Creamy Rice With Peas and Herbs

Posted by Boomette  

We had this with guests and enjoyed it very much! An easy side dish that tasted more complex than the sum of its parts! I left out the mint, but everything else was followed exactly! Thanks Boomette, another keeper! — DeeCooks Aug 10, 2009

Mexican- Meatball Salsa Soup

Posted by weekend cooker  

For ease and healthiness...wow! I had turkey meatballs I'd made in the freezer and pumped up some jarred salsa with a bit of leftover homemade and it was just so good and easy. I added a lot of cilantro and served with flour tortillas and what a... — DeeCooks Jul 30, 2009

No-Beat Popovers

Posted by LAURIE  

I just don't know why, after all these great reviews, mine were terrible. I have a popover pan, followed the directions, and got dense, overly brown lumps. I have yet to find a good popover recipe...and I'm really trying! I wish this had worked! — DeeCooks Feb 7, 2009

Garlic Top Sirloin Pot Roast

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jane' Burch  

A friend of mine had a top sirloin roast and didn't know how to cook it. Unfortunately, she chose this recipe--why waste a perfectly great cut of meat to slow cook!!! A sirloin roast can be ROASTED and will retain more flavor and tenderness than... — DeeCooks Jan 4, 2009

Creamy Salsa

Posted by Rennug  

I'm no health nut, but this tastes like sweet grease...reminiscent of a bad 1000 Island dressing. Thank goodness I tasted before I served, because I ended up just having to toss it. I think an easier "creamy" salsa is to mix equal parts sour... — DeeCooks Sep 26, 2008

Lentil Soup for People Who Thought They Hated Lentils! - Meat Op

Posted by Caithi Romeo  

We live for soup in the winter, LOVE lentils, but this only alienated my lentil-wary friends because it was basically mush. The texture was just too much like ....well, mush. The ingredients are fine, though I added several extra garlic cloves,... — DeeCooks Sep 23, 2008

Traditional Egg and Bacon Pie - or What You Will!

Posted by bluemoon downunder  

A nice change from the usual quiche! I might prebake the crust a bit next time so I can cook the eggs a bit less to get some runnier yolk (personal preference) but this was just yum. I had to look up "tasty cheese" and found it was just a hard... — DeeCooks Sep 23, 2008

Calavo Avocado Fiesta Salsa

Posted by LARavenscroft  

Very good, but I think we would have liked it better without the black beans (just a texture thing) and with fresh or frozen corn rather than canned...it added a strange flavor with all that freshness!!! Otherwise, I'll definitely be trying this... — DeeCooks Sep 6, 2008

Rosemary Zucchini Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Boomette  

I made as stated, and it was a great way to use up some of that zucchini! We'd have rated 5 stars but it seemed something missing that I just couldn't put my finger on....a bit more depth of flavor maybe? I want to try it again and grill the... — DeeCooks Aug 29, 2008

Crystal's Bacon Avocado Sandwich

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Texas Aggie Mom  

This is a no-brainer--my favorite ingredients, perfect proportions, and since I keep cooked bacon in the freezer, it's an easy lunch or dinner. And, yep, it's nice and messy! I made it again the next day with toasted bread and actually like that... — DeeCooks Aug 17, 2008

Deviled Crab Bites

Posted by mersaydees  

This was very good! I think next time I would use less Dijon and more mayo, but there were no complaints here! We ate half with cukes, and DH scooped the rest with crackers. — DeeCooks Aug 17, 2008

Tomato Chutney

Posted by **Mandy**  

What I ended up with was quite good, but I had no idea what mixed spices to use...so I winged it with some other chutney recipes. I made one cup because I don't can, but I'm sure it will be gone before the week is over! Yummy! — DeeCooks Aug 13, 2008

Perfect proportions of ingredients! Usually when I make a salad like this I just ad-lib everything--this was great to be able to follow. I love mint with salads like this, and I didn't even need to add more garlic Simple, and perfect! — DeeCooks Aug 8, 2008

Avocado With Alfalfa

Four and a half if I could! I liked this salad, because I LOVE all the ingredients. The recipe doesn't say where the balsamic goes in, but I whisked it with the olive oil before tossing with the other ingredients. I think something more... — DeeCooks Aug 6, 2008
