Notes about Recipes in this book

  • The Fresh 20 turkey burgers with carrot slaw

    • Cheri on June 23, 2013

      Substituted red pepper for green, added minced scallions. Loved this recipe. Serve with ketchup (even from the bottle, if you don't have time to make your own). This is REALLY good, and somehow you do feel better when you eat this "junk food". Definitely a summer staple. I did modify, I just made single burgers, with a slice of cheese on the top (not wedged in the middle of two burgers) - sometimes there just be too much a of a good thing. 5 minutes per side for single burgers seemed to work to cook through. Lovely. Made extras for the freezer.

  • Honey lime drumsticks with watermelon salad

    • Cheri on June 23, 2013

      This was just ok, but not as much zing as I had hoped for. Probably won't repeat.

  • Braised-beef skillet lasagna with green salad

    • monica107 on November 29, 2014

      Liquid needs to be added to the bottom of the pan (canned tomatoes and/or their juice) to prevent the onions from burning. The noodles were very al dente when made as directed.
