Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms

Posted by Normaone  

This is a nice recipe. I did not use the vegetable oil...just used some cooking spray as needed. I used a lot more garlic, which I sauteed in the pan at the beginning. Then I added my mushrooms (closer to 4 cups uncooked, since they cook down),... — Meredith C-ville Nov 4, 2009

Lemon Butter Salmon With Capers and Asparagus

Posted by Mrs. Cavanar  

Great recipe. I actually took a shortcut and just put the sauce ingredients in the pan with the salmon and asparagus. I am not rating because I used green onions for shallots and lime for lemon, skipped the butter entirely, and also did not add... — Meredith C-ville Oct 27, 2009

Wild Mushroom Stroganoff

Posted by I Cook Therefore I Am  

Great recipe. I altered it to be dairy-free. I used small amts of olive oil for butter and just omitted the cream. I also used nutritional yeast rather than parm. I'm sure my version was less creamy and decadent than the original, but it was still... — Meredith C-ville Aug 25, 2009

Refrigerator Dill Pickles

Posted by yogabead  

Tastes just like pickles! My neighbor had given me some dill and some pickling cucumbers from their garden. Since this was a "pickle kit," I couldn't just use them for other things, so I was going to learn to make pickles. I was too busy and... — Meredith C-ville Aug 2, 2009

Paula Deen's Layered Mexican Cornbread

Posted by KITTENCAL  

I made this into sort of a mexican pot pie, by putting a browned mix of onion, peppers, and black beans with spices (mainly garlic, cumin, and chili powder) in the bottom of a 9x13 pan (in future I will also add tomatoes; the beans could be subbed... — Meredith C-ville Feb 18, 2009

Won't You Be My Gyro Chicken Panini

Posted by Vicki in CT  

I made this for a lighter late-night dinner. I used "Recipe 28150" for the chicken and "Recipe 91463" for the tzatziki. Once the chicken was cooked, I cut it up and stirred it together with slices of olive and grape tomato (the only ones with... — Meredith C-ville Feb 17, 2009

Pancho Villa Stew

Posted by weekend cooker  

For ease and flavor, this is hard to beat. I think I made enough changes that a rating may not apply, but we enjoyed this very much. Probably the biggest change was that I just simmered this on the stovetop rather than using a crockpot. I browned... — Meredith C-ville Feb 1, 2009

Pumpkin (Squash), Leek, Bean and Bacon Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Leggy Peggy  

Very nice starting point for a soup. I can attest to the forgiving nature of the recipe. I used 3 large leeks (and even included lots of the darker green parts because they do have nice flavor, the dark green looks great in this soup, and because... — Meredith C-ville Jan 31, 2009

Inside-Out Brussels Sprouts

Posted by Sandi (From CA)  

I think I've made these for the third time now, and am surprised that I have not reviewed the recipe! I have been making them with ground turkey with good results, and I also use oatmeal as a binder and skip the rice. I've been making this work... — Meredith C-ville Jan 26, 2009

Sourdough Focaccia

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Tea Jenny  

Truly EASY! And tasty. I made a half recipe because that was the amount of starter I had available. It makes a nice soft and easy to work with dough. I think mine was a little thinner than 1 inch, and I baked it for just barely 15 minutes at 425.... — Meredith C-ville Jan 26, 2009

A Simple Chicken Satay

Posted by Gerry sans Sanddunes  

Yum! Simple, too. I used one very large chicken breast (cut in thin strips) for this, omitted the oil, and had more onion and garlic, so I'm sure my mixture was much thicker than called for. I put it together late morning, left it in the fridge,... — Meredith C-ville Jan 18, 2009

Chickpea Burger

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chouny  

This is easy and tasty, but mine tried to fall apart, too. I think it's because the carrots give so much liquid. So I would make them by stirring in some oats rather than blending in flour to help bind them. When I cook the other half of what I... — Meredith C-ville Jan 14, 2009

Orange Chipotle Risotto in Rice Cooker or Stove Top

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

I did this with a combination of brown rice and millet. The flavor was good...I usually worry about things being too sweet (as suggested in Elmotoo's review), but I did not find it very sweet at all (although I used lemon zest rather than orange... — Meredith C-ville Jan 12, 2009

Olive-Caper Spread

Posted by Sharon123  

This was tasty, but if you like olives and capers, this was predictable. I used the dried basil and extra black pepper since I did not have the pepper flakes. I didn’t add salt since there is plenty of saltiness already. I also processed... — Meredith C-ville Jan 12, 2009

Basic Sourdough Bread

Posted by Donna M.  

I am making this for the second time now. The first time I got a beautiful loaf that would have been great for sandwiches (but didn't stick around long enough), and this time I made it into two more baguette-style loaves (very wide baguettes). The... — Meredith C-ville Jan 11, 2009

Rice Cooker Mushroom Barley Risotto

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Panthur  

The mushrooms give this a very deep flavor (the umami thing, I guess). I used regular onion rather than shallots, a bit more garlic, and did not have red pepper. I also used just some cooking spray and 1 T olive oil, and at that point threw... — Meredith C-ville Jan 9, 2009

Cheat's Easy Salmon Risotto (Rice Cooker)

Posted by Chickee  

We enjoyed this: for flavor, ease, and healthfulness, it is a great recipe. I used about 2 cups of sliced leeks rather than onion, and 5 cloves of garlic. I used brown rice rather than arborio and reduced the amount of rice slightly to be sure... — Meredith C-ville Jan 7, 2009

Fragrant Moroccan Beef, Date, Honey and Prune Tagine - Crock Pot

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

I made this with 1.4 pounds of cheap stew beef, and used a regular soup pot, and it was wonderful (esp on a chilly night). I made up some extra volume with some roughly chopped broccoli stalks (whose florets went elsewhere). I used a 14-oz can of... — Meredith C-ville Dec 3, 2008

Yogurt Cheese (Labneh)

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

I did this with fat-free American yogurt. I had not heard of adding the salt either, but I agree that it is a great addition. I let mine drain for about 24 hours and from 3 cups of yogurt I got about 1 cup of yogurt cheese and about 1.75 cups of... — Meredith C-ville Dec 2, 2008

Showy " Jelly Roll" Meatloaf

Posted by J. Ko  

This was great. I was afraid it would all fall apart or turn into mush, but it's one of the best meatloaves I've made. I only used a pound of ground meat (turkey; and reduced other liquids accordingly), but used the full amount of spinach and... — Meredith C-ville Nov 11, 2008
