Sopapilla Cheesecake Dessert

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2011

Loved it. The first time I made this exactly as the recipe states. It was very good as is, but we modified the second time to match our personal taste preference. We decreased the topping sugar by 1/2 and doubled the cinnamon. I serve with honey on the side for those who want a more authentic sopapilla experience! Thanks for the recipe!

Braised Flank Steak with Lemon and Garlic

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2011

Not good at all. Sauce was boring and not the least bit flavorful. Might be a good starter recipe, but needs a lot of work. If you have an advanced palate, I would not recommend this dish. ***Personal attacks against my reviews are not welcome. I can not help if your dish was inedible. Stalking my page and saying that I gave a false review is incorrect. I tried a dish that I thought sounded wonderful, and given your "expert" rating, I had high expectations. Unfortunately,those expectations were not met. It looks like I wasn't the only one who was disappointed in this dish.***

Ellen Szaller's Mashed Potato Pancakes

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2009

My son and I made these for a quick late night dinner. I had been looking for a long time for a good recipe and this is it. I did make a couple of changes. I omitted the corn syrup and nutmeg. I also added 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. These turned out perfect. We topped them with sour cream and I am planning on making another batch right now. We used left over pancakes for a modified eggs benedict. We topped them with canadian bacon, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. So delicious.

Impossibly Easy Breakfast Bake (Crowd Size)

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2008

This is our traditional family Christmas breakfast. I can make it up the night before and put it in the oven Christmas morning while we are all opening gifts. Really good.

Angel Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2008

Really good recipe. I grilled chicken breast first and then added the sauce and heated through in the oven. As others suggested, I doubled the sauce and am glad that I did. I also added fresh mushrooms to the sauce. Fantastic tasting! I had fettucine on hand, so that is what we used. I will make this again, soon!

Mock Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2008

I must admit, I was VERY skeptical about trying this recipe, but I am so happy that I did. I didn't have green onions, so I used onion powder & it was fantastic. Shocking how it tastes like tuna. Thanks so much!

Jo-Ann's Power Bars

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2008

A really good, versatile recipe. I used all organic ingredients to really boost the nutritional value. I also added a bag of trail mix that had nuts, coconut, and dried fruit all in one. It is very hearty and a great energy snack for my active family.

Bob's Habanero Hot Sauce - Liquid Fire

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2008

My husband is a habanero fanatic and loved the flavor of this sauce. I use it as a salsa base. I simply pulse in a few tomatoes and a white onion to a small amount of the sauce. A little sauce goes a long way.

Loco Moco

Reviewed: May 17, 2008

I made this to mimic the more traditional recipe that we had on our trip to Hawaii by using a hamburger patty (seasoned with worchestire and pepper) instead of spam. I also made my own brown gravy by using the hamburger drippings, vegetable broth and corn starch. Delicious.

Pork Dumplings

Reviewed: May 12, 2008

Really good filling. I had trouble with the folding of the dumplings - because I'm all thumbs, so I decided to rolls these like mini egg rolls. Delicious. We dipped them in a red chili thai sauce and loved the flavor. I froze 1/2 of this recipe on baking sheets and placed baggies of 10 in the freezer. My son loves them for a quick after school snack or a quick weekend lunch.

Vietnamese Sandwich

Reviewed: May 12, 2008

Very good. I found about 20 different chili sauces in my market and didn't know which one to use. I opted for a Thai red chili garlic sauce. The sweet/spicy flavor was perfect. I think we may try another type of bread with this. It was a little difficult to manage and distracted from the fresh flavors. Maybe a Naan or Pita would be better. Love the flavor combination of the filling. Yum!

Double Tomato Bruschetta

Reviewed: May 10, 2008

YUM! I made these as an appetizer one night for supper & we didn't eat anything else. So good. I had left over capers in balsamic vinegar that I thought I'd try on a few slices & it was delicious. This recipe served with a salad would make a wonderful lunch or simple supper!

Thai Sweet Sticky Rice With Mango (Khao Neeo Mamuang)

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2008

Not bad. I'm not sure what happened, but mine was a little soft and not quite as sticky as traditional Khao Neeo Mamuang. Good flavor, though.

German Pancake with Buttermilk Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2008

The sauce was fantastic, but I didn't like the "pancake" at all. It tasted more like a fritatta with syrup. My husband and son liked it, which is why I gave it 3 stars.

Chicken Shawarma

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2008

I loved this recipe! I am always looking for more international recipes other than mexican and italian & this was fantastic. We used boneless chicken breasts & I added fresh mint to the sauce just because I love the taste of mint in greek food. Very good!

Sour Cream Chicken Quiche

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2008

Love, Love, LOVED it! I doubled the recipe so we'd have some leftovers & am so glad that I did. My entire family thought this was divine. I used a rotisserie chicken from my local deli & doubled the salt like someone else suggested. It was perfect. My small family of 3 ended up eating this for every meal & managed to eat both pies in 2 days. My son is already asking that I make it again. This one is a keeper for sure! Thank you so much!!!
