Click here for recipe Cooking Light, JULY 2002 Yes, they're fudgy. The batter is really thick and you need to really spread it into the pan. I only had dark chocolate cocoa powder so they were more like blackies than brownies. *snort* I don't now if CTM liked them all that much, but I sure did and will make them again with regular cocoa powder.

Herbed Pork with Sauteed Wild Mushrooms
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, July 2002 Yeah, I'm a blogger slacker! This was okay. The picture looks better than I thought it was going to taste. I used Penzeys Chicago Steak Seasoning. I think it was a little overpowering. I didn't get to taste the mushrooms all that much. The sauce was just that...sauce. I thought the mushrooms would add more flavor to it, but they didn't really. I don't know if I'd make this again. Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board Large nonstick … [Read more...]
Creamy Fish Chowder
Click here for recipe EatingWell: January/February 1993 Amazingly, this was pretty good. I was really trying to find cod at BJ's but just couldn't so I settled for tilapia. Sometimes it's okay, sometimes not. This time it's not. Sometimes the tilapia has a flavor I just don't like. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's like a musty taste. I don't know. Being as I used center cut bacon, I put a couple of slices in the pan. It didn't create a lot of grease, so I just left it all in the … [Read more...]
Barbecue Pulled Chicken
Click here for recipe EatingWell: February/March 2006 I had such high hopes for this recipe. The sauce just didn't taste like barbecue sauce. It needed some salt. I usually don't cook with it, but this recipe really could have used it. The sauce needs to be thickened, so I would add some tomato paste at the end to make it thicker. It wasn't sweet, so I would add some brown sugar. I probably would make it with ketchup instead of the tomato sauce. Yeah, it just didn't taste all that great. It … [Read more...]
Braised Cabbage and Leeks with Turkey Sausage
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, January 2002 This is similar to a recipe I usually make. Bavarian something...I can't remember. Anyway, I wanted something just a little different to make with the sausage. This was just a little different. True to form, I didn't really follow the recipe. I had a can of sauerkraut as I was going to make the Bavarian dinner, so I drained it reserving about half of the liquid. I sauteed two medium leeks with the cabbage. Then added three chopped carrots, … [Read more...]
French-Style Shrimp Salad
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, JULY 2006 HOLY COW!! This was filling! For a weeknight, it does require some prep work. I would cook the green beans, eggs, potatoes and shrimp that weekend. It would be too much to try and cook everything that night and have it chilled. There was so much stuff in this salad. I was so full!! I didn't follow the dressing recipe. I simply added some dijon mustard to my Good Seasons dressing I had in the fridge. Made it easy and very tasty. It was even … [Read more...]
Boneless Pork Chops With Mushrooms & Thyme
Click here for recipe EatingWell: August/September 2005 It was pork marsala with mustard. Pretty good! Except, I didn't have marsala. I had sherry. It was still pretty good. I had really thick pork chops, so I sliced them in half horizontally to keep the portions down and the cooking time quick. I probably added way more mushrooms than called for, but what can that hurt? They were good. It was easy and I probably will make it again or some version of it Measuring cups and … [Read more...]
Turkish Chicken Thighs
Click here for recipe EatingWell: April/May 2005 These were good. Not as good as the spicy yogurt marinated chicken thighs, but it doesn't call for garam masala. *snort* I wanted to try something a little different with roasted chicken thighs. These were good and easy to make. I served them with some roasted zucchini. Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board … [Read more...]
