Fruited Rice

Posted by Sydney Mike  

I agree, this was really good. What I loved most about it, is how easy it is - most of it thrown together in the beginning, so don't be scared off by the list of ingredients, it only takes a few minutes to get this on the stove. I also really... — magpie diner Nov 18, 2009

Spicy Eggplant and Green Bean Curry

Posted by mersaydees  

I was a bit skeptical of such a quick thai curry, but it was really good. I've never used eggplant as a quick veg either, thought it might be bitter or tough without the soaking and what have you beforehand. It wasn't at all - I sauteed it quite... — magpie diner Nov 18, 2009

General Furniture Polish

Posted by Nancy Sneed  

This worked really well for me - altho I'm not sure what purpose the whisky serves...you cold barely tell is was there. It made just the right amount to do our main living area. Would double if I was doing the whole house. Thanks Nancy - I... — magpie diner Nov 14, 2009

Edamame Lo Mein

Posted by Prose  

I started off with this thinking I had all the ingredients on hand, only to find I hadn't. So it didn't end up being "edamame" lo mein, but delicious none the less with my veg substitutions. I always enjoy that lime/peanut combo, and this one is... — magpie diner Nov 12, 2009

Fig Smushed-Anise-Almond Cookies

Posted by Chef #443840  

I was just thinking of posting this because I've fallen in love with these cookies - and found it already posted here. This is not my normal choice for a cookie, but I went out and bought some anise extract...and I'm so glad I did. The dough is... — magpie diner Nov 10, 2009

Absolute Best Ever Lasagna

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Just call us your 236th happy customer. My family really enjoyed this. I more or less doubled the recipe and made a few smaller ones for the freezer. Definitely recommend doubling the sauce at least because you could use the sauce for many... — magpie diner Nov 10, 2009

Scrambled Tofu

Posted by mersaydees  

This was my first time making this at home - have always enjoyed it out. I don't know why I thought it would be harder - cuz it's not! And these are pretty much staples so I can see whipping it up when you've got little time to cook. I thought... — magpie diner Nov 7, 2009

Macaroni and Broccoli Casserole

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by keen5  

If good mac & cheese is what you're after, this is it. Simple ingredients you normally have on hand - my kids thought this was pretty great. Needed a teen friendly casserole for the babysitter and kids tonight, without resorting to something... — magpie diner Nov 6, 2009

North African Chicken

Posted by Happy Hippie  

Fantastic! This will be my new go-to recipe for chicken. It greatly relies on the spice mixture...I used the one you have posted and just whittled it down to get roughly 3 tbsp. The mint MAKES this so I wouldn't omit it, even if you have to use... — magpie diner Nov 5, 2009

Potage Marocain (Moroccan Soup)

Posted by Celticevergreen  

I was searching around for recipes to make with this massive pumpkin I have cut into today. Ran across this one and think it's pretty great - easy peasy. I made it vegan so skipped the milk and used some soyogurt. Worked out really well. I... — magpie diner Nov 3, 2009

African Pearl Barley Pumpkin Pot

Posted by Lalaloula  

I really liked this as well - thanks Loula! Made for Veg Swap. It's sort of like a barley risotto. I'm not familiar with hokkaido squash, but think it quite resembles pumpkin, except for the rind. I just happened to have a pumpkin on hand,... — magpie diner Nov 3, 2009

Beef and Macaroni Bake

Posted by Sage  

This really fit the bill to use up some leftovers this afternoon. Obviously, based on what I read, the outcome really depends on how good your gravy & beef are - in this case, they must have been pretty good because I got a number of unsolicited... — magpie diner Nov 1, 2009

Pumpkin Bars

Posted by Kim127  

Great easy recipe...very much like carrot cake, without the hassle of all that grating! I halved the amount of oil and replaced it with applesauce which didn't seem to affect the texture, based on other comments I read. Thanks Kim, glad to have... — magpie diner Oct 30, 2009

White Texas Sheet Cake

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

60 odd good reviews can't be wrong. I doubled the recipe and made a big double decker cake. As everyone else said, I have never made a cake that way, but it absolutely works and here we are 3 days later and it's still as moist as the day it was... — magpie diner Oct 27, 2009

Leek and Potato Soup (Vegan)

Posted by pornstarbarbie  

I love all the onions and garlic in this, which is one of the reasons I wanted to try it. I like most things about it, except that by not using broth, the soup was, well, watery. It lacked flavour, the marmite just wasn't enough, so I added... — magpie diner Oct 27, 2009

Veggie Loaf

Posted by Prose  

Hands down the best veggie loaf I've ever made. Easiest to make and best result. I love that this recipe didn't require sauteeing the onion etc beforehand. It's a snap to boil up some lentils, and even easier if you have leftover rice, as I... — magpie diner Oct 23, 2009

Tamarind - Date Chutney

Posted by Lorrie in Montreal  

Just echoing everything Baby Kato said - this is great chutney and it's virtually the same as what we get in restaurants/take out with samosas. Thanks Lorrie, it was exactly what I was looking for. — magpie diner Oct 21, 2009

Spelt Bread

What an experiment! I really didn't know how to rate this - so I could only rate on my experience - however it may be down to the chef and not so much the recipe. I decided to go with the full batch in trying this recipe this morning.... — magpie diner Oct 18, 2009

100% Whole Grain Wheat Bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by dbsnova  

This is an easy method to follow, and it seems pretty forgiving. I was worried my mixture was too hot as well, and was a little shy on the amount of yeast...it still worked out really well. I think next time I'll cut down on the molasses a bit... — magpie diner Oct 14, 2009

Turkey and Brown Rice Casserole

This came together really well, better than I thought. This isn't the way I would normally form a sauce, but I followed the recipe and worked through the flour lumps in the water The final product was great. Adjusted the seasoning and added... — magpie diner Oct 14, 2009
