Bourbon Slush

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2009

This could be VERY good, but it was VERY sweet even though I omitted the sugar. Next time, I will double the tea and perhaps use tonic water instead of sprite to mix it. That should make it 5 stars.

Kellogg's® Chocolate Scotcheroos

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2009

Two things that make this easier: Keep the mixture on the burner at medium while mixing in the rice crispies. Then when you press it into the pan you can just sprinkle the choc chips on and they will melt on their own. To make cutting easier, put in the fridge for about 30 minutes and then take it out to cut into squares. If you wait until chocolate is cooled, it is hard to cut them without breaking the chocolate topping.

Chicken Tortilla Soup V

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2009

Fantastic. Just like my favorite restaurant's soup. Topped it with sour cream, avacado, and jack cheese. It was a hit and made our house smell sooo good.

Pumpkin Bread Puddin'

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2008

OMG! I have no found a replacement for pumpkin pie this thanksgiving. This was unbelievable. I used heavy cream b/c I was planning on using another recipe when I went grocery shopping. I also used Challah bread which I think made a difference. I tripled the recipe and made it in a 9x13 pan. Served with vanilla icecream and carmel sauce. Everyone thought it was HEAVENLY!!!

Sausage Egg Squares

Reviewed: May 11, 2008

Fantastic! Allowed me to stick with my weight watchers diet even at Mother's Day brunch. I was skeptical of the cottage cheese and wanted to put it in the food processor, but recipe is great as is. Used 2% cheddar to lighten fat even more. Make sure you really chop up the turkey sausage as you brown it as it tends to clump. Paired it with Asparagas and Chicken Crepes from this website as well as Cheese Danish recipe. Crowd Pleasers!

Asparagus Chicken Crepes

Reviewed: May 11, 2008

Very well liked at my Mother's Day Brunch. I think they could use a little more "spice". Might add some season salt to chicken mixture next time. I, too, was skeptical of the mayo/cream topping, but it browned up nicely. Next time might try lite whipping cream instead to lighten up the calories. Used Campbell's Healthy Request Crm. of Chic. soup and used a little more than asked for. Good recipe for brunch.

Chicken Marsala

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2008

I wanted to MAKE AHEAD so that I could enjoy my dinner party. I browned chicken in butter and olive oil (I halved it to save on fat). Then I removed the chicken and made the sauce (I doubled the sauce and could have tripled it!) w/mushrooms, garlic, and vadalia (sp?) onion. In a casserole dish, I topped chicken with sauce and then refrigerated overnight. I warmed it, covered, at 350 for about 45 min. Tasted delicious and no need to thicken b/c sauce seemed to thicken overnight. Tasted like I had just made it that night but I was able to enjoy my party! One other change I made: Instead of pounding chicken, I sliced them in half horizontally to yield to thin pieces.

Jay's Jerk Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 25, 2004

Excellent flavor. I cut out the oil to make the dish healthier and didn't miss it a bit. This makes a lot of marinade. No need to double it unless you have 4 lbs. of chicken. I topped it with "watermelon fire and ice salsa" from allrecipes.com - excellent dish!

Pork Chops with Raspberry Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2004

Excellent flavor. I used Pam instead of olive oil and butter for a lower fat version. Spices are delicious - would even be good without raspberry sauce. A gourmet-tasting meal in just 15 minutes.

Maryland Crab Cakes I

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2003

Grew up and Maryland and this is a great recipe! I used lump crabmeat - even better. I also used cooking spray to cut the fat down to almost nothing. I would suggest adding the crackers slowly as you stir - you'll probably not want to use the amount it calls for - makes for too much filler.

Brownie Caramel Cheesecake

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2001

This was delicious!!! I make it with half of the fat by using low fat cream cheese, fat free condensed milk, hershey's syrup, and low fat brownies (1/2 batch). Everyone loved it and I'll make it again.
