Arlene's Shrimp Dip

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2009
This is good & definitely easy to make! I've made it twice now & have had to add a lot more of the Miracle Whip so that it didn't seem too dry & would spread better. First time I didn't have minced onion & used onion powder. I liked it better the 2nd time with the minced onion, but not a huge difference in taste. Plus this got good reviews from the people at the party. THANK YOU!

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009
Super easy - great recipe!! Couple of changes. As others said, I put the corned beef on the bottom of the crock pot. I've made this a couple of times and found the brisket worked better than the round. Make sure to add more water so that the brisket / round is completely covered. I used baby red potatoes so that I didn't have to peel them; cut the potatoes in half. Chopped the garlic in a mini food chopper vs mincing. Adds more flavor. Used red wine vinegar every time I've made this.

Cocktail Wieners II

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2009
I use 2 bottles of chili sauce (24oz total) + 1 jar of grape jelly (18oz). Warm in a pot on the stove to blend the 2 together. Pour over the wieners in a crockpot & let them warm together. Longer the better I think. Never have any leftovers. Very easy!

Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008
Not 5 stars only because I changed the original recipe per the other reviews - fabulous base recipe. We were having a decent number of people over for a Halloween/birthday party (24) so, I doubled the recipe. For the spices I used 3 small onions, 10-12 garlic gloves (chopped in mini food chopper), 3 generous TBSP chili powder, 2 tbsp worcestershire, 2 bay leaves, cumin and 4 cans of flavored diced tomatoes (basil & garlic) with the juice. Also, I put some water (less than 1/4 of a can) in the cans to get all of the juice out & poured that in too. No peppers, beans or corn due to dislikes (mine & husband's). Simmered it for a little bit in a large pot and then transferred to a crock-pot to keep warm, serve at the party. Had bowls of sour cream and sharp cheddar cheese on the side. It was a HIT - we have none left. People were amazed when I told them there was pumpkin in it!! It was not overly spicey which I think worked well given the large number of people with varying likes/dislikes.

Baked Chicken and Brie

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2007
Very easy! Since it was just my husband & I, I cooked 2 chicken breasts. And, I used Chardonnay. I sprayed the cooking dish before adding the wine. I liberally covered (ie didn't measure the amounts) the chicken with salt, pepper & oregano. Next time I will remove the outside of the brie to help it melt better, look nicer. This was a hit!!

Acorn Squash

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2007
Easy to make and great reviews / suggestions! I followed the microwave suggestions (5 min on high, upside down with 1/2 cup water). And, then transferred to the oven after coating the edges & inside with 1 tbsp of butter, nutmeg, cinnamon and I used 1 tbsp of brown sugar. Since I was cooking something else at 400 that's the temp I used, but didn't go as long. Maybe 10 min. Delicious!

Caramel Apple Jam

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2007
Putting the apples through a food processor after peeling/coring is definitely a time saver. I have made this twice now - great reviews from everyone, young & old. Nothing like kick starting your morning with an applie pie taste to your toast. :) I get 7 jars of jam from this recipe. THANK YOU for posting this!!

Apple Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2007
This is really a great recipe. Thanks for posting it and thank you to all of the reviewers! I followed the suggestions to use 1 1/2 cup sugar + 1/2 cup brown sugar. I also added 1/2 tsp nutmeg. YUM!! The batter is thick, but definitely manageable. I didn't notice a huge difference in the cooking time, maybe 5 min.

New Red Potato Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2007
This recipe is GREAT! It gets great reviews from everyone and I love it for the simplicity. I followed some of the other reviews & added salt when boiling the potatoes and doubled the amount of salt & pepper in the mix. Tastes just as good without the green onions too.

Garlic Broccoli

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2007
You need to be a garlic lover to enjoy this recipe. I liked being able to use fresh broccoli, but next time I will cut back on the amount of salt and the amount of garlic.
