Notes about Recipes in this book

• Creamy garlic dressing two ways: rich and slim

  • kari500 on June 12, 2016

    This is a really good, easy dressing. Likely to have all ingredients around. Made the rich way and loved it; will try the slim way too.

• Broccoli or broccoli raab pesto

  • hbakke on March 25, 2021

    Page 18. This has a prominent broccoli flavor and makes a very dry, paste-like pesto. I would recommend adding more oil.

• Sara's hard-cooked eggs

  • nutrica6 on October 23, 2023

    cover the pot with a lid while waiting for it to come to a boil

• Turkish poached eggs with yogurt and sage oil

  • cellenly on April 21, 2020

    All the people in the family who liked tzatziki loved it, and those who didn't hated it. The yogurt/garlic sauce had that tzatziki feel to it. Didn't have sage so substituted basil and mint, and it was good.

• Chorizo-stuffed mushrooms

  • nutrica6 on October 23, 2023

    everyone liked these, definitely easier if you can find big mushrooms to get more filling in them. I had extra filling

• Guacamole eggs

  • nutrica6 on October 23, 2023

    These needed a lot more salt. Would be interesting to whip the filling a little more, as I found it to be somewhat dense.

• A summer salad from Paris

  • nutrica6 on October 23, 2023

    I felt this needed a little more flavor, possibly from balsamic vinegar.

• Smoky fish chowder

  • TrishaCP on September 25, 2022

    This was very tasty, but so, so, rich. Maybe because I used smoked salmon, since that was what I had on hand. I also think you can halve the bacon to no ill effect.

• Asian chicken salad with carrot ginger sauce

  • Toppermom on September 13, 2012

    pg 122. I made this last night. Really enjoyed the flavors. My husband said he didn't expect to like it but really enjoyed it. An easy and light dinner for a busy week night. The dressing is really good.

• Smoky cheese grits with summer succotash

  • acfrey on September 03, 2011

    Easy flavorful way to use summer vegetables. Great vegetarian option for main dish.

• Turkey meatballs with broccoli pesto and orzo

  • hbakke on March 25, 2021

    Page 185. This was alright. It may have been the prosciutto I used, but the meatballs were very salty. I did like the idea of the meatballs and the texture was great, but if I made this again I would decrease the salt in the meatballs and use a traditional pesto. The broccoli pesto was a bit too sulfur smelling to me. Just kind of weird.

• Buffalo rice

  • Kfaber on October 17, 2013

    Very tasty! Might go a tiny bit lighter on the blue cheese next time

• Pumpkin coconut bars

  • nutrica6 on October 23, 2023

    These are so good! The gingersnap crust is amazing. I will try to use the recipe to make a pie for Thanksgiving.
