So easy, and good too! My husband LOVES this! It is a softer fudge so I don't recommend trying this in a loaf pan. I made it without the candycane pieces and topped it instead with milk chocolate morsels. I also made a chocolate fudge which allowed for a variety of flavors for my guests....everyone was happy!

Irish Cream Truffle Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2009

This is fantastic! I made it with a little less Irish Cream so the flavor would be more mild.....EXCELLENT! Family and Friends oooh-ed and aaah-ed!

Sweet Potato Minestrone

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009

Good, but sweet. I had a lot of Italian seasoning floating on the top which was fine but seemed excessive. Overall I would say that is was average.

Peanut Butter Cookies IV

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009

I made these exactly as the recipe says but took one reviewers advice and put them in my mini muffin pan and topped them with chocolate icing. I took these to work for a function and got raves about how cute and good they were! I must admit, they're easy to eat and hard not to eat a half a dozen at a time! I plan to make these again for a friend's cookie exchange this weekend.

Extra Easy Pumpkin Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

Easy and so great for fall. I followed this recipe just as is....but added pecans to the top of them to offset the sofness of the cookie...then drizzled with a confectioners sugar icing. Delish!

Honey Ginger Carrots

Almond Broccoli Stir-Fry

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009

I was looking for something simular to this and decided to use the sauce recipe with what I had on hand. I made the sauce as directed, stir fried a bag of the carrot and broccoli cole slaw (bought in a bag in the salad section of the grocery) then added a cup of brown rice and tossed. I also stir fried some strips of steak as a topper. Came out pretty good! I didnt add the almonds. I bet this would be good with broccoli!

Pistou Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009

This soup has great flavor. I too used chicken broth because it's what I had on hand and added the zucchini with the pasta. I only had the parm. cheese so I didnt use the other...Still good! I wonder if the olive oil could have been less...I think probably so if you want it to be even healthier. Overall this is a good one!

Pizza Stix

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2009

So good and so easy! I just used the cheese sticks and some garlic powder so there would be flavor but not too much for my kids testy tastebudds. My husband even loved them! In a matter of minutes they were done....gotta love that on a weeknight!

Marinated Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009

Good and easy! I've made this several times. I thought the idea of using katsup instead of opening a full can of tomato sauce was a good idea (and still tasted great). I've tried it both ways and both are good. I also use dried basil instead of fresh.

Lemon Cream Pasta with Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009

This is a good recipe. After reading some of the comments this is how I made it: I followed the recipe for the noodles and the sauce. I cooked a whole box of mini penne pasta for 10 minutes. I sauted asparagus spears, fresh mushrooms and frozen grilled Tyson chicken strips and then added them to the pasta. I think I also added a little garlic salt. I made this for a dinner party and it seemed to be a hit. I do think I will make it again. The asparagus was key!

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Reviewed: May 30, 2009

This was ok, but too sweet. If you like sweet quesadillas you may like this one. I suppose if I try this again I will try it without the brown sugar.

Boston Brown Bread III

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2009

This was so much easier than steaming it in a can! I added a cup of raisins and it was the same! I think I could have added a cup and a half even. I highly recommend this recipe! My mother in-law LOVED it....and she's from Boston!

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2009

I think this would have been better if I had payed more attention to the type of bisquits I bought. I bought the Pillsbury Grands (it was 16 oz not 11oz like the recipe called for). I still used 2 cans.... and wondered why it was so thick! Duh! Now I know... Flavor was good, but the consistancy was far too thick. I will try it again....

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2009

Wow! This was so easy and so delicious! Way better than the kind in a jar! I even used low-fat cream cheese and the 50/50 Smart Start "butter." My husband commented on how good it was numerous times! This is a keeper!

I just made the hummus part of this recipe and it was great! I served it at a party as dip and also made little party breads with it (One loaf of rye party bread--top each slice with hummus, then a slice of cucumber--Mmmmm! I'd make it again!
