 Southwestern Meat Loaf, p. 139
    (I haven't really tried any other meatloaf yet to compare to, but we REALLY like 
     this one.  Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.)
    (I just made this.  It has green peppers in it, and I wasn't sure how I would 
     like it.  I like green peppers, but only in certain dishes.  I'm glad I tried 
     it.  It will be used again!!  I'm sure this will be one that my husband will 
     ask "Is this a HEALTHY recipe?".  He can't believe that some of the things I 
     make are actually healthy.) 
    (Since I have made [this], and it has become our favorite, I haven't made 
     meatloaf my old way in a long time.)
    ([This] is our favorite [meatloaf].
    (And [this] was really good.  It's a definite keeper.)

 Fantastic Frankfurter Tetrazzini, p. 193    Yahoo Access
    (This is one of my favorite HE Recipes.  I'm making it this week for my family.)
    (What's on your menu for Father's Day. . . .  I need ideas. . . . 
     Our favorite is [this].)

 Nacho Squares, p. 160
    ([This and Baked Adobe Vegetable Stew (below)] are 
     two of our all time favorites. I've made both of 
     them so many times I can't count. . . . these 
     definitely belong on the favorites list! Both 
     are from Penny-Pinching Main Dishes, one of 
     my most used HE cookbooks.)
    (We are having a potluck at work and the theme this month is Mexican. . . . I know 
     there are tons of good Mexican type recipes in JoAnna's book, but I would like one 
     that you have tried and really like. . . .
     Another one we really like is [this].)

 Baked Adobe Vegetable Stew, p. 146
    (see above -- I usually put this in a bigger baking dish. 
     It really gives you a good size serving!) 

 Simmered Grande Pork Tenders, p. 164
    (I will definitely be making this again!  YUM!)
 Tomato Pot Pie, p. 86    Yahoo Access
    ([This] is a recipe I have already tried and loved.  This woman is a genius!  But 
     I have said that before. . . . My Note: I add salsa (according to taste) when I 
     add the tomato stuff, and boil it down a little before I add the cheese.  I do 
     add some Sweet N'Low to cut the acidity of the tomato, and sometimes I add some 
     chili powder.  In the summer I use ripe tomatoes.)

 Goulash Jumble, p. 148
    (*****  This was definitely a keeper for us and we will have this some more, the 
     only change I made was to used wholewheat pasta.)

 Cabbage and Franks, p. 195
    (*****  (this is from the new CD-ROM)  Who would have thought that franks & cabbage 
     would make a good meal?  We used a brand of weiners available in Canada from Schneiders. 
     They are low fat, as I was unable to find the fat free.  We both enjoyed this.  We don't 
     have weiners very often, but feel this is one that our grandchildren would like.)
 Salmon Cups with Creamed Peas, p. 110
    (*****  (CD ROM)  Awesome.  Dennis and I love salmon dishes that use canned salmon.  This 
     was very much a surprise.  I expected it to be a creamed peas poured over the salmon cups 
     after they cooked.  [It wasn't.]  They were, as I said, awesome.)
 Skillet Chicken Cacciatore, p. 119
    (*****  This is more than 5 stars, we loved it!  We used spiral pasta instead of noodles is 
     the only change.)
 Italian Chef's Salad, p. 81
    (*****  We loved this.  We did not have any ham, so omitted it.)  
    (We had this first time in January, and we really like it.  So, we will probably have it at 
     least once a month for a while.  The olives I feel really make this dish.  I also changed 
     the mozzarella cheese to feta cheese, and it tasted like Greek Salad, sort of.) 
 Ham and Corn Chowder, p. 66
    (*****  We love this.  I am from the Maritimes and love chowders.  I used a low-sodium, low-fat 
     can of ham flakes for the ham in this chowder, and it was simply delicious.) 
 Baked Chicken in Sweet and Sour Sauce, p. 124
    (Fabulous -- only change we made was we did not have sugar free grape spreadable fruit.  I 
     can't find that in Canada, so used S/F spreadable marmalade.  Both Dennis and I enjoyed it 
     and we will have it again real soon.) 

 Ballpark Franks, p. 192

 Broccoli Rice Quiche, p. 85
