"Overall good. The most significant problem I had was with the thickness of the sauce. It seemed pretty thick when I started and got far too thick at the end. As such, I returned some water too it. I thought the meatballs were good, but the kids thought they were too spicy. Therefore, I recommend cutting the red pepper in half if you are cooki"

"Overall, good recipe. Straightforward and easy to fix. I liked the taste, but my family, inexplicably, was only lukewarm. The average rating from the family was 3.33 stars."

"Far too much red onion in proportion to the cucumber. If I try to finish this off, my spouse won't get near my breath for a month. In retrospect, I should have made a half recipe. I guess I'll use small portions of it on salads for the next week. It should be OK as an accent, but is far too strong by itself. "

"Overall, a strightforward recipe that was well-liked. The recipe did not specify which type of canned tomatoes, so I went with canned whole plumb tomatoes. It probably doesn't matter that much sice the sauce will be pureed anyway. I agree with the other reviewers who said that the sauce was a little too thin. I used 1/4 tsp of red pepper, which..."

"Overall, not a big hit for the family. The younger kids hated it and the older kids and adults rated it only slightly better. I'm the leaset finicky in the family, and thought it was an OK low fat dish. My wife did not like the spice combination. Nonetheless, the recipe worked as advertised and the preparation was very easy."

"I prepared the "dressing" option of this recipe and it was not a real winner. The average rating from my family was 3 stars. Although my family can be pretty finicky, I thought this assessment was generous at best. First, the the dressing recipe was too thick to realistically use as a dressing. Second, the crushed crackers gave it an uneven con..."

"I had hoped the add ons would make brussel sprouts palatable to the kids. This did not occur and, with my kids, was probably too high of an obstacle to clear. Accordingly, the kids gave it an average 1.67 stars. For my tastes, I though it was a good twist on brussel sprouts, although perhaps included too much salt."

"Very rich, deicious pancakes, although they take a long time to prepare. The only problem with the recipe was that 5 mins was a bit too long to cook the bananas. I burned some of the slices. For the final result, two kids really liked the dish, one finicky kid would rather have Bisquick pancakes. Thus the average rating from the kids was 3.67 s..."
