This was amazing! Totally cured the lettuce wrap craving, and the dipping sauce mentioned in one of the reviews is a must! We used all of the ingredients except the chili sauce b/c I didn't have it. So I put some red pepper flakes in the meat mix and a little ground red pepper in the dipping sauce. Was fabulous!

Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups

Reviewed: Sep. 21, 2010

My mother in law would always make these for showers or parties except she would spread a little bit of yellow mustard on the dough before adding the ham and cheese. Then after they cooled she would cut them into pinwheel type things. Awesome!

Green Grape Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2008

So, I don't like most nuts in recipes. But I usually add them if it is called for because most of my family likes nuts. This salad was wonderful even with the pecans! I tasted it before I added the brown sugar and it was really good. But after the brown sugar it was GREAT! Can't wait to impress the family at our Christmas dinner!

Candy Cane Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2008

I tried this after reading all of the good reviews. I followed it exactly and I wasn't very impressed because I'm not real fond of white chocolate(just my personal preference I guess.) And the candy cane mixed in made it pretty hard. The second time I made it I split the condensed milk in half and in two separate pans I made half with 10 oz of white chocolate and the other half with 10 oz of milk chocolate chips (with 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract in each. I followed one of the reviewers suggestions of putting several "dots" of food coloring in and only mixing 2-3 times (just enough to swirl.) I then unevenly poured the white chocolate in a saran wrap lined casserole dish and then unevenly poured the chocolate over and around the white chocolate. I swirled a little and spread the fudge evenly. I sprinkled the crushed candy cane on top. It was so good!! The mixture of the milk chocolate and the fudge was perfect for my taste (the white fudge only was too much for me and I could taste the condensed milk a little) Though it kinda gets on my nerves when people review recipes only to have changed them completely, I had to post this. I will see what my friends think of it tomorrow.

Baked Potato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2008

I love this soup, but can't make it very often because it is addicting. I add more bacon though because my hubby and I like the bacon chunks. And because the potatoes are baked first, it gives the potato chunks are silkier than boiled...if that makes sense. I've made this with part skim milk and part cream and it is still good, but it saves some calories.

Broccoli Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2008

I made this today for Thanksgiving and it was very good. The only thing I did different was to to add a garlic spice mixture (Goya's Adobo...which I pretty much add this to everything because it adds garlic, salt, pepper and some other spices)to the celery onion mixture because some of the other revies said it was bland. Per the other reviews I only used two or three stalks/ribs of celery and I don't even remember tasting it. This was a BIG casserole so if you want to feed a bunch of people use the whole thing, but cut it in half if you don't need as much. I only gave it 4 stars because I was actually looking for more of a "casserole-y" type of dish. But this was a delicious broccoli and cheese rice dish.

Linda's Lasagna

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2007

Excellent recipe!!! I actually DID use the cottage cheese to see how it worked and it was awesome...had never tried it before. I Blended it and it gave great texture and flavor. I actually don't eat cottage cheese but it was a great filler. Next time I think I'll try half ricotta and half cottage cheese to see how it goes. Don't knock the cottage cheese unless you try it :)
