Dave's Chili

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

Very nice chili. I made this with soya meat substitute, so I left out the first phase (meat substitute is added only in the last minutes). Nice bit of heat, and very flavourful. — kolibri Jun 26, 2006

Chapati (East African Bread)

Posted by Auntie Jan  

Something went horribly wrong - these turned out to be bitter and hard. I followed the instructions but maybe I put too much oil on the pan or the pan was too hot. I'm not giving any stars as it was probably my own fault as others made this recipe... — kolibri Jun 18, 2006

Kebab Koutbane

Posted by kzbhansen  

Sooo good! I used bacon, and added coriander and cumin too. Marinated for maybe three hours, and cooked in very hot oven for 15 minutes. The fatty bacon and the olive oil keep the beef moist, and the spices make it flavourful. These would be great... — kolibri Jun 18, 2006

Shrimp in Chipotle Sauce (Camarones Enchipotlados)

Posted by Galley Wench  

So good! I used three tablespoons of habanero salsa instead of the chilis as I had that in the pantry, otherwise followed the instructions. Very easy and fast. Only think I would change next time is to maybe half the amount of onion, one is too... — kolibri Jun 14, 2006

Picante Chicken and Peppers

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by PanNan  

This was amazing - so easy and quick and good. You could modify this quite a bit by choosing a different picante - I used habanero picante so it had a slightly smoky taste. — kolibri Jun 14, 2006

Tequila Lime Syrup for Fruit Salad

Posted by justcallmetoni  

This was a huge hit at a party I took it to! As it was an adult party I doubled the amount of tequila and lime, and it was still pretty sweet. Everyone was really impressed. Will make again, for sure! — kolibri Jun 10, 2006

Scallion and Bacon Potato Salad

Posted by Auntie Jan  

Nice potatoe salad. I didn't put in celery as a preference, otherwise followed instructions. I think it could have used some spices (not sure what though), it was quite heavily relying on bacon to bring in flavor. The dressing was very nice -... — kolibri Jun 8, 2006

Meatballs With Buttermilk Gravy

Posted by Chabear01  

I can't really give stars to this recipe as I misread the instructions and had a bit of a boo boo You see I put in the meatballs the 2 cups of butter milk, and the result was a a bit strange. Good, but strange... I'll try to make this recipe... — kolibri Jun 5, 2006

Oven Chipped Potatoes

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend  

Very tasty! I used dried parsley as I didn't have fresh, otherwise followed the instructions. Who knew thyme and parsley went so well with potatoes! Hubby loved them too, and I will make these again. — kolibri Jun 4, 2006

Greek Lemon Chicken With Potatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

Lovely and oh so simple. I reduced the amount of oil to half (1/4 cup) but it didn't matter, there's quite a lot of fat in the chicken once it's in the pan. I also doubled the amount of garlic My husband especially loved the potatoes and asked... — kolibri Jun 4, 2006

Pasta Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend  

Nice pasta salad I couldn't find Italian dressing mix so I used just Italian herbs instead and I made the sauce with the herbs, salt and pepper, olive oil, vinegar and water. For my husband I added a cooked chicken breast which I cubed and... — kolibri May 31, 2006

Spicy Baked Beans

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Sackville  

Wonderful! I changed the recipe a bit - doubled the amount of beans, increased the chili to 2 teaspoons, put in a whole lemon and dried parsley instead of fresh. I was a bit hesitant about the amount of cinnamon but put it all in anyway - and it... — kolibri May 24, 2006

Lemon Chicken

Posted by paula giles  

Very nice! I squeezed in a whole lemon, and chopped in a fresh jalopeno with seeds and all. I don't have a grill, so I wrapped the chicken in individual foil packets (making sure no leaking would happen) and put them into 400F oven for about 20... — kolibri May 21, 2006

Meatballs in Tomato Gravy

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by LAURIE  

My husband absolutely loved this and insisted I give it five stars! I thought the addition of katchup in the meatballs was a really good idea, and leaving it in the oven makes it really easy and hassle free. Thanks for sharing! — kolibri Apr 21, 2006

Shepherd's Pie With Garlic Potato Topping

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Rhonda *J*  

Great recipe! I subbed carrots with peas, milk with sour cream and I also left out the egg in the mashed potatoes as I didn't think it really needed it. I love the garlic with the topping. Will make again, for sure. — kolibri Apr 8, 2006

Great way to spice up mashed potatoes. You can also put the mixture into a cold mashed potatoes, in case you want to heat it up in microwave in portions. — kolibri Apr 6, 2006

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM LOAF

Made with the mushroom sauce Creamy Mushroom Sauce as per recommendation. It was a nice loaf - I think next time I would mix the mushrooms with the chicken mixture, and maybe use only 1 cup of mushrooms (used about 2 cups now). I serverd it with some... — kolibri Apr 2, 2006

Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Posted by CountryLady  

It was nice but the consistancy was a bit off for me. It didn't thicken at all, and 1 lb of mushrooms made the 1/3 cup of cream disappear to the bottom of the pan. Made it with chicken and mushroom loaf CHICKEN & MUSHROOM LOAF. — kolibri Apr 2, 2006
