Creamy Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009

I think this was an easy and awesome recipe. I substituted cream for milk and baked the finish product for 15 mins. But even without my adjustments this recipe was a winner.

I think this was awesome. It was easy and quick to make, and only needed a minimal amount of ingredients. I made this for company last night and they asked for the recipe. I did double the sauce recipe because I like a lot of sauce of my pasta. I also took some suggestions from others and added nutmeg (a neat little trick). Served with grilled chicken and some steamed broccoli. My only little sad part was that it didn't reheat well today. The butter separated and it became kind of lumpy. It still tasted great but didn't look pretty. LOVED IT. TRY IT

Baked Pork Chops I

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009

My husband liked this dish. I only baked 30 minutes adding the soup mixture halfway through. I found that the chops were cooked well enough at only 30 minutes. I served with mashed potatoes and used the extra sauce as a gravy. Yes, there were a lot of dishes and that was the worst part but I will make this one again.

Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2009

Pretty darn good. I used to work in an Italian restaurant and was basing my expectations on authentic Italian Alfredo sauce. This came very close. I took advice from others and sauted chicken in butter and olive oil. I also used cream of mushroom with garlic. I doubled the recipe so there were leftovers. This was so easy to make that I will definitely be making it again.

Foolproof Rib Roast

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009

I made this roast for christmas, and as many others said you must NOT open the oven, I actually cooked it with other dishes in the oven as well. It still came out absolutely wonderful, everyone loved it.

Aunt Bev's Famous Apple Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2008

I used a refrigerated crust and it wasn't terrible, but like others said it came out a bit runny. I'll try adding more cornstarch/flour next time to thicken it up.

Honey Baked Chicken II

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2007

Amazing!!! I modified the recipe a bit, I added 1/4 tsp. cayenne, and upped the curry powder to 2 tsp.'s, and like most others recommended, I also cut down the butter. I served this over white rice with the leftover sauce. I will make this one again for sure.

Bat Cupcakes

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2007

These cupcakes were really easy and fun to make. The ingredients were easy to find, and kids can help too. Mine came out great. Just be careful cutting your "cookie wings", they may break while your cutting them, so be sure to have plenty of extra cookies.

Lisa's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2007

This cake was great. I made it as a birthday cake and did it as a layer cake with cherries in the middle. Just perfect. However considering how sweet the cake is on its own, be careful not to choose a very sweet frosting like I did. Put it just a little to much on the sweet side. Otherwise Great!
