Banana Nutmeg Smoothie

Posted by Mirj  

This is great! I make mine with vanilla protein powder (for added staying power) and skip the honey since the protein powder is sweetened. I've had this for breakfast daily and I really enjoy it. I never would have thought of the nutmeg -... — MadCatKim Sep 14, 2009

Butternut Squash Bisque

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

Very nice. I microwaved the squash (purchased already diced cubes in a bag) and pureed the onions and garlic with the squash. I think I would probably prefer cream for a high-octane version but this is tasty as is. Thank you for posting this... — MadCatKim Jan 23, 2005

Toasted Coconut Bread

Posted by ~Leanne~  

I made muffins from this recipe. I agree with the other reviewers that this would be best as a poundcake (top with fruit and whipped cream) instead. The coconut flavor is very mild. Since I love coconut flavor, I would probably add coconut... — MadCatKim Sep 12, 2004

Spinach and Ricotta Pie

Posted by Dee514  

Very good and simple. I skipped the pie shell and parmesan cheese but added lots of freshly cooked and crumbled bacon. Would make a wonderful breakfast, too. — MadCatKim Aug 1, 2004

Gramma's "Corn Souffle"

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by LAURIE  

I enjoyed this a lot. People who enjoy custard-ish foods will like this, too. I used light cream instead of milk. I had a hard time believing the number of servings, but it is correct so plan accordingly! — MadCatKim Nov 30, 2003

Broccoli Salad

Posted by Brandie Crossley  

Very good and this is coming from someone who is not a fan of broccoli. I skipped the seeds and used regular mayo. Was a hit at Thanksgiving! — MadCatKim Nov 30, 2003

Herbed Broccoli

Very good and inventive way to dress up broccoli. Canned tomatoes work in a pinch. Thanks! — MadCatKim Nov 7, 2003

Chiffonade of Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Hazelnuts

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by P4  

Very good. I used butter instead of bacon fat because I only had (real) bacon bits on hand. I'm sure the bacon fat route is better Don't be afraid to add a splash of white wine to round out the flavors. Definitely a nice way to serve brussel... — MadCatKim Aug 30, 2003

Roasted Beet, Pistachio and Pear Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Derf  

I had small beets so I roasted six of them. Also, I used 2 Tbsp OJ and 1 Tbsp lime juice since I realized too late that I was out of lemon juice. It worked nicely. I find that the pistachios and cayenne give this dish just the right kick. Nice... — MadCatKim Aug 30, 2003

Cranberry Mousse

Very nice twist on an old tradition. I made this for Thanksgiving (forgot to review it then, sorry!) and it was a hit. This makes a lovely dessert as well. Thank you! — MadCatKim Aug 24, 2003

Pineapple Beets

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

I'm not necessarily a beet or pineapple fan but did a "test run" of this recipe as a potential menu item for Thanksgiving. The older folks in the family enjoy beets so I thought I'd try it and see what I thought. I was pleasantly surprised.... — MadCatKim Aug 22, 2003

Corn Dog Casserole

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Nancy Van Ess  

A recipe must be good if you forget an ingredient and the family still likes it! I forgot the cheese but hubby and I still enjoyed this very much. I also used yellow onions instead of green onions. 5 stars for originality! — MadCatKim Aug 9, 2003

Penne with Tomato Herb Cream Sauce

Posted by lucy k.  

Very good flavor, easy to make. I used onion powder instead of onions and let it brown a bit for a roasted onion flavor. In the future I think I'll use crushed tomatoes instead of diced ones. — MadCatKim Aug 3, 2003

Pear Bread

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Tonkcats  

I used sour cream instead of yogurt. I found the batter to be a bit thick so I actually used 8 oz of sour cream. I also used cinnamon instead of nutmeg. I recommend it for peach shortcake. Very good. — MadCatKim May 26, 2003

Cantaloupe Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

Very pleased with this recipe. Nice, light summery dessert. I garnished with fresh raspberries instead of orange peel. I agree that you have to be careful with the cantaloupe since the seasonings are very subtle. — MadCatKim Apr 9, 2003

Honeyed Pineapple

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

Super easy side dish. Nice treat alongside coconut-battered fish or shrimp. I sprinkled it with cinnamon and baked it in a 350 F oven along side my main dish for about 30 min. Was lovely. — MadCatKim Apr 9, 2003

Coconut Breaded Cod

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by Julesong  

Fabulous fish! I double-dipped in the coconut but one dip would be just fine. I actually used sweetened coconut because that was all I had and it was superb. Very eggnog-y type flavor. Served with pineapple rings baked in same oven covered in... — MadCatKim Apr 9, 2003
