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…

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…
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. I swapped it for some worcestershire and some marsala.

Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo
Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo Cooking Light, SEPTEMBER 2011 No…I did not serve this with asparagus. I also did not include the chives. It just sounded weird to me. This was YUMMY and will be the staple for my alfredo craving. Not so good reheated the next day. You will…
Hungarian Goulash
Hungarian Goulash Cooking Light, SEPTEMBER 2011 This is DEFINITELY NOT a weeknight meal…unless you have the day off like I did. Prep is about 15 minutes. Cook is about an hour plus… *sigh* I really should learn to read the directions a little better. For those of you…
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. They always add an earthy heartiness to any dish you add them to. The shiitake, if you’re not careful the stems are tough. I would…
Chicken Puttanesca with Fettuccine
Chicken Puttanesca with Fettuccine Cooking Light, September 2010 I love this dish! It’s easy, it’s yummy, it’s pretty cheap….there’s not a bad thing I can say about this. I usually don’t add the olives, but for it to be a true puttanesca you have to add the olives….
Lemon-Rosemary Chicken Breasts
Lemon-Rosemary Chicken Breasts Cooking Light, May 2010 True to form, I didn’t follow this recipe all that much. I kept most of the ingredients, but the method was completely different. I took a whole roaster and loosened the skin. I thinly sliced lemons and put them under the…
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…
Oregano and Lime Roasted Chicken Breasts
Oregano and Lime Roasted Chicken Breasts Cooking Light, April 2010 Again, I used the same flavors, but a different method with this recipe. I loosened the skin from the roaster and put thinly sliced limes under the skin, rubbed the meat with the oregano and some cumin and…

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…
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. BOTH times, the sliced banans were overcooked. I’ve cut the time by 5mins, but I’m thinking either my oven is too hot (note…

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. I should have used more the Cajun seasonings. It didn’t taste much like the spices even though we used…
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. It was really simple and easy and took longer to bake than anything. I did not blend the marinade turned…
BLT Bread Salad

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. I used Greek yogurt, which was thicker than regular yogurt. I substituted coriander for cilantro, as I cannot STAND cilantro. I let the…
Mexican Ham and Bean Soup
Mexican Ham and Bean Soup recipe Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2002 So CTM called me the day after I made this. “No more beans please.” “Spicy beans at that!!” Shoppers had spiral ham for 99 cents a pound. I couldn’t resist. I wanted a slow cooker meal to make…

New England Clam Chowder

Mustard Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Mustard Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin recipeCooking Light, January 2007 Can you guess? Yes, in fact I did have a large pork tenderloin to use up these last few weeks. That’s what happens when you can buy a HUGE one for $12 and get 4-5 meals out of it. This…
Jerk Pork Loin
Jerk Pork Loin RecipeEatingWell: May/June 2009 Wow was this good!! I was little hesitant as the recipe calls for a habanero, but I didn’t use the seeds and only 3/4 of the pepper. I forgot to marinate the loin in the mixture. So shoot me. It was still…
Pork Roast with Three-Mushroom Ragout
Pork Roast with Three-Mushroom Ragout recipeCooking Light, NOVEMBER 1998 I’m going to have to review this recipe again when I make it the way it’s supposed to be made. I forgot it was a slow cooker recipe and didn’t put it in the slow cooker the night before…

Tilapia in Mustard Cream Sauce
Tilapia in Mustard Cream Sauce recipeCooking Light, June 2005 This last bag of frozen tilapia I got from BJ’s has a taste I’m not too fond of, so I’m trying to find recipes that will mask the flavors. This worked well. It was pretty good, too! The sauce…

Fudgy Brownies
Fudgy Brownies recipeCooking 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…
Herbed Pork with Sautéed Wild Mushrooms
Herbed Pork with Sautéed Wild Mushrooms 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…
Creamy Fish Chowder
Creamy Fish Chowder recipeEatingWell: 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…
Barbecue Pulled Chicken
Barbecue Pulled Chicken recipeEatingWell: 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…
Braised Cabbage and Leeks with Turkey Sausage
Braised Cabbage and Leeks with Turkey Sausage recipeCooking 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…
French-Style Shrimp Salad

Turkish Chicken Thighs
Turkish Chicken Thighs 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…
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. I normally like goat cheese, but for some reason this recipe didn’t do it justice. I was more…
Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas recipe MAY 2009 I was a little skeptical with the yogurt, but then I thought it was close to cream cheese and it’s used in several enchilada recipes. So, I ran with it. I had some chicken left over from the tamale casserole I…
Peasant Stew

Spring Seafood Stew
Spring Seafood Stew recipe Cooking Light, May 2002 I had a few scallops, a piece of halibut, and bought some shrimp to make this. I didn’t use all the seafood listed in the ingredients. I needed something that would use up the bits and pieces of seafood I…
Sautéed Halibut with Lemon-Pesto Butter
Sautéed Halibut with Lemon-Pesto Butter recipe Cooking Light, September 2009 Yes, we were without internet for a while. It was sad…and boring. This, on the other hand, was very interesting. I still have some of the pesto butter in the fridge. I think it would make an interesting…
Fresh Tomato Sausage and Pecorino Pasta
Fresh Tomato Sausage and Pecorino Pasta recipe Cooking Light, September 2009 We had this tonight for dinner. Now, I don’t know what I was on when I created the shopping list. I guess I thought we had enough Parmesan cheese to make this recipe. No, I had not…
Seared Scallops over Bacon and Spinach Salad with Cider Vinaigrette

Steak Diane
Steak Diane recipe Cooking Light, July 2005 I’ve never had steak diane before, so I didn’t know what to expect. It was pretty good. Really good, even. I don’t know what the big deal is about this dish because it was really easy to make and didn’t take…
Blueberry Pancakes

Chicken-Pasta-Mushroom Dish
Chicken-Pasta-Mushroom Dish recipe Cooking Light, October 2002 I didn’t make this. CTM had it mostly done by the time I got home. It looked pretty easy and I’m sure it if was too difficult, he would have waited for me to get home to help him. …
Salmon Croquettes with Rémoulade
Salmon Croquettes with Rémoulade recipe Cooking Light, January 2005 I’ve kind of made this recipe before, but for some reason I don’t see it on here. Note to self, buy the canned salmon in the small cans that does not have the bones and skin. O M G…
Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed Peppers recipe Cooking Light, January 2003 This was pretty easy, tasty, and FILLING! I couldn’t eat the whole portion!! I thought it was going to be bland, and just by chance used spaghetti sauce. I had plain tomato sauce for it, but couldn’t find the second 8…
Boneless Pork Chops with Mushrooms & Thyme – Eating Well
Boneless Pork Chops with Mushrooms recipe EatingWell Magazine August/September 2005 This was really easy to make. There weren’t enough mushrooms, I didn’t think. I put in the 1 1/2 cups but once they cooked down, there weren’t enough to suit me. I didn’t get vermouth. I already…
Three-Step Taco Salad
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. The “dressing” was interesting. CTM doesn’t like sour cream all that much, so…
Smothered Pork Chops with Onions and Cheddar Grits
Smothered Pork Chops recipe Cooking Light, MAY 2003 We had these last night for dinner. I didn’t have quick cooking grits (what self-respecting southerner does), but they didn’t take that much longer to cook than the quick ones. You need a really large pan for…
Three-Cheese Baked Penne
Three-Cheese Baked Penne recipe Cooking Light, May 2008 I really thought there should be more sauce to this recipe. I cooked the pasta al dente per the notes, but there really wasn’t a lot of liquid for them to continue cooking in. I would add more sauce…
Flatbread Dough
Flatbread Dough recipe Cooking Light, July 2008 I wanted to make this recipe to go with the skillet chicken souvlaki. I wanted a flat bread to wrap the sandwiches in instead of regular pita bread which usually falls apart. So, I divided the dough into four instead of…
Fresh Whole-Wheat Pitas
Fresh Whole-Wheat Pitas recipe Cooking Light, March 2009 These were bland. I’m not sure if I put in the right amount of salt. I think I did, but they were really bland and needed more. The dough was easy to make and proof. It was a little on…
Skillet Chicken Souvlaki
Skillet Chicken Souvlaki recipe Cooking Light, August 2009 Using my experience with the chicken, peppers and cashews recipe, I butterflied the breasts and then thinly sliced them. Worked like a charm! There weren’t huge slices of chicken in the recipe. The chicken was a little bland. I would…
Chicken, Cashew, and Red Pepper Stir-Fry
Chicken Cashew and Red Pepper Stir-Fry recipe Cooking Light, April 2009 You need to slice the chicken thinner than I did. I thinly sliced it, but I should have butterflied the breast before thinly slicing it. They came out to be rather large pieces of chicken in the…
Multi-Grain Waffles
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…
Pork Chops Marsala

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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….
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….
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
Banana Corn Muffins

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Tilapia with Sherry-Mushroom Sauce

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,…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Braised Chicken Thighs With Carrots and Potatoes
Braised Chicken Thighs With Carrots and Potatoes
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….
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. We used london broil instead of flank steak as it’s cheaper. I juiced about…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chile Sauce

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…
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…
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…
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…
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! I can’t put much on the chimichurri sauce. It was watery for some reason and I don’t think it really…
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…
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. This is one of those, I had a recipe and thought about following it but didn’t really, dishes. I used 1 1/2 cups of chicken…
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…
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. I had anticipated finding them last night, so I soaked all the bay leaves I had which was okay. I used them in the pot when…
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…
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…
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…
Cajun Red Beans and Rice

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…
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. It was the spicy part of the meal. However, it was rather tasty and we will probably make…
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. I think it would have had more moroccan flavor had it marinated longer, but it was yummy none-the-less. I…
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. I would add some zest or something… I did add some garlic salt and some red pepper flakes to make it little more interesting….
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. There’s more recipes for flank steak and you can cook them the same way with almost the same results. This was DELISH!!…
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. It didn’t take long to throw this meal together. It wasn’t easy getting 25 meatballs out of the…
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. So, I roasted it that way. I didn’t add the tomatillos and the onions…
Asian Flank Steak
Asian Flank Steak recipe Cooking Light, MAY 1996 Yeah, I’m not so great with cooking meat for some reason. This was mighty tasty, but I undercooked it at first…like WAY undercooked it. I didn’t have the right kind of vinegar so I used balsamic instead. I think it…
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…
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!! I only wish I had watched the fish closer and not cooked it to death. Toasting and grinding the cumin seeds made…
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. I would add more oregano and cut back on the lemon rind and juice. We served these with rice pilaf with shallots and parmesan….
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….
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…
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…
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. I thought I could find a cheaper bottle of kalamata olives ($5?? Are you kidding me??) I…
Sautéed Tilapia with Honey-Scallion Dressing
Sautéed Tilapia with Honey-Scallion Dressing recipe Cooking Light, AUGUST 2006 I wasn’t too sure about this, but it was pretty good once we made it. We did not serve it over lettuce. We made the garlic ginger rice (already reviewed) and added the green giant Asian vegetable steamer…
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. Anyway, from what I learned with the “other” lemon breading dish, I put all the coating ingredients into the mini…
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. I sauteed them with the onion and garlic, then added the broth and rice. I forgot the chives, though. It was yummy just…
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. The peppercorns were interesting. They added a heat to the dish. I’d never used them before. I think this…
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. They really remind me more of muffins than cupcakes. I’ve been snacking on them for a about a week or so. Measuring cups and…
Chicken and Vegetables with Herbs
Chicken and Vegetables with Herbs Better Homes and Gardens There’s not a lot of vegetables in this recipe. I was thinking there would be more, but no. There’s onions and mushrooms. It was pretty good, though. CTM ate two of the chicken breasts. We served it with egg…
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…
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. Added a little more fiber than the recipe called for. I pulsed the bread crumbs, then added the…
Creamy Feta-Spinach Dip
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. It’s very garlicky though, so you might want some gum or breath mints. LOL. I used…
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! I tossed the chicken thighs in the sauce and then roasted them in the oven. They were really good!! I think, though, the…
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. The vinegar and the sweet sauce made it a little sweet and sour. I doubled the sauce and only had 1…
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…
Onion Rice Pilaf
Onion Rice Pilaf Southern Living, NOVEMBER 2004 I’m soooooooooo guilty of not reading the directions. I got the part where you’re supposed to bake the rice and said, “Who in the hell bakes rice??” I didn’t do that. I cooked it on the stove. It was pretty good,…
Lemon-Dill Salmon Croquettes with Horseradish Sauce
Lemon-Dill Salmon Croquettes with Horseradish Sauce Cooking Light, January 2008 What else is new, I didn’t follow the recipe. *snort* They didn’t have the salmon in the pouches, still, and I had a coupon for Startkist buy 2 get one free so I wasn’t about to waste that….
Cajun Salmon Cakes with Lemon-Garlic Aioli
Cajun Salmon Cakes with Lemon-Garlic Aioli Cooking Light, JULY 2005 These were okay. I didn’t really read the directions, but then again what else is new!! I made 4 large ones instead of 8 little ones. Same difference as far as servings go. I think I like other…
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…

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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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….
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…
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….
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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….
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…

Herb up your dinner game with succulent herbed pork with sautéed wild mushrooms.
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Banana Pudding

Bouillabaisse
Bouillabaisse Cooking Light, JUNE 1995 There’s no picture for this recipe. I TOTALLY did NOT read the directions before I put this one on the menu. It’s made in the microwave! What’s up with that?? I DID NOT make it in the micro. I sauteed the onions in…

Wasabi and Panko-Crusted Pork with Gingered Soy Sauce Cooking Light, MARCH 2006 This was awesome! The pork cooks up quickly and is very crispy with the panko breadcrumbs. Man, I love those things. The sauce is VERY tasty, but it didn’t make a lot of sauce. I would…

Colonel Benjamin’s Curry Chicken
Colonel Benjamin’s Curry Chicken Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2003 Well, I didn’t really follow this recipe to a T. I am one of the fortunate people to have ACTUAL masala from India. Thank you, Mrs G! Her mother sent some back and I got a little baggie…
Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp Scampi Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2003 I watched while CTM made this dish. It was so funny! I came home and the first place I go is the kitchen to put my lunchbox away and on the counter were the mise en place ingredients. (All the ingredients for…
Italian Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Italian Stuffed Chicken Breasts Cooking Light, MAY 1997 Okay, so we didn’t actually use CHICKEN BREASTS! We had pork chops in the freezer and stuffed those. Figure, the taste of the stuffing wouldn’t change THAT much. I was right! It didn’t. Being as the recipe is mainly for…
Beef Daube Provençal
Beef Daube Provençal Cooking Light, SEPTEMBER 2007 So, I’m not really making this per the directions. I did put it in my slow cooker, but then I added about 2 cups of baby bella mushrooms, used dried thyme instead of fresh, added 4 cups of water to cover…

Beef Goulash
Beef Goulash Cooking Light, MARCH 2006 We made this recipe last night. We didn’t follow the directions to a T because, seriously, 2+ hours?? I don’t think so. I think it’s something I would convert to a slow cooked recipe, though. So, we followed the directions to the…
Swedish Meatballs
Swedish Meatballs recipe Cooking Light, JULY 2006 YUM! These were delicious. I made them with beef instead of chicken because that’s what we had on hand, but they were still FABULOUS! There wasn’t enough sauce to suit my BF, which I agree. For all the meatballs we made,…

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. They were runny, undercooked, and the cheese didn’t blend well with the milk mixture. I don’t think I’ll make this one again. If you decide…
Frozen Peanut Butter Pie
Frozen Peanut Butter Pie Cooking Light, AUGUST 2007 YUM! That’s about all I can say about this pie. It’s easy to make and the filling is TO DIE FOR! I even put the left over filling in ramekins in the freezer because I didn’t want to waste it….

Tuna Romanoff
Tuna Romanoff Cooking Light, JANUARY 1995 This recipe, to me, seemed like a traditional Tuna Noodle Casserole with the addition of mushrooms and pimientos. I never add the pimientos. Just can’t bring myself to pay that much for a jar of them. I may try some…
Home-Style Meat Loaf
Home-Style Meat Loaf Cooking Light, MARCH 1998 Photo courtesy of Southern Living, APRIL 2005 This meatloaf was DELICIOUS! I would use a thermometer, though, mine was a little under cooked after the allotted time. We’re making this tonight for dinner, too. The sandwiches and left overs from this…
