Corn Chowder

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jeff Hixson  

Added 4 green onions for colour and flavour. EXCELLENT. Used 4 ears, and this makes about 4 quarts. If you don't have cream, try sour cream. Added a little tang and body. — Lauren4372 Aug 28, 2009

Giada's Chicken in Lemon Cream and Penne

Posted by Kace83  

I made this just as written, but it turned out oily and greasy. The flavour is excellent, never used Herbs de Provence before. Next time, just brown the chicken without the oil in a nonstick pan. Serve with a salad and whatever fresh veggies... — Lauren4372 Aug 7, 2009

Czech-Style Farmer Cheese, Bacon & Noodle Bake

Posted by twissis  

While the bacon obvously keeps this from the Kosher kitchen of my Bubby, it does remind me of her Kugel. I don't know that it makes a difference, but I added a cup of fresh peas and cooked cubed chicken to replace the bacon and reduce some of the... — Lauren4372 Jul 29, 2009

Gourmet Magazine's Asian Cucumber Ribbon Salad

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by blucoat  

I made this as a fast salad for supper tonight. Since it was just me, I cut everything in half and didn't cook the dressing. Just put everything (except the cucumbers) in a small jar and shake well. Tossed it and let stand. ENJOY! PS. Add a... — Lauren4372 Jul 5, 2009

Red, White, and Blue Jello Flag

Posted by KCShell  

I used vanilla ice cream in place of the whipped topping and it really adds depth. For other holidays or special events use other colours. — Lauren4372 Jul 3, 2009

Chamorro Bistek

Posted by ChamoritaMomma  

UPDATE: Made it again for 4 people, and it was perfect. I love Chamorro food, and this is it. Used 1/2 tsp garlic powder instead of cloves, but that is personal choice. I tried this as a single service dish, cutting the ingredients by a... — Lauren4372 Jun 28, 2009

Creamy Shrimp & Tortellini Salad

Posted by redwine  

I made this with an extra half teaspoon of dehydrated veggie flakes for colour and flavour. It was still a little too mayonnaise-y. Next time reduce the sauces to third cup and forget the extra salt. **UPDATE** I tried it again with refrigerated... — Lauren4372 Jun 18, 2009

Mango and Lime Sorbet

Posted by justcallmetoni  

This is a easy light desert for the summer or any time. Use 2 cups of frozen mangos during the winter for a taste of summer and the islands! I used 6 packets of Splenda and 2 fresh mangos. Serve with a shortbread or fresh strawberry sorbet... — Lauren4372 Jun 14, 2009

Makeover Strawberry Pretzel Dessert

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Audrey M  

I had to come up with a desert for a potluck and this is a WINNER! To fit it in my cooler I used a 5X9 plastic container. I cut the pretzel crust in half but it was still too thick and a little heavy. I did use the full cheese filling and all... — Lauren4372 May 24, 2009

Haricots Verts, Red Potato and Cucumber Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by pattikay in L.A.  

This is great! I took it to a picnic/ potluck and there wasn't a bit left. I used a teaspoon of dried dill, and with fresh dill it would be a 8 star! Couldn't find an English Cucumber so used a regular one and sliced it on a mandoline. If you... — Lauren4372 May 24, 2009

Extra Moist Cornbread with Sour Cream

Posted by Stewie  

VERY easy and tastey. I would have prefered a slightly sweeter cornbread, hence the 4 stars. Next time I am adding either 1/4 cup of sugar or honey. Excellent texture. — Lauren4372 Apr 5, 2009

Cherry Sandwich Maker Snack

Posted by Traci Evans  

We used to do this when I was a Girl Scout over a campfire. No electric sandwich makers out in the woods, the butter goes against the grill, and you can use any kind of filling. Try it with apple or cheese next time. — Lauren4372 Mar 19, 2009

Smoked Gouda Risotto

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Galley Wench  

I cut this down to one serving, and that may have been my mistake. The falvour was WONDERFUL, but either I didn't take long enough to cook the rice, or because the pan was large the moisture evaperated too soon, in either case, the rice was not al... — Lauren4372 Mar 15, 2009

Roast Pork Tenderloin

Posted by Luby Luby Luby  

I made this with a one pound tenderloin for the two of us. Cut all the marinade in half, and did let it sit almost 12 hours. The result was a VERY tender roast but rather dry and I felt somewhat over powered by the thyme and marjorum. May help... — Lauren4372 Mar 14, 2009

30 Minute Smoked Sausage and Corn Chowder

Posted by Libby1  

Great easy meal for a weeknight. Instead of the canned corn and broth I used a box of the Campbell's Southwest Corn Chowder and added about 3/4 cup of frozen corn. Left out the potatoes and served it with some baked risotto and a salad. I did... — Lauren4372 Mar 6, 2009

Crisp Lemon Sugar Cookies

A good but not great cookie. I was hoping for more lemon flavour, and this just didn't do it. I did use all butter rather then the shortening, but it was still tough. — Lauren4372 Feb 24, 2009

Oriental Mini Meatloaves With Honey Garlic Sauce

OH MY GOODNESS! Pam you have a winner here. I made this for the 2 of us and it is the biggest hit yet. I did change it just slightly to fit our tastes and what was in the house. Used panko rather then breadcrumbs and low fat sour cream in... — Lauren4372 Feb 8, 2009

Crisp Panko Chicken Cutlets w/Tonkatsu Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Ridgely  

I made this tonight for dinner, and was a little disapponinted. The Chicken was WONDERFUL moist and love the crunchy panko. However the sauce was too salty and strong for my taste. To be fair, I was out of ketchup so used a little BBQ sauce,... — Lauren4372 Dec 21, 2008

Blueberry Muffins

Very very good and moist. I didn't have any milk in the house so I substituted 6oz of Strawberry Yogert. Excellent choice, mixed the berry flavours, and added even more moisture. For the topping I used Sugar in the Raw to try and duplicate... — Lauren4372 Aug 16, 2008

Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Posted by Lorac  

WONDERFUL! I do have a couple of additions, used a tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning (for my taste) and used a teaspoon of fresh chopped ginger too. Like others, I don't like the tomatoes, so I used red peppers, and instead of linguine I used... — Lauren4372 Aug 13, 2008
