"This reminds me of a soup mother frequently made - she'd use additional veggies and no cheese, but the concept is the same. A version of this soup is probably made in rural homes all over. I used part broth, part water, and added a few whole peppercorns and a bay leaf - I think these enhance this type of soup. I added milk close to he end of the c..."

"An excellent dish that has the added virtue of not requiring a whole lot of time in the kitchen. I used 1/2 lb of sea scallops for two servings, but made half the sauce, which was really the right quantity for us, with the scallops served over steamed rice. Instead of the snow peas, I used a frozen sugar snap stir fry mix - there are several very ..."

"This ended up with mixed reviews. Mr Grumpy kept looking at the meatballs, but could not make up his mind - I think he did not realize there were currants in them, and I did not tell him. He hated the kidney beans and picked them all out. I felt the broth could use a little something, so I ended up adding a chopped onion and some celery flakes. I ..."

"This was a delicious roast for a Sunday dinner. It's easiest to poke the garlic slivers in if you twist the knife blade slightly as it is piercing the meat and slide the garlic sliver down the blade and into the meat. The garlic permeated the meat. I used a mix of sweet and white potatoes for veggies, and I thought the sweet potatoes actually were..."

"Loved the flavor of the dish. I added a little bit of broccoli florets, as I had some to use. Cilantro roots are not sold in my area, so I added a bunch of cilantro stems, which added some nice flavor. I used three chicken thighs (two of which were small and needed pretty much all the rest of the ingredients to barely cover. It might not be enoug..."

"I, too, used fillets. This is a great basic recipe that can be modified to add different touches. I used seafood broth instead of chicken, which I think worked out quite well. I did add a touch of seasoning and a squeeze of lemon the poached salmon, and drizzled with the reduced poaching liquid - a bit of butter or glug of white wine would have be..."

"This was so-so for me, but Mr Grumpy liked them, so I am splitting the difference. I may have cooked the sauce a touch too long, it did not really pour over - or I should have added more beer. I will probably make it again, play around a little bit."

"I love this method of making lemon curd! I've made it in the past, but having to hover over the stove is just a problem - I get distracted and disaster strikes! I did not stir it quite as much as indicated, but it turned out perfect. I used a 4-cup glass measuring cup in my 5 qt cooker, which worked very well. I used regular sugar, dropped the zes..."

"An all-around winner. I did not have a green pepper, but did have a serrano and just chucked that in, which upped the spice value of this soup. I also needed something just a little heartier, so diced up a chicken thigh and threw that in, too. My tomato was anemic, so I added a bit of tomato paste. We could not wait, so I ended up not putting in a..."

"I like my refried beans to be pretty basic, as these are. I prefer to add seasonings that go with whatever I will be using them in. Now, I did have some technical problems, including letting the pot go dry, but managed to avoid total disaster. They probably dried out a touch between the cooking of the beans and the final steps, so I found that usi..."
