Herbed Potato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2009
This was delicious.. I doubled the recipe and used fresh rosemary which I thought was very good; I had some frozen home-made stock so I used it in place of the water. I also had a lot of half & half to use up so I replaced the milk with it; it was very rich and creamy!.. :)

Simple Carnitas

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009
Wow this was awesome! My whole family loved it and it smelled wonderful while simmering! I had went online to browse lots of different ways of making this; some people simmered in lard, some peanut oil and I didn't like either of those methods so I used this recipe and was not dissapointed. I did take advice I found for adding a can of cola to the water; or you could add a can of beer. After two hours I took off the lid, took out oranges and bay leaves then turned up the heat and let the liquid cook down; it took about 15 minutes and then I let the meat brown in it's own fat... Delicious! Thanks for the awesome recipe Ken!:)

Cream of Mushroom Soup III

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2009
This was very good; I did omit the bouillon cube so I added a little paprika, thyme and a dash of cayenne to jazz it up a bit; I also used a small package of dried porcini mushroom which I soaked and then pureed until fine. I added them in when the mushrooms were almost done browning in the butter. :)

Suzy's Mashed Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
These were awesome!.. I couldn't stop eating them. Hubby loved them too; I will make these a lot now that the cold season is coming. It's a nice change to have a creamy delicious mashed potato that doesn't need gravy! I added a dash of dill weed and some chives on top.

Braised Beef Short Ribs

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
This was very good; I didn't add tomatoes, just potatoes, carrots and some celery. Some of the family doesn't care for gravy so I left the gravy as optional! Thanks :)

Spaghetti Italian

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009
Mmmm our Italian sausage was spicy the way we like it!.. This is a family pleasing meal with no one comlaining they didn't like it!... I didn't have the diced tomatoes so mine wasn't as chunky, I just used more sauce. Thanks! :)

Panzanella Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009
I loved it!.. The only changes I made were to decrease the red onion down to about 2T and I used rice vinegar because I didn't have the balsamic... I loved the chewey/crunchy bread; yum! :)

Pad Kee Mao

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2009
Sooo good! This dish had a lot of flavor! I couldn't find the large rice noodles since my store had a very small ethnic section but they had thinner ones for which I followed the directions on the package and they were fine... I used another reviewers suggestion to make the thick soy sauce with brown sugar and I probably doubled my oil but I didn't measure, just poured some in the pan. I added one whole serrano chili that I seeded and it was just mild in heat. I threw in a handful of shredded carrot and a little crushed peanuts on top. So yummy, I will definately make this one again! :)

Favorite Old Fashioned Gingerbread

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2009
I really wanted this to come out perfect but it ended up being dry baked for an hour... I should have read the other reviews but I was actually letting my 13 year old help me bake this... It smelled so heavenly while baking, we served with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon on top! :)

Super-Delicious Zuppa Toscana

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2009
Yum... I love having this soup at one of our favorite restaurants "The Olive Garden" I used Kale instead of spinach and Hot Italian Sausages which I baked in the oven, diced and rinsed well to remove all the grease, otherwise it turns your cream orange. So good! :)

Herald's Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009
We all liked this... I made my own baking mix with help from SunnyByrd :) I used American cheese and it was very cheesy and delicious! We like a bit of spice in food so I added a dash of cayenne pepper to the beef. I would probably add more baking mix or less milk next time since the topping was a bit thin and didn't give as much breading as I would have liked. Good!

Cajun Corn and Crab Bisque

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009
This was good despite I didn't have any Cajun seasoning... I noticed after I already came home from the store. Hubby liked it a lot and I tried making up for the spice with some garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne and paprika. It didn't get as thick as I wanted so I mixed some corn starch with a bit more chicken broth and whisked in a few T. I also added a little crumbled bacon on top (not pictured) with the green onions.

Oriental Shrimp Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009
This was ok but I must have done something wrong because it burned my throat. The spiciness of the red pepper and ginger were strong for me, maybe I made a mistake. No one wanted to eat this in my house so hubby will be stuck taking it to work... He's the human garbage disposal.

Bronco Burger

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009
Mmmm!.. This recipe was my inspiration but I used some leftover chopped steak, omit the egg. I know, but it was delicious with the jalapenos it had a Mexican Torta taste. I used the seasonings and some shredded cheese! All my guys loved them! Next time I'll try them with ground beef!.. :)

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009
This was pretty tasty; I do have a few picky eaters and one who doesn't like fish but he tried it at least. Hubby liked it quite a bit. :)

Pecan Pumpkin Dessert

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009
This was good; I only had pumpkin pie mix so I left out the sugar and spices just adding the eggs and evaporated milk and vanilla. For the bottom of mine I didn't do the wax paper because I did a graham cracker crust which turned out a bit too sweet with this dessert.

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009
These came out very good and so soft! My kids requested some with chocolate chips but my favorites were the plain with icing on them; next time I'll work a little harder on decorating them...

Mini Meatloaves

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2009
So good; I used half the milk and my own seasonings; garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and cayenne. I accidently put the ketchup in then I realized it was for the top so I guess I had twice the ketchup and half the milk! I prefer meat to have a firm texture; a little sweet but noone complained! :)

Pumpkin Fudge

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2009
I wish I'd read Baricat's review before I made this fudge... My bad; I usually do read them but I was in a hurry so my fudge was very grainy! Also note: do not add margarine for the butter since it's mostly water and will ruin it! I still have most of the can of pumpkin and considering trying this agin since the first batch went in the trash!
