Szechuan noodles reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (reviewed 5th October 2011)Pretty tasty sauce! It does come together quickly, but to me it seemed very heavy and gloppy. Is gloppy a word? I think you know what I mean.

Baked Tomato Casserole reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Everyday Food (reviewed 5th October 2011)This was good but I don't think I'd make it again since the three cheese mac and cheese (p. 52) I used the left overs from to go in this one lacked a little... | |
Simplest Corn Pudding reviewed by lemonadesandwichFrom: New York Times - Recipes (reviewed 5th October 2011)This was a nice change from eating plain corn on the cob. Grating the corn is tiresome after a while. I think next time I have to cook it longer - it... | |

Indian Samosa Casserole reviewed by kaye16From: Vegetarian Times (reviewed 8th October 2011)Quite good -- kind of a samosa pot pie -- but underspiced and oversweetened the way things frequently are at VegTimes, I think.

Zander on Pumpkin Slices with Dill Pesto / Zander auf Kürbisspalten mit Dillpesto reviewed by friederikeFrom: Kürbis (reviewed 9th October 2011)Meh.

Maple-Oatmeal Scones reviewed by bhnycFrom: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (reviewed 10th October 2011)I think these are good- not great. They weren't as maple-flavored as I had hoped they would be. I brought them to a brunch and other people seemed to like... | |

Roasted-Potato Fennel Soup reviewed by kateqFrom: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (reviewed 15th October 2011)I find it hard to rate this recipe. The end result was wonderful, but the way there was exceedingly bumpy. First, this is again a recipe for the multitudes--3... | |
Grilled Lemon Chicken reviewed by KimberlyBFrom: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (reviewed 18th October 2011)This is a simple easy go to recipe. I tend to like the flavor of bone in chicken so that is what I use. I also change it up by adding garlic and oregano... | |
Rosemary White Bean Soup reviewed by KimberlyBFrom: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (reviewed 18th October 2011)I'm not sure the good rating is justified because I used canned cannellini beans and not dried. I was looking to make a soup and just happened to have... | |
Fresh Corn Salad reviewed by KimberlyBFrom: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (reviewed 18th October 2011)With all the fresh corn during summer I thought this would make a good side dish. I love the concept but somehow the amount of basil overshadowed the... | |
Basque White Bean Soup reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites: Flavorful Recipes for Healthful Meals (reviewed 18th October 2011) A healthy soup but pretty mild flavor.

Salade de Lentilles Vertes reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Bistro Cooking (reviewed 21st October 2011)There is not much to this salad. I think it would have benefited from a little something, maybe some bacon or sausage, or some soft goat cheese. Even some... | |
Parmesan Smashed Potatoes reviewed by Peckish SisterFrom: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (reviewed 23rd October 2011)I used half the butter and substituted buttermilk for the heavy cream, but kept the sour cream. I wished I had added the melted butter first, then added... | |
Lemon Love Notes reviewed by kalamansiFrom: Bar Cookies A to Z (A to Z Cookbooks) (reviewed 24th October 2011)Don't be confused by the recipe title; these aren't lemon squares covered with gooey topping. The base is a butter cookie batter flavored with lemon... | |
Herb-Scalloped Potatoes reviewed by JaymeFrom: Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook (reviewed 25th October 2011)These turned out alright, but not as creamy and delicious as I remember scalloped potatoes to be. | |

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: The Cake Mix Doctor (reviewed 30th October 2011)The addition of chocolate to a cream cheese frosting seems rather strange. Its good on the cake, mostly because it isn't all that sweet, but when you... | |

Mrs. Raffald's bacon and egg pie reviewed by westerFrom: English Food (reviewed 18th November 2011)A very basic quiche, but good.
