Morel Mushroom Bisque

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009

This is insanely, incredibly, ridiculously good. I've also made it other mushrooms once my morels were gone, and it tastes heavenly every time. I can't stop at just one bowl...

The flavor was nice (would have been better if we had a stronger beer). Mine curdled and had a very grainy texture; I don't know if that was the recipe or just me. Will try again, with stronger beer to get more flavor, and hope for the thick, smooth, velvety texture of the restaurant soups I'm looking for.

White Lightning Chicken Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2008

I'm the recipe submitter. I don't know what Calvados is so I can't vouch for the results if using that. I use a big heavy splash of applejack brandy (a few "glugs"), apfelsaft liqueur, or even apple wine as a last resort. You can always start light and adjust to taste. Of course the alcohol is optional, it's still good without it!

Grandma's Popovers

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2008

These were the tallest, most beautiful popovers I've ever made! Followed recipe exactly as written, however I used a popover pan instead of muffin tin. It made 5 popovers in my pan, did not need any adjustment in baking time or ingredients. I used butter to grease the wells, and flour - they slid out perfectly with no effort at all. And OOOO were they delicious!

Espinacas con Garbanzos (Spinach with Garbanzo Beans)

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2008

I've made this several times exactly as written, and this last time I had to double the batch because it's so good! The onions were accidentally caramelized last time, darker than I would normally do, but that made it even better - so will plan to do that again "on purpose." DELICIOUS, a family favorite!

Frogmore Stew

Reviewed: May 24, 2008

We love it - made it with either Old Bay seasoning or a bag of Zatarain's crab boil, and we argue over which is better but both are fabulous! I also started using low fat turkey kielbasa, tastes great and we don't miss the fat or calories. It's so much fun to just throw newspapers down and paper towels - no dishes, no silverware, just fingers! Last time we threw in a bunch of crawdads. Definitely a fun meal that we enjoy making often.

Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: May 10, 2008

My kids and I have made this recipe over and over again. Fabulous topped with a dollop of sour cream and a few broken tortilla chips. Sometimes we add more beans, mixing and matching different kinds, but always rinsing them first. I make this just about every other week - it's quick, easy, inexpensive, and even the kids can make it.

The Very Best Burgers!

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2008

WAY too much blue cheese, and we love blue cheese. Next time I'll leave it out and serve it crumbled on the side - burger itself would be really good.
