Fig & Almond Bundt Cake

Posted by ~Rita~  

Needed something to do with the too-ripe figs from my CSA box. I halved the recipe and made it in a loaf pan, which worked well. The friends I served it to all liked it; personally, I do not like almond extract flavoring, so if I make it again,... — CongoGirl Oct 18, 2009

Eggplant (Aubergine)-Potato Hash

Posted by s'kat  

Just OK. As my husband said, "It was edible." It just lacked flavor for us and was kind of ho-hum. I served over brown rice and topped with cheddar. — CongoGirl Sep 5, 2009

Mexican Eggplant (Aubergine) Casserole

Posted by Engrossed  

Well, I can only give three stars because while I liked the flavor, my DH said it was a 1 out of 5... If I were to make it again, I would add corn tortillas to help soak up some of the sauce--mine was very runny. I did add more cumin and garlic... — CongoGirl Aug 30, 2009

Baked Eggplant Chili Casserole

Posted by Emjay99  

My husband and I both liked the flavor. I'm not sure what the "soft breadcrumbs" means; I used the breadcrumbs I had (fine and dry), which made the texture a little weird. Next time I will try quick oats instead. I omitted the celery because I... — CongoGirl Jul 20, 2009

Cauliflower Popcorn - Roasted Cauliflower

Posted by Julesong  

What a great way to eat cauliflower! I'm usually not a huge fan, but I loved this. As another reviewer suggested, I broiled the florets (without oil) for 15 minutes, then tossed with olive oil, garlic powder, and kosher salt. The flavor was great;... — CongoGirl Apr 20, 2009

Fajita Marinade

Posted by Chippie  

I can throw away those fajita seasoning packets in my pantry, because we will never use them again! This was absolutely amazing! My hard-to-please husband was raving. This is going in my recipe box for sure! — CongoGirl Apr 20, 2009

The Easiest, Bestest Focaccia Bread Ever!!

Posted by Manda  

Finally, success with a focaccia recipe!! This was the fifth time I've tried making focaccia (different recipe), and the first time it's worked. Hubby and I both loved it, and I can't wait to try other toppings and seasoning mixes. I subbed half... — CongoGirl Apr 20, 2009

Sourdough Honey Whole Wheat Bread

Posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)  

My husband really likes this bread for his sandwiches, but it doesn't taste much like sourdough (due, I'm sure, more to my starter than to the recipe). I replace the shortening with oil and proof it in my bread machine on the dough cycle--works... — CongoGirl Mar 30, 2009

Swiss Chard and Caramelized Onion Lasagna

Posted by SweetySJD  

I liked the flavor of this lasagna (my husband, who doesn't like chard, even liked it), but it took a VERY long time to make, so it would not be my first choice to make again for that reason. I made some modifications to suit ingredients I had on... — CongoGirl Mar 30, 2009

Spicy Rice and Kale

Posted by ugogirl  

I made this with leftover rice, so I just cooked the kale in broth for about 10 minutes. I added a can of Louisiana-style red beans in Cajun sauce and topped it with grated cheddar. (Not quite so healthy, but the cheese made the meal for me.) I... — CongoGirl Mar 11, 2009

White Pizza Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by tiersofjoy  

Oh yum! I used this on my attempt to imitate Papa Murphy's gourmet veggie pizza, and it was wonderful! I used fresh parmesean, since I didn't have parmigiano-reggiano, but it was great. — CongoGirl Feb 22, 2009

That Fabulous Tahini Cookie!

Posted by smellyvegetarian  

I can see some would not like these; tahini is an acquired taste. I think they're pretty good, and will probably whip up a small batch (10 cookies) from time to time when I need a "healthy" sweet fix. Thanks for posting! (I baked at 325 for about... — CongoGirl Feb 16, 2009

Rutabaga Cake

Posted by OceanLuvinGranny  

I had no idea what to do with the rutabaga in my box of produce, so I made this for a group gathering. Everyone loved it, and no one could determine the "secret" ingredient. The only thing I would do differently would be to add the glaze just... — CongoGirl Feb 15, 2009

Macaroni With Kale and White Beans

Posted by SAHMchef  

Good, not great. I made it just for me (hubby wouldn't eat something with beans and kale) and found it very salty. I liked it, but probably wouldn't make it again as written; I'd try to spice it up a bit. — CongoGirl Feb 11, 2009

Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup

Posted by Delish  

I made this last night and will make it again. I liked the flavor and texture a lot. Next time, I will chop the broccoli much finer and put it in immediately with the potatoes so that it is cooked to mush. It was a little crunchy for a soup the... — CongoGirl Jan 28, 2009

Southwestern Couscous

Posted by Mille® ™  

This is not my favorite way to eat couscous. Although I love all of the ingredients, the combination lacked something for me. It wasn't bad, it's just not something I'd likely make again. — CongoGirl Jan 26, 2009

Spicy Mexican Bean Burger

Yum! Whenever I can make a vegetarian dish that my husband would like me to make again, that's five stars! I omitted the corn because he doesn't like it and I used quick oats instead of flour. I also went heavy on the seasonings because we like... — CongoGirl Jan 14, 2009

Green Beans Parmesan

Posted by Golden Sunflower  

I really don't like green beans, so these were a palatable way to eat them. Not sure if I would make them again--it was a lot of work for a vegetable dish, and the cheese, which made it taste good, also makes it much higher in fat and calories... — CongoGirl Jan 12, 2009

Kale and Bean Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Gil2  

This has a nice flavor, but I wasn't super fond of the chunky kale. For the leftovers, I blended all but the beans to make a less chunky soup and liked that much better. — CongoGirl Jan 12, 2009

Butternut Squash Bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Ridgely  

My husband really liked this bread. I halved the recipe because that's how much squash I had, but it took way more flour than what half would have been. I mixed it in my bread machine, so maybe that's why. It came out great, though, and I agree... — CongoGirl Jan 12, 2009
