Peruvian Quinoa

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef*Lee  

Really delicious! Great flavors. I found this recipe last-minute as I was preparing dinner and wanted to have quinoa. The only change I made was I used canned butter beans, and the sun-dried tomatoes were marinated (ingredients I had on hand).... — Divaconviva Nov 15, 2008

Gretchen's Brussels Sprouts

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mary Gibson  

Four ingredients equals fabulous flavor! And this is pretty straightforward to make. I doubled the recipe for a large dinner party. So that did double both prep and cooking time, but well worth it. It's really an easy recipe. I trimmed the stem... — Divaconviva Nov 7, 2008

Rosy Cucumber Dressing

Posted by pesce_gurl  

Another good one! Four ingredients, and with things I always have on hand. This tastes a bit like a Russian or Thousand Island dressing, only a little snappier from the onion and chili sauce. I thought it tasted very good as soon as I mixed it,... — Divaconviva Oct 11, 2008

Buttermilk Pepper Dressing

Posted by pesce_gurl  

We loved this! Easy to make. I grated the garlic clove into the dressing which gave every spoonful an enjoyable little garlic bite. A whisk made it easy to blend the ingredients nice 'n smooth. Made for PAC Fall 2008. Thanks for posting a... — Divaconviva Oct 8, 2008

Easy Authentic Mexican Rice

Posted by Chef Mandy in Newport Beach  

This was very nice! It uses ingredients I always have on hand; however, I found it took closer to 45 minutes to make. I used a large, non-stick skillet. Just browning the 2 cups of rice at medium-high heat so as not to burn took almost 15 minutes.... — Divaconviva Sep 25, 2008

5-Minute Mug Chocolate Cake

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by lil'chef_3  

VERY nice - not to mention very fun! I don't use my microwave too often, but this was a great little recipe. Cooks in 3 minutes! It comes out like a brownie or brownie-cookie bar. It's really large enough to share. DH was happy! I included the... — Divaconviva Sep 23, 2008

Salad Taverna

Posted by pesce_gurl  

Wow! Wonderful combo of flavors and textures! And so easy to put together. We enjoyed this salad as our entree along with crusty bread and a bottle of Pinot Noir. I used Hodgson's Mills Veggie Rotini Pasta because there were no spinach noodles of... — Divaconviva Sep 21, 2008

Seafood Gumbo

Posted by pesce_gurl  

This is very quick, very easy to put together, good flavor, and has eye appeal. I see that some Zaar chefs disagree over the definition of 'gumbo', but according to Merriam Webster, gumbo is "a soup thickened with okra pods or file and containing... — Divaconviva Sep 17, 2008

Easy Authentic Guacamole

Posted by Emily Elizabeth  

GREAT Guac! And nice, clear directions. I've been making guacamole for years with fresh garlic, and no onions; but made as written, this recipe is a PERFECT balance of flavors! I used a jalapeno including the seeds, and the heat level was still... — Divaconviva Jul 9, 2008

Light Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing

Posted by LUv 2 BaKE  

Outstanding! So fragrant, and so flavorful! We've already made this a second time, and it tastes equally good with tuna salad and cottage cheese. I'm thinking next time cold cooked chicken and hard cooked eggs - this dressing will taste... — Divaconviva Jul 8, 2008

Salmon With Sweet and Spicy Rub

Posted by cookiedog  

This is 5 stars all the way! So simple, so good! I accidentally grabbed my 1/4 teaspoon measure, so my salt & pepper were doubled, but . . . it tasted great! Declicious! I will definitely make this again. I'm thinking this might also taste... — Divaconviva Jul 5, 2008

Crescent Kolaches With a Kick

Posted by PaulaG  

VERY tasty! Easy to make. I used reduced-fat sausage links, and I used a fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced very thin, retaining the seeds, and I laid two slices inside each kolache. Perfect! I'm thinking for people who don't appreciate heat, a... — Divaconviva Jul 5, 2008

Shrimp Penne Extraordinaire

Posted by jkoch960  

This recipe looked great, because I usually have cooked shrimp in the freezer and all the other ingredients on hand. I think there's a good recipe in here - but not as written. It doesn't say where/when to add the garlic - I assumed w/the... — Divaconviva Jul 4, 2008

Yummy Cheesy Corn

Posted by Sarah in New York  

Nice, easy recipe. I had five ears of corn I needed to use, so I quickly sliced the kernels off the cobs, and threw them right into the butter to fry. I used sea salt & finely ground white pepper. Tasted fabulous! I added 1 cup cheddar, and it... — Divaconviva Jul 2, 2008

Black Beans for a Lazy Day

Simple, and simply delicious! This is my new go-to starch side dish recipe, with ingredients I always have on hand. The cloud of fragrance that rose up when I poured in the canned beans was wonderful. When serving, I topped with dollops of... — Divaconviva Jul 1, 2008

Broccoli Dal Curry

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

We had this tonight, and both my husband and our dinner guest declared this is a definite 5 star recipe. I agree! I followed the recipe just as written. I did end up adding an extra cup of hot broth so there would be enough liquid. We really... — Divaconviva Jun 30, 2008

Chicken Aku Paku

Posted by MarraMamba  

Great flavors! I followed recipe very closely, using lite coconut milk (to reduce fat), and I increased spices all in proportion, and increased green beans to 2 cups. The basil at the end was so fragrant and flavorful! The only negative thing I... — Divaconviva Jun 29, 2008

Fresh Corn Cake With Raspberries

Momma Maglione's Easy Pasta Fagioli

Posted by Emily Elizabeth  

This is a nice & quick recipe for pasta e fagioli. I put in the whole can of white beans with liquid, since the recipe didn't say to drain beans. After tasting, I added one packet of Goya Jambon (ham) bouillon. I've seen pasta fagioli recipes... — Divaconviva Jun 27, 2008

Maple Jack Pork Chops (Crock Pot)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mom2Rose  

Delicious! Straight-forward, really quick to make and quick to cook! Real maple syrup, sour-mash and dijon mustard - great combo of flavors; but I think the great flavor of this dish is in the sauce, so I highly recommend thickening it. In a... — Divaconviva Jun 27, 2008
