Quinoa Greek Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Fluffy  

There was no Quinoa in my supermarket, but I used two "Near East brand Tabouleh Salad" mixes in a box. Great recipe, very fresh and cool on a warm evening, thank you! — Gillian Spence Sep 29, 2009

Gyros - an Authentic Recipe for Making Them at Home

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by steve in FL  

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This has to be the best recipe I've gotten from Zaar (this followed closely with #87782 and #73825). My husband must have said at least 10 times how much he loved them. I never admitted to him there was lamb in them, and he... — Gillian Spence Sep 29, 2009

Hamburgers

Posted by Vicky Bryant  

Delicious burgers! The horseradish and garlic gave such a nice flavor; I don't think you would know it was there unless you were told. It was just tasty and savory. Everyone loved them, this recipe is a keeper!! — Gillian Spence Aug 11, 2009

Creamy Potato Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Karen From Colorado  

I will never make another potato salad other than this one again. I didn't have bacon and mixed the eggs in. FANTASTIC! This is why I joined Zaar, right here. — Gillian Spence May 22, 2009

Texas Sheet Cake

Posted by Marcia Hatfield  

It was very good, but I wasn't expecting it to be so thin! At finish it was around 3/4 inch thick, 1" with frosting. It was like a cross between a brownie and a cake, really. The walnuts are what makes this cake! All in all it was very tasty. — Gillian Spence May 2, 2009

Grilled Moroccan Chicken

Very nice flavour! I liked the cilantro, garlic and turmeric marinade. We made it with Summertime Grilled Onions #32253 and South Beach Cheesecake #81586 for a great low-carb dinner. — Gillian Spence Apr 23, 2009

Twice Baked Potato Casserole

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

The casserole was good, if I made it again the only changes I might make would be to cut the potatoes into smaller bits and to add something to make it more 'moist.' Maybe some milk? It was very tasty, just a bit more dry than a twice baked potato. — Gillian Spence Apr 18, 2009

Why-I-Joined-Zaar Carrot Cake

I have never had such a reception as I did when I made this cake. My family went ape! I took the leftovers to work today and the staff devoured it in minutes. People were cutting off pieces to hide for later. A receptionist offered to pay me... — Gillian Spence Apr 18, 2009

Puff Pastry Pinwheel Cookies With Jam

These were great!! Don't skimp on the butter put on the baking sheet though, the jelly that drips off will clean off a lot easier. Very impressive and tasty treat that was so easy to make. — Gillian Spence Mar 29, 2009

Meatloaf

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Rosemary Chapman  

This was an excellent meatloaf!! The only criticism I have of it is that the onions either need to be finely chopped or saute'd first because they were a bit uncooked ( chopped them into 1/4 to 1/3 inch pieces. My family all raved over the... — Gillian Spence Mar 27, 2009

P. F. Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Good recipe, the sauce was very thin and messy! Next time I might try thickening with some cornstarch before the cool down phase. Otherwise it was VERY tasty and my DH loved it. — Gillian Spence Jan 10, 2009
