This might be more of an acquired taste. My hubby liked it but I didn't and the kids just thought it was just another pork roast. 4 hours on low was more than enough time in the slow cooker. May want to check the temp after 3 hours or so to keep from getting a dry roast.

Mini Meatloaves

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009

These were good. I liked the size of the meatloaves but there was a lot of grease on the bottom of the pan. (Line with foil paper for easier cleanup.) My hubby doesn't like the sauce so I only put it on half. To me they were a little bland without the sauce but I really liked it with the sauce.

Apple Butter Pork Loin

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2009

My 2.5 lb tenderloin came out dry and much of the sauce that dripped off to the side was burned. My hubby said it was yummy (quite the feate)! Be sure to spray the bottom of the pan with Pam or you'll be soaking your dish for a while like me. I'll turn down the cooking time next time.

Pecan Pie V

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2009

My family loved this pie. I put halved pecans on the top instead of in the pie and they had a nice crunch to them. The pie for me was a bit sweet and next time I might reduce some of the sugar or use Splenda for the white sugar. But it was fabulous and I will make it again.

Pan-Fried Asparagus

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2009

I didn't really care for Asparagus until I tried preparing it this way. Now I love it. I think it is the butter that makes it so tasty.

Cowboy Cookies III

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2008

My family thought these cookies were good, not great. Interestingly, I used two different baking sheets when making the cookies so I could have one batch in the oven & one ready to go in the oven. One bakng sheet is air insulated and one is just a flat cookie sheet. The cookies came out nicely shapped on the regular cookie sheet but they came out flat every time on the air insulated baking sheet.

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2008

Produced a juicy steak. We enjoyed this. It just seemed like it was missing something. I will use this rub again.

Sweet and Crunchy Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2008

Fantastic! This went over great with a large group of women. I did not soak the ramen noodles at all but I let the salad and dressing marinate for about 4 hours.

Broiled Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2008

We love this. Add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to the sugar and mix together. I use Olivio buttery spray instead of butter which makes it easy and better on the waisteline.

Apple Spice Dump Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2008

I appreciated the simplicity of this recipe. My family enjoyed this dessert and I will make it again. It seems like there is something missing but I'm not sure. I wonder if putting the cake mix on the bottom instead of the top would make a difference.

Sticky Monkey Brains

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2008

Gross name but oh so good. We call it Monkey Bread or Pull Apart Bread. I use a regular size bunt pan and invert it onto a large serving dish about 10 minutes out of the oven so it catches all the gooey goodness.

Worlds Best Bacon Cheese Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2008

My friends thought this was good but I thought there was too much of a mayo taste. I'm not likely to make it again.

Cranberry Pecan Salad

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2008

So tasty and easy. I will make this salad again. I might try to add some grilled chicken but it certainly doesn't need it.

Cabbage Rolls II

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2008

These were very good. I loved being able to put them in a slow cooker. I didn't remove the hard spine from the cabbage leaves and wish I had. The spine made them rather difficult to roll up. Season the meat mixture to your taste (I added some garlic powder and Old Bay) and you'll really enjoy these.
