Moroccan Spiced Roast Potatoes

Posted by Shuzbud  

These potatoes were yummy, just a nice little burn on them. 2nd time: we are trying to switch to sweet potatoes, and this also worked well on those. — Michelle from Central Time Nov 18, 2009

Chickpeas and Rice

Posted by jkworth  

This was excellent. We made it with olive oil instead of butter, substituted a little pasta sauce for our lack of sun-dried tomatoes, and used two cups' worth of brown rice instead of the basmati. We were also short on the parsley but I think it... — Michelle from Central Time Nov 18, 2009

Brown Rice and Walnuts

Basically made this, adding diced onion and raisins from no. 102845. Will do this again. — Michelle from Central Time Nov 9, 2009

Vegetarian Baked Stuffed Red Bell Peppers

Posted by Strawberry Girl  

These were good, not too hot. Made enough to stuff six peppers. — Michelle from Central Time Oct 11, 2009

Old Fashioned Corn and Potato Chowder

Posted by Malriah  

D made this for us and it was tasty, though I think he would like to try another recipe that's a bit more jazzy. We sprinkled shredded cheddar on top of each bowl and the two of us polished it all off that day. Main problem: adding the flour... — Michelle from Central Time Oct 7, 2009

Monterey Beans and Cheese

Posted by pattikay in L.A.  

I was making this tonight from the cookbook (a childhood love), and thought I would see if it's on the Zaar. Well, you beat me to it. It's nice because you have the tomato-cheese sauce kind of like in spaghetti-o's but the chili powder kicks it... — Michelle from Central Time May 5, 2009

Microwave Lemon Garlic Broccoli

Posted by mama's kitchen  

I skipped adding the water since our frozen broccoli seems to have enough moisture in it to steam properly. I will also have to play with the proportions to get them right for just the two of us. It was really tasty, though, and we gobbled a... — Michelle from Central Time Apr 27, 2009

Double-Bean Pasta With Tomatoes

Posted by What's Cooking?  

Changes: We skipped the shallots since we didn't have any, and used extra green beans. I forgot to double the canned items when I doubled the recipe, but I think the chickpeas were better this way, while the tomatoes would've been better at full... — Michelle from Central Time Apr 22, 2009

Pineapple Dessert

Posted by Michelle S.  

This is very similar to a family recipe for "Rapelje Dessert" (probably named after Rapelje, Montana). My great-grandmother's notebook attributes it to a Mrs. Dunn. It has 1/2 c. butter creamed with 1 c. sugar, then twoo beaten egg yolks added.... — Michelle from Central Time Apr 21, 2009

Green Bean Soup

Posted by TifferCooks  

We have a similar family recipe (low German Mennonite). It has carrots and the summer savory, uses 2T. sour cream for the dairy, and has different proportions on the potatoes and beans. Serious comfort food. — Michelle from Central Time Mar 14, 2009

Prudhomme's Cajun Cauliflower in Garlic Sauce

Posted by Molly53  

I microwaved frozen cauliflower instead of blanching, skipped the Tabasco and substituted dry cilantro based on what we had in the house. Threw all spices in with the cauliflower to spread around in buttery skillet. It was quick and yummy, with... — Michelle from Central Time Feb 24, 2009

Black Beans and Barley

Posted by lucy k.  

We didn't have any hot sauce, so we just skipped that, figuring we could add additional spice to taste. Well, it was a nice mildly spicy dish without it. We will be making it again! It took me 20-30 minutes to get it going, but after that did... — Michelle from Central Time Feb 9, 2009

Fusilli with Garbanzo Beans

Posted by jmelyn  

This was pretty good. We'll be having it again. Since I made a half batch, I should've put in more oregano as Amlaphq suggested. It did not come out too vinegar-y, despite the fact that I put in too much. I do wonder, though, whether I should... — Michelle from Central Time Jan 21, 2009

Pakistani Dhal

Posted by hipbonez  

I didn't think I could possibly eat anything with half a gingerroot in it, so I only put in half a teaspoon. This turned out to give it a pleasant mild warmth, and even though I messed up the timing and had to let it sit around too long, D said... — Michelle from Central Time Jan 20, 2009

Green Beans with Lentils

Posted by Anu  

A good, tasty recipe. Most of the prep is cutting up the beans. We used 8 oz. frozen green beans and 4 T. lentils, and we added onion, garlic, fenugreek, and a little curry powder. Something in it was too bitter for us, so we'll try it without... — Michelle from Central Time Jan 17, 2009

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Soup

Posted by Lysa  

This was our first venture into sweet potatoes, and was tasty and filling. Like many soups, it made a LOT for just the two of us. We did it on the stovetop (not good about planning ahead) and it simmered up just fine. — Michelle from Central Time Jan 17, 2009

Fast, Simple, and Delicious Vegetarian Chili

Posted by Twinkle  

This looked a little "funny" to us carnivores because our TVP had not been colored, but it tasted good and went together well. We used 2 cans of kidney beans, 1 c. TVP and 1 c. water (microwaved to expand), a 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes and 2 sm... — Michelle from Central Time Jan 17, 2009

Macaroni and Cheese With Vegetables

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jellyqueen  

I made this when I had a sore throat and wanted a forgiving texture but also some nutrition. It took a lot of pots on the stove but didn't need baking, and it was fairly adaptable. I put in peas and canned chicken instead of the pepper and... — Michelle from Central Time Jan 17, 2009
