Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2011

Best ever. Followed the recipe exactly, except I used vegetable oil instead of olive oil.

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2011

This was good, but a little on the heavy & sweet side.

Southern Baked Yellow Squash

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2011

Unbelievably tasty. I made it without any tweaks- except I seeded the squash first.

Easy Cream of Asparagus Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2011

Delicious and very simple. Only difference, I used dry white wine instead of the sherry and a stick blender. Great easy recipe. Thanks!

Easy to make and tasty considering how easy it is. It's a good recipe to make with kids, or when you just want to throw together something sweet quickly. In response to the review left by Isabelle, I'm surprised that an expert cook like herself would make a recipe like this. Anyone with any common sense can see that this recipe is focusing on simplicity and they would not expect it to be a gourmet dessert. Give us a break, Isabelle.

I didn't have any sweetened condensed milk, so I made it without, and it was great.

Five Minute Ice Cream

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

There are very few OMG recipes, and this is one of them. I did this recipe three ways 1)with cream just as the recipe calls for, 2) with milk instead of cream, and 3) only with the berries partially melted. All three were fabulous, and we may have liked the one with only the berries and the one with milk the best. It actually tastes more like sorbet. I was also surprised how well it scooped after being stored in the freezer. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

Phyllo Chicken Packets

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2009

This was fabulous. My husband and son thought it tasted excellent also... very gourmet. I made it exactly as the recipe calls for, except used finely chopped cooking onions (what I had on hand)instead of green onions, and added a couple of tablespoons of chopped fresh spinach inside of each packet for color.

Great recipe. I used fresh herbs, northern beans instead of pinto, and left out the mushrooms. Otherwise, followed the recipe exactly. Yummo.

Fresh Apple Cake II

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008

Great recipe. Similar to a carrot cake. I used all brown sugar, and added 1/2 t. fresh grated ginger. Frosted it with Cream Cheese Frosting with minced candied ginger and rum added to it. Yum Yum Yummy. Should be able to rate this above a 5.

Slow Cooker Pepper Steak

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2008

The flavor of this dish was okay, but it was my opinion that cooking the peppers in the slow cooker made them too soft. Maybe my expections were too high, as I was expecting more of a traditional chinese flavor.

Denise's Peanut Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

This is an excellent recipe. Made this per the recipe, except left out cilantro, as we didn't have any on hand. The sauce was perfect and would be a good all purpose sauce for other chinese dishes. You could make minor adjustments such as substituting beef broth if you're making a beef dish. After the cooking was completed, I added ~ 1/4 c. peanut butter per some of the other reviews. It gave it a richer peanutty taste, but I actually think we preferred it without the peanut butter.

Fresh Tomato Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2008

This recipe is out of this world. I did make one major modification, which was to turn this into a pizza using a pre-grilled pizza crust (made by grilling on low - pizza dough brushed with olive oil & sprinkled with garlic powder); then broiling in the oven to finish cooking. Even though I changed the purpose of this recipe, I am still rating this a 5, because everyone needs to know how wonderful the filling in this recipe is, and how well the flavors blend. I'm certain the recipe with the pastry crust would be just as fabulous.
