Cuban Pork Stew

Posted by tangletowngirl  

I was surprised to find out how much I liked this because the combiantion seemed so strange. It's really, really good and really hearty for the 5 ww points! I used extra garlic and added some chili powder, which gave it a little more spice. — SugarJen Nov 7, 2009

Leek and Potato Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Tara  

I actually didn't make this recipe at all. I used leeks, potato, celery, and carrot, and for spices used thyme, basil, and majoram. But I wanted to rate it because sauteing the leeks/potatoes and then adding flour was such a great technique! I... — SugarJen Oct 17, 2009

Barley Casserole

Posted by Maine-iac  

I knew as soon as I read this recipe that it would be VERY forgiving and I was right!!! I didn't have green peppers or butter so I subbed in diced carrots and olive oil. Delicious! I also threw in some fresh parsley because I had it in the... — SugarJen Sep 30, 2009

Balsamic Chard

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by GinnyP  

This gets 4 stars because I loved it but my husband hated it. After the chard cooked, the whole mix was really runny. I took the chard and tomatoes out with a slotted spoon and then turned up the heat to reduce the tomato/balsamic combo. — SugarJen Aug 16, 2009

Chewy Brownie Cookies

Posted by The Amaze-Ing Me  

These cookies are good, but I don't think the pecans are optional because I think it needs salt. Otherwise the cookies are just super duper sweet! I didn't have any pecans, so I added some cayenne pepper and some cinnamon, along with a sprinkle... — SugarJen Jun 7, 2009

Chicken and Barley Stew

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Bertha C.  

When i first reviewed this recipe I gave it 4 stars for being bland, but after making it a few times I have found a way to make it spectacular. First, start with a good stock, not boullion cubes. Next, increase the celery and use the inside... — SugarJen Mar 1, 2009

Yogurt Deviled Eggs

Posted by Sackville  

Yuck. I made this because I was out of mayo but had plain yogurt on hand. I won't be making it again. The taste is wrong, the texture is wrong, even the smell is wrong (which is hard to do with eggs.) Don't try this at home. — SugarJen Dec 21, 2008

Curried Cream of Carrot Soup With Ginger & Thyme

Posted by - Carla -  

I didn't even add salt and for some reason this turned out really salty! i solved the problem by peeling and dicing a pear and then blending that it. Overall, I liked this soup quite a bit, and a bunch of vitamins is always a nice bonus! — SugarJen Dec 19, 2008

Soft Molasses Spice Cookies

Posted by Rinder  

I LOVE these cookies! I picked this recipe because it was the only one that didn't call for shortening (which I didn't have) and it seemed to use less sugar than the others. I made it a little more healthy by subbing whole wheat flour for most... — SugarJen Dec 18, 2008

Parmesan Crusted Broiled Scallops

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Derf  

My husband declared this 'gourmet food' and we both really loved the scallops. I didn't have a broiling pan, so I put tinfoil on a baking sheet and heated it up in the oven before I put the scallops on (so the bottoms would get done, too.) I had... — SugarJen Nov 15, 2008

Crock Pot Pork and Cabbage Dinner

Posted by TheDancingCook  

This was really easy and tasted alright. I think I put in too much vinegar, which is my own fault for not using the measuring spoon. My husband doesn't like cabbage and wouldn't eat it. In fact, as soon as he walked into the house he was... — SugarJen Oct 28, 2008

Green Tomato Bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by southern chef in louisiana  

This was pretty good and it sure didn't taste like tomato! I changed the recipe a bit to make it a tad easier on the diet - 1 cup of applesauce and 1T of oil, lighter on the pecans, 1.5 cups of sugar, and half the flour I used was whole wheat. I... — SugarJen Oct 27, 2008

Green Tomato Casserole

Posted by Redallnite  

Yum, yum, yum. Served this for dinner guests last night, even though I don't usually do that on something untested. It made me hope that I have some more green tomatoes out there in my back yard! I skipped the butter and cut the cheese to 3/4... — SugarJen Oct 27, 2008

Brown Rice and Lentil Casserole

Posted by ladypit  

This is great! I think I would bake it about 75-80 minutes next time. I used fresh garlic instead of powder and threw in a few diced tomatos from my garden. I used parm instead of cheddar, but next time I would skip the cheese altogether.... — SugarJen Oct 15, 2008

Cuban Black Bean Patties

Posted by What's Cooking?  

This was really delicious! The only problem was that it didn't really stick together into patties, but once I rolled the tortillas closed it didn't matter anyway. I think I didn't drain the beans enough. I served this on tortillas with a... — SugarJen Jul 20, 2008

Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms

Posted by Normaone  

I did not enjoy this at all. Maybe it's because I made it with chicken broth instead of wine. It really seemed lacking in flavor. I threw in a bunch of marsala wine and re-reduced it at the end because it seemed so bland. Of course, this... — SugarJen Jun 14, 2008

Chicken and Barley Bake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

This was very good. I had to make a few changes because I didn't have a couple of the ingredients. I had to use rolled barley instead of pearl. It worked OK< but I would use pearl next time. I also didn't have any poultry seasoning so I threw... — SugarJen Jun 10, 2008

Sweet Potato and Lentil Soup

Yum, yum, and yum again. Thank goodness for the poster who explained that this recipe is asking for a half cup of cilantro, not a half cup of ground coriander!! The lemon also really added something at the end. The only thing I would change... — SugarJen Jun 4, 2008
