Enchiladas

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2011

Very disappointed. I have made other recipes that are far better on this site. The yogurt adds an off flavor.

Knock your socks of yummy! I made this into a layered cake with a layer of the chocolate ganache in the center, you could also use a white chocolate pudding mix for that. This really had an almost angel food cake like quality. When we cut into it you could here the air in it. Very light and airy. I used my own favorite fluffy frosting recipe and added the melted white chocolate to the shortening before I creamed it. Super easy and not all that time consuming BUT with seriously fantastic results!

Chocolate Cluster-Peanut Butter Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2010

So yummy! Have you tried other PB filling recipes and find that they really don't have that peanut buttery flavor you were looking for? The idea here, to mix the peanutbutter with a pudding mix (and milk of course) is genius. The PB gives the pudding a stiffer texture that holds it's place between the layers better than pudding alone. NOW I used all of my PB/pudding mix in my layers and made my own "Fluffy Frosting" using PB as part of my shortening. But the frosting concept here looks great in theory as well!

Slow Cooker Creamed Corn

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009

This is good as is, BUT I prefer to replace half of the cream cheese with the american cheese. Even if you like this recipe already, try this. It is a nice blend of flavors.

Yellow Squash Patties

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2009

I give this 5 stars, but bear in mind that yellow squash is yellow squash and this isn't a miracle cure, but a very good use of this over abundant ingredient none-the-less. I think the best approach is to mix the squash, onion, s+p and let everything sweat for at least 1/2 hour and then drain. You can get more water out using a cloth and pressing out as much as possible. Squash is such a large part water that you really need to take this step or your patties won't really get crispy and cooked all the way through. By the way I had banana peppers in my garden as well. I minced a couple and tossed them in the mix. Topped with hot sauce it packed a little heat, but wasn't overwhelming. I actually forgot to add the cheese the first time and liked those as well.

Whimpies

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2009

I'm not sure, but I think you have to be from pennsylvania to know what a Whimpie is!! Not unlike a Sloppy Joe a whimpie has a bit more veggies and a nice homemade sauce. I had to deviate a bit when I discovered a lack of ketchup, but not to worry, tomato paste, a little more brown sugar and seasonings and I was all set.

French Bread Rolls to Die For

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2009

Bakery style rolls straight out of the oven! AND they are perfect every time! I made these for college students and they couldn't believe these weren't from the bakery. Definitely make the recipe "as is" first before tweaking this to your taste. I think some of the other reviewers may have a specific taste they are trying to achieve. This recipe is truly top notch as it stands. I like a variety of textures and flavors, so I may adjust this on occasion. Spraying the oven with water is an excellent way to put a nice crust on. But this roll can stand by itself without extra fuss. This recipe may be one of my best all time finds on this site!

Steakhouse Wheat Bread for the Bread Machine

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2009

Excellent! No adjustments. I really don't get the negative ratings. Doing this as mini loaves as another reviewer mentioned is a fun presentation. Make some honeybutter and you have a steakhouse hit!

French Dip Sandwiches

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2008

This recipe is excellent, I have made this a few times, I honestly think it was best when I made it with a nice lean venison roast. The beef is nice too, remember your cut and quality of meat will effect your results. But all will be good it is simply a matter of good, better, best!

Chicken Dijon

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2008

As is the recipe is a bit bland, I seasoned my chicken with salt, pepper and thyme before cooking, I added an additional tablespoon of the mustard and used heavy cream. The result was a nice dish everyone liked and the sauce was not overwhelming at all, really a nice compliment to the chicken. I will make this again with these changes.

Cinnamon Popcorn II

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008

I had great results with this recipe. Paperbag method and all. I did need to use microwave popcorn, but simply microwaved the popcorn and did the sauce part on the stove top.I popped 3 bags of light popcorn to one 7 oz bag of red hots, and kept the remaining ingredients as is. You do need to shake the contents of your bag for a solid minute, but it works out fine.

Applesauce Drop Doughnuts

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

Great time saving recipe! I wanted to make doughnuts for my family, but didn't want the work of a traditional doughnut. I found this recipe and was not disappointed. I used my cookie scoop to drop the doughnuts into my deep fryer, giving me nicely shaped doughnut holes everytime. This recipe makes lots. Our family of 5 has leftovers to look forward to later.

Chocolate Mousse Cake IV

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008

Excellent recipe and really fairly simple. I love that it used a boxed mix, sure one can develop cake making into an art, but a mix is so much simpler. The mousse was simple and fantastic. I made this for a church dinner and got rave reviews and my kids and husband are begging for their chance to eat the whole cake and not share!

Caramel Apple Jam

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2008

This recipe tastes great, but I have issues. Understand you are making applesauce into a "jam". So process your apples in your favorite way and then follow this recipe. There are certainly more time and product efficient ways to process apples than dicing them. This has similar flavor to the "All Day Apple Butter" on this site without the all day cooking. Because you are using pectin you are actually gelling the liquid instead of cooking it out,so,I suppose one could call it a jam in stead of apple butter. But- apples have pectin naturally adding pectin just makes it gell faster. I tried this recipe because it sounded interesting, but I doubt I will make it again.

Rhubarb Jam

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2008

Excellent! Be sure to use fresh orange juice if you can, it makes a world of difference. My test batch went quickly, so I can't wait until next rhubarb season.
