I was going to post this myself after seeing it in Real Simple. I really enjoyed it when I made it. I used less olive oil and more red pepper. — Vino Girl Aug 17, 2009

Soy-Wasabi Shrimp and Scallop Skewers - Weight Watchers

Posted by Rhiannon Deux  

Yummy! The wasabi was more subtle than expected. I tripled the marinade. I used 1/3 for the skewers and the rest I thickened with cornstarch to make a sauce for the veggies and rice I made (edamame, carrots, snow peas, water chestnuts). Thank... — Vino Girl Feb 28, 2009

Spinach Sauce for Pasta

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Hey Jude  

I was looking for a non-tomato recipe to use up some ricotta, and this was great! I only used maybe 1 Tablespoon of oil and I added in some sun-dried tomatoes and a few red pepper flakes. I only used maybe 6 ounces of pasta and the 2 of us ate... — Vino Girl Jan 11, 2009

All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce (Brown Garlic Sauce)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Connie K  

This is a really good and easy to make sauce. I added some red pepper flakes since we like our Chinese food on the spicy side. We used the whole batch of sauce with our huge shrimp, snow pea, water chestnut, carrot and broccoli stir fry (over... — Vino Girl Jan 5, 2009

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Posted by hipbonez  

These are REALLY good. I am not vegan, but I often go for vegan cookie recipes since many of them tend to be healthier. One thing I have found is that often vegan cookie recipes are cakey. This one isn't! It's chewy and moist and full of... — Vino Girl Dec 11, 2008

Vodka Scallops With Seasoned Chipotle and Shallots

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

These are excellent. DH and I love spicy, hot food so these were not too hot...but close! I did not have any shallots so I used a small amount of onion and a bit more garlic. I used some HUGE sea scallops and the cook time was perfect.... — Vino Girl Dec 10, 2008

Tomato Rotini Soup

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

We loved this soup! DH even said it was one of the best soups we've had in a while. I only put in maybe 1/2 as much tomato juice and broth, so it was thick. Thank you! — Vino Girl Dec 1, 2008

Crabmeat Stuffed Tilapia

Posted by jdrichardson  

This is really good - like a crab cake stuffed inside the fish. I only used a tablespoon of melted butter over the dish at the end, and left the rest of the butter out. I layered this rather than rolled it. Thank you for posting this! — Vino Girl Nov 10, 2008

Baked Asparagus Spinach Risotto

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by chia  

Excellent! I used broccoli and peas instead of asparagus, Asiago instead of Parmesan. I see lots of variation possibilities with this recipe, and it's both easy and delicious enough that I know I will make this often. Thank you! — Vino Girl Nov 3, 2008

Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant (Aubergine)

Posted by Red Apple Guy  

This is really very good. I doubled the recipe and it was a main course for us (my eggplants were on the small side). I added in a small sweet pepper and a small chili pepper. I did not use as much cheese, and what I did use was a combination... — Vino Girl Oct 14, 2008

Cardamom Banana Bread With Pistachios

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by dicentra  

I love cardamom and bananas, and I am convinced Cooking Light never has a bad recipe, so I knew I'd love this - and I did! I did not have any pistachios and I cut the white sugar to 1/4 cup - otherwise I left the recipe as-is. This makes a... — Vino Girl Jul 21, 2008

Banana Cream of Wheat Bread

Posted by ~*Miss Diggy*~  

I decided to give this one a try since I had both a lot of bananas that needed to be used up, plus a box of Cream of Wheat that didn't seem to be going anywhere. I would actually give this one a 5 for texture - it's moist and firm and not... — Vino Girl Jul 15, 2008

Easy Swiss Apple Pie

Posted by Lambkyns  

This was pretty good and I liked the fact that besides the egg, there's basically no fat in this. It's still very moist! I did add some vanilla and a sprinkling of cardamom to this for added flavor. Thank you for sharing this. — Vino Girl May 5, 2008

Orange Cake

We really liked this, even though I typically don't even like orange flavored things! I halved the recipe and baked it in a loaf pan for 20 minutes. After glazing I also dusted the cake with powdered sugar, and I served it with a bit of Cool... — Vino Girl Apr 17, 2008

Orange Milano

Posted by Mommy Diva  

We really liked this, and orange juice isn't even my thing! I freshly juiced the oranges for this drink, and I think that made all the difference for me. (It was lighter and less sweet than if I used juice from a carton.) I'll be making this... — Vino Girl Apr 17, 2008

"Old Reliable" French Bread (for Kitchen Aid Mixers)

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Lizzie-Babette  

This is a great bread recipe! I did not use the egg wash and I substituted about 2 cups of whole wheat flour for 2 cups of all-purpose. The bread was softer than expected (not a bad thing at all) and easy to make. Since there's just the 2 of us... — Vino Girl Mar 11, 2008

Greek-Style Scampi
