Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2009

MMMMMMM.. that's it! This recipe is definitely a keeper. As others have suggested, do double the gravy (maybe even triple)!.

I agree with a few of the earlier reviewers, it was just ok. It does seem a bit bland and needs something extra to kick it up a notch. I would recommend seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper before cooking. The chicken lacked any flavor. Next time to save time & to create less pots to clean, I’m just going to use jarred alfredo sauce and maybe add in a few extras like sun-dried tomatoes or artichokes.

Fried Chicken with Creamy Gravy

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2009

I followed the recipe exactly and this was very, very bland; especially the gravy. This dish still has potential to be great, I think next time I’ll follow some of the suggestions given about alterations that were done to give this a 5-star rating, but as is it’s only a 3.

Red Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2009

If you leave out the sugar these mashed potatoes will definitely become the best you’ve ever had. Next time I’ll add more butter & half-and-half to make them a little (more) creamier.

Candied Carrots

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2009

I substituted baby carrots instead and it came out great. I will definitely make this again, it was the perfect side dish to our holiday meal this past Christmas.

Salsa Chicken Burrito Filling

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2009

Fantastically quick recipe for a nicely filling meal, it was a big hit with my fiancé. I added Spanish rice to the filling and it was excellent. The next time I prepare this I’ll try to make enchiladas.

Creamy Pesto Shrimp

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2008

This was great recipe & I will make it again with a few adjustments to help cut down the fat & calories but as is, this a great dish to have on a cold night; fills you right up. to quote jj_howell27 "I think next time I would serve as a side dish with steak or something because it is so rich. This is a special dinner meal, not an every night meal unless you crave bigger pants!"

Stuffed Tomato Basil Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2008

I have to agree with another user about this recipe. It had everything I liked, it was simple and quick to make but the end result of the dish was just blah. It lacked serious flavor and was a major disappointment at the dinner table.

Italian Breaded Pork Chops

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2008

Terrific recipe! Quick & super easy, all the ingredients needed I already had at home so I didn't need to make a stop to the store to make it! I made this last night and it was a hit with my fiancé. I added some Italian seasoning to the chops while they were in the pan frying. I think next time I will double coat them as others have suggested. I’ll be making this again very soon…

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2008

This was good but not fantastic, my fiancé loved it and wants this in our regular dinner rotation. I will admit that this has been one of the juicest meatloaves I've had in a while.

Chicken Tequila Fettuccini

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2008

Love this recipe!! A new family fave for sure. I forgot to add the whipping cream but this dish still came out delish! Next time I think I'll grill the chicken instead.

Gnocchi with Sage-Butter Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2008

Quick & Easy, what's not to love? I cut the recipe down and used 1 (16.8 oz) package of gnocchi. I also cooked some chicken tenders in the sauce and this became an instant hit at home.

Chili con Carne III

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

Excellent base chili recipe; if you follow it word for word, I could see how some would say this dish was bland, but with a little creativity you’ve got a winner. I added green & red bell peppers, corn salsa, diced tomatoes with green chilies, poblano pepper and some Tabasco sauce. Next time I do make this I’m going to omit the whole tomatoes and just double up on diced tomatoes, maybe pop in some jalapenos too (to make it have a little more kick).

Braised Balsamic Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2008

omg this turned out excellent! I followed the suggestions of another poster & used brown sugar to tone done the bitterness of the vinegar; I also added sun dried tomatoes instead of diced-canned tomatoes along with artichoke hearts & 2 cubes of chicken bouillon. Very yummy! I ony wish I topped pasta with the sauce, I will have to keep this in mind for the next time I make it!

Chicken Fried Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2008

Fabulous! I added a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dry seasoning mix to the crackers, flour & potato flake mix & skipped the salt and pepper. This turned out so yummy, my boyfriend loved it and I will be making this again for sure. I can't wait to experiment with this next time.
