Vegetarian "meatballs"

Posted by Kathleen McDonald  

These re tasty! I'm not a vegetarian (any more), and DH is a decidedly meat & potatoes guy, but even he ate a "meatball sandwich" of them and thought they were OK. I don't think these would really fool anyone, but they're awfully close. My main... — Meredith K. Nov 7, 2009

Beef and Vegetable Casserole

Posted by beckas  

This was OK, but not what I expected. The suggestion to serve over rice to me implied there would be more sauce/gravy, and there really was very little. Maybe my potato chunks were too small, but they were falling apart after the full hour. If I... — Meredith K. Oct 29, 2009

Pineapple-Black Bean Enchiladas

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by mrib  

This was very good, although I did add a lot of spices, and I think it would have been pretty bland without. I added about 1 Tbl chili powder, 1 tsp cumin and 1/2 tsp coriander. The pineapple added an interesting and surprisingly good dimension. I... — Meredith K. Oct 27, 2009

Oatmeal Pancakes

Posted by Lennie  

These are very good, tasty and filling. I made these for my son and his friend after a sleepover, and I knew I wouldn't have a lot of time to get everything together. So I mixed the batter the night before, and stored it in the fridge, covered.... — Meredith K. Oct 17, 2009

Chewy Cocoa Brownies

Posted by Kelleigh  

These had good flavor, but are very crumbly, so I'll keep looking for the "perfect" brownie recipe. — Meredith K. Sep 10, 2009

Calzones

Posted by Kathleen Talbot  

These were GREAT! My DH said they were the best things I'd ever baked! And he almost never comments at all without prompting. I'm really only rating the dough and method, since I already had some filling. The dough was very good and so easy!... — Meredith K. Sep 3, 2009

Honey Oatmeal Bread - 2 Lb. Loaf

Posted by Charmie777  

For my taste, this was just too sweet. It also was a little too much volume for my machine. And the top was sunken in, though since I've had that problem before, I'm not sure it was the recipe to blame. (Haven't yet figured out how to prevent... — Meredith K. Aug 23, 2009

Zucchini Crust Pizza

Posted by Chef #461400  

This was pretty tasty, and I'll probably make it again. But make no mistake: it is NOT like pizza dough! Don't expect the finished product to be picked up with your hand and eaten like a slice. I thought the texture of the "crust" was a lot more... — Meredith K. Jul 26, 2009

Julie's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by * Pamela *  

I didn't like these much at all. Yes, they're soft, but they have a texture akin to a cupcake or a pancake. Not much CHARACTER, which I think a cookie needs. I made the recipe exactly as written, although I was a bit confused about the size of the... — Meredith K. Jun 12, 2009

Roasted Sweet Potato and Feta Ravioli

Posted by Chef Kate  

I like the filling for these raviolis very much, but I wasn't happy with wonton skins as a substitute for actual ravioli pasta. I wasn t wild about sage butter, but then I had to use dried sage leaves... As I said, I did like the filling, so I'll... — Meredith K. May 9, 2009

Cauliflower Cheese Pie With Grated Potato Crust

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MarieAlice  

This recipe is EXACTLY the one from Mollie Katzen's original Moosewood Cookbook, so let's give credit! It's very good. I made this last night with broccoli, and that works very well with the sharp cheddar. My dish is 10", so I used slightly more... — Meredith K. Apr 16, 2009

Simple Ranch House Meatloaf

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Derf  

This gets 5 stars because it slices very well, which is SO important in a meatloaf. DH says I should not change a thing, so I want to mention what tiny things I did change the first time (so I don't forget!). I GRATED the onion (a trick I saw once... — Meredith K. Apr 7, 2009

Balsamic Roast Italian Chicken

Posted by Marie  

This was good, and the chicken did stay very moist. I had 3 breasts, and the skin was already slipping off 2 of them when I got them out of the package, so I'm not sure I got enough of the marinade well in place. I put the pieces on a rack for... — Meredith K. Mar 31, 2009

Baby's Jalapeño Cheese Cornbread

Posted by Vicki in CT  

This was pretty good, and I''ll probably make it again with a few changes. I''ll cut the salt in half, or maybe to just 1 tsp, and I won't bake as long. A crispy bottom sounds nice, but mine got too brown and the sides stuck. — Meredith K. Feb 9, 2009

Crock Pot Shredded Beef Sandwiches

Posted by Fauve  

The sauce for this has a great flavor, and the meat shredded very nicely. I'd like to try it with a better cut of meat, but all I had was chuck... I thought there were too many onions & peppers relative to the amount of meat, though, and I LOVE... — Meredith K. Feb 5, 2009

Spinach-Mushroom Orzo With Toasted Walnuts

Posted by KITTENCAL  

This was very good, but I think it could use a bit more spinach and fewer mushrooms, which I'd shop smaller than slices. Next time I will try feta cheese instead of parmesan, and add some oregno. The recipe didn't make clear whether all the liquid... — Meredith K. Jan 14, 2009

CHEWY Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by Kat  

These were good, and they do stay soft, but I'll keep looking for that perfect chewy choc chip cookie. To be fair, I had 'Zaar halve the recipe, which resulted in 2 eggs — maybe that's too much. But the "dough" was extremely soft; no way could... — Meredith K. Aug 4, 2008

Chicken With Tabbouleh (Barefoot Contessa) Ina Garten

Posted by cookiedog  

This was good, but for me, it was WAY TOO SALTY. I also think that the chicken didn't really add to the appeal of tabouleh as I've made it before. I'd rather have a more traditional tabouleh, with chicken separately. — Meredith K. Jul 21, 2008

Romaldo's Carnitas

Posted by Miss Annie  

I'm sorry, Miss Annie, but this seemed like a run-of-the-mill pot roast to me. And I could have done it more cheaply and with less mess in the crockpot. Although I was generous with the spices (more than stated in the recipe), it didn't result in... — Meredith K. Jun 6, 2008

Vegan Applesauce-Oatmeal Drops

Posted by Smileyfroggy  

These definitely have potential, hence the 3 stars. I agree that these are way too sweet, so as I start tweaking this recipe for myself, I'll start by cutting the sugar to at most 1/4 cup. I'll also incorporate some whole wheat flour, either... — Meredith K. May 2, 2008
