About me:
I generally prefer to eat healthy, and I like a wide variety of foods. Although tried and true dishes are nice, I love being experimental with food and trying new flavors. I married a wonderful husband, who wasn't so adventurous with food, and was known to be "picky." My challenge is to make healthy food taste good enough for my hubby to love. My idea of "splurging" at the grocery store is getting asparagus on sale that was not on my grocery list, impulse purchase of radishes because they looked so pretty, or buying gourmet sea salt. I'm also hoping to start a baking business.

Sturdy Whipped Cream Frosting

Reviewed on Dec. 1, 2008 by chibi chef
Easy, great flavor, and fairly sturdy. It didn't melt, but it wasn't the best for piping. When piped, the details didn't come out as sharply as buttercream. I had to add a package of whipped cream stabilizer to stiffen it up some more. However, this would work fine as is for regular icing.

Cream of Fresh Asparagus Soup II

Reviewed on Nov. 19, 2008 by HOOTIEBOY
Doubled the recipe. Didn't add any milk or sour cream (I had bought soy milk and vegan "sour cream" to add but decided against it because it had the perfect consistency). Added a bit more fresh lemon juice than the recipe called for. It was absolutely delicious!

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed on Nov. 3, 2008 by chibi chef
Looking at the recipe and posted pictures, I knew right off the bat that I was going to change the ingredients to make the filling more moist and creamy. Instead of boiling the veggies (I added a yukon gold potato), I sauteed them in butter until golden, seasoned with a small pinch of sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, and italian seasoning, and then added meat (had to use up rosemary turkey breast). Instead of broth and flour, I used a can of healthy request condensed cream of chicken soup with half a can of lowfat milk, cooked until boiling. I used the buttery flaky pie crust recipe and made just a top crust to cut some of the fat. I didn't measure the veggies or meat so I'm not sure if the soup & milk would make a perfect substitution if one were to follow the recipe. I just used 2 carrots, 3 celery stalks, 1 onion, 1 potato, and about 3 cups cubed turkey breast.
