North African Vegetable Soup

Posted by Ms*Bindy  

This was so good, and extremely quick and fast to pull together! I made a double batch the first night, and liked it so much that I made another double batch the next night to freeze! I omitted celery and tomato juice because I didn't have them... — francoroni Nov 22, 2009

Potato and Chile Soup

Posted by justcallmetoni  

Pretty good but needed a little something more. I think using vegetable broth in place of some or all of the water would have been good. I didn't have anaheim chilies, so I used more bell peppers and added 3 jalapenos. I left out the milk and... — francoroni Nov 7, 2009

Red Root Soup

Posted by mikekey  

Great Halloween soup for the color. I didn't have leeks or shallots, so substituted 5 onions. Should have used 4 onions, and I should have sauteed them first. I added two extra potatoes. I made the whole soup non-dairy, then added a spoonful... — francoroni Oct 29, 2009

Foolproof, One Bowl Banana Cake

Posted by Sarah Chana  

Tasty and oh so easy! I made it gluten free by using 1.5 cups white rice flour and .5 cups tapioca flour. I also added an extra banana or two, used oil in place of margerine, and maple syrup in place of sugar, but had to bake longer. — francoroni Sep 2, 2009

Peach Crisp

Posted by M&Mers  

Not sweet enough, and not especially good. On the plus side, it was very easy to make. I'll try another recipe next time. — francoroni Aug 20, 2009

Brown Rice and Lentils

Posted by Marlowe Earl  

Extremely simple recipe, and a good base, but lacking in spices. I added more salt plus cayenne pepper and that helped out a lot. Next time I'll substitute half the water for vegetable broth, and I think that will make it a 4 star recipe. — francoroni Aug 19, 2009

Blueberry Cake

Posted by shezashark  

Very easy and quite tasty, but lacking a little something. Will try adding vanilla or maybe lemon zest next time. I used canola oil instead of shortening, maple syrup instead of sugar, rice milk in place of regular milk, and to make it gluten... — francoroni Aug 5, 2009

Fat Free Banana Apple Bread

Posted by nikki ciciretto  

Great flavor, and a perfect use of bananas and apples about to go bad. I made it gluten free by using 1 3/4 c white rice flour and 3/4 c tapioca starch in place of regular flour. I also substituted maple syrup for the brown sugar. I added the... — francoroni Jul 20, 2009

Italian Vegetable Toss

Posted by Susan P  

It was easy to put together and very simple, but I didn't get any real excitement from the flavor. It pretty much tasted like steamed veggies. I even put a couple of hot red peppers in to spice things up, and it still was rather bland. — francoroni Jul 19, 2009

Tempura Batter for Fish and Vegetables

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Karen From Colorado  

We used Jodid's suggestions to make a gluten-free batter and it was so delicious! For our wetter veggies, we dipped them lightly in dry rice flour before battering so the batter would stick better. We did oyster mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant,... — francoroni Jul 16, 2009

Chocolate Zucchini Cake - Gluten Free

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Molly53  

This is more of a chocolate zucchini bread rather than cake. It is not as sweet as I would expect from a cake. The texture is nice and the taste is pretty good-- though I like unchocolate zucchini bread better! The chocolate and zucchini is... — francoroni May 31, 2009

Splenda Cocoa Bottom Banana Bars

Posted by Shy617  

Very tasty, but not super banana-flavored. I used maple syrup in place of splenda, and to make it gluten free I used a little over 1 c rice flour, and a little over 1/2 c potato starch in place of 1.5 c all purpose flour. It turned out well,... — francoroni May 27, 2009

Tatale - Ghanian Plantain Cakes

Posted by Chef #442730  

An interesting flavor combination with the sweet plantain and savory onion. Easy to make. I found the first batch I fried to be a little bland, so I added more salt and some garlic powder, and they were quite good. Next time I may add a pinch... — francoroni May 24, 2009

Eggplant, Tomato and Green Onion Curry

Very easy to make, but overall for me a dissapointment. Tastes more like Americanized food rather than authentic. — francoroni May 24, 2009

Charleston Yellow Squash Casserole

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by BeachGirl  

So tasty! The nutmeg is really a great addition. I can't tolerate gluten so I omitted the crackers and it turned out a little liquidy but still held together OK. Next time I might add a tablespoon or two of rice flour in their place. I used... — francoroni May 23, 2009

Zucchini Bread (Gluten Free)

Posted by Emily Elizabeth  

I substituted potato starch for corn starch, and the texture turned out just awful. So I am not rating the recipe, as I did not make it per instructions. I will say that you do NEED to use the dough hooks on the mixer like they say! I forgot to... — francoroni May 23, 2009

Strawberry Pie

Posted by Wendys Kitchen  

The pie itself is very tasty and healthy, too! However mine did not set, even after overnight in the fridge. The crust didn't hold together and stuck to the pie dish, and the filling was runny and had to be spooned out. Maybe the pie actually... — francoroni May 21, 2009

Zucchini Spoon Bread

Posted by Barb Gertz  

I wanted to give 4.5 stars. A nice comforting meal, though could use with more spice than is listed in the ingredients. I doubled the recipe and put it in a 9x13 pan. I used 2 hot red peppers, but should have used 4. So if you are making the... — francoroni May 21, 2009
