sea scallops

Posted by chia  

My husband took one bite and announced that this was one of the best dinners I have made. Since I had no orange juice, I used pineapple juice. Next time, and there will be many next times, I want to try the orange juice to see the difference. The... — ellison52 Jun 1, 2009

Pork Vindaloo

Posted by Angela2  

So GOOD! Things omitted: cinnamon, serrano peppers, light cream. No cream because of our waists. No cinnamon or peppers because I didn't have any. I did saute the garlic with the onions as suggested by others. While simmering, the liquid seemed to... — ellison52 Feb 23, 2009

Beef Fajitas

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Karen From Colorado  

A good basic start to a simple recipe! I had all the ingredients on hand and didn't have to make a special trip to the store. Since we like things spicy, I used 2 T cumin and 1T chili powder. Since we are watching our waists, we didn't use... — ellison52 Feb 20, 2009

Spring Chicken and Asparagus

Posted by acerast  

I cut the recipe to two servings and reduced the amount of oil since my husband and I are both watching our waistlines! I used salt substitute instead of salt. This is a real husband pleaser! He loved it, said it filled him up and tasted great.... — ellison52 Feb 8, 2009

Edamame Salad

Posted by dawnie2u  

A real Husband pleaser! So pretty and fresh! I reduced the olive oil in the dressing to only 1 tablespoon to cut a few calories. The lemon and mustard dressing contrasted with the sweetness of the corn and just made my tastebuds tingle! So Yummy! — ellison52 Jan 28, 2009

Very Good!!! Another recipe to add to the monthly menus. The tomatoes added such a zip to the green beads! I added onion and used chopped garlic since Husband likes onion and I like fresh garlic. Thanks so much! — ellison52 Jan 27, 2009

Turkey Chowder

Posted by Tonkcats  

Just TOO good. Husband loved it. Since I don't know what bouquet garni is, I omitted it. Also omitted the boiled eggs in case I needed to freeze it. After adding a couple of tsp of salt substitute, this was so so GOOD! Not having access to fresh... — ellison52 Jan 26, 2009

Lemon Sprouts

Posted by Jen T  

My husband and I loved this recipe. We didn't have a lemon so we used bottled lemon juice and doubled the amount. We also sauted some chopped onion to add a little more flavor. Thanks for the great recipe! — ellison52 Jan 26, 2009

Brined and Roasted Thanksgiving Turkey With Simple Gravy

Posted by Alan in SW Florida  

This was my first time to cook a turkey and it came out great! I loved the low cal natural gravy too. Instead of tossing the giblets, I added them to soup made with the turkey carcass. Didn't have fresh herbs so I just threw in small handfuls of... — ellison52 Jan 26, 2009

Waldorf Turkey

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

This is a great salad for left over Turkey! I omitted the yogurt and doubled the mayo (used low cal). I wasn't real keen on the nutmeg flavor and will probably omit it next time but overall, this is a keeper recipe! — ellison52 Jan 23, 2009

Although I didn't have mango powder, green chili pepper or cumin and coriander seeds, I did used cumin and coriander powder. And since I don't love hot peppers as he did, I only used three. It turned out TERRIFIC! Husband Jeff loved it and wants... — ellison52 Oct 17, 2008

Bombay Kidney Beans

Of course, I had to take a perfectly good vegetarian dish and add cubed chicken to please my meat eater husband. Added 1/8 tsp hot red pepper, an extra tsp of cumin, 1/2 tsp of coriander and a 1/2 tsp of garam masala to make it a little spicer.... — ellison52 Sep 12, 2008

I make this at least once a week now. I use lots more cucumbers than the recipe says and regular tomatoes because that's what I grow. My husband loves this. — ellison52 Jul 20, 2008

Baked Mushroom and Scallops

Posted by spatchcock  

While I tend to like things a little more spicy, my husband loved this recipe! Since we live in Japan, I had to use sticky rice since I didn't have long grain or even regular white rice. I will definately make this again! — ellison52 Jul 5, 2008

Fish Marinade for People Who Hate Fish

Posted by PookeyLumLum  

This marinade was absolutely fool proof. The fish was incredibly tasty, the lemon and garlic played off each other to enhance the flavor of an otherwise tasteless fish. Delicious! — ellison52 Jun 13, 2008

Meatloaf

Posted by Miss Mindy #2  

Since we are living in Japan for the time being, every now and then we need some comfort food from home. I left out the pork and worcestershire sauce, used Japanese BBQ sauce and it came out GREAT! Will definately make this again! — ellison52 Nov 10, 2007
