Deliciously Different Pasta Salad

Posted by Midwest Maven  

Your description was right, I did love it. This is good stuff. The only thing I did differently was skip the salt, but that's just personal taste. Awesome job! — EmmyDuckie Aug 23, 2009

Easy Cheesy Skillet Scalloped Potatoes With Mushrooms

Posted by Chocolatl  

The flavor in this dish is right on. It tasted great, But, I found the sauce a bit watery, and I'm not really in love with the mushrooms. Since they're a pretty wet ingredient, I think next time I'll try it without the shrooms. Great recipe, and... — EmmyDuckie Aug 23, 2009

Surf and Turf With Dill Sauce and Onionberry Chutney

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by 2Bleu (Bird&Buddha)  

I really loved several things about this recipe. The use of ingredients is creative, unexpected, and just delicious. It's not the kind of dish you'd make often, but it's surprisingly easy for a special occasion dinner. The chutney and the dill... — EmmyDuckie Aug 23, 2009

Pear and Cheese Salad

Posted by Chef PotPie  

I had a sudden craving for these tonight. My grandmother made them regularly when I was a kid, and sometimes, I just need pear salad. Then I thought, 'I wonder if it's on Zaar.' And here it is! These are so, so good. — EmmyDuckie Jul 16, 2009

Chipotle Turkey Taco Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Spongebob Chefpants  

I thought this was a nice recipe, and the presentation is very creative. It reminds me a little of a Frito pie, which I really love. The slaw was amazing, and I have a feeling I'll make that part often. I felt the turkey calabasitas part was a... — EmmyDuckie Jul 15, 2009

Baked Potato Salad - Loaded!

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Nif  

This is really good potato salad. I like that it has traditional potato salad ingredients, like the celery and egg, combined with baked potato toppings. What a neat combination. The only thing I didn't care for was the tomato. It seemed a little... — EmmyDuckie Jul 15, 2009

Shh…don’t Tell Your Man That This is a Salad

Posted by westtextazzy  

This knocked my socks off. I was skeptical at first that a basil and balsamic marinated steak was going to be good with a chipotle ranch dressing, but the combination totally works. The dressing is killer all by itself, and I just loved the... — EmmyDuckie Jul 15, 2009

Bacon Lettuce Tomato (And More) Salad With Blue Cheese Dressing

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Picholine  

I really liked this recipe. The use of the contest ingredients was great, and it tasted really good together. Bacon and tomato are a can't miss combination. My only complaint is that I don't think there's enough onion in it. I ended up adding... — EmmyDuckie Jul 15, 2009

Mucho Gusto Taco Seasoning Mix

Posted by Pot Scrubber  

Great seasoning, Potsie. I really like how the flour and cornstarch thicken the liquid into a sauce that really coats the beef. After I tried it, I made a quadruple batch, just so I always have this stuff around. So much tastier than store bought. — EmmyDuckie Jun 13, 2009

Whiskey Bread and Butter Pudding

Posted by wicked cook 46  

Wonderful bread pudding, and I love that it's in individual servings. My largest oven safe ramekins (8 oz) made a perfect fit, leaving just enough room for a scoop of ice cream. I used a biscuit cutter to make bread rounds instead of cutting into... — EmmyDuckie Jun 13, 2009

Spicy Herbed Summer Gazpacho

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by FloridaNative  

Perfect summer recipe. This one is much lighter on oil than most gazpacho recipes I've tried, which makes it very refreshing, and I love the herbs. I really don't care for clamato, so I subbed it for an extra measure of spicy vegetable juice. I... — EmmyDuckie Jun 13, 2009

Mexican Hot Chocolate Balls

Posted by Michelle Berteig  

Fantastic cookies. They're very delicate, crumbly and intensely chocolatey. I added a pinch of chili powder to the second half of the sugar coating, and I have to say, both batches were excellent, but if you happen to like a little spice with your... — EmmyDuckie Jun 13, 2009

Fruity Ice Cream Salsa

Posted by sarahubasics  

Sheer genius, GastroGnomes. I loved this so much. If you're in doubt about the avocado and jalapeno, don't be, they're wonderful. Cooking the jalapeno in the juice makes the flavor more of a mild warmth than real heat, and the avocado is just rich... — EmmyDuckie Jun 3, 2009

Beef Stew With Mustard Dumplings

Posted by Michelle Berteig  

Ooh, Michelle, this is so good! The stew turns out very rich and velvety, with plenty of wonderful herb flavors, and the mustard in the dumplings is very subtle, but very savory. I only made one small change, and that was that I left out the egg,... — EmmyDuckie Jun 3, 2009

Caramelised Onion & Goats Cheese Omelette

Posted by bluemoon downunder  

There's only one word I can think of for this omelet; sumptuous. The cheese melts ever so slightly, getting a silky texture, the onions are sweet, and go just perfectly with the cheese. I halved the recipe to make an omelet for one, used rosemary... — EmmyDuckie May 30, 2009

Crawfish Etouffee

Very nice. This recipe actually tastes like the etouffee you might get at a little restaurant in New Orleans, which is such a comforting taste of home to me. Every ingredient adds something to the flavor, without anything being overpowered by... — EmmyDuckie May 29, 2009

Totally Tropical Genuine Rum Punch

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

Oh, FT, you've done it again. I don't think there's been a recipe of yours I haven't given 5 stars. I really must peruse your cookbooks more. I love this punch. Sweet, but not overpoweringly so, plenty of fruit flavor, and the ginger ale gives... — EmmyDuckie May 29, 2009

Caribbean Spiced Tuna

Oh, wow. This marinade is unbelievable. I actually tried it on two kinds of fish, as I was cooking for picky eaters. It is equally delicious on tuna or mahi mahi. The cumin comes through very strong, which I find delightful, but someone who... — EmmyDuckie May 29, 2009

Island Rice

Posted by Slatts  

So good! I didn't find the lime flavor too strong at all, so it may just be a matter of personal preference. I added a little grated ginger root, because I had it out for another recipe anyway, but other than that, stayed with it as written. We... — EmmyDuckie May 29, 2009
