Ginger Glazed Shrimp

Posted by kitchenslave03  

I read Allybee Z's review and agree that RR's recipe would be a little bland, so I followed Allybee's advice. I heated the oil, stir-fried some bell peppers, then followed the RR recipe. At the end I added about 1/2 t. chili flakes. Next... — WhoKnew? Nov 5, 2009

Homemade Yogurt

Posted by Dee514  

It worked! It worked! Yay! It worked! I heated the milk to a very tiny bubble & then removed from the heat. I let it cool until I could touch it without it being too hot. Added about 2T of starter (store-bought)--let sit out for 4 hours & it... — WhoKnew? Nov 5, 2009

Pumpkin Puree in the Crock-Pot

Posted by Kate J  

SO SO SO happy to find this recipe (and glad I decided to look for it just a day later than I'd intended, or I'd have missed it!). Can't wait to try this in my crockpot, as my stove's on the fritz and the crock's just about the only thing working... — WhoKnew? Oct 20, 2009

Favorite Bake-off Banana Wheat Quick Bread

Posted by Chris from Kansas  

Really delicious, not overly sweet, and no one would guess that it's pretty low-fat/healthy to boot! I doubled the recipe but instead of adding 3 total cups of bananas, I did 2 1/2c bananas + 1/2c mango (and thus omitted the OJ & lemon juice).... — WhoKnew? May 9, 2009

Avocado, Banana and Mango Muffins

Posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen  

Amazing muffins. A friend gave me 5lbs of bananas & 2 large avocados--this recipe was a good fit & doubled nicely. I didn't let my bananas get ripe enough so the predominant flavor in mine is mango but that works well here in our tropical... — WhoKnew? May 7, 2009

Cake Mix Cookies

Posted by Loretta in Louisiana  

Lifesaving (and time-saving!) cookies. I decided to bake last-minute but couldn't face the hassle of mixing & measuring my favorite recipe. Found this on Zaar and happened to have a lemon cake mix in my pantry (no idea why--not a typical thing in... — WhoKnew? May 3, 2009

Graham-cracker Crust (microwave)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by PaulaG  

Made a very good crust for a last-minute recipe. I will use this regularly, especially now that it's way too hot to get my oven going. This worked well with Marie biscuits/cookies (in lieu of graham crackers, which I could not lay my hands on). — WhoKnew? Apr 27, 2009

Cabbage for Those Who Dislike Cabbage

Posted by Lennie  

I thought this was wonderful but my husband thought it needed some more zip. We compromised at a 4 (but I secretly would give this 5 big stars & eat it once a week!). I added extra garlic but will try with onion next time. I served this with... — WhoKnew? Dec 11, 2008

Mrs. Seiko's Fried Rice

Posted by SweetsLady  

For some reason this didn't work for me, which leads me to believe I did something wrong. My rice became the consistency of wallpaper paste, and the flavor wasn't great. Will try again and vary some conditions--let's see if that helps. — WhoKnew? Dec 2, 2008

Japanese Mum's Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by JustJanS  

Very nice dish--I didn't wait long enough for the glaze to thicken properly (and my husband is a 'sauce' guy) so we had the sauce served over the chicken & some wild rice. Would have been great if I had time to make some broccoli as well (next... — WhoKnew? Nov 25, 2008

Rotisserie Style Chicken in the Crock Pot

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by internetnut  

This was AMAZING--I never have that great of luck with chicken but this turned out wonderfully (with VERY little work!). I read some other recipes, & based on that, I rolled some foil balls & put them in the bottom of the crockpot to keep the... — WhoKnew? Nov 16, 2008

Shepherds Pie (Eurasian Style)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Malaysian`Chef  

This was REALLY good, even with a few not-so-great substitutions--instant mashed potatoes w/ onion/garlic instead of real, rosemary instead of thyme... This made a really filling and hearty meal, and it earned good reviews from my family! — WhoKnew? Oct 5, 2008

Green Chili Rice

Posted by Karen From Colorado  

Karen this was delicious--Mexican & Indian cuisines are not so far apart, and this was a huge hit at a recent party. The zing of the chilies (I used 3 fresh green ones & 1 fresh red one) plus the other seasonings cooked up into a very flavorful... — WhoKnew? Sep 9, 2008

Costa Rican Jalapeno Pepper Steak

Posted by Ray G  

Very tasty and came together quickly when the steak was pan-fried. I think that a little bit of garlic and maybe sun-dried tomatoes would be delicious, though, perhaps, not necessarily very 'Costa Rican'! — WhoKnew? Aug 14, 2008

Szechuan Noodles With Spicy Beef Sauce

Posted by Sharon123  

We loved this. I added lots of bok choy & next time will also add mushrooms. Very spicy and very good. Added slightly less hoisin sauce as it can be overpowering. Update: I make this at least 3 times a month because my husband loves it so much.... — WhoKnew? Mar 27, 2008

My Dill Dip

Posted by KimmieOH  

Tasty dip--after reading other reviews, I added just one tsp of seasoning salt, a little less onion, and a bit of garlic, but it was still a bit salty. Used a mixture of mayo, yogurt, & sour cream (what I had on hand). Creamy and... — WhoKnew? Mar 22, 2008

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
