Moroccan Chicken

Posted by Happy Hippie  

We enjoyed this healthy, flavourful recipe. I substituted 1 tsp powdered ginger for fresh, and 1 cup crushed tomatoes instead of fresh (just what I had on hand). I garnished it with almonds and served it over rice. This will definitely be made again. — Marina K Nov 15, 2009

Sesame-Ginger Beef and Asparagus Stir-Fry

Posted by Hey Jude  

Thanks for a delicious, week-night recipe! We used shaved beef instead of cutting up sirloin (it was on sale!) and it turned out really well. We meant to add mushrooms, but forgot, so will do that next time. Also, added some garlic powder, but... — Marina K Nov 14, 2009

Soft and Chewy M&m Cookies

Posted by Manda  

I made these for a Hallowe'en party (using only fall colours, of course) and they were generally well-received. I substituted unsalted butter for the shortening and cut back the white sugar a little. I followed the directions and added 1/2 c. of... — Marina K Nov 1, 2009

Ground Beef Tacos

Posted by Ruby15  

I used a slightly modified version of these seasonings: 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp cumin, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp cayenne, and it turned out great. I also just used a whole onion, and no pepper. This is way better than the pre-packaged... — Marina K Oct 26, 2009

Simply Quick Chicken Thigh Cacciatore for Two

Posted by Dancer^  

This is an excellent week-night dinner, and is relatively inexpensive to make. I used 1 lb. of chicken breast, and red wine instead of white. I also chopped up a few fresh mushrooms, since we can't stand canned ones. I used a 24 oz jar of sauce,... — Marina K Oct 21, 2009

Low Fat Cornbread

Posted by -Sylvie-  

Very nice recipe. Made to go along with Black Bean and Chocolate Chili. I used only 2 tbsp of sugar, and substituted fat-free sour cream for the yogurt. I also used "whole-wheat white" flour instead of all-purpose. I baked it for about 17 min and it was a tad dry,... — Marina K Sep 28, 2009

Lemon Bars

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Dancer^  

These were a big hit! They were perfectly lemony, though next time I might reduce the sugar a tad for my tastes. I used the juice and zest of two large lemons. I found 25 minutes was slightly too long to bake the filling, and will check them at 20... — Marina K Sep 28, 2009

Moroccan Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes

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

Thanks for the excellent recipe! We really enjoy sweet potatoes, so this is another healthy and delicious way to dress them up. I couldn't get a hold of dried apricots, so I doubled the amount of raisins instead. I used chickpea liquid and a bit... — Marina K Aug 25, 2009

We enjoyed this healthy and delicious recipe. We tried the following spice combination: 2 tbsp sesame seeds, 1 tsp each coriander and cumin, 1 tsp Mrs. Dash, 1/4 tsp each Accent seasoning and seasoning salt. We increased the garlic to two cloves... — Marina K Jun 9, 2009

Black Bean and Tortilla Bake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by spatchcock  

Thanks for a delicious and healthy recipe! I used two cloves of garlic, a teaspoon of chili powder, and whole wheat instead of corn tortillas. (Note that you'll only need about 6, as they're larger: two for each layer - one whole plus one ripped... — Marina K May 11, 2009

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Posted by Calla Lily  

This is a fantastic (and relatively healthy!) recipe. I made few substitutions: I used low fat cottage cheese and reduced fat mozzarella. I used one medium sized sauted onion instead of the green onion, omitted the bacon, parmesan and olives, and... — Marina K Mar 25, 2009

Bakery Style Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Steve_G  

My boyfriend and I agree that this is an excellent recipe! I used salted butter, so I reduced the added salt to just a pinch. Also, I used semisweet chocolate chunks instead of chips, and found that 1 1/2 cups was a few too many and created... — Marina K Mar 2, 2009

Vegetarian Minestrone Soup

Posted by shezashark  

This soup is both healthy and delicious, though not quite my idea of authentic minestrone. I added 6 cups of water and a cube of vegetable bouillon, but omitted the salt. Next time I might substitute cannellini beans for the black beans and... — Marina K Feb 3, 2009

Apple Crisp

Posted by lucy k.  

Overall this was a great recipe - it was easy to make and had a good blend of flavours. I made a couple of modifications: I put 1/2 c. brown sugar in with the apples (I reserved 3/4 c. for the crumble), along with 2 of the tsps. of cinnamon. For... — Marina K Nov 21, 2008

Black Bean and Chocolate Chili

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kozmic Blues  

We made the chili as directed, and loved it! (Though we left out the cheese on top.) It is a nice change from the traditional kidney bean-based chilis that are out there... We'll definitely double the recipe next time, as it made 3-4 servings.... — Marina K Nov 9, 2008

Curried Chickpeas & Kale

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Dancer^  

We very much enjoy this recipe and it has become a staple in our house. We don't have slow cooker, so we prepare it as follows: saute the onion and chopped kale stems in oil until mostly cooked, add garlic and spices (we substitute fresh ginger... — Marina K Jun 9, 2008

Raspberry Lemon Muffins

I enjoyed the flavour of the batter, and am looking forward to tasting the finished product. I found that the recipe only yielded 11 small muffins (strange b/c my muffin cups are not particularly large), so next time I will increase the recipe... — Marina K May 31, 2008

Lemony Celery Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sharon123  

We loved the lemony kick to this soup - way better than cream of celery! We didn't puree the soup completely, but that was just a matter of preference. We also followed a reviewer's recommendation and added oregano, basil, and a bay leaf. This is... — Marina K Apr 10, 2008

Salmon and Leek Pasta

Posted by JC Gau  

I've made this dish twice now and the flavours are really great. The 21 minutes listed to make it is ambitious, but 30 minutes wouldn't be far off, in any case very quick to put together. As listed, I find the sauce to be a little thin. I made... — Marina K Apr 10, 2008

Indian-Style Chilled Carrot Salad

Posted by Andtototoo!  

A very nice carrot salad! We enjoyed the smoky flavour of the mustard seeds, and the hint of spice from the chili complimented but did not over power. We added just a touch of rice vinegar, as we found there was not quite enough acid from the... — Marina K Apr 5, 2008
