Dutch Bosbessen Brood (Blueberry Bread)

Posted by PanNan  

The flavors in this bread are amazing. I used mixed berries (frozen) instead of blueberries. Wow. I will make this again. When making this for someone else, I follow the recipe. For myself, though, I use less sugar to lower the calorie count. The... — MarinasDaddy Sep 21, 2009

Simply Delicious New York-Style Cheesecake

Posted by Luby Luby Luby  

Excellent, authentic cheesecake recipe. I made this for my husband's birthday, and he said that it reminded him of the New York style cheesecake of his youth (his mother is Italian and grew up near Arthur Avenue in the Bronx). I couldn't figure... — MarinasDaddy Sep 20, 2009

Why-I-Joined-Zaar Carrot Cake

Posted by Lennie  

Very moist with wonderful flavors! I made this for my husband's birthday, and everyone loved it. I made 9-inch layers, which did dip a bit in the middle (I think because the carrots I used had a lot of moisture). The cake, once frosted and... — MarinasDaddy Sep 20, 2009

The Simple but Perfect Pancake

Posted by Roxygirl in Colorado  

Very nice pancakes. I added a couple teaspoons of grated orange peel and fresh strawberries (goes great with Mimosas). Next time, I will omit the sugar because the outside of the pancakes were a bit more crisp than I prefer. Overall, they were... — MarinasDaddy Sep 20, 2009

Peach Ice Cream

Posted by Elmolvsu  

Very tasty and refreshing during the hot summer months when peaches come into season. I made a minor change to the recipe because I do not eat raw eggs. I whisked the eggs into the milk and cooked on low heat to 160 degrees. Next time, I will chop... — MarinasDaddy Aug 11, 2009

French Country Chicken Stew

Posted by Tish  

Didn't have all ingredients on hand, so made some substitutions, but still turned out great! Substituted black pepper for white; substituted fresh oregano and thyme for tarragon; used 1 cup wine, 1 cup chicken broth, and 1/2 cup water in place... — MarinasDaddy Jun 28, 2009

Cauliflower And/Or Broccoli Soup (Ww 0 Point Soup)

Posted by Redsie  

This is a good basis for a very flavorful soup. I made the broccoli version, which has a subtle flavor that needs to be brought out a bit more. Asparagus would be a good addition as another reviewer suggested. I'd try roasting the broccoli... — MarinasDaddy Mar 24, 2009

Balsamic Roast Mushrooms

Posted by Tisme  

Good! Heavy on the oil so not a good lowfat recipe. Next time I'll probably use half the oil. I had Thai sweet chili sauce on hand, plus fresh Thai basil for the herb. Excellent flavor! Author needs to clean up the mixed english/metric and go... — MarinasDaddy Mar 10, 2009

French Madeleines

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Gingerbee  

Very tasty and easy to make. If you do not have a non-stick pan, though, my advice is to lightly flour the pans. Remove the madeleines from the pan immediately after taking them out of the oven. Tap the edge of the pan as you turn them out onto... — MarinasDaddy Jan 16, 2009

Whole Wheat Honey Banana Muffins

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by A Messy Cook  

Quite good flavor. The little one is enjoying one right now, fresh out of the oven and cooled. I followed the suggestion to substitute applesauce for half of the oil, but I think this contributed to a slightly dry texture. I used white whole... — MarinasDaddy Oct 2, 2008

Argentinean Empanadas

Posted by Sephardi Kitchen  

The meat filling was tasty, though very mild. I don’t remember tasting cumin in empanadas that I’ve had in the past, so I can’t say if the recipe is authentic. The dough recipe came out VERY, VERY wet. I had to add a lot of extra flour to... — MarinasDaddy Sep 29, 2008

Minestrone With Italian Sausage

Good! I just chopped and dumped in the veggies I had — frozen corn, a potato... and I used chicken broth and chicken sausage. Used wide egg noodles instead of pasta. Basically, just follow the oiutline and dump in the veggies you have and/or... — MarinasDaddy Sep 15, 2008

Chicken With Cauliflower and Olives

We're not big fans of cauliflower, so this recipe was impressive in that it made the stuff palatable. I'd make it again. — MarinasDaddy Aug 27, 2008

Sausage, Brown Rice Risotto

Very tasty. Would definitely make again. I had zucchini and carrots instead of bell pepper to go with the onions, and they went well. I might try to bake it in a covered pan next time. — MarinasDaddy Jul 23, 2008

Grilled Mahi Mahi

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Peeps  

Very nice. The mint and cumin combine to produce interesting flavor. Didn't have lime, substituted lemon. Reminds me of a dish I like at a nice Napa Valley restaurant. I used a hand blender to blend the liquid ingredients together into a uniform... — MarinasDaddy Apr 26, 2008

Onion Lentils and Rice

Posted by jessi-ryan  

Excellent! I used 2 large sweet yellow onions Browning and caramelizing them took awhile, but the rich, sweet flavor was worth the wait. Also, I de-glazed the pan with some white wine after removing the second batch of onions. Works well with... — MarinasDaddy Apr 25, 2008

Chicken and Barley Stew

Posted by Bertha C.  

Very nice. I had fresh basil instead of dry, so I added it at the very end of cooking. Instead of chicken breasts I used 2 packets of chicken drumsticks, but deboning was no problem. After they had simmered for so long the meat just fell right... — MarinasDaddy Jan 19, 2008
