Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
Tastes quite good...this is hard like MacIntosh Toffee. I used all chopped/crushed pecans and I used milk chocolate chips. There is quite a bit of toffee left in your mouth though as you are chewing and it gets harder and harder as you chew and you end up with a little ball of hard candy in your mouth. I want to figure out how to make this a bit softer and more brittle and not so grainy and hard.

Blackened Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009
This recipe is excellent! I love the dipping sauce! I made up a caesar salad and served the blackened chicken on top of it. This chicken even tasted better today! This is exactly the kind of recipe I was looking for for blackened chicken and I need to no longer look further for one! Thanks so much!

Golden Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2009
Great recipe! I took the advise of others and quickly browned the chops after seasoning them in a bit of garlic powder, salt and fresh ground pepper. I also butterflied them as I had centre loin chops and they were quite thick. Once I browned the chops I removed them from the pan and then added a little bit more butter and garlic and sauteed the onions and thinly sliced mushrooms. I didn't have a can of golden just regular and also did used an additional can of cream of celergy and I added 2 scant cans of creamo. I cooked it covered and removed the cover the last 10 mins or so. My husband raved about them and was licking the serving spoon so I knew that was a great sign!

Ali's Amazing Bruschetta

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2009
WOW!!! No need to go to a restaurant! This bruschetta is simply to die for! Like others suggested I added a splash of balsamic vinegar to the tomato mixture. I had all ingredients on hand and had 2 packages of Concerto baby tomatoes and cut each of those in 1/4's. I minced 4 cloves of garlic and sauted it in 2 Tablespoons of olive oil. I used fresh basil and as others suggested tripled the basil. One poster suggested to cut a garlic clove lengthwise in 1/2 and rub on the bread. I also drizzled olive oil on top of the parmesan cheese. I upped the heat and baked for 10 minute at 400. My husband says this is our appetizer we will be making for all the parties this coming year! Thanks for sharing - a real keeper!

Turkey Brine

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008
Great recipe! First time I ever brined a turkey! I used kosher salt instead of sea salt. I also added 2 tbsp whole peppercorns, 5 bay leaves and I used fresh spices, sprigs of rosemary, sage and thyme. I used 2 gallons of chicken vegetable broth, using the boxed broth from Campbells. When I cooked the turkey I did add a lemon, whole onion cut in half, 2 carrots, 2 ribs of celery and poultry seasoning to the cavity. I also added an olive oil mixture combined with fresh herbs between the skin and meat. This brining along with the olive/herb mixture made the turkey so moist it was unbelievable! My guest at Thanksgiving said "I've cooked turkey's for 20 years and never had such a moist bird"...and it looked perfect to boot!

Butternut Squash Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008
I only had 4 cups of butternut squash, so put in 1 cup of acorn squash and 1 cup of spaghetti squash. I also added 1 1/2 cans of pure pumpkin. Like one other review, I too roasted the squashes to bring out the full flavour! I used 2 boxes of Campbell's chicken broth instead of bouillon. I used butter instead of margarine to saute the onion. I also added about 1 tsp of fresh ginger and an additional 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper. The cream cheese is this recipe makes the recipe if you ask me!

Libby's® Famous Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008
What an amazing recipe! A real keeper! I doubled the recipe as I wanted 2 pies. In the doubling of it rather than add 2 cans of evaporated milk I put in 1 can of evaporated milk and 1 can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk - amazing! Also I added extra spices except for the cloves as I didn't want my pie to too dark. I also added about 1 tsp of fresh grated nutmeg and 1 tbsp of flour as suggested by one other review - so easy to cut - that definately firmed it up and prevented it from being the slightest bit runny! I served this with maple flavoured whip cream! To die for! My guests last night said "This is the best pumpkin pie I've had in my whole life!" You won't be dissapointed with this recipe!

Spanakopita II

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2008
After reading all the reviews this is what I did. I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil to cook the onions, before adding the onions, I minced 2 garlic cloves and sauted them. I actually forgot to add the fresh dill. I omitted the flour. I used 3/4 lb of fresh spinach,steamed it,chopped it up and added it to the onions and garlic. I only used 3 eggs. To the feta cheese mixture, I added about 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice. These were so easy to assemble. Just a note to not worry about figuring out how to fold them. On the box of Phyllo are all the ways you can bake with phyllo and it clearly states how to make the triangles. Also I didn't use 3/4 lb of butter...I used about 1/4 lb. for the whole batch! I cooked these for about 20 minutes `When my company ate these last night - they said "these are as good as..pardon me...even BETTER than that restaurant! In other words...a real hit!!!

After-Thanksgiving Turkey Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2008
Great soup! A real hit with my family! To the original turkey stock I added sprigs of fresh sage, parsley, rosemary and added 1 carrot, 1 rib of celery and 1/2 large onion. And I cheated a little and added a can of cream of chicken soup as I wanted it thicker, as mine seemed a bit thin, but I think that was because I used my mini chopper to chop the vegetables and that created more water in the vegetables/soup.

Chocolate Ganache

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2008
Oh My Goodness! LIke other users, I wanted this as a chocolate truffle filling for my layer cake and so I put it in the freezer for 1/2 hour and then took it out and whipped it up with my Kitchen Hand Mixer for 5 minutes and oh my goodness, the colour lightened, it got fluffy and it was delicious...it was so hard to not eat it right out of the bowl! Look no further for the best ganache recipe ever! This is totally to die for! I don't think I will ever make plain buttercream icing again! I didn't use bittersweet, I used fine dark belgian chocolate and it was excellent! I didn't have regular cream so I used whipping cream! I wasn't able to ice my cake right away and I let it sit for 15 minutes and it did harden up a bit and was a little hard to spread; so next time I will spread it right away for easier application. Thanks so much for this recipe! MMmmmmmm! A+++
