Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts with Shallots

Reviewed: May 17, 2009
I loved this recipe! I used all sherry and water... thickened the sauce at the end with a little flour and added mushrooms with the shallots. This tasted a lot like Chicken Marsala... Delicious!

Baked Rice and Vegetables in Broth

Reviewed: May 17, 2009
I loved this!.. I did modify it quite a bit. I used 1 cup of red rice which has a very nutty texture but takes a lot longer to cook than long grain. I ended up putting it in a pot with more liquid and simmered about 50 min because it wasn't cooking fast enough in the oven. I also sauted the onion in margarine with the mushrooms and some chopped carrot instead of broccoli. I omitted the bell peppers. I made my own vegetable stock. I just loved the crunchy nutty taste of the red rice; sorry for those who are sticklers and follow the recipe to a T; sometimes I do, but not this time.!

Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake I

Reviewed: May 10, 2009
This was pretty good. I would have liked to add more chocolate to the batter next time. I also stopped adding the water because the batter looked like it was getting to thin. I had about 1/4 cup left. Frosted it with white buttercream... Thanks

Penne with Shrimp

Reviewed: May 7, 2009
I added some Italian spices and some red pepper flakes because my family likes spicy food. It was light tasting since there wasn't any heavy sauce. I may add a little olive oil to help the sauce stick to the pasta next time.

Spicy Lime Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2009
Very good!.. I did mine under the broiler but next time would like to try them on the BBQ if I have larger shrimp... I was afraid these little guys would burn up; I didn't have cajun seasoning, so I made my own with different spices, and added a little cayenne for heat!.. The family always loves shrimp!..

Mediterranean Medley Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009
We loved this salad; especially the olives and feta cheese. Hubby went for seconds. I didn't have fresh basil so I used dried. I'll make this one again, thanks!

Porcupines

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2009
This is our favorite "go to" recipe for meatballs. I love to make this with mashed potatoes since the sauce is great over it!.. I add a T of brown sugar and a dash of worcestershire to my tomato sauce. Yum!

Artichokes

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009
I just put mine right in the water with a T of veg. oil to soften them and 1T lemon juice. I left about 2 inches of the stem on because it is good to eat. Mine were large so I had to simmer around 30 minutes. I also put the garlic slices in the water not inside the artichokes because I thought it may be too strong for my boys. Good with mayonniase on the side! :)

Slow-Cooked Sirloin

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009
Delicious.. I seasned beef well before searing and then placed over the onions in the slow cooker.. I skipped the peppers but added mushrooms during the last 30 minutes. I added an extra cup of broth for more gravy.. I cooked it on high setting for 3 hours; the meat was fork tender, juicy and flavorful.. Served with mashed potatos w/the mushroom gravy and corn.. :)

Egg Salad I

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009
I'm sure I boiled mine longer than specified.. I halfed the recipe but not the mayonnaise or mustard since we like it creamy. I used about 1 T each with 4 eggs. I also used onion powder because I have picky eaters.. It was very good! Thanks!

Peachy Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009
OMG!.. To die for!.. I made this as the recipe stated but added maybe an extra cup of French bread to use it all up and canned peaches. It was delicious; I added some whipped cream and dash of nutmeg on top for presentaion... :)

Crispy Rosemary Chicken and Fries

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009
Hubby said this was a keeper and he liked the flavor... I used boneless skinnless thighs, but I'd like to have a nice crispy skin on next time... Also the potatoes didn't crisp even with the basting; still it was very good! :)

Tater Tot Bake

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2009
OK, I did change it up a bit but the DH and I loved it even more than the kids! lol.. I changed the soup to condesed tomato. I added 3/4 can of water and one beef buillon cube, some garlic powder, Worcestersire sauce, cayenne, green beans and corn to the recipe. Put a layer of tater tots on the bottom of the baking dish then the meat/veggie mixture over it and ended with tater tots. I baked at 425 until my taters were done about 30 min. then covered with the cheese and baked another 5 min. Next time I'm going to try to thicken the sauce with a little cornstarch only because the bottom Tots were a bit on the mushy side.. Very good though!...

Easy Batter Fruit Cobbler

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009
The flavor was really good! I used 1 12 oz. frozen pkg of mixed berries as the recipe suggested. I thought there was a little too much fruit verses cake. I would actually increase the batter next time to 1 1/2 times for the amount of fruit I used. Being that my fruit was frozen it turned out a bit mushy and I didn't like the seeds in the raspberries.. My bad though!.. Over all I think with the changes I said I would really like this!~

Chicken Rice Skillet

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009
This was very good but I have to admit that most of the flavor in mine came from the pre-cooked rice in a bag I bought (2 bags of Safron flavored Archer Farms-Targets').. I added frozen green beans and celery; simmered 5 minutes then added some corn the last few minutes along with the rice. I think the chicken was bland even though I sprinkled extra lemon pepper on top of it.. It needed to be seasoned before cooking IMO... I ended up cutting it up and mixing it into my rice because the rice was very flavorful!.. :)

Bill's Sausage Gravy

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009
This gravy is really good; I've made it before and I like to add a bit of sage or poultry seasoning a dash of cayenne pepper, and a dash of nutmeg to the milk/flour mixture. I didn't need to add the butter because I had enough pan drippings. Thanks!

Reuben Sandwich I

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2009
This was good!.. I made my own corned beef; I also liked the mellow taste of the mozzarella cheese verses the strong flavor of Swiss!.. I sliced it as thin as I could. DH put sourkraut on his and I put coleslaw on mine!.. Grilled to perfection! Delicious!..
