Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2010

I made these for superbowl sunday at the request of my husband and they were perfect. I did squish them down a bit as suggested by another reviewer and its true they don't spread well but the taste is perfectly chocolaty. These were gone in no time!

Chinese Pork Chops

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2010

I recently got a new grill and have been trying out new recipes as I learn to use the thing and this one is amazing. I didn't have time to marinade for 6-8 hours so instead it was probably only about 4, I also used a thinner cut bone in chop. The taste on these was perfect, in fact both my kids who I usually have to beg to eat asked if there were any leftovers could I send them for lunch the next day at school...that has never happened. I followed the recipe exactly and no changes were needed. These will definitely become a staple in my house!

Barbeque Pork Two Ways

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

I made this to the recipe and it was delicious!!! I used a bigger shoulder roast and I sliced it and trimmed off all the fat prior to cooking, it literally fell apart and was so tasty, my hubby had seconds without any bread. This one is a keeper!

Garlic Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

This was too yummy. I actually cut the chicken down to big nugget sized and used a bit more parm and bread crumbs to coat. Its was crunch and so tasty. This is the best one I have tried yet!

Garlic Butter

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009

This is the most amazing garlic butter anywhere. I was really worried when I made it that it was just way too garlicky, I even had my son taste it on crackers but we decided it was ok. I use this specifically to make garlic bread toasted in the oven topped with Mozzarella and its amazing. I made it a couple house ahead, put in the fridge to chill and then microwaved a bit before placing on the bread. The garlic bread I have even made. This one is a definite keeper. I can;t wait to try a pat on some grilled steaks!

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009

This was only 'ok'. the garlic powder really needs to be fresh garlic, and for me there wasn't enough seasoning even though I added both italian season and extra pepper while cooking. It is definitely easy and the kids liked it ok, but I was only able to eat it on top of garlic bread. It also never thickened up for me and I only used 1 1/2c milk.

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2009

This was amazing, I cooked it exactly as the recipe called although I used a smaller pork tenderloin since I didn't need as many servings. The taste was perfect, the meat was tender and pulled apart easily. I served on garlic kaiser rolls which I toasted just a bit. I used Sweet Baby Rays original BBQ sauce. This will be a new staple in my house!

Breakfast Burritos

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2009

Great recipe. I used precooked bacon and sausage and I added hashed brown potatoes. Since I didn't have the bacon fat I cooked the eggs in butter and we ate these fresh for fathers day breakfast so I didn't freeze them. They were very easy and tasted great!

Seasoned Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009

These are the best turkey burgers, I used extra lean ground turkey and they were amazingly moist and they stayed together quite well. It was raining so I cooked these inside on the electric griddle at 375 (you need to cook these slow otherwise the outside will burn before the inside is cooked) and served on buttered toasted bread with American cheese (so really they were patty melts) but they were honestly as good as any burger. My kids didn't know the difference from beef, I will be making these a lot this summer!

Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2009

This was really yummy, the only thing I did different was I cut the chicken down to nugget size (as my kids prefer to eat chicken that way). Everyone loved it!

Zesty Slow-Cooker Italian Pot Roast

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009

This was a good recipe and cooking 10 hours on LOW was plenty, I used chuck and it cut with a fork like butter. The veggies were really good but the meat seemed to lack a bit of flavor. You definitely need to make a gravy out of the sauce to cover the meat.

Fried Onion Rings

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2009

These were the best onion rings I have ever had, they would rival even the best rings at any local steakhouse. I had to play with the consistency a bit to get the amount of coating I wanted which probably ended up being a bit more beer. I also added cayenne sersoning to the batter. After they were done frying (in a deep fryer) I sprinkled them with a mixture I always have of 1/2 season salt and 1/2 garlic salt. These tasted amazing!!! The best advice I can give if don;t slice the onions too thin as they will shrink, and be warned that they will stick together so some of my batches were more like a onion loaf than rings but he taste was awseome.

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

I added celery, onions, garlic and carrotts to the bottom as well as butter to the breats with the onion mix. Mine needed to cook a lot longer, I think next time I will cook longer on high. Aside from that it was moist and very tasty.

Easy Spinach Souffle

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009

This was good but very bland it definitely needs more seasoning and something else, maybe carmelized onions or something. I did double the sauce and it still didnt seem like enough. Its a nice base recipe, but still needs some work.

Chicken Wraps

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2009

These are an awesome idea. I didn't have pineapple nor time to actually marinade them so I used a thicker sauce and baasted it on them before putting in the oven and then rebasted a couple times while cooking. I also did brown up the bacon a bit before wrapping the chicken. I don't see how the bacon will brown in only 20 minutes so this was a very important step. These tasted really good and the thick sauce on the bacon was wonderful!

Italian Breaded Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2009

These were very tasty, since I didnt have a pan that could go from the stove to the oven I just left the garlic in which added a ton of great flavor. I had to cook a lot longer in the oven since I had pretty thick tenderloin slices but it was crispy and flavorful enough! My kids even ate it!

Easy Slow Cooker French Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

This was really good, and after making it plenty of times now I prefer to use chuck steaks and trim all the fat off. Also, it definitely needs spices added. I used Dried MInced onion, onion and garlic powder and even some garlic salt and table salt / pepper blend. I added a little spices then let it cook and then adjusted for flavor with about an hour left to cook. Definitely serve on fresh hoagie rolls so they soak up all the juices!

Oven-Fried Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2009

These were ok, they were a bit too mushy and not crunchy as I had hoped. They also needed a bit more flavor. I may try it again using less butter and spraying the pork on each side as suggest by others. For now I would say its a 3.5 stars. It will do but not fantastic.

Stuffed Shells III

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2009

This was really really good. I wanted something with a bit more substance so I actually browned 1lb of ground beef and 1lb ground sausage both seasoned with italian seasoning and added that to the sauce to cook up for a while. I spooned that on the shells while they cooked for a nice meaty meal. Also one tip, if you put some of the plain pasta sauce in the bottom of the baking dish before adding the shells it works better that spray to keep them from sticking and keeps them moist.

Buttery Soft Pretzels

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009

These were pretty good. I had to add extra water and they still didnt roll as thin as I would have liked to make good pretzles so they didnt cook through well. I think I will add a bit more water next time and let it rise a bit longer.
