Crispy Cucumbers and Tomatoes in Dill Dressing

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2011

I tried the lemon instead of vinegar and sugar in this recipe and it was so bland that no one really ate any.

Honey Garlic Ribs

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2011

We really did not like this. It had the flavor of honey without the sweetness. Will not be making again.

Pumpkin Loaf

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2010

Delicious. In order to make these lower carb/glycemic index I used xylitol (GI of 0 and its natural!) and almond flour instead of the sugar and flour. All eight of the kids and the adults loved them.

Avocado Green Goddess Dressing

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2010

Well, even though I'm not old enough to remember the seventies, this dressing was delicious! I used plain yogurt since I had some fresh made on hand and no anchovies because I didn't. I thought it needed a little more lime and garlic, so I threw them in... AWESOME!

Zucchini in Sour Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2010

I will add a little more lemon next time, other than that it was great! What a great change of pace for zucchini!

Restaurant-Style Coleslaw I

Too sweet, even with just 3 tablespoons of sugar, next time I'll use 2.

North Carolina BBQ Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2010

This sauce was not nearly as potent on the meat as it was when I tested it by itself before I served it. My kids gobbled it up, they loved it, although I did reduce the cayenne pepper a bit. My favorite part was the way it made the pork chops taste less "porky". =)

Banana Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2009

I made this recipe using a cake pan since I didn't have a loaf pan. It worked fast and great! I used xylitol (natural sugar alcohol with a GI of 8) in place of the sugar, only 1/3 c honey, and whole wheat pastry flour. I also squeezed in a clementine orange, since we had these on hand. It was absolutely delicious!

Herb Roasted Pork

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009

I tried the balsamic vinegar substition suggested by another reviewer and we did not like the sauce that way at all. We did really enjoy the spices on the meat though (I served the sauce separately). The kids each had several servings!

Garlic Green Beans

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2009

Don't try to use garlic powder and butter instead of sauteing the garlic cloves in the butter... It doesn't work!

Easy Dinner Hash

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2009

I enjoyed this dinner, but I was suprised by how dry it was. It needs a sauce similar to au gratin potatoes: I would like to see someone post a comment or new recipe that incorporates a sauce to bind these ingredients together. Since there is not much water, you have to be careful not to burn the sausage while you cook the potatoes. (I think it would be better to put the potatoes in a few minutes after the sausage has been cooking.) Also I used frozen hash brown potatoes to make it easier, but I should have put the onion in with the sausage, since it took longer to cook than the hash browns. To summarize: start the sausage and onion at the same time. Add the potatoes four minutes later with some kind of cheese sauce, then you would have a five star recipe.

Grandma's Corn Pudding

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2008

I left all but a teaspoon of sugar out of this recipe and everyone still commented on how sweet it was at our Christmas dinner. They all loved it.

Beef and Cornbread Bake

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2008

This was great comfort food on a cold night, it really warmed us up and "hit the spot" as we say here in Texas. I don't agree the comment at the beginning of this recipe that it would go well with with a grilling menu or to take on a picnic. I had to substitute diced tomatoes for the tomato sauce, but it still came out great. I also added a chopped onion to the meat as it was cooking. This dish was substantial, filling, and had a zesty taste that totally obscured the fact that it was 'plain old' ground beef. Even my kids liked it. You could even add more shredded cheese if you are a cheese person. You should try it. I will definitely make this again.

Creole Black-Eyed Peas and Rice

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2008

I made black eyed peas last night and no one ate it. So, tonight I had tons of leftovers and I tried using them on this recipe. I made it without the rice and we ate it with fresh tomatoe slices on the side. It was delicious! These were the best black eyed peas we have ever had!

My kids skipped dessert to eat a third helping of this chicken, if that tells you how good it is!

Eggnog Cookies I

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2007

This recipe won the annual Christmas Cookie Contest at my mom's house last year. I made them on foil and peeled the foil off, and they came off great. I also drizzled white chocolate across the top to add a little pizzaz. This dough is very versitile, since you can made the base without the nutmeg and then divide it into three bowls, add nutmeg to one for eggnog cookies, white chocolate chips to another, and molasses and ginger/cinnamon to another and get three different kinds of cookies from one mixing of dough. If you beat the dough a long time the cookies turn out nice and chewey. If they are too flat for you, just add a little more flour to the recipe. I always bake a test batch before I put the flour in the fridge for any reason. This is a great recipe!

Quick Cheese Biscuits

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2007

Great recipe! Make sure not to make them too small, better to err on the side of too large. Takes only 5 seconds to make this, as a mother of three, I'll be coming back to this recipe often!

Thanksgiving Day Creamed Turnips

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2007

We grew turnips in our garden for the first time this year, and they grew like crazy. This recipe is great and I would totally use it again! I left out the sugar, since it was not Thanksgiving and we didn't need any extra sugar. My family is not really fond of turnips, but we ate this all gone. It tastes like brocoli with white cheese melted over them... Not bad for turnips!

Carrot Raisin Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2007

I served this bread to my guests and everyone loved it... I wish my bread machine was bigger so we could have had more! The top fell in, but I think that this was due to there being too much butter in the recipe. Next time I am going to try it with a little less butter and without the sugar, as it was plenty sweet and I am trying to find good recipes without sugar in them. The taste was spectacular!
