"Good word, natty in the ki. Chef #1155527: read what natty in the ki had to say. Her comments are helpful and to the point. You don't need to tear others down in order to boost your own ego. This recipe is good whether you use pre-made mashed potatoes or make your own."

"I've only made quinoa one other time and there wasn't anything about it or my household's reaction to it to encourage me to try it again. This looked like it should taste amazing - and it did! I did toast it prior to adding the liquid (I used chicken stock instead of water), as one reviewer suggested. I also used a lemon instead of a grapefruit (which I can't have). All the spices and the dried cherries made it taste fantastic. The lettuce didn't add much, but I'll definitely do the quinoa part of it again. Loved it!

"This LOOKED good, but I was a little leery of adding so much salt to a drink. I was in a hurry, trying to get everything else done, so I asked my chef son to make it. Because of some of the reviews saying it was too salty, I told him to just start with a little and add from there. He just went ahead and put the whole amount in. I tried it. The 1st taste in my mouth was salt, but once it reached the rest of my mouth, there was hardly any (too much) salty flavor; it was just refreshing. It actually was a bit addicting! Everyone loved it. I'll definitely make this again.

"This looked like it would be very tasty, so I tried it. I'm not fond of arugula so I used heart of romaine (good choice). I happened to purchase one of the sweetest honeydew melons I've ever tasted, so that was a plus. Everything went really well together: the agave syrup, the pepper, the mint, even the olive oil. I would have liked to actually see her pour the agave and olive oil over the salad to better judge amounts, but what I did turned out great. I wasn't sure if the romaine would be flavored much by everything on top, but it was - very delicately. Everyone loved it.

"This looked good, so I tried it. My entire household loved it. I only used about 2/3 of a pound of fettucine, but kept all the other amounts the same. The egg and saffron-infused chicken broth really made a great "sauce." The only thing I'd change when I make this again would be to use more vegetables. I loved the little matchsticks of zucchini! There didn't seem to be as many as I'd like there to have been, even with the reduced amount of pasta.
