Mexican Chicken Wrap * Chicken Fajita * Applebee's Copycat

Posted by Debber  

This is pretty good, though it would have been easier to assemble everything in the tortilla without first putting the tortillas in the oven for the cheese to melt (they were very hot!). This would be a great snack. — Jen in Victoria, BC Nov 5, 2009

Curried Pumpkin Soup

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

I made a few changes. I omitted the mushrooms and reduced the broth (I used chicken broth) to 2.5 cups. I also added more salt, garlic powder to taste, another teaspoon of curry powder and some red curry paste for a little bit of spice. In my... — Jen in Victoria, BC Nov 4, 2009

Crispy Oven-Fried Cod Fish

Posted by KITTENCAL  

The fish had great texture - a nice crispy outer layer. However, this had little to no taste. I couldn't taste any of the herbs, aside from the cayenne, which I found disappointing. I had hoped for a subtle lemon flavour, due to the lemon pepper.... — Jen in Victoria, BC Sep 17, 2009

World's Best Grilled Steak

Posted by Chef Dee  

I was very wary of this recipe at first, given that it was made up mostly of soy sauce. However, I gave it a try tonight, using low-sodium soy sauce and marinating for about 4 hours. It was delicious! I am very happy to find a marinade that only... — Jen in Victoria, BC Jul 1, 2009

Kittencal's Italian Breaded Baked Parmesan Pork Chops

Posted by KITTENCAL  

These were pretty good, though I am not sure if I would make them again. As far as I am concerned, pork chops taste best off the grill. However, the breaded part of these chops was pretty good - I wonder if it might go better with chicken? Thanks... — Jen in Victoria, BC Jul 1, 2009

Armenian Herb Marinade Grilled Chicken Breasts

Posted by Stacky5  

This marinade was okay. I marinated 2 chicken breasts (using half of the recipe) for about 9 hours. I wouldn't want any longer than that, as the lemon flavour was quite strong. I might make this again but it wasn't anything I loved. — Jen in Victoria, BC Jun 30, 2009

Finger-Licking Chicken Marinade

Posted by echo echo  

This is a great light marinade for chicken. I marinated for about 3 hours and it came out perfectly (great flavours - more time not needed). — Jen in Victoria, BC Jun 20, 2009

Macrina's Orzo Salad With Cucumber, Bell Pepper, Basil and Feta

Posted by DR. House  

Great light salad that matches perfectly with BBQ meats. I followed the advice of others and only used part of the dressing (until I thought there was enough). I followed the rest of the recipe perfectly, although I wouldn't use walnuts next time... — Jen in Victoria, BC Jun 14, 2009

Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato, and Basil Couscous Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Julesong  

Great salad! I did make some changes, though. I only used 1/2 cup of couscous and therefore half of the water, but used the same amount of other ingredients. I also doubled the salt and balsamic vinegar. Thanks for the recipe! — Jen in Victoria, BC Jun 8, 2009

Pasta Sauce #1

Posted by MizEmerilLagasse  

Delicious!! I didn't think I could make a good homemade pasta sauce, but was I ever wrong! I loved that I got to use canned tomatoes for this as well - it gave a good texture. Like another recipe reviewer, I also used a potato masher to break up... — Jen in Victoria, BC Jun 4, 2009

Beautiful Bagels - (using bread machine to make the dough)

Posted by Karin...  

These smelled great and looked great and tasted pretty good out of the oven. However, once toasted, they had a rather chewy and elastic texture. I wonder if this might be because there is no added fat (margarine, oil etc.)? These are best eaten... — Jen in Victoria, BC Jun 4, 2009

Best Grilled Pork Chops

Posted by Kate in Ontario  

I loved the idea of using lemon pepper for seasoning and thought it suited the pork well, although I would perhaps use a little less of it next time. I marinated my pork chops for 9 hours and found them extremely salty, although I had used... — Jen in Victoria, BC May 31, 2009

Ginger-Lime Marinade for Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

A pretty good marinade (I love the lime flavour!) but I still feel like it is missing something. I marinated my chicken for about 7 hours and I definitely wouldn't have done any longer. I think the acids had partially cooked the chicken, which... — Jen in Victoria, BC May 29, 2009

Teriyaki Marinade

Posted by Bayhill  

This is a pretty good marinade, but it is definitely not teriyaki. I like the fruitiness of the pineapple juice - it made a nice change and worked great with BBQ salmon. — Jen in Victoria, BC May 27, 2009

The Perfect Hamburgers

Excellent burger recipe! Without a doubt, the best I have made. I was a little worried, as the mixture was quite moist and no breadcrumbs were used, but it turned out perfectly and the burgers had no trouble sticking together. I did substitute... — Jen in Victoria, BC May 25, 2009

Spicy Hoisin Marinade for Chicken

Posted by KITTENCAL  

I am giving this 4 stars because although I didn't care for it, my husband thought it was good. The taste of the hoisin sauce is quite pronounced, so if you don't like it that much (I prefer it with other ingredients dominating), don't try this... — Jen in Victoria, BC May 25, 2009

Marinade for Grilled Vegetables

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Barb Gertz  

I would rate this as "okay". The marinade smelled wonderful but after about 4 hours marinading on bell peppers, red onions, mushrooms, asparagus and zucchini, I could only taste the marinade on the mushrooms. I think I would prefer just a bit of... — Jen in Victoria, BC May 25, 2009

Kittencal's Strawberry Spinach Salad

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Excellent salad! This dressing would work great on other salads, too. I like the idea of adding feta to the salad - I hadn't done that with previous Strawberry Spinach salads before. — Jen in Victoria, BC May 23, 2009
