Wild Rice Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2008
This is a fantastic dish. I made it for Thanksgiving in place of bread stuffing. I used vegetable broth in place of chicken broth, but everything else remained the same. Will definatly be making this more often and for a Thanksgiving new tradition.

Gingered Pork Chops in Orange Juice

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008
I can only bring myself to give this three stars. I had high hopes as the smell of this dish while in the oven was wonderfully overwhelming, but was a bit dissapointed that the flavor was lacking.

Apple Cake with Raisins

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008
I was hesitant in trying this recipe because of the amount of sugar and margarine called for, but still wanted to give it a try. I did change the recipe a little, used butter instead of margarine, omitted the walnuts for personal preferance, and baked in a bundt pan because I don't have a 10x15 pan. Stayed with the 2 cups of sugar even though I thought it was too much, but ended up not too sweet like I thought it would. It was a very moist cake, but the next time I make it will try grating the apples instead of chopping and using applesauce to replace some of the butter and spicing it up a bit more with cloves and nutmeg. Definatly a cake worth making again.

Cinderella Pumpkin Bowl with Vegetables and Sausage

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008
I was very excited to try this recipe and was not dissappointed. I did make a couple changes, used baby bear pumpkins for single serve portions, did not use all suggested veggies, and forgot to put in the seasonings, and it turned out very yummy. I will definatly make this again before the pumpkins are gone for the season and will try different veggies and italian sausage instead of the kiebasa. this will be a halloween tradition from now on as it is very filling, perfect before heading out to trick-or-treat.thank you for a fabulous recipe.

No-Mayonnaise Ranch Dressing

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008
my daughter made this for the first time. very good dressing, even though she used too much buttermilk, was able to save with adding more sour cream.

Cauliflower Cashew Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008
very good salad for a change from the typical tossed salad. the only change i made was using homemade ranch instead of bottled dressing. will definatly be making this often. perfect for a potluck or buffet style gathering to share with friends and family.

Fish In A Vegetable Patch

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2008
this is a very tasty dish. i made it with cod instead of halibut because of the cost, and used fresh tomatoes pureed instead of canned sauce as another reviewer suggested. made it into fish tacos with cabbage and spanish rice. very yummy, will definatly make this again.

Iced Mochas

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2008
i have been making my own coffee drinks for years and never thought of freezing the coffee into ice cubes. i use vanilla creamer, milk, chocolate and caramel syrups so it is sweet enough without the sugar. thanks for the great tip of freezing the coffee.

Roasted Lemon Herb Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2008
this is very good chicken, but would like more flavor in the meat instead of on the skin. next time i will try to mix lemon juice and olive oil with the seasoning and inject into meat before baking.

Crab Rangoon III

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2008
i love the ones from the chinese resturant, so decided to try it. my husband ended up making them, but they turned out very grainy. not sure if it was the store brand cream cheese, the canned crab, or the way they were mixed, but probably won't be making again.

Honeyed Pork Chops

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2008
i was looking for a different way to make pork chops and decided on this one, was very pleased with it. the pork chops were very tender and moist with a great flavor. the only change that i made was to use balsamic vinegar in place of the soy sauce because i was out of the soy sauce.

Edible Play Dough

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2008
i thought i would try this recipe as it has no refined sugar, but i was very dissapointed in the results. the kids could not play with it because it was to oily to roll out, so i added powdered sugar to it which only made it very sticky and tacky from the honey i am guessing. i did not follow the other review about using flour because i thought it would make it taste to bad for the kids to enjoy eating it after playing with it. i will try some other recipes that i have found.--update-- i covered dough in powdered sugar and wrapped in wax paper, let it sit for a few days. was okay to work with but still very oily.

Seven Layer Magic Bars

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2008
i have been making these for over 20 years and are always a hit for what ever occasion they are made for. recently i made them for a picnic and used mini M&M's in place of the nuts because of nut allergies. these are so versitile as you can change the chip flavors or the type of nut to fit the occasion. i make a variation using just the chocolate chips,pecans and coconut for a german chocoalte flare. the only thing i do different than the recipe states is using a small cookie sheet instead of a 9x13 pan because i like them to be a litte thinner and crisper instead of thick and gooey, but it is just a matter of taste. no matter what ingredients or size of pan you use, they will always be a hit and never any leftover.

Nutritious Lentil Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2008
i made this for a pinic which had a very broad spectrum of goers, and had none of the salad left to bring home so it was definatly a hit. i did add a bit of sea salt and some red wine vinegar because it was a bit bland tasting. will be making this again, possibly with the addition of cucumber and feta cheese to help kick up the flavor.
