The only reason I didn't give this one a 5 is because it turned out a little on the soupy side. The overall taste was amazing. I did add a little more cinnamon than called for and about a tsp or so of all spice. We topped it with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream and it was really tasty.

Spinach Cheese Manicotti

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2009

I followed the directions but I used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. The filling seemed really dry for some reason. The flavor overall was okay but not the best I have ever had. It seemed a little on the bland side.

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2009

I have been a little timid to make any type of zucchini bread because my husband always talks about his mother's. Well, I finally gave this recipe a shot and it is a new favorite. My 2 year old son is gobbling it up too. I didn't make any changes to the recipe but I may try a touch of nutmeg or allspice next time.

Baked Spaghetti

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009

Pretty good basic baked spaghetti recipe. People that thought it wasn't that great have to remember, people's tastes are different. Be creative and adjust things the way you like them. For instance, I added green pepper, a couple cloves of pressed garlic, some course ground black pepper, sea salt (instead of the seasoned salt), and the basic Italian seasoning while cooking the hambuer. For the cheeses, I used a mozzarella and provalone blend and shredded parmesan asiago blend. My husband and 2 year old loved it!

Sausage Sauerkraut Supper

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2008

This was pretty decent. I liked it and I made it hoping that my husband would enjoy it but (as with anything) he didn't like it. Oh well. It's good for me at least.

Grandma's Sloppy Joes

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2008

It was okay. I have never made Sloppy Joes from scratch before but these ended up way too sweet for our taste. I am going to have to tinker with the recipe next time I try and make them.

Easy Lasagna I

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2008

This was a pretty good basic recipe. I used 2 packages of ground sweet Italian sausage and omitted the mushrooms. I also used 2 jars of pasta sauce. While cooking the meat, I used chopped garlic and onion with some different spices. There wasn't enough kick to it so next time I will probably use one package of the hot Italian sausage and one package of the sweet. I will probably use two pints of ricotta next time instead of using the cottage cheese (It made the dish way to runny).

Cold Day Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2008

I have tried and tried for 4 years to find a chili recipe that my husband wouldn't complain about. I finally found it. I made a few minor adjustments to it. I doubled the recipe and used 2 cans of Kidney beans and 2 cans of Pinto (that's the way my hubby likes it. I also used chili pre-seasoned diced tomatoes and added 3 cloves of garlic (pressed)while cooking the meat. Everything else stayed the same. It had the full chili flavor that my husband likes and a little sweet taste that I like. Good recipe!

Tzatziki

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2007

I first had tzatziki when I was in Crete. I haven't had it in a few years and decided to try this recipe out. Well, it's not exactly the same as what I had in Crete but close to it. I couldn't figure out what it was missing. It was still really good though.
