Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2011

Yes, this is exactly the recipe I was looking for. The proportions are perfect (rice:sauce) and it tastes like it should. Delicious.

Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Stew

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2011

My picky kids loved this! I served it in puff pastry shells and it was a big hit. I would suggest cutting down on the bouillon by 2 cubes since I think 6 cubes would have made this quite salty. Overall, an easy crowd pleaser.

Chicken Fried Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2011

Very good! The trick is to pound the chicken (just so they are all the same thickness) so the cooking time is even. Also, don't get too heavy-handed with the salt in the seasonings...I forgot they were call "Saltines" for a reason. Seriously yummy chicken.

Pickled Beets

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2010

Super easy...even for this canning newbie. I never have 10 pounds of beets at at time, so I pared down the recipe. I also peeled and sliced the beets before cooking. They are very yummy.

Potato Leek Soup I

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2010

Wow, delicious! I halved the recipe (but kept the butter the same), used Marsala instead of white wine and used a hand blender to blend all the ingredients at the end. What a wonderful fall soup.

Sophie's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2010

Yummy. I added cardamon for a more complex spice flavor and added 1/4 c. choc chips instead of walnuts (to get the kids to eat it). An hour would have been far too long. Muffins were done in 30 minutes and loaf was done in 45 minutes. Thanks for a great recipe.

Incredible Punch

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

This should be called "dessert punch"...it was far too sweet for my taste. The flavors were nice, perhaps a mix of ginger beer and club soda would help instead of all ginger ale?

Gazpacho

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2009

I agree with the reviewer who suggested to "use what's on hand". It's summer now and fresh stuff is everywhere so I used all fresh herbs. I also scaled back on the tomato juice and used "Spicy V8" instead. I also used a red pepper instead of green...just because I don't care for green peppers and it's my soup, right? Oh, and I used Balsalmic instead of red wine to give a bit deeper red hue. Yummy recipe.

Creamy Hot Cocoa

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2008

Seriously delicious. The better quality the vanilla, the better the flavor. My girls are crazy for sugar (and it is sweeter and creamier than other recipes), but we drink this in demitasse cups (for espresso) and it's just a nice little treat. I would imagine this would also hold up nicely to peppermint schnapps.

Crown Roast of Pork with Sausage Stuffing

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2008

The crown roast turned out delicious. We made the stuffing separate from the roast and found that it was a bit dry (I'd probably make a different stuffing next time), but the gravy was so yummy it helped make the stuffing tolerable. Perhaps the stuffing would be better in the roast (maybe that's why they call it stuffing :)

Coconut Bread Pudding

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2008

Delicious...even when you're not a bread pudding fan. I used left-over pannetone (Italian Holiday Bread) and it was delicious. The changes I made were that I cut the coconut milk to 1 can, substituted half and half and added pinneaple tidbits (about 3/4 cup).

Applesauce Doughnuts

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2007

Ok, seriously yummy. The kids wanted doughnuts this morning and we amazed them by whipping up a batch in less than 40 minutes. One suggestion I have for making this recipe is make sure your dropping the batter in the oil in the "level tablespoon" size and no larger...otherwise, you've got a yummy looking raw-in-the-middle dough ball. The tablespoon amount of batter gives you a "doughnut hole" sized doughnut. Also, drain them on a paper bag instead of papertowel...it tends to keep them crisper since the papertowel creates a "steaming" effect. Cheers!
