Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2012

I was making taco's tonight and didn't realize I didn't have any taco season. This was really good! My family loved it. I won't have to buy the package stuff ever again. Thanks for sharing!

Exquisite Pizza Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011

It was good, but it was too sweet. I love sweet, so for me to say it was too sweet it had to be REALLY sweet. I'll cut down on the amount of honey next time and then it might be perfect.

Mmmmm Mmmmm Good! We followed some of the other reviewers advice and substitued celery seed for the celery. The first time we made it we used the small diced ham in the package. It was even better the second time we made it because we chopped up a ham steak and made the pieces a bit larger than the small diced ham. Looking forward to using this recipe when I have leftover ham after Easter. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It's DELICIOUS! Best ham and potato soup we've ever had.

Carrot Pudding

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011

I'd never had carrot pudding and thought I'd give it a try. I didn't have a 1 pound coffee can so I used two 28 oz glass jars and that worked out fine. I didn't realize I didn't have raisens until it was too late so I didn't add those. I gave it four stars because I'm going to have to experiment with the sugar to get the sweetness down to where it's sweet, but not overly sweet. This dessert is VERY RICH and VERY VERY SWEET. Other than that it was delicious.

Groovy Green Smoothie

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011

The taste was good. The texture was a little off-putting to my husband (it was fine for me). You might want to use a strainer to get a majority of the fruit skins (apple and grape) out before you serve it.

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011

Delicious! My husband and kid loved it. The sauce was really good and could be made for any pasta you were serving. We had some left over and used it on ravioli a couple of days later. Still tasted great! Thanks for sharing!

Grandma VanDoren's White Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2011

Looks just like the picture, Yummy! Didn't change a thing. It was super easy. Just takes time to let it rise (several times) but I didn't mind. It made 3 loaves so hopefully you have three loaf pans in your home. I went out and bought the aluminum loaf pans (they come three to a pack) and that worked out perfectly. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Fast Chicken Soup Base

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2011

Super easy, best chicken soup I ever made! I added 1/3 c Ancini de Pepe pasta to it and let it cook in the broth prior to serving. I also garnished with freshly grated parmesan cheese. My husband and teenage daughter LOVED it!

French Baguettes

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2011

When you make homemade FrenchBaguettes your expectation of the result is higher and you expect it to be the best French Baguette you've ever had. It was just okay in my opinion.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2011

I followed the directions as written. I don't know what gave everything that sweetness, but wherever the sweetness came from my family didn't like it. Maybe the carrots I used were too sweet? Or maybe I shouldn't have used red onion and should have used a yellow onion instead? Or maybe it was the ranch dressing mix? Anyway, to balance all that sweetness we had to use a bunch of salt to get the dish to the point where we'd eat it (yes, it was that sweet). And the chuck roast didn't turn out tender enough in my opinion. We had to cut ours with a knife. I cooked it the specified time and it was not tender. Then I kept it in there and kept checking back on it hoping that it would eventually get to that melt in your mouth falling apart point but it never got there. I'm going to keep looking for that slow cooker pot roast recipe.

Seven Layer Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

It has all the right incredients BUT it's important to have the correct layering AND you don't need sugar if you use Miracle Whip (instead of mayonaise). It should be lettuce on the bottow, then peas, mayo (having the mayo in the middle helps mix it all together when you scoop it out), we use chopped carrot and celery instead of cauliflower sometimes, onion, cheddar cheese and bacon on top.

Fruity Curry Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

It's my go to chicken salad receipe. The curry powder give it a nice kick. It's even better the next day. Sometimes I'll leave out the celery until just before we use it so that the celery is nice and crispy.

Oven-Roasted Asparagus

Peach Ice Cream

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

Almost too sweet. My guess is you will have to reduce your sugar based on how sweet your peaches are. I'm giving it a 3 because it wasn't bad but it wasn't great.

Egg Noodles

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

My grandmother makes egg noodles so I thought I'd give these a try. Not even close to my grandmother's recipe. Sorry.

Spinach Chicken Parmesan

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

Didn't care for it. Sorry. Look at ingredients before you try it folks. This had no flavor. Very bland with a bunch of spinich on top (and I love spinich). Some garlic and a bunch of seasoning might improve it. And maybe cream the spinich so that it's not this big heavy glob of green on your chicken. Season! Season! Season!

Marinated Tomato Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

I had been eating A LOT of tomatoes and was actually getting sick of them, but I had one last fresh from the garden tomato that I did not want to let get bad. So, I tried this recipe, which is very tangy and delicious, and was not disappointed. The best part (I thought) was that the tomato actually got "pickled" and kept for quite some time in the refrigerator after I made this. Great recipe! Thank you for sharing!

Janet's Rich Banana Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

THE BEST BANANA BREAD RECIPE I'VE EVER TRIED! This is now the only recipe I use for Banana Bread. I loved it so much that I gave the recipe to my Mother (who has made banana bread all my life) so that she could start using this recipe instead of the one she has been using. I don't know how it happens but the top of the bread gets a little crispy crunch topping and the inside stays moist and flavorful. YUMMO!!!

Light and Fresh Dressing

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2011

It's like a sweet and sour with a little zip. Love it! Be prepared. It made about 4c of dressing so we have plenty for future salads. If you're just looking for a dressing for tonight though you may want to recalculate with fewer servings.

City Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2011

I've had better City Chicken. Sorry. I gave it four stars because my family liked it. I'm not saying it wasn't good. It was good, but I've had better.
