Super-Delicious Zuppa Toscana

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009
Wow, this was delicious! Thanks souporsweets! We substituted kale for the spinach and nearly quadrupled it. This turned out fantastic! Our friends said it was better than OG's soup because it had the bacon added. Never tried OG's soup and now I don't need to! :) Loved how I could cook the meat, onion and garlic ahead of time and slice the potatoes the night before. It makes it very easy to serve for company! Serve with a great salad and some bread and you've got yourself a winner! :D

Cranberry Pork Roast

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2009
This was delicious and so simple! The flavors really emphasized the moist pork and refreshing cranberry sauce. Whole berry sauce is important for texture! Just before serving, I'd recommend slicing the pork and then adding an additional can of cranberry sauce (warmed on the stove) either drizzled over top or tossed like a glaze. This was delicious, tasty and beautiful! We served it with Orange Glazed Carrots and Simple Baked Apples and they really complemented each other! Thanks Kimberley

Orange Glazed Carrots (Steamed)

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2009
This was a very tasty side and quite simple to prepare. We used Ziploc Steam bags (1 lb = 6 min, 2 lb = 12 min) and prepared the sauce separately. Added 1/2 t. cinnamon and 1 t. corn starch to help it set up. After the carrots were done, just drizzled the sauce over top! I'd add some fresh cracked pepper next time. We'll make it again, thanks Heidi!

Simple Baked Apples

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2009
This was delicious! I love the adaption and it's so easy to prep ahead of time! We used cranberry juice and increased the berries and nuts to personal taste. Home run! Served with the Cranberry Pork Roast and Orange Glazed Carrots. I'd highly recommend this recipe and serving with the pork and carrots. Thanks katier185!

'Day Before Payday' Kielbasa and Potato Hash

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
Easy, tasty and so nice to have all the ingredients on hand. I decided to omit the corn and eggs as it already made ~6 servings. I used 4 red potatoes and 1 sweet potato (a must!) and put them in ~10 minutes early to allow them to cook through. I used 2 fresh bell peppers and 1 1/2 onions. MMmmm! This will become a staple! :)

Pumpkin Brioche

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
I have never made a brioche before, that said, I'm not sure how badly I screwed this up. So I'm extrapolating. I neglected to let the dough rise the last 40 minutes in the pan. Entirely my fault. The flavor, however, was very mild. I was very nervous about how wet the dough was, but after refrigeration, it set right up! I would increase the spices and possibly use 2 pans. The directions say one pan, one loaf, but mention "pans" later. Perhaps 2 pans are needed? In 1 pan, it rose tremendously! I'll try this again and perhaps follow the directions better... :(

White Peach Sangria

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
Yum! This is very forgiving and the fruit can be substituted for what you have on hand (provided it's slightly firm fruit). Best to leave your keys with a friend... :) Thanks FoodInc5!

This is comfort food! Quick, easy and all the ingredients already on hand. Awesome. :) I wouldn't serve it for company though... Probably because I'd like keep it all to myself!

Baby BLT

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009
Mmm! Yum! These were delicious and not difficult to do at all! We used a spoon to hollow out and to stuff. A deviled-egg dish worked well to keep them from falling over. Next time we'd add freshly cracked black pepper. Thanks Catmaniacs!

Anna's Amazing Easy Pleasy Meatballs over Buttered Noodles

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
Like it's name, easy and pleasing! Better with fresh herbs over top, like parsley. I could see a good garlic bread getting dipped in here. Served it with salad and it was a hit! Thanks!

Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
I've made this one 3 times now and each time I've gotten great reviews! I've wanted a lemon-blueberry flavor, so I substituted a Pillsbury lemon cake mix and omitted the pudding. Icing was just powdered sugar, milk, lemon extract. It was great! Will use many more times! Thx for the great recipe! **UPDATE** Accidentally left out the sugar, too, and I love how it's a simpler flavor and not so sweet! I'll be omitting the sugar and pudding in the future. Love it!

Chicken Lo Mein

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
Yum, we've made it twice now, once following the recipe time and have had great results! We even screwed it up by using "rice sticks" noodles instead of linguine which were difficult to get sauteed/fried. Dumping everything together in an attempt to soften them with a LOT of stirring worked well. Supper was a success! Next time we'll try adding carrots and snow peas. Yum! Thanks Meesh!

Pumpkin French Toast

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009
Delicious! We doubled the pumpkin puree and still found the pumpkin taste to be pretty subtle. I would not increase the pumpkin past 1/2 cup or the egg mixture may lose its consistency. I added a splash of vanilla extract (personal taste). Using Texas Toast, this recipe made 6 slices = 3 servings. Either add 2 t. sugar or serve with powdered sugar or syrup. This was fantastic, we'll make it again.

Sauteed Apples

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
YUM. YUM. :) We loved this! Found we didn't need much water and increased the cinnamon due to personal preference. Will make as a regular side-dish or served over ice cream for dessert. Thanks 356!

Easy Apple Crisp

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009
This recipe gets 5 stars for easy and another 5 for ingredients on hand! 3 or 4 stars though for the flavor... The ideal topping is: 1/2 c. flour, 3/4 c. oats, 1/2 c. brown sugar and 1/3 c. chopped walnuts. We'd prepared it according to Jen Marshall's review and it was far too much topping for our liking. Lesson learned: If it looks like too much topping, don't add it! :) I used her ratios for these suggestions, but she was certainly right in adding the oats, it would just have a strange cakey topping. We made it with peach pie filling and it turned out wonderfully. I'm sure you could use any pie filling available. Thanks Sarena!

Easy, tasty and it goes so fast! If you use Pillsbury cake mix, you can omit the package of pudding... :) Thanks Denise!
