Corned Beef Potato Pancakes

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
Didn't work for me at all! I was so disappointed. the pancakes didn't even try to hold together. I followed the recipe so I have no idea what the problem was. The product I ended up with wasn't very good either. I'll just stick with corned beef hash out of a can.

Debdoozie's Blue Ribbon Chili

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
For some reason, I wasn't expecting good things from this recipe. I couldn't believe the rave reviews I got. I took this to work for a chili fundraiser. It was gone in a flash and people kept telling me all day how great it was. I used more salsa than the recipe called for and pinto beans in place of the light kidney beans. Not only was the taste great, it was very attractive too.

Bar-B-Que Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
I'll admit, I LOVE "Sweet Baby Ray's" sauce so maybe this review is unfair. I have tried several different homemade sauces and I haven't been too impressed with any of them. This one is very garlicky and not thick at all. Of course, it doesn't claim to be thick but I was hoping for something that would stick to my meat. So, if you are looking for a thin sauce with a strong garlic taste, this is the one for you!

Mexican Shepherd's Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009
This was very good and very flavorful. I almost followed the recipe. I added a can of seasoned pinto beans and I added a little cheese to the meat mixture. I also used 2 boxes of the corn muffin mix. The corn bread part is where this recipe needs so tweeking, for my family. We aren't used to eating sweet cornbread so this was strange for us. Next time I'm going to make my own cornbread. Also, I used a 13x9 pan and I think 2 boxes was too much. One box might be too little, I don't know. We had to scoop the filling out from under the cornbread. We had a lot (of cornbread) left over.

Fruited Ice Cream

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2009
I would have a hard time finding a recipe that was more disappointing, I think. I am still very upset I wasted my time, ingredients, and all that money! I followed the recipe, exactly, except I wasted some very delicious peaches. I even used top of the line ingredients! It was icy, not creamy AT ALL. Not sweet and the delicious peach flavor was somewhere in there but I couldn't find it. I have no idea what kind of ice cream everyone else likes but this one produced something that was no where near what I enjoy!

Juicy Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: May 25, 2009
It really turned out juicy! I had my doubts but it really worked. The flavor was fantastic. The skin looked so dry when I took it out of the over. The final step of basting it and letting it sit was the key to the excellent result. I will use this technique from now on!

Lasagna Toss

Reviewed: May 25, 2009
Easy and very tasty. Excellent choice for a quick weeknight meal. Leftovers were great for lunch the next day. I followed the recipe and I can't think of a thing I would change.

Busy Day Barbeque Brisket

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2009
Pretty good and pretty easy and pretty hot. I couldn't believe how hot it turned out! I followed the recipe, exactly. I also thought it was overcooked. I probably should have watched it; my crockpot cooks hot. Anyway, probably not something I would make again but not too bad for a "busy day".

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2009
This was good but I don't think it was worth all of the work. I suppose if you did it in stages, it might have been easier. I was boiling chicken, making the sauce, and cooking the noodles all at the same time. It took a long time to get dinner on the table. When I work that hard, I want oohs and aahs. I didn't get any. Just a few "this is good" responses. I used a 10oz bag of fresh spinach. I didn't change anything else. I think it has way too much cheese. I would probably cut back on the mozz and add a little more parmesian on the top. Also, it barely fit into my 13x9 pan. I had to keep smashing it down as I was putting the layers together.

Raspberry French Silk Pie

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2009
WAY TOO SWEET!!! The chocolate part was edible. The finished product was almost inedible. The only change I made was I didn't make my own pie shell. I don't think that could have made that much of a difference to the final taste. I whipped the chocolate filling for more than 2 minutes. It was terribly grainy, almost crunchy. The only thing I could suggest is to use sugar free jam. MAYBE that would help.

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2009
Not much to be said that hasn't already been said. Just so good and so fun to make. Next time I think I will add pecans or maybe raisins. They were fantastic as I made them but I think even better with a little something more. This was an easy recipe but it did take a lot of time and left quite a big mess! Of course it was worth it!

Pork and Veggie Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2009
I usually stay away from recipes with few reviews. I'm glad I was feeling adventurous today! This was definately one of the best. The flavor was outstanding. I made a few changes, which I don't think really changed the recipe, just tweaked it a little for my personal taste. I left out the onion, used no oil when frying, used 4 tsp of beef bullion and no salt. I would recommend more water. I used 6 cups and it still wasn't quite soupy enough for me. If I had only used 2 cups it would have burned up in my crock pot! I highly recommend this recipe and I can't wait to make it again and again!

Mexican-Style Goulash

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
We LOVE this recipe! My only regular change is taco seasoning in the meat. Last time I made it, I added a can of Rotel. I thought it gave it a little extra kick. This is definately on of my all time favorites. Easy, quick, and oh so delicious!

Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
Way too hot for me! I am not a fan of "too hot". BF said "tangy" and his forehead didn't even sweat so I guess it was just me. My only change was using ranch dressing. It was a very nice looking pizza and I enjoyed the piece I had. It seemed like so few ingredients to have so much flavor! I'll try a milder hot sauce next time. I used Tabasco sauce.

Man-Lovin' Potatoes

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009
I liked the texture and the taste was pretty good. I didn't add the onion. I thought the onion powder and garlic powder was a little strong. Actually, now that I think about it, EVERYTHING was strong except the bacon. This is a very flavorful and bold dish. Overall, this was an interesting dish but I will not be making it again.

Fried Rice Restaurant Style

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2009
I have always avoided fried rice because I didn't know what was in it. I was happy to make this at home. I changed things a little bit. I used broccoli instead of peas. I made bourbon chicken to go with it and I used the sauce from that instead of more soy sauce. 2 cups of rice was WAY too much, I used about 1 cup. My rice was very sticky. I followed the recipe, I guess it was the type of rice I used. I will definitely make this again!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2009
I was really hoping these would turn out better. I followed the recipe exactly and now I wish I had taken some of the other suggestions. The cookies didn't turn out pretty. They looked flat and greasy (they didn't taste greasy, by the way). I think maybe the addition of some vanilla might help. The flavor was really lacking.

Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009
I am not usually so disappointed with allrecipes recipes. I didn't like this at all. I am a die hard seasoning packet fan so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Actually, there is only one kind of seasoning I like or use so I guess that's the problem. Anyway, it was way too hot and it didn't taste anywhere near the seasoning packet I usually use. I was happy to use all of my own ingredients and know exactly what was in the combination. I used three tablespoons (which was all the recipe made) for about a pound and a half of ground beef. WAY too hot and not what I was looking for at all!

Potato Salad II

Reviewed: Feb. 22, 2009
I love that someone, besides me, eats potato salad like this. I add egg and a little mustard to mine. I think I may add a dash of celery seed when I make it today! Thanks for the recipe!

Corn Dog Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009
I'm going to have to give these just an "ok". I will eat what I made but I won't be making them again. They did remind me of a corndog, sort of. My biggest problem was they fell apart. Maybe that was something I did wrong. The batter seemed a little runny, to me. The flavor wasn't bad and I didn't think they were too sweet. Just nothing to write home about!
