Crab Cakes

Posted by pgserver6  

This is a great recipe but I'm only giving it 4 stars because it was way too salty - and coming from me that's a lot, because I salt everything. Next time I will omit the salt, and I bet it will be "five star" crabcake. I only made half of the... — Kim in Walnut Creek Jan 3, 2009

Grilled Cheese, Diner Style

Posted by Dawnab  

I am not rating the recipe with stars because I messed it up (hard to believe with only three ingredients!), so I'm posting this as more of a warning - do not exceed 1 tb of mayo - I mistakenly put that much on each piece, and our sandwiches were... — Kim in Walnut Creek Jan 3, 2009

1-Hour Ham and Bean Soup

Posted by Kelly M.  

Terrific soup, and easy. I too will use another can of beans next time. They don't sell Great Northern Beans in my area, so I used white kidney. Thanks for the recipe! — Kim in Walnut Creek Jan 3, 2009

Lobster Bisque

Posted by HeidiSue  

Terrific recipe. Next time I will reduce the paprika a bit, but I used bitersweet paprika, so that was probably why the flavor was a little strong. I might also try either straining or blending the soup next time before adding the lobster - not... — Kim in Walnut Creek Jan 2, 2009

Crab Dipping Sauce

Posted by Sandi (From CA)  

This was a real surprise! We steamed crab and I made this sauce to try something different. I tasted it after everything was mixed together and didn't like it at all, the fish sauce was overpowering. I added a little more vinegar and lime... — Kim in Walnut Creek Jan 24, 2008

Chicken Tacos

Posted by *OzMan*  

I was looking for something to do with my chicken leftovers and found this wonderful recipe. Didn't have any salsa (green or otherwise) so I did without, and it was still mouthwatering. A definite five star, just like the shredded chicken... — Kim in Walnut Creek Jan 3, 2008

Homemade Pomegranate Molasses

Posted by "Pink Eyed" Jim Cortina  

This is so perfect and easy for when you can't find pomegranate molasses in the store, thanks so much for sharing. I did find that I needed a little more sugar (about an extra tablespoon) but maybe that's just personal preference. — Kim in Walnut Creek Nov 14, 2007

Tuna Tartare (Barefoot Contessa) Ina Garten

Posted by Manami  

Fantastic. The recipe is for 50 servings, so I cut it down to a quarter (eyeballing the measurements on the ingredients), and three of us finished it off as an appetizer. I didn't have seseme seeds, but did have fresh tuna my husband caught in... — Kim in Walnut Creek Nov 14, 2007

That Mustard???

Posted by southern chef in louisiana  

Wonderful! I made this for corned beef and cabbage. My husband will only eat yellow mustard with the corned beef, no matter what else I make to accompany it, but he LOVED this (and so did I). I cut down on the sugar by nearly half, it was still... — Kim in Walnut Creek Sep 22, 2007

Steak Marinade

Posted by LuuvBunny  

I tried this thinking that it would make a nice marinade but believing we would still want steak sauce or some kind of condiment, as we always do (my husband puts horseradish on all red meat). It was so good we both agreed it needed nothing.... — Kim in Walnut Creek Apr 14, 2007

Spinach Salad with Honey Bacon Dressing

Posted by Hey Jude  

Excellent. I love spinach salad but am not fond of the traditional warm dressing. This was a very nice alternative. My mother-in-law said "this dressing is a keeper." Enough said. — Kim in Walnut Creek Apr 14, 2007

Corned Beef and Cabbage in Guinness

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Dee514  

This was the best corned beef we have ever eaten, bar none. We like stronger flavors so I doubled everything - 2 beers and twice the seasonings. It was WONDERFUL. The brisket I had was 4 1/4 pounds for three people AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY... — Kim in Walnut Creek Jan 15, 2007

Honey Roasted Pork Loin

Posted by Lisa in Oregon  

We loved this recipe!! After reading a couple of the reviews, I doubled the sauce and was glad I did. I didn't have orange juice so I substituted apple juice and it was absolutely delicious. We served it with roasted potatoes (and salad) and the... — Kim in Walnut Creek Nov 28, 2006

Pot Sticker or Dumpling Sauce

Posted by Hey Jude  

I always have a bag of potstickers in my freezer for a quick lunch or appetizer. I've made them for my husband several times, always serving the sauce that comes with them on the side. He's never been a fan. This time I didn't have any of the... — Kim in Walnut Creek Nov 26, 2006

Braised Baby Bok Choy

We loved, loved, loved this recipe. Before we finished eating, we were already planning to use the sauce to stir fry asparagus, other misc vegetables, and sliced chicken breast. This is the perfect stir fry sauce, and so easy. I didn't have... — Kim in Walnut Creek Nov 16, 2006

Lime Glazed Scallops on Creamy Wasabi Fettuccine

I was expecting an asian style pasta (given the ingredients) but it was a very mild cream sauce with a bit of a strange aftertaste. Nonetheless, I thank you for sharing the recipe, as it's fun to try something new and we can't all love the... — Kim in Walnut Creek Nov 16, 2006

Sugar and Nut Glazed Brie

Posted by LMillerRN  

Wow! I tried this tonight but didn't have 24 hours to chill the sugar and nut glaze. I put it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, and it still came out fabulous. Other than that, I made the recipe exactly as described except when I served... — Kim in Walnut Creek Nov 12, 2006

Perfect Grilled Filet Mignon
