Tostadas With Chorizo

Posted by BarbryT  

These were good. I had premade tostadas so saved me that step. Sour cream is must as another reviewer mentioned. The meat/bean mixture would also be wonderful on nachos with cheese melted in the broiler. — Vicki in CT Nov 18, 2009

Gnocchi Bolognese Bake

Posted by JustJanS  

This was definitely comfort food. I think it would be better with Italian sausage (hot variety) and adding peppers and mushrooms with the onions. I would say serves 6-8 easily. — Vicki in CT Nov 18, 2009

Potato Leek Soup

Posted by MargieLandis  

As a previous reviewer stated the instructions are not clear. The first seven ing. are added at the beginning. I reallly enjoyed this soup, it was thick and nice and very flavorful with so few ingredients. I omitted the caraway seeds. Instead... — Vicki in CT Nov 14, 2009

Golden Mushroom, Pea, and Asparagus Risotto (Vegan)

Posted by JanuaryBride  

This was a remarkably rich and creamy risotto. I wasn't sure on cooking time; mine took about 35 minutes. My version was not vegan since I added some parm at the end and used chick stock instead of veggie. I also subbed leeks for onion because... — Vicki in CT Nov 9, 2009

Ham & Noodle Casserole

Posted by Sherri Dodsworth  

This was comfort food deluxe. I had been searching for a recipe to use my leftover ham. This did not dissappoint. I used reduced fat soup, fat free cheddar and ommitted the butter. Was still nice and creamy. Will definitely revisit this easy,... — Vicki in CT Oct 15, 2009

Thai Shrimp Kabobs With Hot Ginger Sauce

Posted by echo echo  

I loved this recipe. The weather turned nasty so I ended up doing a quick stir fry. I heated the sauce in microwave without cornstarch/juice. When shrimp was done I added sauce with cornstarch/juice to hot pan off the heat which created a most... — Vicki in CT Oct 14, 2009

Nice, hearty dish. I used spicy Italian sausage. Next time will add some additional seasonings. I also thought tomato sauce/paste/tomatoes would be nice (like a stuffed cabbage. Unusual and good. — Vicki in CT Oct 6, 2009

Spicy Tomato Shrimp

Posted by Deantini  

I am perplexed why this didn't meet my expectations. All of the flavors are ones I enjoy, they just didn't come together well in this recipe. Seemed to overpower the shrimp, but underwhelmed the tomatoes, if that makes sense. The tomatoes just... — Vicki in CT Sep 16, 2009

Watermelon Martini

Posted by mama's kitchen  

This was a nice drink, but strong. Probably unfair, but have had watermelon martinis out and this one was different. Not in a bad way, just not what I expected. Definitely not a sweet drink. In all fairness, did not have watermelon either. — Vicki in CT Sep 9, 2009

Chinese-Style Flavorful Salmon

This was a tasty dish. I liked the way the salmon was slightly crispy (I left whole and without skin) from the flour coating. My one problem was when I added the sauce to the pan it almost completely evaporated in an instant. Maybe my pan was... — Vicki in CT Sep 9, 2009
