Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2011

My family loved this. I used chicken thighs because my husband hates white meat. I also used real butter and added some Pasta Sprinkle from Penzey's Spices in with the Italian Dressing mix. The thighs cooked for 6 hours and then I cooked the cream cheese and soup in (with a can of mushrooms) while I made the egg noodles to serve it with. Great reviews at the table!

Comforting Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2010

My family loved, loved this. I followed another reviewer's suggestions and made it stove top, cooking the rice in my rice cooker and then combining everything together into one pan of creamy goodness. I used 2 lbs of chicken thighs, b/c it's what I had on hand, and no green pepper b/c we're not huge fans. A generous helping of good quality paprika and chili pepper were perfect. This goes into the, "cold winter night" rotation!

Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2010

This was excellent with some modifications. I used peanut oil instead of canola. I began with green onions and fresh garlic from the farmer's market, letting those brown a bit before I added the green beans. By the time the beans were done, the onions and garlic were nice and carmelized. The cooking method here worked beautifully. Thanks for a terrific jumping off point!

Double Layer Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

My family raved over this one. I made it gluten free for us by using GF crumbs for the crust and then followed the directions exactly. Wonderful pie. We loved this!

Best Chicken Ever

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2008

Awesome! My kids devoured this. I marinated the chicken breasts in sour cream mixed with onion soup mix (gluten free ... my son is celiac) for about an hour and a half. I then crushed GF corn flakes in my food processor and tossed them with garlic powder before coating the (very thick) breasts. I baked at 350 for 40 minutes and they were perfect. This will stay in our rotation!

Valentine Meatballs

Reviewed: May 1, 2008

We really loved these. I gave them four stars because I made changes: used one pound ground turkey and one pound ground chicken, used mozzarella b/c I didn't have Swiss, mixed everything together at once, and threw in a handful of Penzey's Spices pasta sprinkle. I made 12 round meatballs and then served them over mashed potatoes with a bechamel mushroom sauce. Everyone, including kids, loved them.

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008

Awesome! I used ground turkey and doubled the recipe, using BBQ sauce for the doubled amount of ketchup. Huge hit with the kids.

Honey Curried Roasted Chicken and Vegetables

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008

I doubled the sauce and put half the sauce over a 7 lb chicken in a slow cooker all day and the other half over cut up potatoes, carrots, portobello mushrooms and onions in the refrigerator to marinate all day. I cooked the veggies at 400 for an hour, roasted some asparagus in the last 12 minutes of that and we had a great meal. The chicken was falling off the bone after 8 hours in the slow cooker. Oh, I only used 2 T butter in the doubled sauce recipe. Yum.

Marinated Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008

I'm going to do what I don't like to see other people do and tell you all the changes I made while giving this recipe 4 stars! I replaced the ketchup with chili garlic sauce, replaced the lemon juice with lime juice, and replaced all of the oil with just 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a doubled sauce recipe. I also added 2 Tbsp of rice wine vinegar, again for a doubled recipe. I broiled the pork chops, six minutes per side and reduced the marinade to serve as a sauce. Everyone, kids included, loved this. The basic dish was a great jumping off place for us!

Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2007

I've made this many times now for parties and it's always a huge hit. I seem to always be sending people back here to get the recipe. Sometimes I cover the ball in chips and sometimes in pecans, both with great results. We love this with Nilla Wafers and graham cracker sticks!

Awesome Korean Steak

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2007

Having lived in Korea for two years and fallen in love with the food, I can tell you that this recipe is truly "awesome!" My husband wanted to drink the broth when we were finished picking the meat out! My changes were minor: I used one whole yellow onion instead of the shallots and threw in sliced garlic cloves to make the dish more like I remember it. Both my 6 year old and 3 year old gobbled this up and are already asking me to make it again. Huge hit!!

Awesome Broccoli Marinara

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2006

We loved this! My daughter (5) and I both thought it tasted like spaghetti. I will admit it took almost the whole meal to coax her into trying it, but once she did, she devoured it. My 2 year old had no interest (surprise). This is a great way to pack more veggies into supper and is into our rotation!

Slow Cooker Pork Cacciatore

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2006

We all loved this. I used chicken (leg quarters with bones and thighs without) and the meat fell off the bone when I took it out. So I ended up stirring it all together into a kind of sauce and putting the whole thing over pasta. My kids (5 and 2) devoured it. And it did make a ton! I have two batches in the freezer for other nights. Yay!

Slow Cooked Pork Barbeque

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2006

This was a great slow cooker solution for supper! How easy does it get? I used pork tenderloin and it about fell apart when I took it out. We ate it with some BBQ sauce from the slow cooker poured over it. Yummy. My husband, my 5 year old and I really liked it. My two year old had no interest.

Wild Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2006

This was fine for a weeknight meal, though it took a long time to cook. I used broccoli, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, onions and fresh garlic. I also cooked it at 375 and it still took over an hour, even stirring every 20 minutes. I used chicken broth (all I had on hand). The rice was still a little chewy while the veggies were pretty mushy. I actually really liked it, but my husband wasn't wild and my kids wouldn't eat it past the one required bite.

Blueberry Gelatin Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2006

I made this using black cherry Jell-O and without the cream cheese topping because my son is allergic. My kids LOVED the fruit and Jell-O mix just by itself. Big hit. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Zesty Three Bean Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2006

My husband adored this. I, too, thought it was very good. The kids (2 and 5) wouldn't touch it, but I'll keep trying!

Honey-Lime Fruit Toss

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2006

I replaced the strawberries with grapes because my son is allergic. Everyone really liked this, even my husband who generally refuses to eat fruit with supper (it's "dessert" to him). I eyeballed the honey and will probably add a bit more next time and may try substituting OJ for the lime juice. But good as is and will make again!

Balsamic Glazed Carrots

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2006

I'd like to give this 4 1/2 stars. My husband usually won't eat carrots, but he really liked these, even going back for seconds! My five year old, though, generally loves carrots and really did not like these. I think that next time I'll replace the vinegar with OJ for her and see if it goes over better. We will definitely be eating these again!

Roasted Potato Medley

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2006

This was a fine side dish for a weeknight meal. My two year old wouldn't touch it and my five year old choked down the required "must try" bite, but my husband and I liked it well enough.
