Old Fashioned Slow Cooker Rice Pudding

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by appleydapply  

This is one fantastic rice pudding! As did the others, I loved the ease with which this can be prepared. Rice pudding is one of my family's favorites and with this convenient recipe I'll be making it a lot more. I used all of the sugar, and 2... — TasteTester Oct 11, 2009

Sauteed Asparagus With Curried Tofu and Tomatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef Edlear  

I wish I'd made a double batch of this! The tofu cubes were perfectly seasoned, with a nice crunchy exterior and tender inside. I used thin asparagus stalks so they would cook quicker to avoid the chance of the onions and garlic getting too... — TasteTester Sep 23, 2009

Daikon Pickles - #2

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef Edlear  

These are so good that I can't keep my hands away from them. (In fact, I'm crunching on a few as a write this review.) I was looking forward to making these since I'd never had a daikon radish before. It has a milder flavor than a red radish,... — TasteTester Sep 21, 2009

Rice With Pigeon Peas - Arroz Con Gandules

Posted by 1PugMom2  

We enjoyed this delicious change from our regular white rice side dish. It was almost a meal in itself with the ham, peas, etc., and next time I'll use more of the ham and prepare it as an entree. I added some sauteed onion to the dish, and will... — TasteTester Sep 21, 2009

Pear Crumble Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef Edlear  

This is the best pie I've had in years. It's the first time anyone in our family had a pear pie, and what a taste treat. The pear slices didn't get mushy as some fruits can when cooked in a pie. And we loved the custard filling. I'm not a fan of... — TasteTester Sep 21, 2009

Apple and Raspberry Crisp

Posted by mums the word  

This recipe is outstanding!! It's the best fruit crisp I've ever tasted — it is not overpowered with a lot of added sugar, so you can taste the slight tang of the Gala apples I used, and the fresh taste of both the raspberries and apples. I... — TasteTester Sep 19, 2009

Champagne Style Chicken

Posted by Deantini  

This was a delicious way to serve chicken; the sauce was so sinfully rich and creamy & especially tasty with the mushroom pieces. I used white grape juice instead of white wine, but other than that made it exactly as written. The only change... — TasteTester Sep 19, 2009

Potato Casserole / Mashed Potatoes

Posted by Deantini  

What a delicious potato casserole!! So creamy, and I love the addition of the cream cheese. I whipped the potatoes really good so they were nice and fluffy, and added a sprinkling of garlic powder to the potato mixture. They came out perfectly... — TasteTester Sep 19, 2009

Asparagus Soup With Mini Meatballs

Posted by Deantini  

We absolutely loved this soup!! It is so full of flavor and easy to make. The meatballs did take a little bit of time to form, but I didn't mind — it's one of those repetitive tasks that lets you talk with someone or think about other things... — TasteTester Sep 19, 2009

Plantains in Coconut Milk

Posted by Elmotoo  

This was my first time trying plantains and they were really delicious. My store only had green plantains, so I put them on the counter to ripen. After 4 days, they were yellow/black and soft to the touch. The coconut milk blended perfectly... — TasteTester Sep 15, 2009

Sweet and Spicy Glazed Pork Cubes

Posted by Judedeva  

What wonderful flavors! I only had to simmer the pork cubes for 25 minutes, but that might be due to the size of the cubes. I loved the combination of lime juice, brown sugar and peppers. Next time, I'm going to use two jalapenos and more lime... — TasteTester Sep 15, 2009

Pollo Al Ajillo

Posted by Elmotoo  

This is our newest favorite chicken recipe. I was wondering if the garlic would be overpowering in this dish, but it was not. I was also pleasantly suprised to find that browning the chicken first and then braising it with a little liquid (I... — TasteTester Sep 14, 2009

Yellow Squash Saute

Posted by greyghost  

This was fantastic! I used 3 squashes and cooked them in batches, keeping the cooked ones warm. I cooked the onions on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes so they would carmelize a little, and then added the squash, garlic salt and pepper.... — TasteTester Sep 14, 2009

Cookies and Cream Scones

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by 1PugMom2  

These were a real hit in our house. The scone dough was just delicious and not overly sweet, with a nice, chewy texture. Of course, everyone loved the chopped Oreos and they were a treat all throughout the scones. DH and my son love 10x glaze,... — TasteTester Sep 14, 2009

Stuffed Potato Balls ( Papas Rellenas )

Posted by 1PugMom2  

The flavors in this dish are really great. I'd never used sofrito before and it gave the meat filling such a tangy flavor. There was some of the beef filling left over, and everyone wanted me to give it to them! The only problem I had was with... — TasteTester Sep 13, 2009

Green Beans With Zucchini and Bacon

This has a great combination of flavors and we loved the different textures of the cooked bacon, beans and zucchini. I added a dash of garlic powder, and when I make this again I'll use 2 teaspoons of bacon fat and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil.... — TasteTester Sep 13, 2009

Triscuit Nachos

These were really great! They had a nice crispy bite to them and were a nice change from cheese and nacho chips. When making them, I used up some produce in the fridge — I sprinkled a little chopped green onions, finger peppers and scotch... — TasteTester Sep 12, 2009

Banana Custard Smoothie

Posted by **Mandy**  

I made this as an after-school snack for my son and he loved it! It's a great way to use bananas that are a little too ripe for eating out-of-hand. What made this recipe really stand out, though, was the addition of the egg custard. It provided... — TasteTester Sep 11, 2009

Herb Crusted Tofu With Mushroom Gravy

Posted by Sharon123  

This is a great recipe for frying tofu — it stayed nice and firm, but I cooked it for 4 minutes over high heat and it came out with a dark crust. I lowered the heat to about medium/medium-high and cooked the other side for 4 minutes. That side... — TasteTester Sep 11, 2009

Mango Chow

This was a fantastic combination of sweet mango and peppery spice. It has a sweet taste when you initially eat it, and then the peppery taste kicks in, making it a perfect choice for dessert whether you have something rich in taste or very savory... — TasteTester Sep 11, 2009
