Tomato Bruschetta

Posted by Cynna  

I have always loved bruschetta. This version certainly hit the bill. I used a beautiful sourdough straight out of the oven from the bread bakery just up the street. I also used really fresh mozzarella, which can be a challenge to grate, so I... — pinkpeppercorns Oct 13, 2009

Emeril's Creamed Spinach

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Mysterygirl  

Serves 8. Well, this is a little embarrassing, but it's said that honesty is the best policy. I made said 8 servings and single-handedly ate them all by myself in one sitting. Nap time. Trouble is, I have the makings for another serving of 8... — pinkpeppercorns Sep 30, 2009

Celery Cream Soup

Posted by Lorac  

I'm afraid I didn't love this as much as other reviewers. I found it quite bland. I wish I knew how I could have made it more flavorful. I'm not yet an experienced enough cook to know what herbs or spices could have been added. — pinkpeppercorns Jul 7, 2009

Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry

Posted by DiB's  

Scrumptious! I used flank steak cut against the grain (easier to cut if it's frozen a bit first). I used only about a quarter teaspoon of sugar in the marinade. (My finicky neighbor pal who dines here often says beef and sugar never belong in... — pinkpeppercorns Jun 11, 2009

Peel and Eat Shrimp With Spicy Cocktail Sauce

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Kozmic Blues  

I was not raised on seafood. I have yet--at least until now--to acquire a taste for it. I try to suffer through an occasional fish or shrimp dish because they're supposed to be good for you. The only way I've ever been able to stomach shrimp is... — pinkpeppercorns Feb 19, 2009

Spinach Garlic Soup

Posted by MissPenny  

This is a very good (and good-for-you) soup. I frequently have my neighbor over for dinner. I had one bowl of the soup, and he polished off the entire rest of it! I thought it could use a little more flavor, but I wasn't sure what sort of spice... — pinkpeppercorns Jan 18, 2009

Potato Salad

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

I like a good no-frills potato salad. This fit the bill splendidly. I used sliced celery in lieu of the celery seed. My neighbor pal eats over here almost every night, so I left out the relish in one bowlful for him while adding it to mine. We... — pinkpeppercorns Nov 20, 2008

Fresh Salmon And Lime Cakes

Posted by KitchenManiac  

These are so very good! I've made them a good many times. The first time I made them, I used canned tuna, not having salmon on hand. When I did try it with salmon, it was also canned. I preferred it with the tuna, although that might be... — pinkpeppercorns Oct 26, 2008

Mock Hollandaise Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Margi  

This was okay. It tasted way too much like like a medium- to thick-roux to me. Not quite what I've been searching for, but thanks for posting it, anyway. It never hurts to try something new. — pinkpeppercorns Oct 14, 2008

Roast "Sticky" Chicken

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by C Chatwin  

Oh me, oh my, this turns out fabulous chicken! I used smoked paprika. Very nice. Wondering if I might want to adjust the spices, I dipped my finger in the mix to sample it. Ahh chaw chaw, it was HOT. I very nearly tossed it to remix it using... — pinkpeppercorns Jul 13, 2008

Spiced Sweet Roasted Red Pepper & feta Hummus

Posted by 1Steve  

Boy, is this ever good! I made it as is (I did roast my own peppers, however) and, what I didn't eat straight from the bowl by the spoonfuls, I combined with avocado and greens and stuffed in a tandoori naan. Yum, yum, yum! — pinkpeppercorns Jun 13, 2008

The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jill4man  

I made this chicken tortilla soup, and I'm surprised I didn't single-handedly eat every last drop in one sitting. Delish! I used only half the jalapeno (I'm a heat wimp), I didn't use the chipotle pepper (didn't have any) and, instead of Tabasco,... — pinkpeppercorns Jun 6, 2008

Easy Summer Cucumbers

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by LorenLou  

Can we say "addictive?" I was tapping my fingers waiting for at least an hour to pass so I could devour them. Two things I have to note: (1) I saw someone's comment that they were a bit sweet, so I didn't add the whole 1/4 cup of sugar.... — pinkpeppercorns Jun 3, 2008

Feta Cheese, Kale & Red Onions

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

While I found this to be very good, I thought it could use a bit of "tangy"--some freshly squeezed lemon juice perhaps. (I wish I had had some on hand so I could have tried it.) I steamed the kale rather than blanching it. I also added a... — pinkpeppercorns Jun 1, 2008

Brussels Sprouts With Almonds and Lemon Rind

Posted by Big Tastebuds, Tiny Kitchen  

I came to RecipeZaar to look up a previously used brussel sprout recipe. I came across this one before locating the previously used one. I am so glad to have come across it. Delicious! I just eyeballed the ingredients, as I only had a couple... — pinkpeppercorns Mar 29, 2008

(Shrimp) Cocktail Sauce

Posted by Darlene Summers  

Yet another rave review. This is way better than any bottled cocktail sauce. I upped the heat with close to 3 tablespoons of horseradish. Another reviewer mentioned adding garlic, which I will definitely try with the next batch. Yum! — pinkpeppercorns Mar 23, 2008

Herbed Balsamic Chicken Breasts

Scrumptious! I had my neighbor over for dinner. He asked where this recipe was from. I told him I found it online. He asked if I was able to comment on it. I told him that, yes, I could leave a review. He pretty much demanded that I go leave... — pinkpeppercorns Mar 2, 2008

Mango Curry Chicken Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by *Parsley*  

Can we say, "Heaven in a spoonful?" Yum. I was unable to let this chill an hour before consuming a big portion of it. I had had a mango curry chicken salad from the Whole Foods deli. It was outrageously good. Next time I went to Whole... — pinkpeppercorns Feb 8, 2008

Cajun Style Oven Fries

The spice mix was awesomely good. I'd just like to find a way to crisp them up a bit. Broiling them only burned them. — pinkpeppercorns Feb 7, 2008
