Dad's Favorite Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2009
Used 1/4 cup butter; 1/4 cup butter flavored shortening; 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup Splenda; and 3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter. Other than that, made as directed and they turned out to have great reviews by both hubby and grandson. Thanks for sharing.

Mom's Cucumber Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009
Used 3/4 cup of miracle whip and only had 3 cucumbers, so that was too much. Peeled, sliced and place the cukes in a colander over the sink and sprinkled with salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes, then made the dressing with 3 packets of stevia instead of sugar and apple cider vinegar instead of white. Did not measure the dill or seasoned salt. Blotted the cukes with paper towels before adding to the dressing. Pretty good stuff.

Vintage Lemonade

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009
Used the lemon zester on the lemons; mixed with the sugar and stirred. Juiced the lemons and put in the refrigerator to get all the juice while waiting for the sugar/zest mixture. Added the boiling water and, when cooled the required time, added the juice and drained over a mini colander to keep the zest out of the finished product. Excellent flavor.

Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2009
I followed the advice of a lot of the other reviewers and used baking soda instead of powder, most of 3 very ripe bananas, a full cup of sugar (actually 1/2 cup Splenda and 1/2 cup sugar) and 1 tsp vanilla. Also, as I had bits of both on hand, I used half chocolate and half white chocolate chips. Because of all the confusion over the pan size and because I wanted to give these to two different people, I made muffins. It made 16 muffins - not 24 servings as the recipe states. Hubby thinks these are very good!

Ranch Burgers

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2009
These were great. Used 95% lean beef and about 8 reduced fat Keebler club crackers and a whole package of the Ranch mix with a whole diced onion. They stayed together for grilling and had a great flavor. Thanks for sharing.

Beef and Tomato Pie

Reviewed: May 21, 2009
Used 1/2 cup milk and a can of fire-roasted tomatoes(instead of fresh)as the changes. Added a can of drained black beans and sauteed garlic with the onions. Pretty good - got to watch the crust at that temp so it doesn't burn. Hubby loved this with Old El Paso taco sauce over the top.

Navy Bean Stew

Reviewed: May 18, 2009
Did not put in the corn or parsley, and used less than half as much sausage (Down Home, of course). For the broth, used bouillon cubes. Yummy - dad's brother and my family loved it.

Caramel Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2009
Used 4 chops. Marinated, as suggested by another reviewer, in apple juice-soy sauce mixture for a little more than 24 hours. Then browned in pam-sprayed pan. Placed in foil-lined pan. Used one can of apple pie filling, as also suggested by the other reviewer, and sprinkled cinnamon and nutmeg over the top of the apples, after heating with 1/2 cup butter in pan. Covered with additional foil and cooked at 350 for 30 minutes, then uncovered and sprinkled with brown sugar and left uncovered for another 15-30 minutes. Yummy.

Catherine's Spicy Chicken Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2009
Everyone loved this. As another reviewer suggested, made the tortilla strips to go along with it. Only had 3 bouillon cubes, so added 2 TBSP poultry seasoning to the water that just covered the 8 chicken breast halves and cooked 20 minutes. While they were cooling, sauteed the onion and garlic till soft and clear; then added a jar of Newman's black bean and corn salsa, can of petite diced tomatoes, can of tomato soup and 2 cans of spicy chili beans. Cut up the chicken and added along with the broth and about 10 ounces drained yogurt. It was a very healthy hit at the family gathering!

Almond Crescent Buns

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2009
It must have been too early for me to do this properly, but turned out great! Instead of placing the butter/brown sugar mixture into the muffin pan, I spread over the crescent rectangles and rolled up as directed. I realized my mistake at that point, but had to keep going, so cooked them that way. They did not cook over and were really tasty. I mixed the powdered sugar/butter mix and brushed over the cooked tops. Would have thought I'd done it right, they were so good. I used vanilla extract instead of almond, added cinnamon to the brown sugar mix and did not put nuts in, as the kids won't eat cooked nuts. Thanks for sharing this easy and delicious special breakfast.

Beef 'n' Eggplant Pie

Reviewed: Apr. 14, 2009
Turned out very tasty. I did not measure the onion or eggplant, just used a whole one of each, and peeled the eggplant in hopes that it would disguise it enough to fool picky hubby! Sauteed the onion, eggplant and garlic together, while browning the ground meat in another pan, in order to drain the fat from the meat. Then put all in pan together with tomato sauce and seasonings before placing in crust to bake. Yummy. Thanks for a sharing!

Peanut Butter Pie III

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2009
A great pie! Made with Kittencal's chocolate crumb crust, with animal cracker crumbs. Used cool whip in place of dream whip. Yummy.

Burrito Pie

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2009
Cut the recipe in half, did not have Rotel tomatoes, so used 1/2 can of petite diced; had no chilies, so diced some jarred jalapenoes; did not have 8" tortillas but had 5 burrito sized, so tore them into bite-sized pieces; added taco seasoning packet as suggested by others. Made two layers, plus the bottom cover out of the sauce, which was a bit scarce at the end. DH enjoyed it. I put plain yogurt over my serving, as sour cream sounded like a good addition and that was all I had. Easy and pretty tasty. Thanks for sharing.

Salmon Cakes II

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2009
These were very good. I did not use the parsley or cheddar (dh does not care for cheese, imagine!). I also substituted the 10 ritz for the bread crumbs and added an extra egg. Should have made more than 4 patties, as these were quite large. Put together early in the day and cooked for dinner, so they were in the fridge much longer than the 20 minutes - so required dusting with flour again before cooking.

Soft, Moist and Gooey Cinnamon Buns

We tried these during the Christmas holidays and they turned out good. Not quite as moist as I was hoping, but everyone liked them. Thanks for sharing this.

Skillet Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onion

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008
This was delish! The pork, potatoes and onions all have a great flavor done this way. I sprinkled the pork with Prudhomme's chicken seasoning before browning and only used one bouillon cube, as I think mine (Knorr) are double strength. Did not use salt, as there is plenty in the bouillon. Used bone-in chops and cooked about and hour to make sure they were tender - and they were! Thanks for sharing.

Baked French Toast

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008
This is delicious! Used the suggestions of CZardus (sp) with 6 eggs and larger pan, his idea for the cream to milk ratio and turned over after several hours. In the morning, I sprinkled extra cinnamon over all the slices before baking. How easy - and still left time for visiting with our Christmas Eve. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Scrambled Eggs Done Right

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2008
We quite often put plain yogurt (not mayo)in our eggs, like this. Healthier and yummy too.

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008
I had a 7.5 oz breast and put a cut onion in the bottom of the crock pot, along with 8 oz chicken broth. Then added granulated garlic, thyme and sage to the onion soup mix before rubbing under and over the skin. Put the breast in with the meatiest part to the bottom of the crock pot, to keep it moist. Cooked on high one hour and then on low for another 6, turning over for the last two hours. It was very moist and flavorful - and no trouble at all. Best of all, the oven was free for all the other Thanksgiving dishes. Thanks for sharing this great idea!
