Mediterranean Kale & White Bean Soup With Sausage

Posted by Battle in Seattle  

I cannot stop eating this very flavorful, healthy soup. It's really good! I made the recipe as stated, with one small addition of 1/4 cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley. Also, I did not add the lemon juice or zest, and instead, sprinkled it... — Cookin'Diva Nov 5, 2009

Winter Salad

Posted by Keolani  

I've been making this salad since 2002 when a Cincinnati friend gave it to me. It features a sweet poppy seed dressing and a salad that is chock-full of crunchy ingredients. This is one of my perennial favorites and something I would put in my... — Cookin'Diva Oct 23, 2009

Posted by Cyclone*Mommy  

This recipe is often called "Winter Salad" because it has ingredients that are readily available at that time of year. You can several versions of it on 'zaar by searching for "Winter Salad". I've been making this salad since 2002 when a... — Cookin'Diva Oct 23, 2009

Libby's Pumpkin Cranberry Bread

Posted by justtakealook82  

I've made this recipe for years, but my copy has 3/4 C. oil and 3/4 C. orange juice, which would be less fat than the recipe as posted here. I also use about 2 cups fresh cranberries and also 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts. As you can see from... — Cookin'Diva Oct 17, 2009

Boston Market Butternut Squash

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Marie  

I enjoyed squash this week in a lovely Vermont restaurant and thought this recipe would replicate the flavors. It was very close to the restaurant dish and very good! The next time, I plan to ROAST the squash rather than steaming because I... — Cookin'Diva Oct 14, 2009

Seafood Pasta Sauce

Posted by Sage  

Delightful recipe that is not overly complicated. I was intrigued by the idea of mixing low-fat sour cream into hot pasta, but it turned out to be a wonderful way to add a bit of creaminess to the final recipe. I like the hints from other... — Cookin'Diva Sep 18, 2009

Easy Taco Stew

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Merlot  

I doubled this recipe and made it in a crockpot for my Tennis Team luncheon. I served it with everything to make taco SALADS, and it was a big hit. Here is the process for a crockpot: Heat 1 T. oil in a saute pan - add onions and saute until... — Cookin'Diva Sep 18, 2009

Lunchbox Peanut Butter Brownies

Posted by appleydapply  

These brownies are so beautiful - you want to just gobble them up quickly! I will make them again, but with two adjustments: 1) my biggest complain is that they are really not sweet enough so I would increase sugar to 1 1/4 cups, and 2) I might... — Cookin'Diva Aug 14, 2009

Raisin Walnut Biscotti

Posted by Charmed  

I make biscotti frequently, but what I love about this recipe is that it has the perfect crunch (not too hard, not too crumbly). The flavor is something like Snickerdoodle cookie and the baking aroma is just amazing. One time, I glazed the... — Cookin'Diva Aug 6, 2009

Sweet and Saucy Grilled Salmon

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

Amazing concentrated flavors that are sweet (from the jelly), flavorful (from green onion & cilantro), and spicy (from jalapenos). We loved the taste as well as the colors in the beautiful glaze. A delightful recipe from America's Test Kitchen.... — Cookin'Diva Aug 6, 2009

Neverending Dessert Salad

Posted by Chef #177730  

This great dessert-salad is often called Pink Fluff or Cherry Fluff. I looked at all the cherry fluff-type recipes before deciding on this one, because I liked the addition of coconut and pecans. I didn't mix the pecans into the salad, but... — Cookin'Diva Jul 7, 2009

Baja Black Beans, Corn and Rice

Posted by Barb Gertz  

I'm in love with this salad! It's zesty and healthy and filling. The addition of brown rice is brilliant, although I admit that I only used 2 C. cooked brown rice (cooled) and mixed it all together. 6/12/09 My family is requesting that I make... — Cookin'Diva Jun 18, 2009

Fantastic Double Chocolate-Pecan Biscotti

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

I'm a huge biscotti fan and baker. I would rank these with my top 3 biscotti recipes(the other two being Cranberry-Orange and Anise-Almond). The flavor was decadently chocolate and they have just the right amount of crunch without hurting your... — Cookin'Diva May 25, 2009

Seafoam Salad

Posted by BecR  

The family really loved this - I would suggest this change. Blend the dry jello with the cottage cheese first, THEN add other ingredients. Addition May 2009 - I added 2 cups of mini-marshmallows and I think I like it even more! — Cookin'Diva May 21, 2009

Cornbread With Corn Casserole

Posted by Tonkcats  

I served this for a casual dinner party on the patio last night. It was good, but not a huge hit with the 10 folks at the party. It serves like a cornbread (you can slice it and it holds together) but then you have these chunky pieces of corn... — Cookin'Diva Apr 19, 2009

Homemade Gnocchi

Posted by Marie  

This recipe allows you to mix things quickly, but you'll still need to allow time to roll the dough into ropes and to form the little pieces. Since that part of the process takes some time, make it a group project and everyone will be laughing!... — Cookin'Diva Apr 17, 2009

Caramel Sauce

The texture when you are done boiling is about like thick pancake syrup, but after refrigeration, it's exactly like the jars of Hot Caramel Sauce that are sold in the ice cream aisle. The quantity fits into a regular sized peanut-butter jar, so... — Cookin'Diva Apr 14, 2009

Crock Pot Reuben Dip

Posted by katie in the UP  

I doubled this recipe for a St. Patrick's Day luncheon, and 20 people cleaned out the entire crockpot. I didn't want to just mix all the ingredients together (thinking it wouldn't look very appealing), so I layered the sauerkraut on the bottom,... — Cookin'Diva Mar 17, 2009
