Great! The only change I made was to not put the carrots, cabbage and potatoes in the pot. I was afraid they would cook too much and be mushy. So, I just cooked them in a pot on the side with some of the broth from the crockpot. Also, I also had to use extra water (5 cups) to cover the meet. Got rave reviews!!!

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2009

WOWZ-A! SOO good! I sifted thru all the reviews to see the changes ppl made. But ultimately I followed the recipe exactly (including cooking temp, amount of sugar, type of apple, etc) except to add 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the sugar mixture and it was AWESOME! I didn't have any trouble with the crust cooking right, just put the pie on the bottom rack and the bottom crust will cook without the top crust over-browning. Yum- best apple pie ever.

Saucy Chops II

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2009

Delish! AND made with on-hand ingredients. It doesn't claim to be fancy, just simple ingredients for a simple down-home cookin' taste. I doubled the worcestershire sauce, and it turned out perfect!

Strawberry Tiramisu for Two

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2009

Wee didn't enjoy this at all! There was way too much of the cream spread, i only used about half of it. And the strawberry puree was not sweet enough, so it was blah. Just overall kinda soso. Sorry, but I won't be making this again.

Southern Peach Cobbler

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2009

Fantastic! I used peaches that were no where near ripe, but they cooked and were just as juicy and soft as they were supposed to be. The topping was delish! It was a little more crust- like, and a little less cake-like, which is exactly what I wanted. I think the sugar/cinnamon sprinkled on the top made all the difference. Mmmmm, I'm gonna go get another piece!

Spaghetti Italian

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2009

This was a good recipe! Easy and quick. It wouldn't feed six adults, though, not by a long shot! My only complaint was that it was a bit thick, might add a half cup or so of water to thin it out a bit. Cooked it for about an hour and a half, gr8 flavor!

Sopapilla Cheesecake Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2009

Kinda too sweet. I decreased the amount of sugar in the topping after reading other reviews, but next time I'll also decrease the amount of sugar in the cream cheese mixture to maybe 3/4 of a cup.

Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2009

I followed the recipe exactly, except to toss a handful of diced strawberries into the salsa, and it was delicious! The only thing I would change next time would be to decrease the amount of jalapeno, it was a trifle spicy for me, though my husband thought it was perfect!

Egg and Sausage Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2009

The only changes I made were to add 1/2 finely diced onions to the sausage, and a half cup of milk to the egg mixture (it would have been dry without it). Oh- and I halved the amount of cheese called for because of reading other reviews. It was good, but next time I'll only use 1/2 lb of sausage, it was a little too meaty. Or- use more eggs if I need to feed a lot of ppl. I might also add spinach or bell pepper to make it taste healthier. ;)

Veggie Pizza

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009

Took it to a party, and ppl gobbled it up! The crust needs to bake a little longer than called for. Maybe 12-13 mins, at ten mins it was still doughy and 15 made to crust crunchier and fall apart. Needs to go till its just barely a hint of gold... Also, next time I'll use mayb 3/4 of the ranch packet.

Blueberry Buckle

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2009

This was good! It's really more of a coffee-cake than a dessert. Next time I'll prob double the amount of blueberries. I also added a tsp of vanilla and substituted butter for the shortening.

Toffee Bar Brownies

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2009

Wow- super sweet! We all liked them, but agree that they are almost too sweet. Next time I will use half the amount of cool whip and candy bars, which will help. Tip- make several hours ahead of time to give this a chance to cool in the fridge, much better that way.

Creamy Rice Pudding

Reviewed: May 25, 2009

Good. I've never made rice pudding before, and this was so easy. I didn't have medium grain rice, so I used long grain. It was good and creamy.

Bread Pudding I

Reviewed: May 9, 2009

Great! I used really dry french bread, so I let it soak a little longer than called for. other than that, followed the recipe exactly. I didn't bother with the water bath (too lazy ;-)) but the consistency was perfect. Some bread puddings are too runny and mushy, but this one with custardy and delish!
