Notes about Recipes in this book

• Triple coconut waffles

  • NJChicaa on May 22, 2023

    It is like impossible to get brown color on these waffles and even with 3 different types of coconut they don't really taste like it. I've given up on making them again.

• Strawberry kiwi quinoa breakfast parfait

  • NJChicaa on May 22, 2023

    very tasty but not great for meal prep. Next time I'd make the individual components, keep them separate, and assemble each morning.

• Grilled chicken paillard with arugula and shaved pecorino

  • j_f1zrd6 on March 09, 2026

    This ia delicious. We make it all the time.

• Spinach salad with pickled strawberries and poppyseed dressing

  • julesamomof2 on December 27, 2017

    Typical spinach salad but the lightly pickled strawberries are a nice touch.

  • cheryl_9rgvpq on March 05, 2026

    The pickled strawberries were so fun. I think some goat cheese would be a great addition.

• Kale Caesar salad

  • glortenzi79 on August 12, 2025

    This is one of my favorite recipes! Using a quart mason jar and my stick mixer, I make a double batch of the dressing every few weeks and keep it in the fridge. It is an addictive flavor bomb if you love tart Caesar dressing.

• Grilled zucchini, corn, black bean, and avocado salad

  • cheryl_9rgvpq on January 26, 2026

    Fun side dish, everyone enjoyed.

• Shrimp burgers with Old Bay mayo

  • Acarroll on October 26, 2024

    I was very pleasantly surprised. I even used very sub-par frozen shrimp (not on purpose, that's what I found in my freezer) and it didn't seem to affect the end result. I had to up the seasonings a LOT in both the mayo and burger mix, but the end result was very tasty. I tested the seasoning in the burgers by making a tiny little piece in the pan before going all-in.

• Adobo chicken tacos with pico de gallo and grilled corn

  • cheryl_9rgvpq on January 26, 2026

    Fantastic Tacos!

• Grilled smoky tofu tacos with black beans, peach cucumber salsa, and lime sour cream

  • cheryl_9rgvpq on January 26, 2026

    So good! Smoked the tofu ourselves on the Traeger.

• Fish tacos with creamy chipotle sauce and pico de gallo

  • glortenzi79 on January 03, 2022

    The creamy chipotle sauce is one of my favorites and excellent on any Mexican dish or even hamburgers.

• Corn fritters

  • jay.moe on July 24, 2022

    The corn fritters had a sweet, corn flavor and were nice and light. While draining on the paper towel-line plate, a sprinkle of salt would really enhance the fritter. It was a nice addition to a summer meal!

• Best barbecue ribs ever

  • cheryl_9rgvpq on January 26, 2026

    A little spicy, but delicious!

• Grilled hanger steaks with jalapeño butter

  • cheryl_9rgvpq on January 26, 2026

    Perfect!

• Hoisin ginger pork chops

  • jay.moe on November 02, 2025

    This was a quick recipe that was easy to put together, but tasted like it took a lot of effort to make. Everyone complimented the dish.

  • cheryl_9rgvpq on January 26, 2026

    Great! Marinated for 6 hrs. Will do it overnight next time.

• Vegetable manicotti

  • NJChicaa on May 22, 2023

    This recipe is easy and delicious. I've made it many times and will continue to do so.

• West Virginia-style hot dogs

  • cheryl_9rgvpq on January 26, 2026

    It's National Chili Dog Day. This was the prefect recipe, delicious!

• All-American potato salad

  • cheryl_9rgvpq on January 26, 2026

    Good, but not "The One".

• Moroccan carrots

  • NJChicaa on May 06, 2018

    Excellent

• Peach blueberry skillet cobbler

  • lucia_dbdl2m on May 26, 2026

    I make this at least 4 times a summer. It’s so easy. You can swap in any fruit and easily cut in half if you don’t want a full cobbler

• Light lemony berry cheesecake

  • julesamomof2 on August 29, 2022

    This was a nice and light desert and it turned out exactly like the picture. The cottage cheese blended perfectly smooth with the rest of the ingredients but that said, it did taste ever so lightly of cottage cheese so know that when deciding to make this. I only had a 10 inch springform pan (instead of the 9 inch called for) so I doubled the crust and that worked well.
