Banana Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Loaf Cake

Posted by KITTENCAL  

This was lovely! It was moist in the middle and crisp around the edges and smelled and tasted wonderful. Just a heads up that it took about 2 hours to cook - it could be my oven, but thought I would mention it. :o) — horseplay Nov 17, 2009

Thai Noodles With Spicy Peanut Sauce

Posted by HollyGolightly  

This was perfect! I didn't have any chili sauce so I added 7-8 dashes of Tabasco... it was lovely! I made it with fresh broccoli, sliced baby carrots, and snow peas instead of frozen veggies, and served it with chicken strips marinated in homemade... — horseplay Nov 7, 2009

Funky Chicken With Sesame Noodles

Posted by Mirj  

This was lovely! I love the flavour of sesame, so I found the amounts to be perfect - I guess it just depends on if you like sesame or not! The chicken came out very nicely as well, will definitely make this again... it was great leftovers for... — horseplay Nov 7, 2009

Lebanese Lentil/Rice Pilaf With Blackened Onions

Posted by Chef Kate  

This was amazing! As a carnivore I find it so hard to find vegetarian recipes that I actually find appetizing. I loved this dish! I omitted the blackened onions because I'm not a big onion fan, though I left in the diced ones from the first step.... — horseplay Jun 30, 2009

Gingered Pear Chicken Dijon

Posted by jmelyn  

This was quite nice looking! I made a few modifications, mostly that I used bone-in skin-on legs instead - I'm always worried about the boneless/skinless drying out too much. But I prepared the sauce as directed - it was good, but a skosh too... — horseplay Jun 26, 2009

Rosemary-Red Wine Marinade

Posted by Ice Cool Kitty  

I really enjoyed the taste of rosemary, especially with the red wine, but I found this a skosh salty! It wasn't unbearable, but the steak did taste a bit like the cow'd been fished out of the Atlantic. Will definitely use this again, but maybe... — horseplay Jun 19, 2009

Calypso Rum, Pineapple, Ginger and Brown Sugar Marinade/Glaze

Posted by French Tart  

The flavours were really interesting, but I found the sauce was quite thin and didn't soak into the meat, even though I pierced it and let it sit for 24 h. It could also be because I didn't barbecue the meat, I broiled it (pork chops). I'll still... — horseplay Jun 18, 2009

Hot Stuff! Cypriot Stuffed Aubergines and Minty Cumin Yoghurt

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

I actually thought this was really great, and I'm usually a fussy eater, but I really like eggplants. The mint yogurt added an interesting touch and it was a flavourful, tasty, unique meal! Thanks for sharing! (btw, I don't know what puy lentils... — horseplay Jun 18, 2009

French Stuffed Red Bell Peppers With Fennel and Goat's Cheese

Posted by French Tart  

This was... interesting! I used feta because I could not find any goat cheese, and red wine vinegar as I find balsamic quite strong. The peppers, sundried tomatoes, and cheese went excellently together, but I might cut the fennel and onions up... — horseplay Jun 17, 2009

Gallo Pinto (Costa Rican Rice and Beans)

Posted by Kozmic Blues  

Five stars for taste, but mine looked a little funny... the black beans kind of smeared together with the rice and everything looked sort of grey. Again, the taste was excellent, but in terms of presentation, it was much better the next day in a... — horseplay Jun 15, 2009

I Can't Wait for Chole

Posted by Sue L  

I find it quite difficult to find tasty vegetarian recipes that everyone will like - this fit the bill! Next time I will probably add a skosh more spice as I felt it could use a little more punch - or maybe that's just because I completely forgot... — horseplay Jun 15, 2009

Simple Caribbean Jerk Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by princess buttercup  

Great chicken! I used chicken thighs with the skin on and I baked them as I do not have a grill. The chicken was moist and flavourful, and my family loved it, even the ones who usually don't like chicken! — horseplay Jun 15, 2009

Black Bean and Chocolate Chili

Posted by Kozmic Blues  

Wow, this was a great chili! I was afraid to try it because my bf is so used to his Mom's chili (hard to measure up against that!) but he really enjoyed this. I left out the peppers and celery because I'm fussy, but next time I will add corn as... — horseplay Jun 13, 2009

Chocolate Orange Martini

Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

Wow, this was a strong drink! I guess I'm not that used to drinking this much alcohol in a cocktail. It was quite good though, everyone quite liked it. We made some soft ganache and drizzled it on the inside of the glass before pouring the martini. — horseplay May 3, 2009

Creamy Mushroom Sauce/Gravy

Posted by KITTENCAL  

I adored this sauce; it was exactly how I thought it would be. It was earthy yet decadent and not TOO mushroomy for the Picky Ones who don't like to eat "fungus", but who actually conceded to eating half their plate this time. I served this sauce... — horseplay Feb 25, 2008

Tomato Bisque

The stars are really messing me up, I can't figure out how to make it give 5 stars!! So I'm sorry if for some reason it gives less than that. This was a great soup - I was aiming for something that tasted like the Tuscan tomato bisque from Safeway... — horseplay Feb 24, 2008

Jamaican Lentil Stew With Coconut

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by rsarahl  

This was um... interesting! I had a hard time mashing the ginger and garlic - I don't have a mortar and pestle, and the other method didn't work well for me, so I just minced them and tossed them in. I also misjudged the amount this would make and... — horseplay Jan 18, 2008

Green Beans in Dill Walnut Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Julesong  

Wow, this made a LOT of sauce! I was expecting it to be more liquidy or glaze-y, but it really was a think paste that kind of gobbed all over the beans. I diluted it a little. It was really tasty though, really refreshing and healthy. The dill,... — horseplay Jan 14, 2008
