Reviews

I've made a pie like this for years and it always gets rave reviews. I use 1/2 cup brown sugar in the topping instead of white sugar and just bake in the oven without any parchment paper until the topping is brown and slightly crisp.

Buttermilk Pie III

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2009

I had never made a buttermilk pie so was delighted when this one was so easy and tasted great. Reminds me of an egg custard recipe that I've used for years. I will probably add the lemon flavoring that someone suggested when I make this again.

Sweet and Sour Green Beans

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009

My husband loves anything with vinegar and he loved this. It was a great way to jazz up canned green beans. Wouldn't change a thing.

Quinoa Side Dish

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009

This was our 2nd try with quinoa and am so glad we didn't quit after our first try. This is an excellent recipe. I used chicken broth only because I was out of vegetable broth and followed the rest of the the recipe as written. Will definitely use this one again.

Chewy Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009

I followed the recipe exactly as written and these were very good the first day. On the second day they were dry and hard even though I stored in an air tight container. A piece of bread added to the container helped, but was still not satisfied with the way they stored. Probably will not use this recipe again

Balsamic Roasted Pork Loin

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2009

Great marinade. I used it on boneless pork chops and they were soooo tender. I plan to try it on chicken as well. Thanks for a great recipe.

Marinated Cherry Tomato Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2009

This is a very easy and tasty salad. Flavor is not too strong or sweet and doesn't detract from the tomatos natural flavor.

Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Excellent recipe. Has a very intense flavor and is quick and easy to prepare. I used chicken tenders instead of thighs and it cooked in about 30 minutes.

Raspberry Coffee Cake

This is such a good recipe. I only had blackberries so made that substitution. Everything else was according to the recipe and it tastes fantastic.

Cranberry Pork Roast

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2009

I made this for Sunday lunch and followed the recipe exactly as written. OMG! It's wonderful. Even my picky husband loved it and went back for seconds. He's already wondering if the sauce would be great on a steak. Thank you for a great recipe.

The Whole Jar of Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2009

These are very good cookies. Not quite as much peanut butter taste or as soft as I was looking for, but still good.

Eggplant Parmesan II

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2009

Great recipe. I did brown in a small amount of oil before baking instead of in the oven, but followed the rest of the recipe as is and was very pleased with the results. Tasted very much like the eggplant that I've eaten in Olive Garden.

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2009

Excellent flavor. I substituted lemon juice for the wine since I didn't have any wine and it didn't affect the flavor adversely. Will definitely use this one again.

Honey Wheat Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2009

This is a good place to start, but definitely needs some tweaking. I made them by the recipe and the bran is a bit overwhelming and the milk powder is too strong. If I make them again I'll decrease the bran to 1/4 cup and increase the ww flour to 1 1/4 cup. May cut back on the milk powder as well. Think it needs a little more Peanut Butter and maybe some spice, like cinnamon or nutmeg. I may add a little brown sugar as some of the other reviewers suggested.

Shrimp Linguine

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009

I fixed this for my daughter and family. They loved it. We left out the bacon as my daughter is trying to lower her cholesterol and it was still delicious.

Soft Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2008

This recipe is excellent. I made the cookies on Monday and Friday they were still moist and chewy. With just my husband and I at home now, the amount was just right. I will definitely use this one again.
