Poori Aloo Koora

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2012

Wow, really good, and it's actually a potato curry. VERY spicy but worth every bite! Didn't have (and couldn't find) black lentils, so left them out. Asafoetida powder is 1/2 onion powder, 1/2 garlic powder. Used regular flour for chickpea flour, and crushed red pepper for the whole, dried ones, and cumin powder and mustard powder for the seeds. Came out great!

Shredded Brussels Sprouts

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2012

Wow! That's all I can say. Even my 12-year-old, who normally gags on brussels sprouts, ate these and wanted more!

Baby BLT

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2012

I get raves every time I make these! I used some other suggestions: I use 1/2 Kraft Free Mayo and 1/2 fat free sour cream, cut a tiny slice off the bottom to keep them from rolling, and drain upside-down on paper towels so the tomatoes aren't so wet. Great!!!

Chili Seasoning Mix II

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2012

This is very good. I have to double it when making chili for my family - I have to make a lot! I think I use a little more chili powder - 2 Tablespoons, other than that I don't change a thing!

Oven Scrambled Eggs

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2012

Great recipe, and easy to adjust since I don't need quite this much when just cooking for my family! :) The eggs come out perfect and fluffy, and this frees me up to finish pancakes and bacon without worrying about burning anything. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Best Spanish Rice

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2011

OK, so I don't like rice. I had some Spanish rice made by a Latino woman and was hoping this would taste like hers. Everyone else in the house really liked it, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. I might make it again, but will try some others first.

Eggnog Cheesecake III

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2011

All I can say is "wow"! I don't like cheesecake but was ready to fight over this. To make a creamier cheesecake I always substitute 8 oz sour cream for 8 oz of the cream cheese; I did that but don't think that I needed to. It came out almost like a no-bake cheesecake. And the crust, as written, is very, very good. I wouldn't change a thing next time I make it. This has a very mellow, smooth eggnog flavor. I used an airplane sized bottle of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum.

Southern Dirty Rice

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2011

Great! I don't like rice, but loved this. I made it with pork sausage since no one in the house likes those particular chicken parts. I came out amazing! It's so good, we are having it again tomorrow so the kids can have it! Definitely a keeper!!

Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Chile Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2011

Amazing!! Perfect!! The only thing I do any differently is flour tortillas since no one in my family likes corn ones, and I spread about a teaspoon of sour cream on the tortilla before I do the chicken and cheese. That helps keep them soft, and with a good flour tortilla (not Mission) there's no need to pre-soften. Also, they are good without the green chilies, but incredible with. Green chilies aren't hot peppers so it's not something that you have to worry about. I usually get 16 or 17 enchiladas out of 3 good size chicken breasts. They come out so yummylicious that my kids, even my picky eater, requests them about 3 times a week. Seriously, if I could give more than 5 stars, I seriously would.

Indian Sweet Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2011

Good recipe. However the second rolling for me was very, very messy - the dough was incredibly sticky. I ended up having to soap my rolling pin to get it clean. :( So I won't be making this again although I really did like it.

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2011

Great recipe! I don't have a bread-maker so I make it like all other bread recipes, and it comes out melt-in-your-mouth, light and fluffy as air. Have made repeatedly and they're usually great. If you make a day ahead and chill through the 2nd rise, it's kind of hit or miss - sometimes they rise and sometimes they don't, and even when they do rise they're not as fluffy. The icing is very very good also!!!!

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2011

The people who gave this bad reviews must have messed up somehow in the making. These are excellent. I did double the recipe for a 9x13 pan, and it wasn't enough batter; next time I will triple it, using 4 eggs and bake for 30 min. I did not use the frosting for these - I can't judge a frosted brownie, and if the recipe has to have it, I won't make it cause it's not a good brownie. Using one egg less in the original recipe will make it more like a fudge brownie, and less like cake. You can also experiment with replacing some of the butter with oil, that should help also. You can also try adding some Hershey's Syrup and/or mini chocolate chips to make it more like a boxed mix. As for this not being a box recipe-no it's not. You know exactly what's in it and can pronounce it all. It IS an incredibly soft, perfectly sweet, 1/2 fudge-1/2 cake brownie that is the only brownie I will make again.

Cola Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2010

It was pretty good, everyone ate it and all said they liked it. Will probably make again. I just wasn't expecting it to be quite so much like BBQ sauce.

Pineapple Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2010

This came out excellent. My only complaint is that it needs more pineapple. I used the cup of pineapple and added extra juice, but it still needs more! I also only used 1/2 teaspoon of salt. The texture is just perfect, not dry, not mushy. Held up well when I cut it. Actually I was thinking: add a banana or two, a couple handfuls of coconut, and about 1/2 teaspoon of rum extract and this would make an awesome Pina Colada bread!!

Smoked Sausage-Potato Hash

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2010

This turned out pretty good, but I did do it a little different. I don't use a nonstick skillet (hate Teflon) so I had to use a little oil. I also used a pound of turkey sausage and a pound of jalapeno venison sausage, cabbage, corn, and no bell pepper or salt. Try adding a little Worcestershire sauce to the sausage. Yummy.

Crab Stuffed Flounder

Reviewed: May 4, 2010

This was great. I am the only person in my family that really likes fish, and tilapia is the only fish any one else will eat at all, so that's what I used. I added celery and onion, wanted to use Town House crackers but forgot to pick some up at the store. It was very good. My husband wanted thinner pieces of fish...and the 8 year old didn't like it at all. But the rest of us thought it was pretty good. The stuffing is good enough that I think I may have found a new crab cake recipe. I did add Old Bay per other suggestions. I'm not sure about the topping, it may just be a way to use that yolk; I didn't notice that it added any flavor, it may just be presentation.

Laura's Lemon Roasted Potatoes

Reviewed: May 4, 2010

Very, very good. I did have to adjust the amount of oil and butter and it was still too much, and I don't think I used enough lemon juice, but will definitely make again! I like dill and these were lightly toasted outside and light and fluffy inside. I also used tiny Yukon Gold, not peeled just washed and quartered, and they were perfect.

Bacon 'n' Egg Bundles

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2010

The bacon definitely needs to be cooked more, it seemed like it "uncooked" in the oven. Following someone else's review on here, I cooked it for 18 minutes, and the yolks were hard. Will make again and only cook 12 minutes and get the bacon completely done first. If the eggs seem bland add a little salt and pepper (or whatever you like on your eggs) when you put them in the pan... They are like poached, so season accordingly.

Chicken in Onion and Mustard Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009

Made this for supper the other night and already had the chicken cooking when I realized I didn't have any applesauce. I used peanut butter instead and hoped for the best. It still turned out pretty good but I can imagine it with the applesauce, mellow and sweet. I also added a small can of sliced mushrooms to it. I will make it again, with or without the applesauce!

Sugar Cream Pie I

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009

I'm a born and raised Texan, never heard of this pie, but I was looking for some different pie recipes and decided to give this a whirl. My kids now beg for it. I've made it twice, once with regular milk and once with heavy cream-I never have half-n-half. The richer the milk the better the pie, that's all I have to say. It was good with regular milk, but with the cream it was incredibly rich and creamy, and almost like a great chocolate mousse if it were vanilla instead of chocolate.
