Brussels Sprouts in Garlic Butter

Posted by Tracy K  

I cannot believe I haven't rated this recipe as I've been making it for years. This is my 'go-to' recipe for Brussels Sprouts. The sprouts are wonderful this way and couldn't be easier to make. — evelyn/athens Sep 23, 2009

Pasta Puttanesca

Posted by Julie B's Hive  

Major yum factor in this recipe! Only change was to use green olives as I had a jar of sliced in the pantry. I have to say something - with the ease that this recipe comes together and it's delicious taste (accompanied by a VERY simple green... — evelyn/athens Aug 31, 2009

Southwest Borscht and Tex/Mex Grilled Cheese

Posted by westtextazzy  

Re-rating this as the missing instructions have been included and the recipe can now be seen in its entirety. It's really yummy! The soup is quite tasty, although I would leave out the rosemary next time, but the grilled cheese sandwich with the... — evelyn/athens Aug 26, 2009

Dill-Licious Salmon and Spinach Lasagna:

Posted by EmmyDuckie  

Very nice lasagna recipe and an imaginative use of the contest ingredients. I didn't much care for the salmon in the finished lasagna and would have preferred a 'meatier', less intensely flavoured fish, but do realize the confines of the 5... — evelyn/athens Aug 22, 2009

Pasta Cheese Salad

Posted by Studentchef  

Well, this didn't go over so well - all the ingredients were really good and the instructions clear and easy to follow, but the assembled salad was just bland. The sour cream should have been worked into a tastier dressing, imo. A little vinegar... — evelyn/athens Aug 22, 2009

Easy Breezy Salad

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Studentchef  

Really sorry to give this salad such a low rating, but it just tasted like a bunch of vegetables thrown together - there was no care given to creating a vinaigrette or dressing to bring everything together and, if the lemon juice could be... — evelyn/athens Jul 14, 2009

Ceviche Lettuce Wraps

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Ice Cool Kitty  

Tasty lunch today. The only element I felt was 'out of place' were the peas...they just didn't seem to do anything to this perky salad and just added mush. Maybe another ingredient would have been better. I think I would go a little lighter with... — evelyn/athens Jul 14, 2009

Haricots Verts, Zucchini & Tomatoes Salad With Tapenade

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KateL  

Very delicious. My only caveat would be that I would have liked the tapenade to have been worked into more of a dressing, to coat the vegetables better and more evenly and it really needed a hit of acid (balsamico?). Also, I did use the optional... — evelyn/athens Jul 14, 2009

Zippy Potato Salad

Posted by Elmotoo  

Very, very good potato salad. It would have been nice to have been told what garlic scape was (the Zaar Kitchen Dictionary just brought up the generic 'garlic' entry) and to have been offered a substitution as the 1/4 cup would obviously be... — evelyn/athens Jul 14, 2009

Ranch Macaroni Salad for Kids

Posted by Ice Cool Kitty  

Made this for the kids today and they thought it was 'OK'. Trying it, I could see that it needed (atleast for my kids) more of a flavour punch from the small amounts of aromatics - except for the garlic. The directions were simply laid out and a... — evelyn/athens Jul 14, 2009

Bacon Lettuce Tomato (And More) Salad With Blue Cheese Dressing

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Picholine  

A really great 'meal' salad, that is hearty and satisfying with a good use of contest ingredients. My only issue (and thus the loss of one star) is with the cheese...the cheddar cheese in the salad and the blue cheese in the dressing were really... — evelyn/athens Jul 14, 2009

Scorched Oranges (Oranges Brulees)

Posted by K9 Owned  

This recipe is so much better than the sum of its parts - one of those simple things that are perfection. I used creme fraiche in place of the sour cream and a combo of Grand Marnier/Cointreau/Triple Sec just to provide varied orange essence. I... — evelyn/athens Jun 11, 2009

Nana's Lemon Brandy Quencher

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Island Gurl  

Very refreshing. I had a big pitcher of lemonade I'd made yesterday (good deal on lemons at the Market) and I used this just now as a 'pick-me-up'. Loved it. Tart and sweet and the brandy really gives a nice hit. — evelyn/athens Jun 11, 2009

Spicy Herbed Summer Gazpacho

This was a delicious 'beat-the-heat' recipe that we all enjoyed. The herb blend was delightful. Dare I say I spiked mine with a little vodka??? — evelyn/athens Jun 11, 2009

Kittencal's Easy Grilled Bread

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

Love grilled bread! I used the suggestion of half butter/half olive oil and melted 2 cloves of real garlic into it before brushing on the bread. Added a little dried oregano for good measure. This was so good! — evelyn/athens Jun 11, 2009

Cranberry Lemonade

Posted by NELady  

I had made up a big pitcher of lemonade from lemons I'd bought at the Market earlier today and, having cranberry juice in the cupboard, I lucked out with this recipe. It is so good. Very tart and sweet and refreshing. Added LOTS of ice. — evelyn/athens Jun 10, 2009

Pineapple Gin"kir"

I needed something refreshing and this seemed like it would fit the bill...and it did! Did make some subs, though. Had loads of lemons I picked up at the Market today and I'd made fresh lemonade, so I used that instead of the pineapple juice.... — evelyn/athens Jun 10, 2009

Classic French Green Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Dreamer in Ontario  

Too hot to cook here so I made a couple of salads. I used a bag of mixed baby lettuce/spinach leaves for this to make it even easier. Also used roquefort instead of brie and fleur de sel. Deliciously cooling. — evelyn/athens Jun 10, 2009

Iceberg Lettuce Wedges W/Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

Posted by Wildflour  

Couldn't cook today - it was too hot. This is a real heat-buster. Used roquefort in place of the bleu and creme fraiche in place of the sour cream. Fleur de sel was my salt of choice. Everything else as is. Delicious. — evelyn/athens Jun 10, 2009
