Stuffed Peppers with Turkey and Vegetables

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2009
I did add some paprika, basil and oregano to this mix. I also threw in a little mozzarella cheese because I personally think everything tastes better with cheese! Overall, though, I've been looking for a stuffed pepper recipe that didn't call for rice, so I was excited to find this and I thought it was FANTASTIC. My husband said it could have used a little "more spice"...maybe I'll try a little chili powder next time.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009
Thought this recipe was outstanding. My father said that it could very well be the best muffin he has ever had in his entire life! :) Only thing I did different was use brown sugar instead for the topping and I did half the topping, per so many reviews. They were gorgeous!!

Cheesy Meatloaf

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2009
Followed directions exactly and I didn't care for it at all. I think the ground pork gave it a funny consistency. Husband barely touched it. Very greasy.

Best Ever Banana Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
Very good and really, pretty easy. I also used 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar, per reviews. I made this a few weeks ago and again this weekend and this time, I added extra banana...I used 1 1/2 cups (for me, that was 3 good sized bananas) and I liked it better this time, with more banana...it was more moist.

Sopapilla Cheesecake Pie

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
THIS IS SO GOOD! I couldn't find mexican vanilla, so i used the normal stuff and other than that, followed the directions to a T. I was worried when I took it out of the oven, it was pretty and brown and fluffy but the butter/sugar mix on top had pooled in places and seemed too wet like maybe I should put it back in for a few minutes...but I decided not to and a few minutes later, I look at it and the fluffy brown pastry on top had sunken quite a bit and then I REALLY worried that I should have cooked it longer (hubby even laughed and asked if my cheesecake was supposed to look like that!)....but by the time that it had cooled completely, it was delicious and I wouldn't do anything differently next time.

Grandma's Green Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
I made this for Thanksgiving...tried a different recipe for Christmas and my family begged me to make this one again for Easter. It really is soooooooooooooo good!! I also cook the onions in the butter until they are a little softer, halved the salt and flour and mixed half the cheese in the casserold, per other reviews. Delicious!

Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2009
OMG! i had a sweet tooth last night and don't normally keep much for sweets in the house and i don't know WHAT made me think of looking up this recipe, but i'm so glad i did. it was DELICIOUS! I also lightly buttered the other side of the bread and sprinkled with a little cinnamon/sugar...toasted to golden brown and used a tiny bit of maple syrup on top. I cannot believe how good it was or that I had never tried one before. Don't knock it til you try it!!

Irish Cream Bundt Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2009
The hit of my St. Pats party! Incredibly moist and delicious. I also poured glaze in pan and returned the cake to the pan to let it soak up the glaze. Absolutely perfect. Even my husband loved it and he doesn't usually like dessert that doesn't have chocolate in it!

Guinness® Corned Beef

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2009
Holy smokes! I don't even like corned beef, I just made it cause' its one of my husband's favorites and I thought this was fantastic (he said it was the best he's ever had. He said it might be the best meal I've ever made!) I did mine in the slow cooker for about 9 1/2 hours, adding potatoes with 2 hours left and cabbage with a little over an hour left. I cut off the layer of fat from my brisket, I did use the seasoning packet, (even though some reviewers said not to?) and I used 2 bottles of beer to cover the whole thing. I was very skeptical..I don't like dark beer and its kind of pricey when I only needed 2 bottles....but it was WONDERFUL....those other 4 bottles will definitely be used when I make this again for St. Pat's company. AND SO EASY TOO!!!!!!!

Pleasant Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2009
So many good reviews, I was looking forward to trying this...neither my husband or I cared for these at all. The paprika seemed very overwhelming. :(

Pork Chops Stuffed with Smoked Gouda and Bacon

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2009
I was a little skeptical because I had never tried Gouda cheese, but I got some in a Christmas basket, so I didn't want it to go to waste. YUMMMMMMMMMMMM! Pork chops are one of my least favorite meats, but I make them because my husband loves them...I have no problem making them more often with this recipe!!

Baked Havarti Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2009
This has become one of my favorite chicken dishes! I've made it w/ and w/o the greek seasoning and it definitely "makes" the dish WITH the seasoning. I usually use regular white wine instead of the cooking wine and double the wine/mushroom sauce...YUMMY! Even my husband who complains that i make chicken too often really liked this one :)

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008
These were so easy to make and turned out so pretty! (plus gave me an excuse to buy the mini muffin pan :) For the holidays, I made bags of these, the Big Soft Ginger Cookies, Cashew Cookies, and Award Winning Chocolate Chip cookies (all from this site) and these were the biggest hit and disappeared the fastest!

Microwave Oven Peanut Brittle

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2008
Terrific! I also have a powerful micro, so I did the 2.5 min, added the nuts, 2.5 min, and then another 1.5...perfect! I couldn't believe how easy it was. I did get scared of how rock hard the candy was getting on my bowl and utensils, but followed the advice of another reviewer: boiled water and soaked everything for a few minutes and TA-DA! CLEAN! Made a peanut batch and a cashew batch..half the company said the peanuts were best, half said the cashews were best...but EVERYONE said it was totally addictive. Once you start, you have a hard time stopping!

Homestyle Turkey, the Michigander Way

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2008
The turkey was delicious and easy to prepare, but BEWARE THE COOKING TIME! Figuring the recipe said to cook a 12lb turkey for 4 hrs and one of the reviews said their 21lb turkey was done in 6 hrs, I planned my whole dinner around my 21lb turkey taking about 5 1/2 - 6 hours. After 4 1/2 hrs, I checked on the turkey to remove the foil and try to let it crisp a little the last hour and when I checked the temp, it was perfectly done! I panicked because the rest of the meal was still an hour away from being ready and because i hadn't removed the foil yet, the top of the bird was not brown at all...so i uncovered it and put it back in the oven to try to brown it and when i took it out a little while later, it was over done....the temp didn't even register on the thermometer! it was off the dial! It was still a very good turkey and pretty moist, but I don't think it was AS MOIST as it should have been.

Southern Candied Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2008
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY! The only thing i did differently was use half white sugar and half dark brown sugar and these were fantastic! These sweet potatoes and the Slow Cooker Stuffing (from this site also) were voted by everyone as the best things on the table. Huge hit, thanks for the recipe! I also liked that they didn't have to go in the oven...that oven was busy doing other things! Oh yeah, I also forgot to add the vanilla in the rush at the end, but they were fabulous anyway!!

Cashew Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2008
I was unable to go visit my husband's family with him for the holidays, so I sent him with bags of cookies for all his relatives. I was initally afraid to include these cashew cookies because I did overcook them a little (BEWARE..I started off with 12 min. and they were def. overdone. Next time I will start checking them after about 9 1/2 min. They were dry the first night but seemed to soften up over the next couple days. But I was glad I did include them...they were my dad's and both his parents' favorites in the whole bag!! (I had Award Winning Choc Chip, Big Soft Ginger Cookies and Peanut Butter Cup cookies, so that's saying a lot!!!) Also, next time I will put the frosting in a ziploc bag and cut the corner so I can squeeze/drizzle the frosting on...I had a really hard time spreading the frosting on and I had to make it really thick (a little too thick) for it to stick to the cookie and look nice. ALSO...the frosting doesn't look anything like the cookies in the "main photo"...i guess i didn't look at the other photos before i started and freaked out when my frosting was thick and white, more like cake frosting...not yellow-buttery looking glaze like the picture. But the frosting was still good and better than without it. I'd be interested in knowing what kind of glaze is on those cookies in the main picture.
