Italian Wedding Soup

Posted by LikeItLoveIt  

I don't like soup. My family does, so I'm trying to learn how to make these. I had to make a few alterations, but this was a great dish - even I enjoyed it! I doubled the recipe, and used turkey instead of beef. Added almost all of the egg(s),... — Lighty Oct 20, 2009

Russian Cheesecake - Zapekanka

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by nightfall20252  

Used this instead of a cake for my 2yo's birthday. Used frozen blueberries for the inside, fresh blueberries over a think layer of thick sour cream for the top. The kids gobbled it up - even the ones who "hate dairy" - and the adults enjoyed... — Lighty Sep 11, 2009

Beef Brisket with Burgundy-Orange Sauce

Posted by Mirj  

I've made this a few times, and it's always a success. Mirjam, if you see this any time soon, what do you think of subbing Honey for marmalade and adding more rind? (a) don't want to have a half-full jar of the stuff and (b) 'tis the Season... — Lighty Sep 11, 2009

Keep looking for the Shirazi our fav. persian place serves, and this, sadly, isn't it. Still very good, just not what we were looking for... — Lighty Aug 16, 2009

Kittencal's Overnight Layered Caramel French Toast

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

I cannot believe I never reviewed this recipe! I've made it at least 5 times, as the celebrate-breakfast-diet-later treat. I make 2 changes which are not at all necessary, but make everyone go "Ooh". First, I add about a T of orange blossom water... — Lighty Jul 27, 2009

Fresh Peach Cobbler

Posted by MizzNezz  

I had to play with this recipe quite a bit, but we were very happy with the outcome. First, I had to double the recipe since I didn't have an 8x8 pan I used 2 small nectarines, 1 big purple plum and 3 small red plums. I did NOT double the sugar... — Lighty Jun 27, 2009

Nutty Oatmeal Raisin Chews

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Derf  

delicious and low-guilt. I added a bit of "the usual" spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves - and baked for 13 minutes. 3 down, trying to stop now ps 4 days later tried it with 2 eggs and a bit less oil. The dough is much stickier though... — Lighty May 7, 2009

Strawberry Nut Bread

Posted by cookiedog  

Quick, not horribly unhealthy, and non-dairy! A wonderful dessert. I skimped on sugar as I tend to (about 1 3/4 cups) and used a 12x9 disposable foil pan. Perfection in an hour! — Lighty Apr 20, 2009

Most important point: this worked well for Passover using Matza Cake Meal!! On a more generic note, while I didn't have lemon rind or an hour to wait, these turned out swell. I second annz' opinion re low leat; I fried mine on medium-low and the... — Lighty Apr 12, 2009

Tuna Pasta Primavera

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Vino Girl  

There are 2 awesome parts to this dish - speed and nutrition. While I think the original is supposed to be served room-temperature, I actually mixed the vegetables, tuna (one can in water, one in oil, no extra oil added), and pasta (whole wheat... — Lighty Feb 25, 2009

We're eating vegetarian this week, and I had about 8 oz of cooked whole wheat pasta to deal with, as well as an abundance of basic white mushrooms. I added some dried thyme with the basil (FN chefs always claim the mushrooms and thyme have a... — Lighty Aug 8, 2008

Roasted Red Bell Pepper Pasta

We enjoyed this dish, but with a few alterations. I used a 12oz jar of rrps, as well as 2 home-roasted orange peppers. I also boiled 16 oz of whole wheat fusili, but only used about half of it and still felt like there was too much pasta and not... — Lighty Aug 6, 2008

Best Lemon Bars

Posted by Luby Luby Luby  

These are the first lemon bars I've made, and I loved both the ease of preparation and the tartness of these bars. I did halve the recipe (only 2 eggs in the house!) and baked in an 8x8 pan; also, I beat the eggs by hand for quite a while, and... — Lighty Jul 19, 2008

Sausage and Rice Casserole

So I was looking for a way to use up a pound of turkey kielbasa, and this seemed like a good idea. Did I say good? I meant incredible! I used half of a large onion, 3 stalks of celery, and added about 1/3 each of yellow and orange peppers to the... — Lighty Mar 29, 2008

Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Roosie  

Very nice. I nuked the butters together a little to soften them up, used 1/2 c brown sugar and 1/4 c white, since I like a crunchier cookie, and skimped on both, since I like less sweetness. Of course the 3/4c chocolate chips brought the sugar way... — Lighty Mar 25, 2008
