About me: I live in Colorado and cook for my family; my husband, my 20-year-old daughter (who is in college), and my 18-year-old son (a VERY picky eater). I love cookbooks and have quite a collection but am always looking to add more. I have been known to take a cookbook to bed and read it before falling asleep. Lately, I have found myself getting a lot of recipes off the internet and not using my cookbooks much. I would like to change this. I am anxious for this site to take off (and it will) and for the volume of recipe reviews to grow. It is such a great idea!

Skillet Blueberry Cobbler from Weber's Real Grilling

Excellent. We did overcook it slightly on the grill but we just need to get better at grill baking! Served it to a group of 5 and everyone loved it. read more >

Saved By Soup: More Than 100 Delicious Low-Fat Soups To Eat And Enjoy Every Day

By Judith Barrett

A great soup. I add more liquid as it gets very thick when made to recipe.

We think that this is a slightly unusual soup and a great change of pace. We love it with the lima beans and basil!

Lots of garlic and creamy texture with running the beans through an immersion blender. Very good flavor. One of constant repeats.

Great hearty soup. We love all of the vegetables in this and with the chicken it is a complete meal (although we usually have bread and cheese too). I sometimes add 1/4 - 1/2 cup each of corn, green beans, and peas (thanks to my Aunt Bonnie).

Wonderful recipe. We have made this many times throughout the winter. We usually add a little more liquid as it is SO packed with goodies that there is not enough broth.

This is an unusual soup. I have not cooked red lentils before but they were easily found at Whole Foods. They were more pink than red. However after I had simmered the soup for 45 mins covered - the soup was golden colored. It looked like corn soup! I could taste the ginger, which I liked - but couldn't get over the color. Soup was ok - there are a lot of better ones in this book.

I have since learned that I don't know my ingredients very well - apparently red lentils lose their color when cooked. Go figure.

This soup is very good. Wonderful flavor. I usually have to add more liquid to the soups made from this book but not this one. I make this to recipe.
