Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2011

Great recipe, although I did change a bit. I used half brown sugar & half white. I also doubled the vanilla, and halved the eggs and milk and the consistency was still a tad bit thinner than I would have preferred. Maybe my potatoes just took on too much water while cooking?? Not sure, I'll just have to play around with the recipe some more next time. Either way will make many more times to come!

Classic Macaroni Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2011

Came out beautifully! I did cut the onion and sugar down to about 1/3 - just personal preference, depends on how oniony and/or sweet you want it. I did as suggested by another reviewer and added hard boiled eggs. Also as suggested made both the sauce and pasta the night before and chilled separately & then combined shortly before serving.

Slow Cooker Chicken with Mushroom Wine Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2011

Not so good. This came out too runny and bland for my family. I added the extra milk as others have suggested and it made entirely too runny - maybe it's just me tough since it seems like others have had better luck. Also...even with added seasoning ( other than what is called for ) it still came out too bland. I won't be including this in our rotation. Now off to find other slow cooker recipes....

Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2011

Love the recipe with my tweaks! I've made this quite a few times now - usually in the slow cooker. I skip sauteing the veggies ahead of time and just dump everything in the slow cooker. I use 2 boxes of the 32 ounce chicken broth and omit the vegetable broth. I add the spices already included in the recipe and include a dash of cayenne and a liberal sprinkling of parmesan cheese. I then throw in 2 frozen chicken breasts - some may want to add 3, but 2 is fine for my family of four. I let cook on high for about 4 hours. After the 4 hours most of the chicken has already fallen apart into pieces, what ever hasn't can easily be torn apart/separated in the slow cooker before serving.

Minestrone Soup I

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2010

Great recipe! I changed it a bit though....I substituted kidney beans for the cannellini beans. I also used fresh garlic instead of minced, and spinach instead of cabbage. I also included green beans, and a couple dashes of tabasco for a little more flavor. I also included more chicken broth than called for and even with that it was still much closer to a stew than a soup. I like my minestrone to be a bit more soupy so next time I will increase the broth ( and seasonings accordingly ) even more. All in all a great soup!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2010

Wonderful recipe, thank you! I have now made this recipe quite a few times and still absolutely love it. My kids and husband like it just as much too. This has now gone into our regular rotation. Serve with tacos or a taco salad and you have yourself a meal!

Broccoli Chicken Casserole I

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2010

Great recipe although I changed it some - as I'm sure we all do :) I used 3 large chicken breasts instead of 4 - I found this was still plenty for my family of 4 - we even had left overs AFTER my boys all had seconds and thirds. I added slightly less than a 1/4 cup mayo & 1/4 cup of milk. I mixed them together before adding to the casserole - didn't come out too runny at all! I steamed the broccoli along with some mushrooms before adding to the casserole. Last but not least I cooked the stuffing with slightly less water than it calls for before adding to the top. It came out great! Thanks!!

Four Cheese Macaroni

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2010

This was a GREAT recipe - although I did make a few changes....as I'm sure we all do :) I left out the eggs and vegetable oil. I also used just sharp cheddar & monterey jack since that is what I had on hand. I just eyeballed the salt and pepper and added some cayenne pepper, which really gave it a nice kick. Will definitely make again!

Baked Fettuccine Lasagna

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

This came out pretty good. My kids and husband really liked it too. I omitted the bell peppers since the hubby doesn't like them and used lasagna noodles instead of fettuccine. All in all a nice alternative to the traditional lasagna.

Peach Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2009

Very good pie! It did come out a bit runny though despite incorporating some of the suggestions here - turning off the oven once done and letting it sit & also leaving out on the counter for a while after that. Maybe the peaches were just unusually juicy??? Good pie none the less!

Creamy Chicken Lasagna

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2008

Came out great! I did alter a bit though. I did half low fat cream cheese, half ricotta. I also added some extra seasoning to the chicken - garlic, salt, pepper, etc...I also had a mexican cheese blend instead of mozzarella. Will do again, thanks!

Poor Man's Hamburger Steaks

My mom used to make this dish many years ago when we were little :) This is a good recipe. I used bread crumbs instead of saltines ( didn't have any ) and it came out just fine. Will make again

Adobo Sirloin

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2008

I feel bad giving this only 3 stars when most other people seem to love it, but I just didn't think it was that great. I followed the directions exactly and it still seemed a bit bland. You're probably thinking how could it be bland when there are peppers in it?? Yeah.... I don't know either. It's not bad, but not great either. Won't make again, sorry - maybe it was just me??

Manicotti Alla Romana

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2008

Good recipe. I do agree with other reviewers that say the white sauce is unnecessary. I wasn't able to taste it. I did find this a bit bland although I did add some extra spices. I realize everyone has different taste - guess I'm just more of a spicy girl :)

Cake Mix Cookies VIII

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2008

Awesome! Used this recipe a couple times when the kids feel like something sweet and we don't have any desert handy. Have used all different kinds of cake mix and "add-in's". Takes only minutes and they are delicious!

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2008

Awesome! I followed exactly except my pie was done much faster than what is directed. I cooked for 15 minutes at the higher temp and then turned down the heat for the remaining 35-45 minutes as noted, but mine was finished in 20 minutes at the lower temp. Maybe my oven??? Wonderful pie! Thanks!!!

Excellent!!! Only a couple minor changes....I used a clove of garlic instead of the powder, added sauteed onion, and sprinkled in some red pepper flakes for a little kick. Only took minutes to make too! Thanks!
