Notes about Recipes in this book

• Baked tilapia with herb butter

  • GiselleMarie on August 01, 2021

    Boring. This wasn’t hard but it did take some effort (mixing the chopped fresh herbs with softened butter, wrapping the sliced vegetables and fish in foil packets, etc.). The payoff just wasn’t there. Very little flavor.

• Turkey and vegetable chow fun

    Made this without any eggplant. I substituted diagonally sliced carrots and celery and large diced red peppers. Adding them to the stir fry first instead of the eggplant. Doubled the amount of mushrooms to 8 oz. Made it very vegetabley! I also used red rice Pad Thai noodles instead of fettuccine. This turned out great! Cilantro and sriracha on the side for those who don’t like.

• Broccoli-cheddar soup

    It was okay, but I made a substitution. I only had one cup of half-and-half on hand--so I had to substitute some buttermilk and whole milk for the other cup. I didn't really think it would affect the flavor in a soup though. But it was my first time making this particular recipe--so I'm not sure if it did.

    This is all right but not fantastic. The two cups of broccoli florets looked skimpy, so I added another two cups. Though I used extra sharp cheddar cheese, it didn’t have a strong cheesy flavor.
