or capers but instead added a lemon twist. Very delicious! Perhaps this will be my new signature drink, especially because we just got a set of martini glasses for our wedding. — ElleFirebrand Nov 9, 2008

Bayrischer Kartoffelsalat (Barvarian Potato Salad)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sackville  

I think this needed more salt or something. This seems pretty authentic but it wasn't the best potato salad I've ever had. We enjoyed it though with Nurenburger bratwurst. It was a good match! — ElleFirebrand Nov 7, 2008

Down Home Macaroni and Cheese

This may have been one of the first macaroni & cheese recipes I tried. I used reduced-fat Velveeta and Cabot sharp cheddar cheese. Pretty good, but it seemed a bit on the bland side. Next time I will add more cracked black pepper and some ground... — ElleFirebrand Oct 23, 2008
