Drop Biscuits and Gravy

Reviewed: May 13, 2009
I gave this 5 stars because I am not a big fan of Drop Biscuits, but these were excellent. Maybe it was the combination of the Gravy and the Recipe that made everything work to perfection. I made one change with the sausage. I cut the required amount in half and used bacon for the other half. My kids wolfed it down and were beggin for more.

Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs

Reviewed: May 9, 2009
This was an excellent recipe! I would have given it 5 stars except I made the alterations suggested by others, mainly substituting my favorite barbecue sauce instead of ketchup. I also added some crushed garlic to the pot that isn't called for in the recipe. Lastly, I also made my own Chili sauce rather than using canned sauce, and it made a big difference. Great recipe, it should be made often!

Spicy Sausage and Rice Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009
Needs more liquid for the rice, and more sausage. Also, try to put the rice on the bottom as opposed to scattered throughout. We had some rice that was on top that didn't get enough liquid and was quite crunchy! Great flavor though.

Happy Shrimp

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009
Made a couple of changes to this recipe by adding some mushrooms and heavy cream to the sauce. My family thought that it didn't have a lot of flavor and didn't really care for it. I thought it was pretty good, but needed some additional spices after it got to the plate to help give it some more flavor.

Penne with Pancetta and Mushrooms

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2009
Made this for my family last night and it was met with ho hum's. They complained that the sauce wasn't flavorful enough and that there wasn't enough of it. I substituted regular bacon for the Pancetta and Angel Hair for the Penne. I also doubled the amount of liquid that the recipe called for and it still wasn't enough. If I were to make this again, I would probably add some white wine, butter and some salt to the sauce to give it a bit more pep.

Pork Chops a la Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2009
This was a good recipe. I followed the recipe as outlined only I used boneless pork loin instead of what the recipe called for. The flavor and aroma were wonderful. I cooked it for 8 hours, but amazingly my meat came out a little dry. My family loved it except for the dryness of the meat. I made the gravy as others have suggested and it was great. Will try again, only will try and use meat that has a bone to try and prevent the meat from being dry.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2009
Made this recipe exactly as outlined and the entire family was licking their plates clean! The only suggestion would be as others have said, pre-cook the bacon and crumble it on top, rather than wrapping it. I enjoyed it wrapped, but a couple of the family said they would have preferred it the other way. Great recipe!

Slow Cooker Pork Chops II

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2009
My family enjoyed this very much. Like some of the reviewers I cooked 1 inch chops for approx. 8 hours. I was surprised that mine came out somewhat dry. I added a 1/4 cup of white wine to the liquid as others suggested, and I would recommend doing that. Not sure what to do to prevent the meat from being dry? Good recipe, will make it again.

Lime Chicken Soft Tacos

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2009
Very pleased with how this turned out. I did make some of the modifications listed by others (Cilantro & Cumin rather than Oregano) plus I added a half a pepper and 1/2 TBS of Crushed Red Pepper. It had a great aroma and the chicken was very juicy. Tried both Hard Shell Corn Tortillas & Soft White Flour Tortillas and preferred the Hard Shell.

Fantastic easy marinade for fajita's. Made it late one night and didn't even marinate for the required 2 hours and it turned out great. Highly recommend as is.

Chicken with Garlic, Basil, and Parsley

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2007
Excellent recipie, especially considering how easy it is to make. I followed some of the other suggestions and added Basil/Tomato Feta Cheese and Basalmic Vinegar to it and it was wonderful. I used minced garlic instead of the garlic slices also. My family thought the pepper was a bit much, so next time I will cook it without the crushed pepper, but it was excellent.

Kickin' London Broil with Bleu Cheese Butter

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2007
I have never had anything like this before. I have always been a, "gimmie my steak plain" kinda guy. I loved this. The flavors were excellent and made the steak "sizzle". Highly recommend.

Adobo Sirloin

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2007
This recipe produces a great flavor, but we felt it would be better served with something like fajitas rather than as a stand alone dish. The flavor was good, but not right for plain steak, and my family that didn't like hot things didn't care for it plain either. I do think it would be excellent as a spice for your fajita mix though.

Bermuda Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2007
The salad itself needed more fixin's to go with the amount of spinach that was in the recipe. Also I think we used too much onion as the onion flavor was very strong. Will try it again and either reduce the amount of spinach or increase the amount of fixin's inside.

Pork Chop and Feta Skillet

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2007
Loved the recipe! My family of picky eaters all liked the flavor and the pork chops disappeared for once. Stuffed the chops with some of the cheese and it added an extra layer of wow to our thick chops. We will use it again.

French Toast II

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2007
If you aren't a nutmeg fan, this Recipe isn't for you. I wanted to try something different than our usual Recipe when I tried this recipe. By the time my family was done, they were asking me not to make it again. The nutmeg flavor was strong and but I liked the brown sugar addition. My biggest complaint was that it made the bread really soggy. I even tried turning up/down the heat but I couldn't dry the pieces out.

Basil Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2007
This is a fantastic recipe. I made it for my picky family and they loved it!! I added the cubed chicken (coated with flour) and mushrooms that were suggested by another poster and it really added to the meal. Wonderful!!
