Crab and Shrimp Crepes With Mornay Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Dawn  

I had a bag of stone crab claws, and decided to make these for my wife. They were fantastic - very rich. We found that about 2-2.5 crepes filled us up. I actually made 9 crepes, and ended up with just the right amount of filling for fat crepes.... — ChrisMc Oct 16, 2004

Teriyaki Sauce

Posted by Basilicious  

This is the recipe I use as well - very simple and tasty. My wife (who also grew up in Hawaii) came into the kitchen the first time I made this, drawn by the smell of "what it's supposed to smell like." — ChrisMc Jun 13, 2004

Honey Ginger Grilled Salmon

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

This is very quick and easy to make. I actually ended up marinating it for a day, because our dinner plans changed at the last minute. I cooked it on the Foreman grill as well. The one thing I would try next time is glazing it with the extra... — ChrisMc Sep 7, 2003

Red Cooked Chicken, Eastern Chinese Style

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by tgobbi  

Actually, I can't believe no one else has rated this yet - it was fantastic! I used a fryer chicken, cut up Chinese style, and cooked pretty much as above. The only chang I made was at the end - I added some cornstarch dissolved in cold water to... — ChrisMc Aug 16, 2003

Fresh Lemon Sorbet

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Dancer^  

I usually get Edy's WholeFruit sorbet - this may change that. It was fantastic! VERY flavorful, and really not hard at all to make! I used mostly limes (4-5) with one lemon for variety. It does take a little whwile to set up (either that, or I... — ChrisMc Aug 16, 2003

Caramelized Lemongrass Chicken Thighs

Posted by ChrisMc  

I made it again and checked my amounts carefully. The mistake I made when posting the recipe was in step 9. I overstated the amount of water to add. It should actually be about 1/4 inch - just barely enough to cover the bottom of the pan. That... — ChrisMc Mar 2, 2003

Chocolate Rum Cake

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by 1Steve  

This was a fantastic cake, and very easy to make. I brought it to Christmas dinner, and everybody raved about it! Just a couple things that I did differently - first, I lined the Bundt pan with cocoa instead of bread crumbs; that way, I didn't... — ChrisMc Dec 26, 2002

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Mysterygirl  

I love these! I used my recipe for Taco Meat (which is a copycat for Taco Bell's beef) - if has a fine texture, and works well. Thanks for posting this! — ChrisMc Sep 17, 2002

Sharp Dark Mustard

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

Great recipe for deli-style mustard! This is very quick and easy to make. I did sift the mustard while the vinegar was boiling to help prevent lumps. I tried some the night I made it and again the next day - the flavor benefits from sitting and... — ChrisMc Sep 15, 2002

Pan Fried Steak with Mustard-Pepper Sauce

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Terri F.  

Very tasty, rich, and easy to make sauce. I made this with eye of round steaks, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus. I only made two steaks, but made more sauce than 2 steaks worth and had the rest as gravy over the potatoes. I agree - this... — ChrisMc Sep 5, 2002

Impossible Beer Bread

(9 people found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

That Inez - calling this impossible. It's actually very easy - I don't know what she's thinking . I used Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout as my beer - it yielded a very hearty taste. I was a little suprised at the texture - it's a soda bread, but... — ChrisMc Jul 28, 2002

Thai Stir-Fried Chile Beef

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Sue L  

Tasty stir-fry - I very much agree that slicing the beef while half-frozen makes it much easier. I used Thai green chilis and a little crushed red pepper. The one thing that I will change the next time I make it is the sauce - it turned out... — ChrisMc Jul 28, 2002

Coffee Syrup

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Caryn  

Very easy to make - I let the syrup boil down a little bit before pouring the syrup over the coffee. I actually used hazelnut coffee - tasty with chocolate syrup over ice cream. As an alternative, use like espresso and add a little extra kick to... — ChrisMc Jul 15, 2002

Thai Fried Rice - Kao Pad

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Sue L  

Very easy to make - I did all my chopping, then had each group of ingredients to be added at once in a single bowl. It didn't seem as though the fish sauce, ketchup, and peppers would add enough flavor, but I was suprised at how tasty it was -... — ChrisMc Jul 15, 2002

Chinese Imperial Palace General Tso's Chicken

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Sealoverz  

I love this recipe - just the right amount of heat, and very tasty. I mixed the cornstarch with some of the soy sauce before mixing with the chicken - that may help if one notices a cornstarch taste - I've not noticed it. I used dried bird's eye... — ChrisMc Jul 15, 2002

Twice Baked Potatoes

Very good potatoes - I actually mixed bacon bits into the potato mixture before stuffing the shells, and also used cheddat cheese instead of Parmesan. — ChrisMc Jul 14, 2002

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Dancer^  

What a great summer dessert! I made the compote ahead (it took less than 5 minutes), then just scooped and served after dinner. Very flavorful, with a nice tart taste, low fat - a recipe I will be making often. Kudos to Dancer. — ChrisMc Jul 14, 2002

Thai Chicken and Rice Soup - Kao Tom Gai

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Sue L  

Very easy to make - the rice just needs to be set up to simmer, then it's a quick stirfry and you're done. The flavor could be more intense - I served this with soy sauce and Tabasco sauce, and my fiancee and I seasoned to taste. Only small... — ChrisMc Jul 14, 2002

Cheat n' Eat Vietnamese Chicken Soup

(7 people found this helpful) Posted by Sue L  

Great quick soup - I made this for a family dinner, and everyone loved it. Just the right amount of heat (as my mom put it, "Food that bites back a little"). Adding the herbs really changes the tenor of the soup and makes it a soup with a lot of... — ChrisMc Jul 7, 2002

Quick Hunan Grilled Chicken

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Sue L  

Delicious! This was also as easy to make as advertised. I used the textured end of the meat tenderizer to pound out the chicken, and found that the flavor penetrated very well that way. I also used my Foreman Grill to cook it - I made 2 breasts... — ChrisMc Jul 7, 2002
