Christmas Eve Beef Stew

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2009
I made this for my families Christmas meal. It was really pretty good. I browned the meat in some flour then put everything into the crock pot. Easy to make and everyone liked it. I only gave it 4 stars cuz I thought it could have used a bit more seasoning.

Tacos in Pasta Shells

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2009
Let me tell you my husband was very skeptical at first. He couldn't understand why we weren't just having tacos. But the entire family LOVED it (my husband said this definitely worth the extra steps to make). I did use 2# of meat and 8 oz of cream cheese so that I could use the entire package of jumbo shells. I also couldn't find my chili powder so I used 1 package of taco seasoning instead. Other wise I didn't double anything else. It fit snugly in my 9 x 13 pan. The left overs were delicious the next day too. Thank you so much for the fabulous dish, I will definitely be making this again.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2009
Oh my goodness! These cookies are GREAT!!! They looked so beautiful coming out of the oven and tasted wonderful. I followed the recipe to the T (minus the sifting my 4 year old daughter "Stirred" it while I mixed the rest) and they were perfect. I usually find a way to mess up chocolate cookies so this is now my go-to recipe.

Sandy's Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009
My family LOVED this recipe. This is the second time I have made this. I did follow some advice of others when making this. I only had one can of cream of chicken so I used that and one can of cream of mushroom soup. I added about 1/3 cup extra milk, about 1 1/2 cups of frozen mixed veggies, couple dashes of pepper and oregano. I baked at 350 for 40 minutes covered with tinfoil (stirring after 20 minutes) then removed the foil, stirred again, topped with 3/4 c of the cheese and baked again for another 15-20 minutes. It turned out perfectly. The noodles were cooked by doing this without the need to precook them. This is a great basic recipe that you can change to the likings of your family.

Basil Chicken over Angel Hair

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2009
My family loved this recipe! I didn't give it 5 stars just cuz I made some changes to it. I doubled the recipe (I wanted left over sauce for another recipe) After reading some reviews, I added some Italian Seasoning and Oregano. I also used 2- 28oz canned tomatoes. I drained the 1st one and put the other in. When I got the sauce done, I noticed it was a bit runny for my taste. So I added a bit of cornstarch to thicken it some. This was fabulous and I plan on adding it to our menu more often. Thanks for the recipe!

Easy Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2009
totally don't know what I did wrong. I followed the recipe as it is, but my cookies were flat...not at all like any of the pictures. I tried it a second time and even chilled it in the fridge with the same result. Must be me,cuz everyone else had good results.

Braised Balsamic Chicken

Reviewed: May 10, 2009
This was a good recipe. I added an extra can of tomatoes to make more sauce. I had to cook my chicken longer because I used thick breasts. The only other thing I did differently was add about 2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with cold water to thicken the sauce. My family loved this served over angel hair pasta. This was a quick and easy recipe.

Famous Butter Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
I really wanted to make a "fried" chicken recipe without all the oil. I didn't have any buttered flavored crackers so I just used saltines and a bit of flour mixed in. I added paprika, lemon pepper, garlic salt, and pepper to the cracker mixture. I realized after I had the chicken breaded that I was out of butter/margarine so I used some pam cooking spray instead(saved some more calories!!) . Just sprayed down the pan and the side of the chicken that was faced up. I flipped the chicken over a couple of times and put some more spray on as I went. I cooked them for about 50 minutes cause the chicken was very thick. It turned out crunchy and absolutely delicious. my family LOVED it. my husband actually told me I could make this every day if I wanted. Thanks for a great base recipe.

Baked Slow Cooker Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009
I made this for my family before I went to class today. I put in on low for about 5 1/2 hours...boy was it ever dry. I will not make this again. I even put chicken broth in the bottom, onions and garlic in the cavity, and seasonings on top. my poor family choked it down. (at least the kids drank their milk!!) The reason I gave it 2 stars is because it was really nice coming home to a cooked meal and the leftover chicken will make a good soup/casserole

Pancakes I

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2009
I am not sure what I did wrong cuz everyone else from the site seems to like them. The pancakes were flat(even though I let the dough rest) and really didn't have any flavor. My 3 year old didn't even eat them and she LOVES pancakes. I won't make this again.

Paul's Pumpkin Bars

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009
These bars were fantastic! I followed the advise of others and used 2 cans of pumpkin and added about 1 tsp of pumpkin spice. I didn't realize that I was almost out of the oil so only used 1/2 cup oil and added 1/2 cup applesauce. I reduced the sugar by 1/2 cup because of the applesauce. I baked them in 2 9 x 13 pans. I used the cream cheese frosting recipe from the pumpkin bars II recipe from this site and they tasted great. I got a lot of compliments on them.

Monkey Bread I

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009
I followed the recipe exactly and they were pretty good. My daughter had a great time cutting up the dough with a pizza slicer. The only thing I would do differently is to make a bit more syrup for the top as they were kinda dry and not gooey like I like them. I used 2 round pans sprayed with pam cuz I don't have a bundt pan and only baked them for about 15-20 minutes.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009
Maybe it was that I made a couple of mistakes when I made these, but they were very thin and not much flavor. I mixed the butter with the eggs/milk, but the butter solidified cuz the milk was cold so make sure to have the milk at room temp. Because of that, the butter melted when cooking them. I followed the directions as written and the pancakes were bland as well(except for the taste of butter from it melting) I don't think I will make these again.

Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2009
I tried this when I ran out of taco seasoning and already started making my dish, this was fabulous! I won't buy the premixed again. The only thing I did differently was that I used crushed red pepper instead of the flakes (didn't have the flakes on hand) It makes a decent amount, so I have some premixed for next time. I was surprised at how easy this was. Thanks a bunch

White Chili with Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2009
Wow! what a great recipe. I made a couple of modifications, I doubled the lime juice, used 2 tsp dried parsley, 1 tsp oregano, and I didn't have an peppers, so I used a can of diced chilies that I had. I didn't rinse one of the cans of beans to help thicken the base. The only thing I would do different is make a double batch so we could have left overs! Thanks for the great recipe.

Cinnamon Cream Syrup

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2009
this was far to sweet by my families taste. I tried making it twice, once as the recipe says then a second time adding a pinch of salt and some vanilla. I think this might taste good as a base for an apple pie,but not a good syrup.

Breakfast Sausage

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2009
My family normally loves sausage-there is never any left. this time however we had 4 patties left. I thought there was far to much seasoning in it. It was easy to make but the flavor was just not my families style.

Chicken Noodle Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2009
This was a great recipe and very simple as well. Perfect for making after work during the week. The only change I made was using a bag of frozen mixed veggies since I didn't want to take the time cutting up fresh. My family loved it both my children (12 and 3) had seconds! thanks for the great recipe.

Soft Christmas Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2008
OH MY GOSH! I just LOVED these cookies. I followed some other reviews and decreased the flour to 3 cups (I had a hard time getting that mixed in and couldn't imagine using more) I also used unsalted butter, decreased the temp of the oven to 350 and baked according to the look of the cookie I used large cookie cutters and baked for about 8 minutes. I also added about 1/4 tsp of almond extract to the batter. I am on my 4th batch today! Now if I could only find a great glaze for the top...
