  • Double-Chocolate Cream Pie

    Double-Chocolate Cream Pie

      Double-Chocolate Cream Pie COOKING LIGHT, JULY 2000 I make this, but have learned to vary the recipe a little bit.  The filling is VERY dense, but VERY good!  I usually buy a pre-made, refrigerated pie crust because it’s easier.  I do need pie weights though…  I have some rice that I use to pre-bake the…

  • K’s Fruit and Fiber Bars

    This is a recipe from CTM’s step-mom. K’s Fruit and Fiber Bars are lowfat and full of fiber. They’re VERY sweet, but I’m sure you can cut back on that a bit…       These are addictive. They’re healthy. They’re lowfat. What’s not to like? I’ve used dried cranberries, cherries, blueberries, apricots, figs, raising,…

    Open-Faced Burgers with Onion-Mushroom Topping

    Open-Faced Burgers with Onion-Mushroom Topping Cooking Light June 2000 I made these tonight. I skipped the vinegar. It just didn’t sound right.

  • Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

    Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

  • Chicken and Mushrooms with Marsala Wine Sauce

    Chicken and Mushrooms with Marsala Wine Sauce

    Chicken and Mushrooms with Marsala Wine Sauce Cooking Light, September 2010 It’s a chicken marsala. I like the addition of the porcini mushrooms.

  • Shrimp Fra Diavolo

    Shrimp Fra Diavolo

    Shrimp Fra Diavolo January 2010 Yeah…a teaspoon of crushed red pepper is a bit too spicy for me. I couldn’t taste much else. I would cut back on that to make it less spicy so you can actually taste the tomato sauce and shrimp. It was quick to throw together and made for a pretty…

  • Eggplant Bolognese

    Eggplant Bolognese

    Eggplant Bolognese Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2010 Um….so….I made this but haven’t really “eaten” it yet. It made a large batch of sauce (I’m sure I added more eggplant than it called for) so I put half of it in the freezer. The next day, I ate it as like a bruschetta type topping for some…

  • Roasted Banana Pudding

    Roasted Banana Pudding

    Roasted Banana Pudding Cooking Light, AUGUST 2011 Freaky…looks like it’s floating. LOL. So, I’ve tried this twice since the recipe came out in the magazine.

  • Linguine with Spicy Shrimp

    Linguine with Spicy Shrimp recipe Cooking Light, June 2010 This recipe was okay. The cream didn’t thick, so it just turned into a creamy broth instead of a sauce.

  • Latin Baked Chicken

    Latin Baked Chicken recipe Cooking Light, June 2010 I wish the picture was on the website. It looked sooooooooo good and that’s why I wanted to make it.

  • BLT Bread Salad

    BLT Bread Salad

    BLT Bread Salad recipe Cooking Light, June 2010 It was okay. It wasn’t okay with red wine vinegar and oil. I would do a balsamic vinegar and oil or make Good Seasons dressing with red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar. I think I let the bread toast too long. I think it needed to be…

  • Tandoori Chicken

    Tandoori Chicken Recipe EatingWell: January/February 1999 Very onion-y, but very yummy! I thought this was going to be similar to crack chicken, but it wasn’t.

    Spinach Risotto with Shrimp and Goat Cheese

    Spinach Risotto with Shrimp and Goat Cheese recipe Cooking Light MAY 2009I didn’t like this at all. I think it was the goat cheese part that I didn’t really like.

    Three-Step Taco Salad recipe Cooking Light, July 2003 Yeah, it was taco salad. I like the other recipe better for some reason. There were WAY too many black beans. I would cut that in half.

    Multi-Grain Waffles recipe EatingWell Magazine, Spring 2003   I was looking for a waffle recipe that was similar in calories to the Eggo Nutri-Grain waffles and found this one. The initial investment was more than a box of waffles, but I’ll get more waffles out of the ingredients in the long run.   I didn’t…

  • Pork Chops Marsala

    Pork Chops Marsala

    Pork Chops Marsala recipe Cooking Light, April 2007   We had some really thick pork chops, so I split them in half for more portion control and to speed up the cooking time for the chops. I started the mashed potatoes, then the eggplant, then went to work on prepping the ingredients for the pork…

  • Salmon with Mustard Cream

    Salmon with Mustard Cream

    Salmon with Mustard Cream recipe Cooking Light Superfast Suppers, Oxmoor House, January 2003   CTM made the sauce before I got home. I tasted it. It didn’t really have a lot of mustard flavor to it, so I added probably another tablespoon or so of Dijon. Then I could taste the mustard.   I don’t…

  • Spicy Asian Noodles with Chicken

    Spicy Asian Noodles with Chicken

    Spicy Asian Noodles with Chicken recipe Cooking Light, March 2009 Rice noodles are really messy. When you’re trying to break them apart, they fly all over the counter. Do not believe the directions on the package as to how to “cook” them. Mine said to soak in warm water 2 minutes. Yeah, not so much.…

  • Roasted Paprika Chicken

    Roasted Paprika Chicken

    Roasted Paprika Chicken recipe Southern Living, November 2007 So, I’ve made this twice and apparently haven’t blogged about it once. We have a convection oven with a rotisserie spit, so I usually make this in that oven instead of roasting it in the regular oven. It’s a lot cooler in our kitchen when we use…

  • Chicken Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Garlic

    Chicken Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Garlic

    Chicken Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Garlic recipe Cooking Light, September 2003 I don’t know about this one. It was okay. The goat cheese kind of curdled in the sauce and I did have it at a simmer, not a boil. I used a log of President goat cheese I got at BJ’s. Not sure…

  • Sautéed Sole with Browned Butter and Capers

    Sautéed Sole with Browned Butter and Capers

      Sautéed Sole with Browned Butter recipe Cooking Light, August 2009 YUM! O M G this was delicious! It will definitely be on the make again list. We don’t have butter, so I used ICBNB and it turned out just fine. The “butter” browned just like regular butter would have. I was concerned with this,…

  • Spicy Cucumber Salad with Peanuts

    Spicy Cucumber Salad with Peanuts

    Spicy Cucumber Salad with Peanuts recipe Cooking Light, June 2001 WOW these were really spicy! It was more overall hot as opposed to burn. If that makes any sense… I didn’t have time to let them sit for an hour. They sat for about 40 minutes or so. Then I dried them off and tossed…

  • Vietnamese-Spiced Pork Chops

    Vietnamese-Spiced Pork Chops

      Vietnamese-Spiced Pork Chops recipe Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2003 For some reason, I didn’t really taste the spices all that much. I thought with all that chile flake it would at least have some spiciness to it, but no. Scoring the chops means they cook faster than normal. Take that into consideration when you’re cooking…

  • Chipotle Meat Loaf

    Chipotle Meat Loaf

    Chipotle Meat Loaf recipe Cooking Light, DECEMBER 2005 So, it just tasted like spicy meatloaf. Meh. I didn’t like the chili sauce in the glaze. I would have thought salsa with some ketchup to thicken it, but no. It was tomato sauce with chili sauce added. I really didn’t think it added to the taste…

  • Linguine with Clam Sauce

    Linguine with Clam Sauce

    Linguine with Clam Sauce recipe Cooking Light, November 2001   This was a much better recipe than one I’ve tried before. It’s the bacon…and the clams. This time I bought Bumble Bee chopped clams. They were tender and tasty and weren’t rubber the next day for lunch. Yes, I had it for lunch the next…

  • Marinated Potato-and-Artichoke Salad

    Marinated Potato-and-Artichoke Salad

    Marinated Potato-and-Artichoke Salad recipe Cooking Light, May 1999 This was pretty good. It wasn’t cold when we ate it. It was kind of room temperature. I’m sure it would be better cold. I’ll be having it for lunch tomorrow. It should be better cold. Not that it was bad at room temperature, but to me,…

  • Smoked Paprika Pork Chops with Bell Pepper and Corn Relish

    Smoked Paprika Pork Chops with Bell Pepper and Corn Relish

    Smoked Paprika Pork Chops recipe Cooking Light, April 2005 This was pretty good and easy. I didn’t use canned corn because I already had frozen corn and thought I would just use it up. Being as we didn’t have anything else with it, we ate most of the corn relish that night. I didn’t put…

  • Lemon-Blueberry Muffins

    Lemon-Blueberry Muffins

    Lemon-Blueberry Muffins recipe Cooking Light, April 2003 I think this is the recipe, but since most of them have been lost it’s not easy trying to find the actual recipe. Yes, for some reason I got a muffin bug up my butt yesterday. I made these along with the Banana Corn Muffins to take to…

  • Banana Corn Muffins

    Banana Corn Muffins

    Banana Corn Muffins recipe Cooking Light, August 2005 These were SO easy, very tasty, and pretty cheap! I bought the Jiffy corn muffin mix to use the bananas I had in the freezer. When they start to get over ripe, I put them in the freezer to bake with. It makes them easier to mash…

  • New York-Style Pizza Sauce

    New York-Style Pizza Sauce

    New York-Style Pizza Sauce recipe Cooking Light, July 2009 So, apparently I can’t read cans. I grabbed petite diced tomatoes, but when I started to make the sauce, I realized I bought a can with green chiles. *snort* I couldn’t tell when I tasted the sauce and when I ate the calzone that it had…

  • Grilled Pepper Onion and Sausage Calzones

    Grilled Pepper Onion and Sausage Calzones

    Grilled Pepper, Onion, and Sausage Calzones Cooking Light, July 2009 I made the pizza dough recipe I already posted and put half in the freezer for this recipe. I didn’t grill the sausage or the vegetables. I don’t think we have enough gas to grill much of anything right now and I’m too lazy to…

  • Barbecue Chicken with Mustard Glaze

    Barbecue Chicken with Mustard Glaze

    Barbecue Chicken with Mustard Glaze recipe Cooking Light, July 2009 We had this tonight for dinner. It was quick to prep and we roasted them in the oven instead of a grill pan or on the grill. We really do need more gas for our grill. Anyway, I didn’t have dark brown sugar. I can’t…

  • Broiled Salmon with Peppercorn-Lime Rub

    Broiled Salmon with Peppercorn-Lime Rub recipe Cooking Light, May 2009 So, this is the second recipe where you just sprinkle the stuff on top and bake or broil the fish. I don’t really like this method. It needs to have some olive oil added to it to make it a wet rub or something. The…

  • Quick Taco Salad

    Quick Taco Salad

    Quick Taco Salad recipe Cooking Light, October 1999 Yes, it was quick. For some reason, I hadn’t really planned on making more than the recipe called for, but when I started putting the ingredients together, it didn’t look like enough for left overs. So, I didn’t have enough salsa to make the meat nice and…

  • Homemade Pizza Dough

    Homemade Pizza Dough recipe Cooking Light, July 2009 This was pretty easy to make. My dough was really stick and required more than the required amount of flour. Don’t know why. I think the dough was a little salt for my taste, but it baked up really well in the pepperoni pizza we made tonight…

  • Pepperoni Pizza

    Pepperoni Pizza

    Pepperoni Pizza Cooking Light, September 2006 This was a comedy of errors, except I wasn’t really laughing. I didn’t made the pizza dough this recipe called for. I made the one posted on here from the July 2009 issue. That wasn’t the comedy part… I must have been dreaming when I made the grocery list.…

  • Tilapia with Sherry-Mushroom Sauce

    Tilapia with Sherry-Mushroom Sauce recipe Cooking Light, January 1999 So, to finish up the flounder we have in the freezer, I made this with it instead of tilapia. I had to cut the recipe down as I was only going to make one portion. Due to the new schedule, I have to make all fish…

  • Pita Salad with Tomatoes, Cucumber, and Herbs

    Pita Salad with Tomatoes, Cucumber, and Herbs

    Pita Salad with Tomatoes recipe Cooking Light, July 2009 I’m eating this right now for lunch… I didn’t add the fresh herbs. For some reason, I’m not too keen on those in salads. Just weird that way. I added green peppers and radishes to the mix. Last night, I forgot to add the feta cheese!…

  • Bow Ties with Tomatoes, Feta, and Balsamic Dressing

    Bow Ties with Tomatoes, Feta, and Balsamic Dressing

    Bow Ties with Tomatoes recipe Cooking Light, July 2009 My farfalle fell apart. And no, I didn’t overcook it. It fell apart even though I made it a little more al dente than usual. The last time I made farfalle it shredded to pieces, so I was trying to prevent that this time. Yeah, didn’t…

  • Sole with Tarragon-Butter Sauce

    Sole with Tarragon-Butter Sauce

    Sole with Tarragon-Butter Sauce recipe Cooking Light, January 2007 Again, we used flounder. There wound up not being a lot of “sauce” when we were done. Watch it carefully, as it took less time to reduce than in the instructions. We didn’t use white wine, but it would have added a nice layer of flavor…

  • Chicken-Orzo Salad with Goat Cheese

    Chicken-Orzo Salad with Goat Cheese

    Chicken-Orzo Salad with Goat Cheese recipe Cooking Light, April 2008 So, goat cheese was WAY too expensive. We used RF feta instead. It was light. It was easy. It was filling. It was pretty good for lunch the next day, too. We didn’t serve it with pita bread, but maybe some pita with hummus would…

  • Pork Chops Stuffed with Feta and Spinach

    Pork Chops Stuffed with Feta and Spinach

    Pork Chops Stuffed with Feta and Spinach recipe Cooking Light, April 2007 Yum. These were…YUM! We didn’t broil them. We pan fried them. Every time we use the broiler, the fire alarm goes off, so I try not to use it all that much. The filling was very tasty and lemony. I liked it!! I…

  • Lemon Sole with Lemon-Caper Sauce

    Lemon Sole with Lemon-Caper Sauce recipe Cooking Light, May 2006 It was lemony. It was capery. It was interesting. It took longer than 3 minutes for the sauce to thicken. We used flounder instead of sole, which cooked very quickly. It might taste better with white wine instead of chicken broth. I may try that…

  • Greek Steak Pitas

    Greek Steak Pitas

    Greek Steak Pitas recipe Cooking Light, June 2009 So, I forgot to buy spinach. Maybe it was a subconscious thing as I’m not too fond of sauteed fresh spinach. We used london broil instead of flank steak. I tried to cut it supah thin so it wouldn’t be so tough to eat. Can I just…

  • Parmesan Herb Baked Flounder

    Parmesan Herb Baked Flounder recipe Cooking Light, JANUARY 2004 Yeah, not so much. Either there wasn’t enough mayo or there wasn’t the right kind of parm, but the mayo that you “spread” on the fish wasn’t spreadable. It was a paste. So, I added more mayo. It tasted like fish salad and not parmesan herb…

  • Braised Chicken Thighs With Carrots and Potatoes

  • Spanish-Style Shrimp with Garlic

    Spanish-Style Shrimp with Garlic

    Spanish-Style Shrimp with Garlic recipe Cooking Light, MARCH 2006 These were really good!!! I think they could be a good appetizer, but CTM didn’t agree. I also thought the garlic was going to burn, but I constantly stirred the pan and it sort of toasted instead of burned. I’m sure that’s the key to it…

  • Grilled Flank Steak with Tomato, Avocado, and Cucumber Salad

    Grilled Flank Steak with Tomato, Avocado, and Cucumber Salad recipe Cooking Light, May 2007 This was simple and tasty. We had it last night and I roasted some zucchini to go with the meal.

  • Dry-Rub Chicken with Honey Barbecue Sauce

    Dry-Rub Chicken with Honey Barbecue Sauce

    Dry-Rub Chicken with Honey Barbecue Sauce recipe Cooking Light, MAY 2004 YUM! These were deliscious and we’ve had them twice!! CTM really liked the barbecue sauce, which I doctored a little bit. I added about 1/4 cup of Cattleman’s barbecue sauce to the mix because it just didn’t taste like bbq sauce to me. This…

  • Italian Herbed Shrimp Kebabs

    Italian Herbed Shrimp Kebabs

    Italian Herbed Shrimp Kebabs recipe Cooking Light, JULY 2008 For some reason, I couldn’t find fresh basil. Go figure. So, I used a jarred pesto sauce instead and omitted the olive oil from the recipe. They were pretty good. I think I used too much of the pesto sauce, though. Next time, I’ll try and…

  • Chicken Thighs with Olives and Tomato Sauce

    Chicken Thighs with Olives and Tomato Sauce

    Chicken Thighs with Olives and Tomato Sauce recipe Cooking Light, March 2009 Yet again, I just CANNOT bring myself to shell out $4 for a jar of loves, so I used jumbo California olives. You couldn’t really taste them. I’m sure if you used kalamata or oil cured olives, you would. So, the recipe calls…

  • Chipotle Sloppy Joes

    Chipotle Sloppy Joes

    Chipotle Sloppy Joes recipe Cooking Light, April 2009 O M G these were FABULOUS! Since you only use one chili out of the can, you can make several batches of these. I put the rest of the chilis in the freezer for later use. One wasn’t too spicy at first, but heated up for lunch…

  • Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chile Sauce

    Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chile Sauce

    Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chile Sauce recipe Cooking Light, January 2009 This was REALLY quick to make.

    Blackened Grilled Flank Steak

    Blackened Grilled Flank Steak recipe Cooking Light, July 2007 YUM! It was a little on the spicy side the next day for lunch, but it was really easy to make and VERY tasty. If you don’t like it that spicy, cut the red pepper in half or just omit it. I substituted london broil for…

  • Cajun Pot Roast with Maque Choux 2.0

    Cajun Pot Roast with Maque Choux 2.0

    Cajun Pot Roast with Maque Choux recipe BHG.com This was different. I liked all the peppers in the pot. They were really good!! I added the cajun seasoning toward the end because it has garlic in it. For some reason garlic cooked in the crock pot doesn’t do much for me. It was easy enough…

  • Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Sauce

    Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Sauce recipe Cooking Light, May 2009 Yeah, I’m not so sure it was “sauce.” It was more like cream broth instead of sauce. I would combine some cornstarch with the cream to make it thicken better. Of course, we couldn’t find morels so I substituted shiitake mushrooms instead. It was pretty…

  • Baked Shrimp with Feta

    Baked Shrimp with Feta

    Baked Shrimp with Feta recipe Cooking Light, April 2009 This was REALLY good and REALLY easy to make!! I didn’t have white wine, so I just used the clam juice instead. It made it a little more juicy, but I let it simmer a little longer so it wasn’t so watery. However, if you’re serving…

  • Chipotle-Marinated Pork Chops with Chimichurri Sauce

    Chipotle-Marinated Pork Chops with Chimichurri Sauce

    Chipotle-Marinated Pork Chops with Chimichurri Sauce recipe Cooking Light, June 2000 I was worried these would be too spicy. They weren’t…until you reheat them for lunch! HOLY COW!

  • Asian Barbecue Chicken

    Asian Barbecue Chicken

    Asian Barbecue Chicken recipe Cooking Light, March 2002 It didn’t look like enough sauce to marinate the chicken in, so I doubled it. *snort* I put all the ingredients in the bowl, mixed it all up, poured it into the plastic bag and proceeded to kneed the bag with my hands to make sure the…

  • Caribbean Rice

    Caribbean Rice

    Caribbean Rice recipe Cooking Light, November 2002 I’ve never cooked rice with coconut milk. CTM doesn’t like coconut so I’ve always been weary.

  • Grilled Jerk-Marinated Pork Kebabs

    Grilled Jerk-Marinated Pork Kebabs recipe Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2008 So, apparently I’m boycotting skewers this week, even though the menu had like 3 recipes that required them. *snort* We just grilled the pork chops instead of cutting them up. They were thick loin chops that I had intended on cubing and skewering. Yeah. YUM! I…

  • Grilled Lemon-Bay Shrimp

    Grilled Lemon-Bay Shrimp

    Grilled Lemon-Bay Shrimp recipe Cooking Light, August 2004 Yeah, still couldn’t find the skewers. *sigh* I’ll have to get some today, though.

  • Greek Salad with Feta and Olives

    Greek Salad with Feta and Olives recipe Cooking Light, April 1996 I didn’t add the lettuce or the escarole. C’est la vie! I wanted the salad to marinate a bit before we ate it and the lettuce would have just wilted. Besides, I wanted to be able to take left overs for lunch. I have…

  • Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce

    Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce

    Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce recipe Cooking Light, March 2003 Since I couldn’t find the skewers, we didn’t make kabobs with the chicken and zucchini. We just grilled the breasts normally. Usually, when there’s lemon in the marinade, I don’t usually taste it. For some reason this time I could taste the lemon, but not…

  • Lemon Pepper Shrimp Scampi

    Lemon Pepper Shrimp Scampi

    Lemon Pepper Shrimp Scampi recipe Cooking Light, MARCH 2009 NEEDS MORE LEMON! I could BARELY taste the lemon in this recipe. Add some zest or more juice to the shrimp. I don’t think there was enough pepper either. It was good and easy. We’ll probably make it again with those adjustments. I couldn’t find orzo…

  • Cajun Red Beans and Rice

    Cajun Red Beans and Rice

    Cajun Red Beans and Rice recipe Cooking Light, JANUARY 2009 That’s exactly what it is. Nothing to write home about. We WOULD have had nice left overs for lunch had I NOT left the burner on low most of the night. It was very easy and quick to make. I used Goya small red beans…

  • Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

    Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

    Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa recipe Cooking Light, April 2009 I hate cilantro, so I didn’t use any. I just marinated the chicken in the lime juice. I could taste a little of the lime, but not much. Next time I may put some of the rind in with the chicken to marinate. The salsa…

  • Indian-Style Marinated Chicken

    Indian-Style Marinated Chicken recipe Cooking Light, August 2006 SPICY!! I would back off the cayenne if you don’t like things too spicy. The sauce was interesting, to say the least.

  • Flank Steak with Warm Moroccan Spices

    Flank Steak with Warm Moroccan Spices

    Flank Steak with Warm Moroccan Spices recipe Sunset, September 2006 Does not listen well and follow directions! *snort* So, the london broil was marinated about 30 minutes before broiling.

  • Easy Baked Fish Fillets

    Easy Baked Fish Fillets

    Easy Baked Fish Fillets recipe Cooking Light, October 1999 It was easy, that’s for sure. I couldn’t really taste the lime in the coating.

    Bourbon and Brown Sugar Flank Steak with Garlic-Chive Mashed Potatoes

    Bourbon and Brown Sugar Flank Steak with Garlic-Chive Mashed Potatoes recipe Cooking Light, September 2002 So, I pretty much substitute london broil for flank steak lately.

  • Lady and the Tramp Spaghetti and Meatballs

    Lady and the Tramp Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe Cooking Light, March 1998 These were EASY and TASTY! We added WAY more onion than it called for, so they were oniony.

    Chipotle-Lime Roast Chicken with Tomatillo Sauce

    Chipotle-Lime Roast Chicken with Tomatillo Sauce recipe Cooking Light, MAY 2006 You know I don’t really follow the directions…I didn’t with this one either. *snort* We have a convection oven with a rotisserie spit.

  • Spinach with Chili Oil

    Spinach with Chili Oil recipe Cooking Light, OCTOBER 1995 I keep trying and trying to eat spinach. I know it’s good for me. It leaves the STRANGEST feeling on my tongue when I’m done eating it though. I have no clue what that’s about. This was okay. I didn’t find chili oil, so I toasted…

  • Cumin-Crusted Chilean Sea Bass

    Cumin-Crusted Chilean Sea Bass

    Cumin-Crusted Chilean Sea Bass recipe Cooking Light, DECEMBER 2001 I couldn’t find Chilean sea bass. *pout* So, I substituted cod. O M G this was YUMMY!!

  • Pork Chops Oreganata

    Pork Chops Oreganata

    Pork Chops Oreganata recipe Cooking Light, JANUARY 2009 Yeah, these really should be called lemon pork chops oreganata. They were really good, but lemony.

  • Rosemary-Dijon Pork Chops & Oven Potatoes Dinner

    Rosemary-Dijon Pork Chops & Oven Potatoes Dinner recipe Kraftfoods.com These were okay. The coating doesn’t get crispy if you don’t put the chops on a rack on the pan in the oven. If that makes sense. The top may get crispy, but the breading underneath just gets soggy. Or you could just coat them on…

  • Baked Flounder with Fresh Lemon Pepper

    Baked Flounder with Fresh Lemon Pepper recipe Oxmoor House, June 2006 So, it wasn’t very lemony, but it DEFINITELY was peppery. I may make this again, I don’t know. I think the fish wasn’t too fresh and was kind of mushy. It probably would be a really good topping for any fish, but I would…

  • Chicken Tamale Casserole

    Chicken Tamale Casserole

    Chicken Tamale Casserole recipe Cooking Light, NOVEMBER 2008 This sounded really interesting. I had it on the list to make for a few weeks, and just didn’t get around to it. I had all the ingredients, just was too lazy when it came time to make it on the weekends. O M G it was…

  • Chicken Puttanesca with Angel Hair Pasta

    Chicken Puttanesca with Angel Hair Pasta

    Chicken Puttanesca with Angel Hair Pasta recipe Cooking Light, AUGUST 2007 Yeah, it was spaghetti and chicken. The only difference was the capers and the olives, if we actually added them.

  • Lemon-Thyme-Crusted Pork Chops

    Lemon-Thyme-Crusted Pork Chops recipe Southern Living, OCTOBER 2007 I think I’ve made these before and just not blogged about it. Maybe it was a different lemon pork recipe.

  • Mushroom-Chive Pilaf

    Mushroom-Chive Pilaf recipe Cooking Light, OCTOBER 1997 YUM! This was easy to make and VERY tasty!! I didn’t put the mushrooms in at the end.

  • Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Peppercorn Pan Sauce

    Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Peppercorn Pan Sauce Cooking Light, MARCH 2004 This was good, but lemony. I’d cut the lemon juice to about half or a little more than half.

  • Double-Chocolate Cupcakes

    Double-Chocolate Cupcakes

    Double-Chocolate Cupcakes Cooking Light, DECEMBER 2007 These aren’t so much cupcakes and they are muffins. They were pretty dry. They are very chocolatey, though.

  • Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash

    Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash Cooking Light, March 2006 I’ve come to realize that I DO NOT like garlic cooked in the crock pot. I thought it was the cajun spice, being as I only noticed that interesting…shall we say, flavor in the red beans and rice dishes I was trying. SO, I thought it was…

  • Parmesan and Sage-Crusted Pork Chops

    Parmesan and Sage-Crusted Pork Chops

    Parmesan and Sage-Crusted Pork Chops Cooking Light, December 2008   Who can’t resist fried cheese?? These were SUPAH good. I used a whole grain English muffin instead of white bread.

    Creamy Feta-Spinach Dip Cooking Light, January 2000 O M G this is really good!! I’ve been taking it as a snack this week at work with some home made baked tortilla chips.

  • Hoisin Barbecued Chicken

    Hoisin Barbecued Chicken

    Hoisin Barbecued Chicken Cooking Light, January 2001 I really need to read the directions before I plan the meals. I didn’t marinate the chicken. OOPS!

    Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chile Sauce 2.0

    Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chile Sauce Cooking Light, JANUARY 2009 This was pretty good. I had the sweet Thai style chili sauce, which made it interesting.

  • Chicken Biryani

    Chicken Biryani

    Chicken Biryani Cooking Light, JANUARY 2009 YUMM-MY!! This was really good!! I didn’t add the golden raisins, the almonds or the HIDEOUS cilantro. I probably chopped the chicken up too big, so make sure it’s truly bite sized about 1″ pieces. My hands were cold because the chicken was still a little frozen. *shiver* I…

  • Onion Rice Pilaf

    Onion Rice Pilaf Southern Living, NOVEMBER 2004 I’m soooooooooo guilty of not reading the directions.

  • Lemon-Dill Salmon Croquettes with Horseradish Sauce

    Lemon-Dill Salmon Croquettes with Horseradish Sauce

  • Buttery Blue Cheese Spread with Walnuts

    Buttery Blue Cheese Spread with Walnuts Southern Living, DECEMBER 2000 I made this last Christmas and decided to make it again this Christmas for CTM and I to snack on. It’s REALLY good. This time, I tried to cut the recipe in half so it wouldn’t make so much. I used 1/4 c margarine, 12…

  • Dal with Ghee Cumin and Mustard Seeds

    Dal with Ghee Cumin and Mustard Seeds

    Dal with Ghee, Cumin, and Mustard Seeds

  • Pork with Mustard Sauce

    Pork with Mustard Sauce Cooking Light, June 1995 Okay, so this isn’t the link to the recipe I used. I’ll have to see if I can find it and post it. Okay, so I didn’t use white wine. I used lowfat chicken broth. And I didn’t have honey, so I used real maple syrup. YUM!…

  • Quick Buttermilk Corn Bread

    Quick Buttermilk Corn Bread Cooking Light, January 2004 This was really crumbly and needed some sugar…more than what I already added to the batter. I added 2 T of sugar (not splenda) to the batter because I like my cornbread a little on the sweet side. I hated the cast iron pan in the oven…

  • Smoked Ham Soup with White Beans

    Smoked Ham Soup with White Beans Cooking Light, NOVEMBER 2005 Meh, it’s bean soup. We put all the ingredients in the crock pot and made it that way. I think I’ve gotten to the point where I’m a purist with some foods and don’t want a lot of spices. I just wanted to taste the…

  • Caesar Salad

    Caesar Salad Cooking Light, October 2003 We didn’t use egg substitute. We used two egg yolks. It wasn’t as creamy as I thought it should be. Next time I might use three egg yolks. It was pretty good, though. I think it could use a little garlic and will probably add some next time. Measuring…

  • Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms

    Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe courtesy Paula Deen These received rave reviews. I think Dad ate most of them. *snort* They were really easy to prepare. I blended the cream cheese with the herbs and it was rather thick. I thinned it out with a little milk so I didn’t have to mutilate the crab when I…

  • Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Spicy Mayo

    Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Spicy Mayo Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence Even though we’re rather close to water, we don’t get fresh scallops on this area. I’d have to drive to DC to get them. That being said, the guy at Giant told us that this particular pack of frozen sea scallops would be better than…

  • Rosemary Rib Roast

    Rosemary Rib Roast

    Rosemary Rib Roast Southern Living, December 2003 What can I say…it’s a rosemary rubbed rib roast. It was excellent and very tasty. It took FOREVAH to cook though. About 2 1/2 to almost 3 hours so we didn’t let it rest the way you should, but it was still juicy and yummy!! We have LOTS…

  • Black Forest Cherry Cheesecake

    Black Forest Cherry Cheesecake

    Black Forest Cherry Cheesecake Cooking Light, July 2000 Since it’s winter, there are no fresh cherries…well not at our Giant anyway. So, we used frozen dark sweet pitted cherries. I don’t have a spring form pan and I forgot to line the cake pan with tin foil so it was difficult to get out. It…

  • Mini Meat Loaves

    Mini Meat Loaves

    Mini Meat Loaves Cooking Light, January 2003 We made these tonight for dinner. It’s meatloaf. Don’t over mix the meatloaf. I made that mistake. For some reason, when you make it in a larger loaf, it doesn’t make that much of a difference. Making them smaller seems to make them more susceptible to becoming what…

  • Pit Fired Ham Glazed with Pineapple and Mango Maple Syrup

    Pit Fired Ham Glazed with Pineapple and Mango Maple Syrup Recipe courtesy Chef Jill Davie I’m not normally a fan of the sweet and savory type dishes. No apples and pork, no hawaiian pizza, nothing like that. This was pretty good though!! We couldn’t find a mango sauce so we used a mango jelly from…

  • Double Ginger Cupcakes with Lemon Glaze

    Double Ginger Cupcakes with Lemon Glaze

    Double Ginger Cupcakes with Lemon Glaze Cooking Light, December 2008 So, I’ve had these on the list to make for a couple of months now. I LOVE gingerbread ANYTHING!! So, when I saw these I just had to make them. I didn’t make the icing. I’m not a huge fan of icing and prefer my…

  • Swedish Almond Cardamom Stars

    Swedish Almond Cardamom Stars

    Swedish Almond Cardamom Stars Cooking Light, December 2008 If you don’t like chai or don’t know cardamom, make sure you smell the spice before you use it. I have found it’s a love it or hate type of ingredient. I happen to LOVE it! CTM, not so much. These were really easy to make. Of…

  • Gingerbread People Cookies

    Gingerbread People Cookies

    Gingerbread People Cookies Cooking Light, November 1998 These were really yummy!! Gingerbread cookies are one of my weaknesses so I usually bake them and take them to work because if I leave them at home, I’ll just eat them all. I’m not a huge fan of royal icing and making those types of decorations on…

  • Bavarian Sausage-and-Kraut Supper

    Bavarian Sausage-and-Kraut Supper Cooking Light, December 1999 So, I’m guessing you drain the kraut so the whole dish isn’t so kraut-y. It’s similar to a dish we usually make in the crock pot, but we put potatoes in the bottom, then the sausage, then the kraut on top. It was good. I’m sure we’ll make…

  • Stir-Fried Shrimp with Spicy Orange Sauce

    Stir-Fried Shrimp with Spicy Orange Sauce

    Stir-Fried Shrimp with Spicy Orange Sauce Cooking Light, August 2007 This was really yummy and very orange-y. Being as I usually don’t stick to the recipe, I added a bag of oriental veggie mix from Green Giant or something like that and a can of mandarin oranges. Don’t add the oranges until the very end…

  • Chicken Paprikash

    Chicken Paprikash

    Chicken Paprikash Cooking Light, December 2005 Okay, so I should not cook while drinking. This probably would have been better had I actually added the tomatoes. Without the tomatoes, there’s very little sauce to cover the noodles. It was rather bland, though. I’m not sure that the caraway seeds really added flavor to the chicken.…

  • Braised Herb Chicken Thighs with Potatoes

    Braised Herb Chicken Thighs with Potatoes

    Braised Herb Chicken Thighs with Potatoes Cooking Light, January 2005 YUM!! This was really goood!! It’s going on the definitely make again list. I need a bigger dutch oven though. It looked more like pot roast with chicken thighs. *snort* The flour mixture didn’t thicken the sauce as much as I had thought it would.…

  • Lemon Basil Shrimp and Pasta

    Lemon Basil Shrimp and Pasta

    Lemon Basil Shrimp and Pasta Cooking Light, April 2007 So, this is the second recipe that called for cooking the shrimp with the pasta. I don’t like that. We sauteed the shrimp with the spinach and lemon juice then tossed everything in a bowl. It was interesting… The combination of the capers and the spinach…

  • Mushroom and Caramelized-Shallot Strudel

    Mushroom and Caramelized-Shallot Strudel

    Mushroom and Caramelized-Shallot Strudel Cooking Light, November 2001 I made this one a loooooooooooong time ago, too. This recipe surfaced in my email from myrecipes.com and it reminded me that I made this one and the other one for a cooking club thing I was trying to get going. It petered out. I made the…

  • Caramelized Onion, Fig, and Blue Cheese Strudel

    Caramelized Onion, Fig, and Blue Cheese Strudel

    Caramelized Onion, Fig, and Blue Cheese Strudel Cooking Light, October 1996 I made this a loooooooooong time ago, but I remember I made it the other day when I saw another strudel recipe I made and thought I’d post this. I don’t think this is the picture for the strudel. I think it’s for the…

  • Italian Turkey Sausage with Three Peppers

    Italian Turkey Sausage with Three Peppers Cooking Light, November 2004 It’s turkey sausage with peppers. What else can I tell ya. We used the Shady Brook Farms turkey sausage because it was on sale. We didn’t add the vinegar. It might have tasted a little more different with balsamic vinegar, but CTM has something with…

  • Creamed Spinach

    Creamed Spinach Cooking Light, NOVEMBER 2005 This was okay. I don’t think my stomach liked it all that much, though. Not that it tasted bad, but there might have been something with the lowfat cream cheese that I used that didn’t sit well with me. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be creamy until…

  • Shrimp and Broccoli Stir-Fry

    Shrimp and Broccoli Stir-Fry

    Shrimp and Broccoli Stir-Fry Cooking Light, January 2008 This was mighty yummy except for the vinegar in the recipe. It was a little too powerful for our taste. I would but it in half and add more soy sauce. Of course, we use tamari soy sauce which tastes MUCH better than the regular stuff. I’m…

  • Pork Tenderloin with Paprika Spice Rub

    Pork Tenderloin with Paprika Spice Rub

    Pork Tenderloin with Paprika Spice Rub Paprika Spice Blend Cooking Light, NOVEMBER 2008 If you make this, make sure to use an old pan or cover the one you have with tin foil. I used my good roasting pan, and it took a good three days to come clean. The combo of the high heat…

  • Classic Barbecue Ribs

    Classic Barbecue Ribs Southern Living, January 2007 Orange juice and lemon juice in barbecue sauce?? Yeah, that’s weird. All the other ingredients make sense, but the juices? If you say so! We had some really nice pork ribs that were on sale at the grocery so I thought we’d try this one. It was delicious!!…

  • Slow-Cooker Beef-and-Bean Burritos

    Slow-Cooker Beef-and-Bean Burritos Cooking Light, JANUARY 1997 They tasted like burritos made with left over pot roast. Maybe I didn’t put enough of the taco seasoning on the London broil. I don’t know. It was good, but didn’t taste like carne asada or anything like that. I just have to say that I LOVE our…

  • Spaghetti and Meatballs (Cooking Light)

    Spaghetti and Meatballs (Cooking Light)

    Spaghetti and Meatballs Cooking Light, SEPTEMBER 2006 I couldn’t find the turkey Italian sausage so I used regular. I didn’t follow the recipe for the sauce, but use the Alton Brown sauce that’s posted on here. I wish I hasn’t because the tomatoes were really tart and could have used a little bit of sugar…

  • Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice

    Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice

    Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice Cooking Light, April 2003 Okay, so this is the second slow cooker rice and beans recipe I’ve tried. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the sausage that makes it taste funny. It also gets way too cooked and sometimes hardens. Add it about an hour before it’s done…

  • Slow-Roasted Rosemary-and-Garlic Chicken

    Slow-Roasted Rosemary-and-Garlic Chicken Cooking Light, November 1998 Yeah, not so much. This is not one of those recipes you can make while you’re at work unless you use a vacay timer. The breast meat gets dry, the garlic and rosemary just overpowered the taste of the chicken, and you really need to watch the cooking…

  • Spaghetti with White Clam Sauce

    Spaghetti with White Clam Sauce

    Spaghetti with White Clam Sauce Sunset, November 2002 This was pretty good. The juice from the canned clams came to about 2 cups. That, with the bottled juice and the chicken broth (we used that instead of the wine) looked like a LOT of juice. So, I just used 1 cup of the juice from…

  • Rosemary Pork Tenderloin

    Rosemary Pork Tenderloin

    Rosemary Pork Tenderloin Cooking Light, December 2001 This was easy to make, but it was weird. We had the tenderloin in the freezer, so I thought we’d try this. You slice the tenderloin, making it quicker to cook, I guess. I’m the victim of not reading the directions and thought it was roasted whole. Anyway,…

  • Rice Pilaf with Shallots and Parmesan

    Rice Pilaf with Shallots and Parmesan Cooking Light, December 2003 I doubled this recipe so we would have some for left overs the next day. It’s a pilaf. It’s easy to make. I added some orzo to make it more like rice a roni type pilaf. I always add that when I’m making a pilaf.…

  • Roasted Salmon with Citrus and Herbs

    Roasted Salmon with Citrus and Herbs

    Roasted Salmon with Citrus and Herbs Cooking Light, November 2005 I don’t like salmon, so I always substitute another fish for salmon in all recipes. This time, we used some frozen orange roughy. The fish counter wasn’t open when we got to the store. It was the first time I had orange roughy. It was…

  • Fettuccine with Shrimp and Portobellos

    Fettuccine with Shrimp and Portobellos

    Fettuccine with Shrimp and Portobellos Cooking Light, April 2004 CTM did all the chopping and prep for this dish and pretty much made the whole thing, really. I made the fettuccine. *snort* We used baby portobellos instead of the whole portobellos. We always have those on hand because they’re the same price as the white…

  • Broccoli with Red Pepper Flakes and Toasted Garlic

    Broccoli with Red Pepper Flakes and Toasted Garlic

    Broccoli with Red Pepper Flakes and Toasted Garlic Cooking Light, March 2007 So, we don’t really have a lid big enough to fit the LARGE nonstick pan. It’s on the list of things to get next time we go shopping. This wasn’t really garlicky and not that spicy. Next time, I think we’ll add the…

  • Mashed Potatoes with Chives

    Mashed Potatoes with Chives

    Mashed Potatoes with Chives Cooking Light, August 2005 Meh, they’re mashed potatoes with chives. Good mashed potatoes none the less. I always use kitchen shears or scissors to cut the chives. It’s easier than using a knife. Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons Pot Strainer Hand mixer Scissors

  • Creamy Cajun Shrimp Linguine

    Creamy Cajun Shrimp Linguine

    Creamy Cajun Shrimp Linguine Cooking Light, September 2006 Okay so when I got home CTM was like, “Um…did you read these directions?” “No, why?” “They’re weird.” He was right, they were weird. You boil the water the stock, add the pasta and shrimp and then simmer everything. I didn’t like that. We added the stock…

  • Herbed Chicken Parmesan

    Herbed Chicken Parmesan

    Herbed Chicken Parmesan Cooking Light, November 2003 YUMMY! Soooo yummy I’m having it again for lunch today. I added some dried rosemary to the mixture, too, which added another level of flavor that was just super tasty. We didn’t broil the cheese on top, though. We were lazy with that. I would definitely make this…

  • Parmesan Zucchini Sticks with Smoky Roasted Romesco Sauce

    Parmesan Zucchini Sticks with Smoky Roasted Romesco Sauce

    Parmesan Zucchini Sticks with Smoky Roasted Romesco Sauce Cooking Light, July 2008 I made these, but we really didn’t eat them. I tasted a couple and they were okay. Nothing really to write home about. The sticks need longer to cook than in the recipe. I may bring some in tomorrow as a snack and…

  • Wild Mushroom Risotto

    Wild Mushroom Risotto

    Wild Mushroom Risotto Cooking Light, September 2001 So, for some reason that Giant we NOW go to doesn’t have porcini mushrooms. I should see if Penzey’s does and just order some from them. I can’t believe they don’t carry them!! There’s several recipes I make that calls for them. They really add an earthy, mushroom…

  • Shrimp Étouffée

    Shrimp Étouffée

    Shrimp Étouffée Cooking Light, July 2008 This was good. Too bad neither of us felt really good to enjoy it. the first part about making the “roux” is really strange. I did’t use butter, because we RARELY have it around the house and used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter instead. It didn’t get brown…

  • Mexican Chicken Casserole

    Mexican Chicken Casserole Cooking Light, December 1998 This was QUITE tasty, don’t get me wrong, but when I put it together that morning I said, “I hope it tasted better than it looks.” There’s too much cooking liquid with the chicken that goes into the “cheese” sauce. The cream cheese made it creamy, but adding…

  • Creamy Gruyère and Shrimp Pasta

    Creamy Gruyère and Shrimp Pasta

    Creamy Gruyère and Shrimp Pasta Cooking Light, March 2004 This has a little kick to it! I made the pasta and had all the ingredients ready for the shrimp and cream sauce, so it went together quickly. The sauce isn’t very cheesy. The wine that you add to the shrimp makes it a little sauce…

  • Soy-Marinated Chicken Thighs

    Soy-Marinated Chicken Thighs

    Soy-Marinated Chicken Thighs Cooking Light, July 2008 The marinade smelled great, but it didn’t really transfer that flavor to the chicken all that well. The meat didn’t really have the flavor of the marinade at all, but the skin had a hint of it. I stuck the thighs in the marinade and then headed out…

  • Parmesan Chicken and Rice

    Parmesan Chicken and Rice

    Parmesan Chicken and Rice Cooking Light, June 2004 This was kind of like mock-risotto. At least that’s the way it tasted to me. I had intended to make the casserole version of this on their website, but in my experience, chicken thighs take longer than 15 minutes to cook. So, I found something with similar…

  • Marinated London Broil

    Marinated London Broil

    Marinated London Broil Cooking Light, May 2008 YUM! This was mighty tasty. In my experience, london broil needs to be treated like flank steak. You need to cook it on a high heat and fast. I made the marinade yesterday morning before we headed to the grocery. I can’t believe how much flavor it had…

  • Banana Pudding

    Banana Pudding Cooking Light, May 1997 I have made this SEVERAL times and thought I’d post it on here. IT IS AMAZING! We LOVE this recipe and have made it twice in the past week and probably would make it ONCE a week we could stand the calories. The pudding is just tasty!! Sometimes, I…

  • Shrimp Diablo

    Shrimp Diablo Cooking Light, June 2003 Okay, if’ I’d paid attention at the store, this might have been better. I grabbed the SWEET chili sauce. Mind you, it didn’t taste all that bad, but it was a little sweeter than I had anticipated. I didn’t like the directions, so I didn’t follow them. I heated…

  • Classic Banana Bread

    Classic Banana Bread

    Classic Banana Bread Cooking Light, September 2003 This recipe is really easy, really moist, and really good. The last time I made this was this weekend and I used lowfat vanilla yogurt instead of plain. I also added some chopped walnuts. I usually use I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter stick and splenda instead of…

  • Creamy Fettuccine with Shrimp and Bacon

    Creamy Fettuccine with Shrimp and Bacon Cooking Light, August 2005 This was good. It was a little saucier than I had anticipated, but it was good! I might up the flour a little so it’s not so runny. Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons Saucepan for sauce Stockpot for pasta Large nonstick skillet for…

  • Greek-Style Scampi

    Greek-Style Scampi

    Greek-Style Scampi Cooking Light, March 2008 This was sooo good, we made it again yesterday for dinner. I used two cans of tomatoes and drained both, which I wouldn’t do next time. Drain 1 can so there’s juice for the pasta to soak up. Or you could add a bit of the pasta water to…

  • Spicy Yogurt-Marinated Chicken with Couscous

    Spicy Yogurt-Marinated Chicken with Couscous Cooking Light, May 2001 This has been on the menu for quite some time, but we just never did make it. Well, last night we did. I didn’t broil them, I roasted them so I could put the eggplant in the oven with them to roast at the same time.…

  • Spicy Peanut Sauce

    Spicy Peanut Sauce

    Make this easy, homemade spicy peanut sauce — a creamy, Thai‑inspired blend of peanuts, chili flakes, garlic, and soy for bold flavor in minutes.

  • Chicken Thighs with Thyme and Lemon

    Chicken Thighs with Thyme and Lemon Cooking Light, July 2002 I made the marinade and stuck the chicken it before I went to work. CTM had the grill going by the time I got home from work and grilled them. They weren’t as lemony as I thought and I only got a HINT of thyme…

  • Lazy Lasagna

    Lazy Lasagna Cooking Light, September 1997 We made this last night because CTM wanted lasagna. We alread had some ground beef in the freezer so I took it out before we headed to the grocery. I did substitute the cottage cheese for fat free ricotta. I can’t help myself. Lasagna is just not the same…

  • Pan-Seared Tilapia with Citrus Vinaigrette

    Pan-Seared Tilapia with Citrus Vinaigrette

    Pan-Seared Tilapia with Citrus Vinaigrette Cooking Light, January 2008 This was really good. We’ve made it twice since I put it up here to make. I usually put the ingredients for the sauce together in the morning. Then when I get home, we pan sear the fish, add the sauce to the pan to let…

  • Chicken Cordon Bleu

    Chicken Cordon Bleu Cooking Light, December 2005 Yet again, I’m a blogger slacker!! We’ve made this twice so far. The first time, I used regular ham and RF mozzarella cheese. Came out okay. OH, and I didn’t to the chicken broth thing. I don’t understand the need to braise them. Anyway, we just made them…

  • Pork Chops with Hoisin-Molasses Barbecue Sauce

    Pork Chops with Hoisin-Molasses Barbecue Sauce

    Sugar, hoisin sauce, and molasses provide deep, sweet notes in the sauce, rounded out by tartness and salt from rice vinegar, soy sauce, and mustard.

  • Mango and Black Bean Salad

    Mango and Black Bean Salad Cooking Light, March 2008 So, I’m not really sure WHAT the tomatillo salsa does for this recipe. I may try it with regular salsa next time and see if that makes a difference. The mangoes were UBER ripe and tasted almost as sweet as candy!! I don’t think there was…

  • Jamaican Chicken Thighs

    Jamaican Chicken Thighs Cooking Light, May 2005 I don’t think I’ve ever had jerk style seasonings before. It was easy to make, though. I ground up the ginger and the allspice, beause I only use whole spices with the sweet stuff. Then I mixed in the rest of the spices, making sure to add twice…

  • Chicken with Paprika and Potatoes

    Chicken with Paprika and Potatoes Cooking Light, May 2001 This was pretty good. I made the rub and spread it on the chicken in the morning. I should have put some under the skin, too, but I didn’t think about it. CTM sliced up the potatoes – LOTS of potatoes – and added my pre-chopped…

  • Chicken and Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine Sauce

    Chicken and Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine Sauce Cooking Light, November 2006 YUM! This was really good. I didn’t chop the chicken up into smaller pieces, which I will do next time. I think I made them a little more than bite sized. It was easy to make and VERY good. I think we’ll probably…

  • Blackened Halibut with Remoulade

    Blackened Halibut with Remoulade Cooking Light, APRIL 2008 I love blackened anything, so this was perfect! CTM sprinkled the spice on the fish and we fried them in a nonstick skillet. He cooked them PERFECTLY! The spices were just enough to coat three tilapia fillets and just spicy enough. This one will be on the…

  • Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

      Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore Cooking Light, JANUARY 1995 I put this in the crockpot and used all chicken thighs. We had it last night for dinner. The sauce was a little on the runny side. I might drain the tomatoes next time and add some sauce to make it more saucier. It was rather…

    A simple, quick marinade adds bold flavor to this orange-ginger grilled chicken thigh recipe, making it perfect for a busy weeknight meal.

    Barbecued-Beef Sandwiches

    Barbecued-Beef Sandwiches

  • Beef Bourguignonne with Egg Noodles

    Beef Bourguignonne with Egg Noodles Cooking Light, September 2004 True to form, I didn’t really follow the recipe. I took the chuck roast and seared it in the pan instead of using stew meat or chopping it up. I also forgot the pearl onions. OOPS! I put everything in the crock pot to cook while…

  • Chipotle Turkey Cutlets

    Chipotle Turkey Cutlets Cooking Light, March 2002 Holy spicy turkey cutlets!! For those that don’t know, chipotles are roasted jalapenos. If you like UBER spicy food, make this recipe as is. If you don’t like mouth burning, flaming asshole recipes, then cut the chipotle powder with regular chili powder. The cocoa powder makes it kind…

  • Baked Snapper with Chipotle Butter

    Baked Snapper with Chipotle Butter Cooking Light, May 2003 SPICY! This is REALLY SPICY! If you don’t know, chipotles are roasted jalapenos. If you don’t like it really spicy, cut the chipotles in half, remove the seeds, and only use half of the pepper. We put the dry rub on and cooked the tilapia (didn’t…

  • Orzo, Corn, and Roasted Bell Pepper Salad

    Orzo, Corn, and Roasted Bell Pepper Salad Cooking Light, July 2005 True to form, I didn’t really follow the recipe. I THOUGHT I had roasted peppers in the fridge, but I didn’t. CTM found this corn southwestern style mix by Birdseye, so I used that instead. I had orzo prepared from the night before, tossed…

  • Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs

    Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs Cooking Light, March 2007 These were very yummy and spicy! I couldn’t taste much of the honey, though. Hm… I coated the thighs in the rub that morning. Then we put them in the oven with the potato wedges, so we didn’t broil them. After about 30 minutes, we took them…

  • Chicken Thighs with Marsala-Mushroom Cream Sauce Over Noodles

    Chicken Thighs with Marsala-Mushroom Cream Sauce Over Noodles Cooking Light, May 2001 Well, this one didn’t turn out so great. The Marsala-Mushroom Cream Sauce Over Noodles was good, but the chicken was bad. I mean, it was bad before I cooked it apparently. It smelled fine to me, but didn’t taste so good. *herck* So,…

  • Chicken Thighs with Goat Cheese Sauce and Tarragon

    Chicken Thighs with Goat Cheese Sauce and Tarragon Cooking Light, May 2001 O M G these were deliscious!! There is A LOT of tarragon in this recipe, though. If you don’t like licorice you might not like it. I had to buy two packages to meet the 1 1/2 cups in the recipe. I LOVE…

  • Risotto with Mushrooms and Parmesan

    Risotto with Mushrooms and Parmesan Cooking Light, December 2002 YUM! Risotto is ALWAYS good. I don’t think I’ve had a bad one yet, but then again, I haven’t tasted the ones from Hell’s Kitchen. *snort* I’d definitely make this one again. Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons Medium saucepan for broth Large saucepan for…

  • Roasted Sausages with Beer-Braised Onions

    Roasted Sausages with Beer-braised Onions Sunset, October 2002 Well, we didn’t exactly follow the recipe. We had Shady Brook turkey brats that weren’t already cooked, so I added them to the pan with the onions. When the onions were dine, we took them out and let the brats finish cooking. We argued over not having…

  • Chop-As-You-Go Pasta with Mushrooms and Ham

    Chop-As-You-Go Pasta with Mushrooms and Ham Cooking Light, August 2000 This was VERY interesting, to say the least. It was a strange mix of flavors. I should have chopped the ham into a smaller dice, too. I don’t know that I’d make this again. It was different… Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons LARGE…

  • Rosemary Swordfish on Vegetable Couscous

    Rosemary Swordfish on Vegetable Couscous Cooking Light, July 1997  This was pretty good. I didn’t have enough couscous so it was a little runny and I had to use a slotted spoon, but it tasted really good. The rosemary and the fish was a nice combination. I sprinkled some lemon juice over the fish before…

  • Brown Soda Bread

    Brown Soda Bread Cooking Light, March 2004  Yum Yum and even more YUM! This was REALLY good and full of fiber to boot! It wasn’t hard to make and made for really good leftover snacks. Meausing cups and spoons Mixing bowl Wooden spoon Whisk Baking pan

  • Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner

    Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner Cooking Light, MARCH 2003 Well, it’s not too hard to mess this up. Of course I made it in the crockpot and didn’t do the mustard breadcrumb topping thing. I did, however, add too much pickling spice so it was a little on the allspice and clove side for my…

  • Creamy Stove-Top Macaroni and Cheese

    Creamy Stove-Top Macaroni and Cheese Cooking Light, June 2006 It definitely was creamy, but it wasn’t very cheesy. I mixed sharp RF cheddar with Sargento’s four cheese Mexican mix. I think you need almost all sharp cheddar to make this cheesy. It was easy to make, and made A LOT of mac n cheese. We…

  • Garlic and Ginger Rice (Com Gung Tuong)

    Garlic and Ginger Rice (Com Gung Tuong)

    This Garlic and Ginger Rice dish is flavored with the Asian Chicken Stock. The rice stands for 10 minutes so the grains separate and the cilantro flavor permeates the dish. The rice is rinsed three times to get rid of some starch so it won’t be sticky when cooked. Cooking Light, August 2004   This…

  • Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Turkey Sausage

    Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Turkey Sausage Cooking Light, October 2007 I should have soaked the beans overnight and put this in the crockpot. We were supposed to have it Wednesday night for dinner. Oh well! We had KFC instead. *giggle* The directions aren’t all that great. You saute the onion and garlic in…

  • Hoisin Pork Tenderloin

    Hoisin Pork Tenderloin

  • Wild Mushroom and Beef Stew

    Wild Mushroom and Beef Stew Cooking Light, December 2005 So, I didn’t make this as a stew so much as a roast. I didn’t chop up the beef, cover it with flour, and brown it. I also made this in the crockpot yesterday for dinner. I reconstituted the porcini mushrooms in water as I didn’t…

  • Golden Potato-Leek Soup with Cheddar Toasts

    Golden Potato-Leek Soup with Cheddar Toasts Cooking Light, October 2005 YUM! This was REALLY good. We made it for a very filling lunch. Make sure you chop the leeks MUCH smaller than I did. Or blend part of the soup to make it really creamy. I took a potato masher, per the instructions, which worked…

  • Pasta Jambalaya

    Pasta Jambalaya Cooking Light, March 1998 This didn’t have enough sausage to suite me. I would slice it into thin slices and then slice those slices in half to spread the 7 oz out more throughout the pasta. I’d add WAY more cajun spices and more onions and peppers. It made for a really good…

  • Pork Tenderloin with Mustard Sauce

    Pork Tenderloin with Mustard Sauce Cooking Light, October 2001   Man was this fantastic!! The wine and mustard sauce was REALLY GOOD! I’d use that for other meats, that’s for sure. The pork was a little too done, but I don’t think I cut it up thick enough. It wasn’t dry, though. And it was…

  • Cuban-Style Chicken

    Cuban-Style Chicken Cooking Light, March 2005 Meh. It was good, but the pineapple chunks were just too huge. I’d cut them up more or would use canned crushed pineapple instead.

  • Mediterranean Couscous

    Mediterranean Couscous Cooking Light, January 2006 YUM! This was sooooo good!! I prepared the veggies the morning of and added the vinegar and lemon juice to the veggies so they marinated a bit.

  • Tilapia with Vegetables

    Tilapia with Vegetables sparkrecipes.com This was okay. The fish took WAY longer to cook than in the recipe. I think we needed to add more seasoning. I think you need to juice the lemons over the fish than put the slices on top. The juice didn’t seep out of the lemons enough to suite me.…

  • Braised Balsamic Chicken

    Braised Balsamic Chicken This was pretty good. It didn’t have enough of a balsamic flavor to suite me even though I doubled the amount.

  • Green Chile-Chicken Enchiladas

    Green Chile-Chicken Enchiladas recipe Cooking Light, December 2007 We used Old El Paso or Ortega green chile sauce. I can’t remember which. It was rather tangy.

  • Goulash

    Goulash Sparkrecipes.com YUMMY! This was really good and filling. Since BF made it, I can’t really tell what I’d change. I don’t think I’d change anything except the sauce.

  • Lemon-Basil Chicken with Basil Aioli

    Lemon-Basil Chicken with Basil Aioli Cooking Light, November 2005 YUMMY! This was really good. I would marinate the chicken a little in the dipping sauce before cooking it, though.

  • Green Chile-Chicken Casserole

    Green Chile-Chicken Casserole Cooking Light, November 2003 Okay, so I thought this was the OTHER casserole that I’ve already made, but it’s not.

  • Garden-Style Lasagna

    Garden-Style Lasagna January 2008 It took about an hour to prepare the veggies, about 10 minutes to assemble and 50 minutes to bake and rest. We used the no cook noodles. Don’t. There’s not enough moisture in the white sauce to cook the noodles properly. It was a little on the bland side, too. Next…

  • Barbecued Pork Chops

    Barbecued Pork Chops Cooking Light, March 2000 I spiced up the barbecue sauce a bit. I added some dry mustard, some smoked paprika, some garlic salt and some ground chipotle peppers.

So, I added some oregano, rosemary, Italian seasonings and some Pizza Seasonings.…

  • World’s Greatest Chicken Nachos

    World’s Greatest Chicken Nachos Cooking Light, JULY 1999 Yeah, not so much. I should have just cooked the ground turkey (had it instead of chicken) and added the tomatoes and jalapeno and that’s it. It tasted sweet. Doesn’t really go well with nachos. The baked Utz I used came out soggy because the turkey was…

  • Oven Fried Chicken Fingers with Honey-Mustard Dipping Sauce

    Oven Fried Chicken Fingers with Honey-Mustard Dipping Sauce Cooking Light, JULY 1999 These weren’t crispy at all. I even cooked them on a rack and close to the top of the oven. Still, not crispy.

  • Roasted Eggplant Salad

  • Garlic-Rosemary Roasted Chicken

    Garlic-Rosemary Roasted Chicken Cooking Light, APRIL 1997 YUM! I made the herb mixture with probably double the rosemary and with 10 cloves of garlic. I spread it on under the skin and the let it “marinate” of sorts in the fridge until we were ready to put it in. It made for a very tender…

  • Balsamic Pork Chops

    Balsamic Pork Chops Southern Living, OCTOBER 2001 These were quite good and easy to make. I think the sauce could have used some onion for an extra layer of flavor, though, and just a little more vinegar and less broth. The sauce didn’t thicken much, but that’s okay. It braised the pork chops making them…

  • Pork Tenderloin Studded with Rosemary and Garlic

    Pork Tenderloin Studded with Rosemary and Garlic Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2002 This was okay. I thought the garlic overpowered the rosemary a bit.

  • Pork Medallions with Porcini Mushroom Sauce

    Pork Medallions with Porcini Mushroom Sauce Cooking Light, MAY 2006 Too many onions. That’s all I thought of when I first tasted this recipe.

  • Mustard and Herb-Crusted Trout

    Mustard and Herb-Crusted Trout Cooking Light, DECEMBER 2003 Meh. This was okay. It didn’t get crispy enough to suite me. I don’t think I like the combination of mustard and fish.

  • Fettuccine Alfredo

    Fettuccine Alfredo

      Fettuccine Alfredo   Cooking Light, JANUARY 2007   I wasn’t sure about this recipe. I think it needs just a little more Parmesan than called for and maybe a little more milk, though. The sauce was rather thick. Or maybe just a splash of FF half and half. It was rather tasty, and we…

  • Oven-Roasted Beef Brisket

    Oven-Roasted Beef Brisket

    Oven-Roasted Beef Brisket Tom Perini I can’t tell you how much I LOVE this recipe. I DO NOT serve the sauce, as I think it’s too salty by the time the meat is cooked. By braising the brisket with beef broth, it makes it nice and juicy and just falls apart when you slice it.…

    Home-Style Meat Loaf Cooking Light, MARCH 1998 I love this recipe. I shape it in a loaf pan, and then put it on a roasting rack covered in aluminum foil to get rid of some of the grease that comes out. The ketchup glaze is deliscious, too!! I always grate the onion and garlic so…

  • Pork Chops Italian

    Pork Chops Italian Southern Living, JANUARY 2004 Meh. This was more like pork parmesan. It was very tasty, but I think our pork wasn’t too good. It was a little on the tough side. It would have been better probably with scallipini style pork and quick fry it. I don’t know if I’d make this…

  • Balsamic Rosemary Pork

    Balsamic Rosemary Pork Cooking Light, APRIL 2004 This was mighty tasty. I think I would let the sauce cook a little longer to make it more syrupy, but it was excellent none-the-less. Be carefuly not to overcook the pork on the first round. Ours was a little tough because of that. I served this with…

  • Champion Chicken Parmesan

    Two-Cheese Scalloped Potatoes

    Two-Cheese Scalloped Potatoes Cooking Light, NOVEMBER 1998 Meh. The addition of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce makes this taste interesting to say the least.
