Notes about Recipes in this book

• Mini apple-cranberry loaves

  • GiselleMarie on November 05, 2022

    I doubled this and baked it in two 9X5” loaf pans for about an hour. I mistakenly thought I had dried cranberries in my pantry, so I used raisins instead and it turned out very well. This makes a nice moist bread, but the apple flavor is slightly overpowered by the cinnamon and nutmeg, both of which we really like, so this was not a problem for us.

• Mustard chicken thighs with rosemary potatoes

  • kaityblueeyes on October 21, 2022

    Pretty good and simple. Flavor was milder than I was expecting. Cooked the chicken 5 mins more than written for crispy skin.

    This was ok. A 3 out of 5. As the previous note mentioned, not much mustard flavor. If we were to make it again we'd let the chicken sit in the marinade for awhile. We'd also consider boiling and reducing the marinade to a sauce consistency for adding at the table. 450 degrees at 35 minutes made for a very juicy thigh and lightly golden skin. We could not taste the rosemary in the roasted potatoes. Next time we'd sprinkle fresh rosemary on before presentation. The roasted fingerling potato and red bell pepper combination was very good. Nice sweetness. Pull the potatoes at 25 minutes so the red bell pepper strips do not burn. The recipe is available online. Search Food Network and the title.

• Greek spinach-stuffed chicken

  • Rutabaga on February 22, 2015

    This recipe makes a good (almost) one pot dinner, something the whole family enjoyed; just serve with a simple salad on the side. It ended up a little salty; maybe that was due to the reduction of the stock, although the dish was still brothy.

• Sautéed Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts

  • Rutabaga on March 24, 2015

    Simple and sweet! This is the type of dish that may well appeal even to those who don't like brussels sprouts (not that that describes us - we're long time fans of the petite cabbages). If your hazelnuts are already roasted, this dish only takes about 15 minutes to prepare.

• Hazelnut sandies

  • ecasey830 on December 01, 2019

    Easy to put together, tasty, and doesn't make too many (I only got 15 cookies of the 18 that the recipe says but I may have made mine a bit too large)

• New Mexicali green chile-cheese kugel

  • ecasey830 on March 08, 2020

    Comes together easily and very tasty!
