I made this to marinate some sirloins in. It was just ok. I marinated it for about 24hrs. I think I'll go back to my grandpa's way of butter and garlic powder. Thanks for the allowing me to try something different.

This recipe was ok. I tasted the sauce before mixing everything together and thought it was kind of bland. I added some TS Garlic! Garlic! and thyme. That really perked up the flavor. I mixed everything together and threw it in a casserole dish and topped with extra Swiss cheese and put it under the broiler to melt the cheese. I wished I had doubled the sauce as others suggested. We did enjoy it and will make it again, but with these same improvements.

We made these for a party for the 4th of July. I used berry blue Jell-o and added an extra banana. They were pretty tasty, not overly sweet. The kids enjoyed them, especially the pretty blue color, and I did too. I can't wait to experiment with other flavors of Jell-o and different fruits.

Wow! This was a great find. I haven't eaten the real thing from Hawaii, but it must be heaven. I cooked it on high for 7 hours and it was so tender and moist. I used the hickory flavor liquid smoke and added a little more than the recipe called for. I couldn't find the Hawaiian sea salt at the store so I just used regular sea salt. My 5-year-old ate it with no complaints, so kudos to the OP! I had so much left over that I took half and added bbq sauce and the other half I seasoned with Mexican seasonings for pork burritos. Both were delicious!!

I made this as a quick dessert to use up some tortillas left over from a Mexican casserole I had made for dinner. I tried one with just the chocolate and nuts as a test. I liked the cinnamon - great addition. Then we got creative. My daughter and husband had chocolate chips, marshmallows, and bananas-no nuts which were gobbled up and declared awesome. I did bananas with chocolate chips and nuts which was fantastic. We drizzled all of them with some chocolate syrup and a dallop of whipped cream. We had really small tortillas so I stuck them with a toothpick to keep them closed then removed before serving. Yummy, yummy, yummy! And super easy. Thanks!

This was a great dish. I halved the recipe for my husband and I. I used flour tortillas because I really don't like corn tortillas. I had to season the chicken a little. I used cumin and garlic powder. I added half a jar of salsa verde to the chicken and peppers. I didn't add the mushrooms - they didn't really seem like they belonged. I only used half a bunch of cilantro and I'm glad I did. It added great flavor to the sauce, but it was a little overpowering. Next time I will double the sauce to put it in both layers, but still only use half the cilantro. Don't be afraid to use all the peppers. I like spicy food and was afraid it would be too spicy, but it wasn't. We'll definitely make it again.

Thank you for a great recipe! My husband was completely impressed that I took the time to make real beans, not something out of a can. I did fry up 3 pieces of bacon and then sauteed the onion and jalapeno in the fat for added flavor. I used 2 jalapenos and still added some crushed red pepper flakes near the end of cooking to up the heat a little. I added in the bacon just before serving and they were great. They were even better the next day!!

I was making pancakes over the weekend and ran out of the boxed mix. I remembered I had saved this recipe and whipped it up. I made one batch of the plain pancakes and thought they were great. My husband thought they were a little too dense. They were really yummy with strawberry-rhubarb jam!

What a great idea for boring old chicken. I scaled down the recipe for 2 rather large chicken breasts and in place of the plain bread crumbs and seasonings I used Italian bread crumbs with some garlic powder. My 5-year-old had said she wasn't going to eat it, but once she smelled it baking she was begging to eat some too. I served it along with corn and roasted potatoes seasoned with Italian seasonings, garlic, and parmesan cheese. I've already had requests to make it again this week. Thank you so much for a new family favorite! Edit 01/12/09: It's almost 1 year later and this is still my daughter's favorite way to eat chicken. I like to serve it with a small side of fetuccine alfredo and steamed brocolli.

Thank you so much for a easy and healthy meal. I followed the recipe exactly except that I didn't add the celery and onion because the mixed veggies I used included them ( it was a gumbo mix which was great ). I also used alphabet noodles instead of elbow macaroni for my kids. We all enjoyed it. It wasn't a fancy gourmet meal, but it really hit the spot because we were all recovering from the flu. I know we'll be making it often!

I made this for my 5 & 2 year old to take to school for their Valentine's day treat with sliced apples and celery. I followed the recipe exactly and it was great! All the teachers loved it and asked for the recipe. I was lucky enough to have a little left to bring to work this morning, and all of my co-workers are loving it too. The recipe is so simple to make and a great treat. I think next time I make it I might throw in a little cinnamon.

It was good, but not great, especially for the time and mess I made. I did as several of the reviews mentioned and baked the eggplant. The pieces browned nicely for the most part, but I was still left with raw flour in some places. I did add some baby portabella mushrooms to the filling because I wanted to finish them off. The filling was great and I'll probably make it again for stuffed shells sometime. If I try this recipe again, I will layer the eggplant with the filling like a lasagna. UPDATE: The leftovers were much better. The flavors really had a chance to blend together. My husband liked it, so I'll probably try it again sometime.

My mom has been making this cake for years. It is so delicious. You do need to poke holes in the cake so that the butter sauce can penetrate all the way through. We use a bamboo skewer or chop stick to poke the holes.

Thank you so much for a simple and terrific recipe!! I have never made my own bread before, but have been wanting to for a while now. When I stumbled on this recipe, I knew I had to try it. I was so sure my bread was going to be awful because in step 1 my bread sat for about an hour and a half because I got stuck at the store. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out wonderfully. My 5-year-old daughter gobbled it up and she will only eat regular white bread. My husband even bragged to his mom about how good it was. He is Portuguese and his mom makes bread all the time so I took it as quite a compliment.

I used the frozen hashbrowns with the diced peppers and onions as others suggested. I also realized after I started adding ingredients that I didn't have any sour cream. I softened a block of cream cheese in the microwave and mixed in some heavy whipping cream. The casserole had good flavor and was very creamy and rich. It might be interesting to add a crunchy topping like crushed crackers or potato chips too. My husband and I enjoyed it, but didn't think it was anything special.

These are a great little snacks and usually the first thing gone at our parties at work. When I make them I put the brown sugar in a shallow dish and dip each side of the bacon in it patting it good so that it sticks before wrapping it around the smokies. The brown sugar is distributed more evenly that way. I usuallly have to cook mine a little longer to get the bacon crispy. Make sure you keep an eye on them because of the sugar they burn easily.

This is the one part of my holiday meal that was a disappointment. Part of it is my fault because the beans probably should have been cooked a little bit longer. But I was expecting the beans to pick up more of the flavor from the garlic, onion, and bacon. I followed the recipe exactly. I might try to make them again, but cook them a day ahead and let them sit overnight and then reheat the next day.

I made this recipe for Christmas and will definitely use it again. I didn't have any onion powder so I added a little T.S. Garlic!Garlic! I heated mine in my slow cooker on low for about 3 hours and I did stir in a little heavy whipping cream after about an hour. I don't think it was really necessary though because they were pretty creamy without it. A great way to simplify my holiday meal.

I had forgotten how easy it is to make fresh applesauce and how much better it tastes. Thank you for this great recipe. I used Rome apples and followed the measurements exactly. My kids and I are spoiled now and won't eat the stuff from the store.

This was a new addition to our cookie trays this year. They we so easy!! I didn't have any shortening so I used a couple of Tbsp. of butter instead and they were wonderful. My husband still prefers plain old peanut butter cookies, but my daugher loves these and keeps asking for more. I'm going to have to make more for her this weekend. Thanks for a great recipe.
