Homemade Pancake Mix

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2011

Great pancake mix and way cheaper than store bought. Have been making this for a while now and I don't change a thing.

I really liked this the first time I made it. But have since changed it a bit to fit the taste buds of my kids. I make my oatmeal as I normally do (water, oats, raisins, br. sugar, cinn., milk, etc) but I add a Tbs or so of powd. milk when it's still on the stove, as well as an egg, for the added creaminess and protein. So, same idea as the recipe, but just scaled down.

Mexican-Style Pork Chops

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2011

Super tasty and super easy. A family favorite now. I take a few shortcuts. Sometimes I don't brown the chops. And I don't use an onion. Also, I don't have an oven-proof skillet, so I just put it in a casserole dish. I change up the herbs and spices, too.

Special Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2011

This is the only way I'll prepare sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners. These are so good. They aren't overly sweet, the oj gives a hint of added flavor, and the marshmallows give it that bit of nostalgia. Simply perfect.

All-Star Apple Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2011

The topping is what really makes this pie. Having canned apple pie filling isn't gourmet, but the topping is delicious. When I made this pie my husband couldn't stop telling me how good it was. We don't add the coconut, he doesn't really care for it. But really, I'd use this topping on all sorts of pies.

Key Lime Pie VII

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009

Holy smokes! this was the easiest thing ever. I don't really used condensed milk much, so I was skeptical when you only bake it for 10 minutes and others claimed it set up. Well it did! So stinkin' easy. Ok, maybe not the squeezing lime part, those little buggers are difficult, kept slipping out of my fingers and knocking me in the face. Like others said, 2 cans milk, 20ish limes. Perfect. Guests loved it!

Magic Peanut Butter Middles

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

Good cookies, but a bit more work than most cookies. I added a bit of sour cream to the chocolate part so they'd stay soft.

Cheesy Potato and Corn Chowder

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

I don't add the celery or the chiles (not a fan)but I do add sliced ham or chopped bacon. I don't use the Mexican style cheese, just regular Velveeta. Excellent! I think I end up putting in more potatoes, but I then add a bit more broth. This is a regular at our house in the cold months.

Tuna Noodle Casserole from Scratch

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

Blech! We didn't like this. It was incredibly flavorless. I added a few extra herbs and such cuz I felt like what was called for wouldn't be enough. I didn't like the topping. My husband and I each had one helping, then that was it. I didn't save any of it (I eat leftovers for lunch every day).

Creme Brulee French Toast

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

Excellent...though I didn't remove the crust (I like the crust) and see why you may want to: so the egg/milk mixture can seep in. If you don't remove the crust then you'll probably want to try 'basting' the bread every couple hrs or so with the mixture so it gets good and soaked. Oh and I didn't use the liqueur, I didn't have any, just used a bit more vanilla. Tasty!

Greek-Style Rib Eye Steaks

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

I made this for some guests and we all really like it. I liked the addition of feta and olives. It gave it good variety. Excellent!

Penne with Chicken and Pesto

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

We've had this a couple times and we really like it. I like to top it with chopped tomato. I think I end up using more pesto than called for.

Raspberry Citrus Bars

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

They were alright. The crust turned out kind of crumbly. I used blueberries (all I had) and thought it was tasty that way. Good, but not fantastic.

Chicken Noodle Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2009

This one's a keeper for us.Although I made a few changes, partly by accident. I used "Country Pasta homemade style egg noodles" and just eyeballed it. Then I forgot to add the broth before adding the milk/sauce so I added about 1/2 a can and let that simmer with the milk/sauce and chicken and veggies. I didn't use any oil to cook the chicken cause I like the caramelizing flavor when the chicken crisps on the pan. And I don't think I used as much cheese as called for, we're not major cheese fans. Also, I think the addition of peas would be really tasty as someone mentioned.

Pumpkin Cream Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2008

Tasty! I used 1 1/2 c milk, because of other reviewers saying it was runny. I also used one pkg french vanilla pudding and one pkg cheesecake pudding. Mmmmm. I think with less milk it helped. Mine wasn't runny or soupy.

Sugar Coated Pecans

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2008

A big hit! Very addictive. I took the advice of one reviewer and put the sugar and cinnamon in with the egg white. They turned out fantastic, BUT I don't think I'll do it that way again. Mostly because they didn't look super tasty. I think they might look better doing it the way the original instructions say. And clean up might be easier too. But super tasty regardless.

Portuguese Custard Tarts - Pasteis de Nata

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2008

Big hit with our guests. One was from Argentina and when he tasted these he said it brought back fond memories. Said his mom used to make them a lot. He asked for the recipe. They were easy and certainly tasty. The only thing I would recommend would be to maybe add something fruity, like a fruit sauce or something. Or even a chocolate sauce, or something to that effect. I think that would liven them up a lot. Give them another flavor dimension.

Easter Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008

We liked this. I baked my hash browns first for a while to brown up a little, as others recommend. I forgot to add the bacon until it was done cooking. So I hurried and cooked it, chopped it up, then sprinkled it on the top. Would've been better mixed it though. Oops. Oh, and we aren't cheese lovers, so I didn't add as much cheese as called for. Tasty!

Spaghetti Pie III

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008

A far more tasty way to eat spaghetti. I really like this recipe. I did half the noodles, as others recommend. I haven't used green onions, but mostly because I don't buy them very often. I did toss the noodles with parm cheese. And I like it better with mozzerella cheese on top, rather than cheddar. Tasty and makes great leftovers.
