Scrambled Eggs Done Right

Reviewed: May 20, 2010

This is the way scrambled eggs should be! I increased the recipe for 8 servings and used Miracle Whip. I did add the water and the s & p before cooking. I know it says not to, but I personally like salting during cooking and think it tastes better that way. Awesome recipe! Fluffy, perfectly cooked scrambled eggs. All of my 5 children (including my most picky 4 yr old) LOVED them and wanted more!

Healthy Fruit & Oat Breakfast Cookies

Reviewed: May 13, 2010

These were surprisingly good. They're what I would consider a breakfast cookie and naturally ...and lightly, sweet. Like others, I replaced the oil w/ unsweetened applesauce, used about 1/3 rainins/craisins in place of dates as well as adding 1 sm apple chopped. In addition, I added about 1/4 cup chocolate chips. I wasn't sure they would hold their shape, but w/ a bit of pressing together, they did. Baked at 325F for 15 min. They were soft, chewy...and my chldren LOVED them. Yay! a healthy cookie that they'll eat! They're moist, so I wouldn't let them sit in a container for more than a few days or I suspect they'll mold. However, mine didn't last more than 24 hrs. ;) Will definitley make mulitiple times over. :)

Caramel Popcorn

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2009

This stuff is AWESOME! My first time making caramel and it was easy. :) However, "drizzling it slowly" wasn't. It was somewhat difficult to mix in the big bowl while pouring the caramel at the same time. Would have been easier w/ a helper. Next time I think I'll lay the popcorn out on cookie sheets and try it that way first. I followed the recipe exactly...only cooked it for 45 min though. I was clumsy and dropped one of the pans on the floor...so I didn't have as much as I wanted. I'll be making more this weekend. ;) Would be excellent in cute little cellophane bags tied w/ a ribbon as gifts. :)

You've got to try this Spinach Pie!

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009

I love this spinach pie recipe. It's really one of the only ways I eat spinach. My MIL just tried it subbing 1/2 lb cooked chopped bacon for the sausage and she said it was even better! I can't even imagine! It's on my to do list now. ;)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

These were really good! I needed something quick and not too involved to bring to a family function..and this was perfect! I left out the nuts due to allergies and added 1/2 cup of toffee chips. I also cut the recipe in 1/2 and used one 9 x 13" pyrex dish to bake. It took a total of 23 min to bake. They were soft, chewy, and very sweet, but so good! I'l be making these again for sure!

No Roll Pie Crust II

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009

I think for a fast pie crust w/o the worry of rolling, it's really good. I was concerned it would be too oily, but it turned out quite nice. Had a nice flavor and was flaky. I did add 1/2 tsp of butter flavor to it, but otherwise followed it exactly. I used this for apple pie since I failed miserably rolling out a traditional crust! I'll use this one again :)

Barbeque Pork Two Ways

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009

This was very moist and flavorful. I had a 7 1/2 lb pork shoulder picnic (bone in) that I used. I put the whole thing in the slow cooker. I wouldn't recommend this specific cut of meat as it was quite time consuming shredding it and yeilds a lot less meat than I thought it would. That said, it worked in a pinch and the taste was great! I had to add a about a cup of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce cause I didn't have quite enough ketchup for the amount of pork I had. It's very good and flavorful once you add the sauce back to the shredded pork. I still have alot of sauce left over. :)

Garden Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

I had trouble w/ the carrots cooking in the amount of time the recipe called for. It took at least 40 min for them to be tender, and I chopped them fairly small. I would recommend dicing them instead. I would also recommend not adding the flour to the veggies first. Next time I make this, I'll add the stock (I used stock in place of boullion & water) to the veggies and simmer till tender. Then, stir the flour into the milk and add that to the soup along w/ the cheese. This will allow more time if needed for the veggies to cook w/o affecting the texture, as I noticed the soup was slightly grainy from having to cook it too long. Otherwise, the taste was lovely and my children went back for seconds. :) ETA: I also thought 2/3 cup of flour was alot. It could probably be cut back to 1/3 cup w/ success. :)

Graham Cracker Crust

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009

Excellent, simple, basic graham cracker crust. I used this for the Toll House Pie I recipe here and it was perfect. I didn't prebake as my pie had to bake anyway. So I just popped it in the fridge for 30 min before filling. OH! Fabulous!

Toll House Pie I

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009

So I've made this twice. The first time there was just way too much butter. Hubby and I use to get toll house pie at a restaurant we would go to frequently when we were dating & first married. I wanted something less gooey. The taste was there... but the texture was off from all that butter. Also, the pie we're use to had a graham cracker crust. So the next time I made it I cut the butter down to 1/2 cup and didn't melt it. I softened it (It was very soft..some of it melted). I made Graham Cracker Crust from this site first and pressed that in my pie plate and let it sit in the fridge for 30 min before I filled it. Baked for about 55 min (last 10 cover w/ foil) and it was perfect! Still nice & moist. With these modifications, it's a 5 star recipe..but as is, 4 stars.

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009

I so wish I could have given this 4 1/2 stars! I really think it deserves more than 4, but I just couldn't give it 5. See, the thing is, I love salt. But even for me this was a bit too salty. I would cut back on the salt definitely. Also, I prefer more ricotta in my lasagna. Otherwise, super tasty and will certainly make again w/ those modifications. :-)

Chip Chicken Lollipops

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009

This was ok, but I was expecting better considering the rating. I even dipped it in italian dressing before coating it and although it helped add flavor, the chicken wasn't crispy which turned us off a bit. If I'm going to eat something that obviously not healthy, I want it to be worth my while. ;) sorry!

Crispy Fried Chicken

Reviewed: May 18, 2009

This was pretty good, definitly crispy! I still think the recipe could use some tweaking as it was a bit bland. I fried my drumsticks in my deep fryer @ 375 degrees for about 14 min and they were done perfectly. :)

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

Reviewed: May 13, 2009

Wow! This is some tasty crust! It was nice and chewy, not tough at all. I doubled the recipe for my large family and used rapid rise yeast. I added about 2 tsp italian seasoning and 1 tsp garlic powder to the oil before adding it to the dough. The smell was fabulous and just what we were looking for in a homemade pizza dough. Hubby usually leaves the crust behind, but he ate every bit this time and said he could eat more...if there were any left. ;)

Easy Pizza Sauce III

Reviewed: May 13, 2009

Awsome sauce! It's thick enough to stand up to your toppings and has really nice flavor. I added 1 tsp of sugar and was out of paprika so I didn't add that. (I couldn't believe I was out!!) Super quick..took like 2 min and I have plenty to freeze for at least 2 more pizzas..maybe more. :) I"ll be making this from now on.

Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: May 10, 2009

These were very good! I've never had a turkey burger I liked, but I'm sold on these. Even my VERY picky 3 yr old ate it! It was so nice to sit at the dinner table w/ my 5 children and hubby and not hear one complaint! That's worth more than 5 stars in my book! I only had 1/2 the turkey, and I actually forgot about this while I was making them and ended up adding the same amount of ingredients to it. oops! I also ran out of bread crumbs (grrr!) so I seasoned some panko crumbs and used those instead. Then I coated the outside of the formed burgers in the seasoned panko crumbs. Delicious!! A keeper for sure. My hubby said he enjoyed these just as much, if not more, than regular burgers! Oh yeah...I took the advice of others and added a few dashes of low sodium soy sauce and worcestershire sauce. :)

Pistachio Fruit Salad

Reviewed: May 9, 2009

mmmm! just like I remember. :) I didn't have sugar free pistachio pudding, so I used regular and it worked out fine. I also like marshmallows & coconut in mine, but didn't add them because hubby prefers it w/o. ;)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough + Cupcake = The BEST Cupcake. Ever.

Reviewed: May 3, 2009

OH MY!! A sweet little treasure inside these cupcakes makes me smile! I love cookies. I mean really, they're possibly the best thing ever..and to combine them w/ a cupcake. True genius! Way to go LTH! I got 25 cookie dough balls and only made 23 cuppies. I was a bit more generous w/ my batter. ;) A keeper for sure. Want to impress the school kids or your family? These are the ones!
