Curried Couscous and Chicken Salad.

Posted by akgrown  

I used some chicken poached in broth and stuck pretty much exactly to the recipe. I was worried that the amount of mayonnaise would make it heavy or greasy, but it turned out quite light and just moist enough. I found it to be a good mix of... — LightEra Jun 18, 2009

Crab and Shrimp Crepes With Mornay Sauce

Posted by Dawn  

I can't believe how well this turned out. Worth every bit of effort. I appreciated the well-written instructions. We also used some leftover filling plus the leftover Mornay sauce on fettuccine and it was incredible. — LightEra Feb 23, 2009

Chicken with Prosciutto

Posted by ktdid  

Absolutely phenomenal. So quick and easy to make, and my kids request it constantly. We never have a bite left. Flavors are fantastic, chicken is perfectly tender — I can't say enough good things about this recipe. — LightEra Feb 23, 2009

Naan

Posted by pattikay in L.A.  

Phenomenally easy, simple ingredients, and I liked the texture better than that of many naans — a little moister and chewier, but plenty fluffy for my preference and much easier than using yeast. Four stars because it was a bit bland. I will add... — LightEra Feb 23, 2009

Stuffed Eggplant Recipe

Posted by Chef #610952  

Relatively quick to make, and the result was tasty. With a little extra chopping to make the veggies extra small (and pureeing the eggplant) and shredded mozzarella melted on top, even my 5-year-old approved. — LightEra Feb 23, 2009

Baked Cheese Crepes - Giada De Laurentiis

Posted by Julesong  

Easy to make, and rated highly by my 5- and 9-year-olds (especially when called "pizza crepes"). I didn't have the farmer's cheese, so I used just the buffalo mozzarella. I think I would have preferred a little more taste to the filling (garlic?... — LightEra Feb 3, 2009

Cheese Blintzes

I have my own crepe recipe, so I used only the filling recipe here... but what a hit. I've gotten more requests for this recipe and more requests from my family for another batch than I have for anything else I've made them. I'm do wish I didn't... — LightEra Feb 3, 2009

Cream of Mango Soup

Posted by Redneck Epicurean  

Yum yummity yum yum. My family says it might be the best thing I've ever made for them. I didn't have heavy cream, so I used 4 cups of 2% milk and about 125g creme fraiche. Also subbed packaged lemon juice for fresh — unbelievably tasty... — LightEra Oct 22, 2008

Chocolate Surprise Cupcakes

Posted by Mysterygirl  

I'd never made cupcakes from scratch before, but these were easy and amazingly yummy. Since my daughter took them in for her birthday (frosted with Cream Cheese Frosting #6536) I've had no less than three parents ask for the recipe, and the... — LightEra Jun 22, 2008

Buttermilk Biscuits

Posted by spatchcock  

I'm a Southerner living abroad and after months without, I had to have my biscuit fix. Although I'm not sure I'd call it a Popeye's copycat, the taste and texture of these was right on the money for what I wanted of a homemade buttermilk biscuit.... — LightEra Jun 22, 2008

Buttermilk Rhubarb Crumble Muffins

Posted by akgrown  

Holy moly, could there be a more perfect muffin recipe? The crumble sort of melted to make a sugary crust on top which wasn't quite what I expected, but it was delicious. The texture of the muffins themselves was unbelievable — fluffy and... — LightEra Jun 22, 2008

Basil-Walnut Pesto

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by dahlia  

My 8-year-old daughter's class was doing a cooking unit, so I helped several kids prepare this in a very simple kitchen for the whole class. It was easy for the kids to make and a huge hit with all of them, even the ones who initially made faces... — LightEra Apr 14, 2008

Ihop Buttermilk Pancakes

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by x0xMandYx0x  

Living in the Netherlands we get lots of good pannenkoeken (which are like crepes), but we were craving some American-style buttermilk pancakes. Wow, did these fit the bill. Just the right density and a great flavor. I added about 1/2 c.... — LightEra Apr 6, 2008

Pasta With Cream and Pancetta

Posted by melle_escaton  

My kids and I loved it. We used serrano ham instead of pancetta since that's what I had sitting around, and added a maybe a tsp. of olive oil to get the onion and garlic to cook properly since the serrano doesn't have as much fat. The ham wasn't... — LightEra Feb 25, 2008

Currant Cream Scones

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by BrendaM  

I've tried four different scone recipes recently, and this is the best by far. It was a little time-consuming the first time through, but the prep has gotten quite short after making them half a dozen times or so. I have substituted skim and 2%... — LightEra Feb 20, 2008

Warm Potato Salad With Brie

Posted by green_sleeves  

I can't believe how quick and yummy this was. It was a really easy addition to a school night dinner. I used balsamic vinegar and omitted the onions to make it more kid friendly; it was tasty enough that both kids (ages 4 and 8) devoured it. — LightEra Feb 18, 2008
