Neighborhood Ham and Bean Soup

Posted by Bobbie  

Excellent ham and bean soup! Do pay attention to the recommendation to use low-sodium chicken broth - I used low sodium broth and did not add any bouillon granules, and the soup was teetering on the balance of being a bit too salty by the time it... — xtine Nov 17, 2009

Better Than Chicken and Dumplings!

Posted by Koechin (Chef)  

This is a very good and is a great quick fix if you are hungry for chicken and dumplings. N.B. - to those reviewers who said it was soupy and did not form dumplings - you have to use self-rising flour in this recipe, no other flour will work -... — xtine Sep 29, 2009

Mexican Rice

Posted by Pot Scrubber  

This is excellent! I live in NYC, and it is very hard to find good Mexican food here, so if you want some you have to make it on your own. This is exactly like the rice at my favorite Mexican restaurant in Atlanta, Taxco. The second time I made it... — xtine Jul 12, 2009

Cheese Sauce (Vegan)

Posted by PhrostyWindow  

This is a very good sauce - it succeeds on its own merits, not just as a "fake cheese sauce". I would never mistake it for actual cheese, but it has a lot of the same qualities you want in a cheese sauce - it is savory, rich, and has the same sort... — xtine Dec 2, 2008

Hungarian Noodles and Cabbage

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lalaloob  

We really enjoyed this - it is classic comfort food and was surprisingly addictive, considering the simple ingredients. The only change I made was I rinsed the cabbage off after salting it and then pressed it in a towel to remove the water. Thanks... — xtine Nov 19, 2008

Cabbage and Piggies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mille® ™  

This was very good, especially for a recipe which is so simple and has so few ingredients. Bacon makes everything delicious! I steamed the cabbage instead of boiling it, but that was the only change I made. Thanks for posting this, I will... — xtine Nov 19, 2008

Cabbage Pork Buns

These were great - I really enjoyed making them and eating them. I particularly liked the brightness the balsamic vinegar added to the sauce. Next time I might try adding some minced water chestnuts to the filling for more texture. Thanks for... — xtine Nov 19, 2008

German Cabbage Casserole - Kohl Und Hackfleisch

Posted by mama's kitchen  

Excellent comfort food! I used 2 packages of "cole slaw mix" from the produce section - easier as there was no cabbage prep - and put in two extra garlic cloves because we like lots of garlic. I think 2 packages may have been more cabbage than... — xtine Oct 30, 2008

California Chicken

Posted by texasjj  

We really enjoyed this! The lemon peel adds a great flavor and really brightens up the dish. Next time I might try using olive oil instead of butter to try to work some "good fat" in. This is a nice change from the usual weekday chicken dishes,... — xtine Oct 11, 2008

Romano Potatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by texasjj  

These potatoes are delicious, and would make a wonderful side for an holiday meal - the next time I make them I will try experimenting with reducing the fat content (using low-fat cheese, milk, 1/4 cup butter) - I would love to eat these all the... — xtine Oct 11, 2008

Creamy Ramen Noodles

Posted by ms_bold  

I have to admit I was surprised at how good this is! I used skim milk, 1 tablespoon butter and half the seasoning packet since they are so salty to begin with. This is extremely easy, extremely quick, and the end result is tasty. If you're looking... — xtine Sep 5, 2008

Aunt Sue's Smoky Cream Cheese Cheese Ball

Posted by I_Cook_For_Firemen  

This is excellent. I made it with Speck, which is a smokier type of prosciutto, and roasted piquillo peppers. Left out the Accent because I didn't have any, but I don't think it suffered for the lack of it. My book club ate most of it, but luckily... — xtine Aug 15, 2008
