This was excellent! My husband declared it one of the best things I've ever made, and used the phrase "restaurant-quality". I made a couple modifications. I drained all but about 2 tsp. of oil after browning the meat, then added a Tbs of garlic and some sliced onions to the pan. Used a can of beef consomme instead of the bouillon granules, and about half a can of water. Followed the rest of the recipe to a T; made gravy out of the liquids using a heaping spoonful of flour and a couple splashes of milk. Served over rice, but I think next time I'll do egg noodles.

Carol's Arroz Con Pollo

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2011

I made this for the first time tonight - followed the recipe to a T, except used diced tomatoes instead of stewed, because that was what I had on hand. It was really tasty, and even my (ahem) culinarily challenged (read: picky) husband had two helpings. We will definitely make this again!

Roasted Rack of Lamb

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2009

This was positively, absolutely delicious. My husband proclaimed it "even better than the meal [I] had at Capital Grille", which hasn't stopped talking about for months. I used a frenched rack of lamb that we bought at Sam's Wholesale Club and it really couldn't have turned out more perfect. I will definitely make this again - but invite company over next time!

Cinnamon Ice Cream

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008

This was phenomenal! I took the advice of some other reviewers and cut back on the sugar (used somewhere between 3/4 of a cup and one cup). I also let the custard cool in the fridge overnight with a few cinnamon sticks thrown in. I fished out the sticks the next morning (before using the ice cream maker). DELICIOUS. It was excellent by itself, but I served it over warm gingerbread. Swoon! One negative: it doesn't make a whole lot of ice cream. Another positive: it doesn't make a whole lot of ice cream. If I'd had any leftovers after my guests departed tonight, I probably would have eaten them all in one sitting. Still - next time I'll double the recipe. I think there will be plenty of room in my 2-quart maker. I will definitely be making this again.

Creme Brulee French Toast

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2008

I've had this twice now and it was delicious both times! I didn't bother taking the crust off the bread and I think it was more delicious that way. It also froze remarkably well!

Ham and Cheese Biscuits

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2008

YUM! I made these for a party a few weeks ago and they were a huge success! I used Boar's Head brand Virginia Ham, and its sweetness really complimented the delicious sauce. I'll definitely make this again!

Swiss Cheese 'n' Onion Quiche

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2007

This was really easy and delicious! I'm not even that big of a quiche fan, and I loved it. I'll definitely make this again. I sprinkled some cracked pepper over the top, and next time I might add a dash of tabasco.
