Healthy BBQ & Grilling Recipes: Melitzanosalata Agioritiki (Athenian Eggplant Salad)
Aug 26, 2012 This was delicious and very easy to make. My grill was not working properly, so the eggplant was only partially cooked in the time I needed it, so I diced it up and use the olive oil and 1 small minced clove of garlic to sauté it until it was fully cooked, removed it from the heat. and mixed in the rest of the ingredients while eggplant was still hot. Chilled for an hour and it was wonderful. I will make this again, for sure.—dochele

Healthy Breakfast Recipes: Kale and Banana Smoothie
Aug 25, 2010 The first time I made this, I followed the recipe as written, except that I used cow's milk. It was just okay (three stars). Today I tried it again with a few more changes. In addition to using cow's milk (because that's what I like and what I have on hand), I added a big handful of frozen strawberries, four or five ice cubes, and extra milk. I liked it much better that way . . . both because it was cold and because the flavor was fruitier. It was almost milkshake-like. My little boy (almost 2 yrs old) loved it. With the modifications, this is a four-star recipe.—Elisabeth Thomas
Healthy Main Dish Recipes: Blackened Chicken
Aug 08, 2003 Not exactly my "type" of blackened chicken, though, most will probably find it delicious. I used real onion (not powdered) and a bit of garlic as well. Was good, but just not what I was looking for. I prefer a spicier and crispier blackened chicken and this one was not spicy enough for my tastes and was a bit too moist (sheesh is that possible?). If you like 'em hot and cripsy, seek a different recipe, if you like 'em moist with a mild tang, you'll like this. :)—JEMJEN24

MyPlate Recipes: Avocado and Edamame Dip
Jun 01, 2010 Okay, so I decided to try this out to step away from the normal guac and it turned out really well. I modded the recipe a little to work with what I had in my kitchen. I subbed a stalk of chives for the cilantro, a lime for a lemon and chicken stock for olive oil. I also decided to sweeten the onions up by sautéing them in the last drops of my olive oil. And I used two avocados that were medium sized. So the recipe may have been changed around a good bit but the heart of it was the same. The guac/dip/spread had a great nutty flavor while still allowing the richness of the avocado to play with the citrus and spices present. And just to backup the validity of this seemingly odd recipe, two of my hispanic friends who have grown up with and enjoy authentic guacamole LOVED it. Make this the next time you're looking for a little change of pace!—laxking15
Special Diets: Vegan Lasagna II
Dec 05, 2008 Very good! I sauteed a chopped onion with the garlic. Then I added a dash of nutmeg, a liberal sprinkle of vegan 'Parmesan', and a can of artichoke hearts, minced, to the spinach mixture. Awesome, awesome! Looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow...—Tegan Mally
Low-Calorie Recipes: Okra, Corn and Tomatoes
Nov 02, 2009 This is awesome!! The family loved it. Alterations I made were: 10 slices of already cooked bacon, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup large yellow(sweet) onion diced in big pieces, 2 cloves garlic sliced, 1-15 oz frozen okra, 1/2 bag frozen corn, 1 can of petite diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil, Sea salt & cayenne pepper to taste. Cooked as per recipe. This is a keeper.—Bunny B
Healthy Side Dish Recipes: Bulgur Wheat with Dried Cranberries
Aug 29, 2008 This recipe is wonderful. I used home made chicken stock, onions, a little garlic and parsley to balance the flavors. Bulgur is a high fiber, protein grain. Use it to replace rice or potatoes. B.J. Corpening—BJ from GA

Healthy Appetizer Recipes: Fresh California Salsa
Jul 17, 2006 As written I would have to give this a four but I added some stuff that I thought brought it up to 5*s. I used 7 roma tomatos (pureed 2 of them), used a whole vidila onion, added 1 c. of corn & 1 c. of black beans (drained & rinsed), I didn't seed the jalapeno & I also added one habanero (I did seed it). At the end, hubby & I argued as to whether it needed a bit of sugar or vinegar, I won the arguement & we added 1 tbp. plus 1 tsp. of white wine vinegar... this really helped bind the flavors together & strangely enough, seemed to add the bit of sweetness my hubby thought it needed. I think we may have just made the best salsa ever!—IMVINTAGE
Healthy Lunch Recipes: Spring Greens Borscht
May 06, 2012 A wonderful recipe, but I believe a step was left out. Since the recipe didn't say "dice/chop very very fine" I think that before the beaten eggs are added, the soup should be blended. It would also be helpful to have better instruction than "fill a large pot 3/4 full with water." I used my 5 1/2 quart Le Creuset pot, and filled it 3/4 full. By the time I added the 4 large potatoes, it was full to the brim. Since potatoes greatly vary in size, a weight would be helpful. We picked the sorrel from our community herb garden--as other reviewers have said it's hard to find sorrel in stores (including our local co-op). It would be nice to know how much a "bunch" of sorrel is.—Julianne
Super Foods: Turkey Frame Vegetable Soup
Dec 03, 2003 Great recipe, but I changed it a little since I had seasoned my turkey heavily to cook it - with rosemary, sage, and thyme. I did not cook ingredients 2-9 with my carcass, just cooked the carcass in water with bouillon cubes, and then pulled out the bones, cooled it, and removed the fat. Then I added ingredients 13-19, and onion, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. I served it with sour dough bread - WOW!—CASTLEBAILEY
Healthy Salad Recipes: Greek Garbanzo Bean Salad
Jan 21, 2011 What this recipe might lack in imagination and creativity is more than made up for in taste and presentation. I feel for any recipe submitter who has no choice but to list strict amounts of ingredients when that may or may not be their intent. Therefore, I'm sure the submitter would agree to add any ingredients, including the amount of dressing, to taste rather than specific measurements - which is what I did. I used my own lemon vinaigrette for the dressing which for my tastes is infinitely preferable to the "in" balsamic vinaigrettes. Other than that I used the ingredients as called for in the recipe with no additions or omissions save for some chopped parsley, although the leftover rotisserie chicken I have in the fridge looks like a promising addition for lunch today. Classic, light and refreshing, can't-go-wrong, good-for-you salad at a fraction of the cost you'd pay for it in your deli.—naples34102

Special Diets: Roasted Red Pepper Dip I
Nov 11, 2007 I didn't want this to be salsa-y, as other reviewers pointed out, so I did not put in the cumin, and instead used Italian herbs. It is good. I think less sugar next time (although I didn't put in the full amount called for originally)-its still too sweet. Fresh basil is nice in it. A bit more cooking to reduce it and maybe a splash of olive oil would make it more like what I was looking for. —amylouise
