Mean Chef Chicken, Andouille, Ham and Okra Gumbo

Posted by Julie in TX  

Very enthusiastically received. Time consuming, but low stress. I halved the recipe. I must have whisked too fast or heated too slowly, because even after half an hour, my roux was more butternut golden than chocolate brown. I omitted hot... — HopeJohnJP Oct 1, 2009

Black Bean and Avocado Soup

Posted by *Parsley*  

Comforting and flavorful. The avocado adds a neat texture. I also went easy on the cumin and cayenne, and cooked with a 2" cinnamon stick removed before serving. An immersion blender worked nicely, too. A definite do again. — HopeJohnJP Sep 13, 2009

Potato Salad With Chipotle Peppers(A Man's Salad)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

Delish. I used a half cup each of mayo and sour cream and then mixed these with the cilantro, sugar and chipotle — I used three chiles, seeds and pith removed — and set aside. (Actually, I was a little concerned about the heat, so I mixed in 2... — HopeJohnJP Jul 5, 2009

Citrus Cole Slaw

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Sharon123  

Boy this was tasty, and I am not a cole slaw fan. We used really finely shredded cabbage, which made it delicate textured. We didn't have golden raisins, but used half regular raisins and half dried cherries. Pretty and light. Great stuff. — HopeJohnJP Jul 5, 2009

New York-Style Spinach and Ricotta Pizza

Posted by 2Bleu (Bird&Buddha)  

Just what I was seeking. I used a whole wheat crust, and I returned the pizza to the oven after adding tomatoes so they were heated, too. Very nice. — HopeJohnJP Jun 4, 2009

The Best Chili You Will Ever Taste

Posted by AmandaAOates  

Very tasty indeed, even though I changed things because of what I had on hand. I used all ground beef, sun dried tomato paste instead of tomato paste, switched black for kidney beans, and made it the day before to save time. Definitely a do again. — HopeJohnJP Mar 1, 2009

Crab Bisque Chincoteague

Posted by Linton's Seafood  

Absolutely stellar. Added 1 1/2 T. Essence and omitted lemon pepper. Made the entire soup, minus crabmeat, the day before. All I had to do was add crab and heat. Decadent and marvelous. — HopeJohnJP Dec 25, 2008

Delicious Blueberry Muffins With Crumb Topping

Posted by KC_Cooker  

Nice. I used a 12 muffin pan and baked for about 18-20 minutes. I used 1 c. white flour and 1/2 c. whole wheat flour with good results. I also used brown sugar instead of white in the crumb topping and skipped the cinnamon (not a fan). Very... — HopeJohnJP Jul 5, 2008

Tamale Pie With Cheddar & Cornmeal Crust

Posted by ~Rita~  

Easy and tasty. I didn't have tomato paste, so I used chopped sun dried tomato paste in olive oil. I also found the filling just a little quite, so I added additional salt and pepper. Rewarming the next day benefitted from pickled jalapeno... — HopeJohnJP Jun 30, 2008

Excellent. We found it a bit tart, and wound up adding enough water to make 2 1/2 quarts. — HopeJohnJP Jun 30, 2008

Marvelous! I needed a bit more breadcrumbs, pressed into the topping to keep it from boiling out. It refrigerated nicely a day in advance. — HopeJohnJP Jun 30, 2008

Egg Salad Sandwiches

Posted by Charlotte J  

Outstanding flavor! I used mayo instead of miracle whip and skipped the dill (not a fan) but all those different salt flavors — and all that butter! — made for one delicious sandwich. Thank you for sharing! — HopeJohnJP Jun 3, 2008
