Black Bean and Salsa Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2011

This is excellent and so easy. I keep one can of beans whole, otherwise I kept the recipe exactly as it is shown. This is great soup for winter or summer!

Fluffy French Toast

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2011

I guess it is the flour but these are awesome - everyone loves them and it is the only way I make french toast now. I don't change a thing and it is great every time.

So good! I made this exactly as called for but I used a combination of cheddar/jack and it was great. I ended up having a lot more filling left over so next time I will buy more mushrooms - but I cooked it in a dish and used it as a dip, so it didn't go to waste. I did take the advice of others and made these the morning before the party, then heated them up in the microwave and they were perfect!

Double Tomato Bruschetta

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2011

This was so easy and everyone loved it. I didn't change the main recipe at all. However, I made it the day before and served it on the side with sliced bread and crackers.

Caramel Crunch Bars

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2011

My son picked these out to make for a Christmas dessert and they were excellent. We left out the peanuts because of allergies but kept the rest the same. Next time we will have a little less caramel and a little more chocolate - can't wait to make these again!

Grilled Delmonico Steaks

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2011

This was great with rib eye steak. I was only able to marinate it for 3 hours but it was really good! I followed the advice of others and left out the salt and used low-sodium soy sauce. This one is a keeper. I plan on using this on london broil as well.

Amish Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2010

This is a keeper- I didn't change a thing in the recipe and everyone loved it. It isn't too eggy and not too heavy. I fried up the bacon and shredded the cheese the night before so it only took me a few minutes in the morning to prepare. I will make this again. Thanks for posting!

Chicken Marsala

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2010

My son picked this one out and it was a winner. So easy and a great change from the normal chicken dinners we keep making. I also doubled the amount of mushrooms.

Italian Style Pork Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2010

I made this because I didn't have a lot of time. It was a good, basic recipe for a weeknight dinner. As suggested, I turned the chops over after 10 minutes. I suggest cutting the crackers and cheese amounts in half- too much of it goes to waste.

Asian Orange Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2010

Great recipe- easy to follow. I followed the advice of others and kept the sauce to pour over the top instead of tossing it to keep the breading on the chicken. This took a little more time than I like to spend on a weeknight but this is a great weekend meal.

BBQ Country Style Ribs

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2010

I skipped the lemon, cooked covered in foil, with a little bit of water at 300 for 2.5 hours, then removed the liquid, basted with BBQ sauce, covered with foil again and baked at 275 for an hour. The whole family liked it. A good change of pace when country style ribs are on sale.

Sopapilla Cheesecake Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2009

This is a keeper! I found the Mexican vanilla and noticed a difference- just a stronger vanilla flavor. This will be my go-to dessert for pot lucks from now on.

Bread Pudding I

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2009

This was excellent and super easy. I used 5 eggs instead of 6 and used a french loaf that was a day old, since I had it around. I served this with the caramel sauce from another recipe on this site: Peachy Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce. This is a keeper I will make again!

Cranberry Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2009

Based on the reviews I used brown sugar and white sugar 50/50 and added a cinnamon stick. I also mashed it a bit with a fork while it was cooking. I used to make an Emeril recipe but this got better reviews from the family so I will be using this from now on.

Sausage Mushroom Quiche

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009

This was super easy and everyone loved it. I cooked it for 45-50 minutes so it would be firmer. I also cooked the sausage and mushrooms the night before to save time in the morning.
