Blueberry Oat Waffles

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2012

Yum! I subbed out 1/2 the AP flour for white whole wheat flour to make them healthier. Also if you double the recipe it'll make 4 huge hearty waffles! These were so filling and so delicious...especially great w/ a side of thick cut bacon ;)

Salisbury Steak

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2011

Tangy and Tasty! It had that taste of the frozen kind I remember growing up, BUT so much better! I added a can of mushrooms/drained during the 20 mn. cooking. The sauce is soooo good! Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe! It's a classic and it's a kepper!!

Delicious Southern Cornbread

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2011

Wow I could eat this whole pan of cornbread! I did as other sugg. and used sorghum molasses and I subbed out the oil in the recipe for melted butter flavored shortening. Now it's a true southern cornbread! Better than my Momma's, and that's saying a lot ;) I baked it in my heated cast iron skillet 400 degrees for 18 minutes & it was perfect! Crisp outside and moist and tender inside, not dry like some other recipes I've tried on this site :) This is my new "go to cornbread" from now on!

Glazed Apple Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2011

These are quite good. I found them to a bit too sweet. I am going to cut back on the amount of glaze I use on top of the cookie next time. I think only a small squiggle of glaze squeezed out from the end of a pastry (or zip bag) would be adequate. I had other people try them too, they agreed they were a tad too sweet. Also I think Granny Smith apples work great in these! All in all...a nice spicy cookie w/ tons of flavor!

Sweet Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2011

These are REALLY good! And I also have tried this dough for cinnamon rolls. Delicious! These rolls are so tender and light and scrumptious! They were not overly sweet at all. Just right! So good w/ some butter on them hot out of the oven ;)

Berry Shortbread Dreams

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2011

These are scrumptious little cookies! I used Salted Butter and my little 1" cookie scoop to make these and it made 63 cookies! I also used the end of my wooden spoon to make the indention for the jam. Worked great! I added in 1/2 tsp. vanilla along w/ the almond extract in the cookie batter. Yummy! I used a 1/2 and 1/2 mix of apricot jam and orange marmalade, it gave it that perfect tart sweetness. My oven took 19-20 min. for these to bake. I had to add in 2 teaspoons of milk to the glaze mixture along w/ the 2 tsp. water to get it to loosen up enough for glazing. Great tip about using the sandwich bags for filling them and for glazing them!! Just add in your jam and glaze to each bag and snip off a tiny end of the bag. It makes it so easy and not messy. I also added in a bit extra jam AFTER they had baked. The jam seems to evaporate in oven a bit. While they are on the cooling rack, just squeeze on a bit extra jam to refill the indention, makes them so pretty! Finish with your glaze. I am going to make a second batch today, since these turned out so lovely. This round they will be filled w/ a blueberry lemon flavored jam (Easy Lemon Blueberry Jam recipe on All Recipes)

Grilled Spicy Lamb Burgers

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2011

I made these just as written. They were not to my liking. Way too much going on w/ these burgers. You can't even taste the lamb, might as well be using ground turkey or pork ;) TOO many spices in this that are overpowering, and they are not spicy at all. No one liked them. Next time I want a lamb burger, I'll just make a lamb burger: nothing needed but S & P.

Fisherman's Quick Fish

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2011

Mmm yummy! I used cod fillets. They were thick so I butterflied them horizontally first. I also used a cheesy Ranch salad dressing. I just spread the ranch on top evenly then added the chip/cheese topping and patted down gently. Use aluminum foil to line your baking sheet sprayed w/ Pam: easy clean up! I didn't quite have enough chips, so I used half herb seasoned crackers crushed w/ half sour cream & onion potato chips, and colby jack cheese. It was the "BEST fish we've ever tasted", that's what my husband and 6 yr. old said ;) I also followed another's review and baked at only 425 degrees for 13 minutes. It was perfectly crispy on top and not over browned. The fish was moist and delicious! We served ours w/ rice and mixed veggies. This recipe will be added to my weekly rotation. Thanks for sharing!

Donut Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2011

WOWZA these are some tiny bits of goodness! I followed one review and replaced the milk w/ Buttermilk, and replaced the baking powder with only a 1/2 tsp. of baking soda. Worked great! Add a sprinkle or two of cardamom in the cinnamon sugar mix :) Ok now someone tell me how to stop eating them~

Spaghetti Carbonara II

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2011

Yummy! Combine your eggs w/ the parm cheese and Make sure to remove from heat before stirring in your eggs & parm cheese. I added in 1 cup frozen peas (cook in your pasta water the last 3 minutes w/ your spaghetti) Also the addition of 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg really makes this dish scrumptious!

Turkey Minestrone

Reviewed: May 12, 2011

Very tasty! I only had ground turkey, no sausage and it turned out just fine. I threw in a few frozen green beans also. I like to use white beans instead of kidneys. Top it w/ some parm. reggiano and it's super delicious! My 6 yr. old devoured it! It's a keeper recipe!!

Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2011

Yummy! I love how you can control the salt, etc. in making your own. I cut the salt back to 1/4 tsp. And up the Paprika to 1 TB., and up the Oregano to 1/2 tsp. Better than ANY mix or taco seasoning envelope I've ever had! 2 TB. of this mix per lb. of ground meat works great! You too will want to triple this recipe, or even make enough to fill a jar for later use ;) That's what I do. You save a ton of money as opposed to those envelopes & it tastes better, no MSG and no corn flour or starches! Amazing recipe!

Apple Ham Grilled Cheese

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2011

MMMM MMMM GOOD! I didn't even dip it into the egg mixture. Just made it and toasted it up in the pan w/ a pat of butter like a regular grilled cheese. Everyone loved it, especially my 6 yr. old!

Italian Style Sausage

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2011

I'd cut the salt back to 1 tsp. only. It was a great tasting sausage, just a bit too salty. All the other spices were "right on" :) I always add in a bit extra red pepper flakes, spicy is good! I also did NOT have the anise, so I used crushed Fennel seeds. It gave it the same flavor.

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2011

This made 1 really rich decadent peanut butter pie! I took the advice one of the reviews & used only 3/4 c. conf. sugar, 1/2 c. milk, 1 (12 oz) cool whip and made only ONE pie. It had the best peanut butter flavor ever and it wasn't super sweet. I made an oreo crust for mine. Fantasic even when I used sugar free cool whip & reduced fat cream cheese!!

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2011

"Best pancakes I've ever made" that's what my daughter and husband said. So light and so tender! I left quite a few lumps in the batter, and that was key to not over-mixing it. I scaled the recipe back to 8 servings and it was plenty for us all. It made 6 HUGE pancakes. This is better than ANY box mix for sure!

Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2011

Fantastic, Chewy, Divine! I used 1/2 choc. chips, 1/2 p.b. chips :) Mmm mmm good! I used my reg. Tbl. sized cookie scoop and placed them 1.5" apart, they did just fine, not a lot of spreading. Baked for 10-11 min., cooled on the baking sheet for a min. or two, then to a wire rack. I love the cracked appearance these get when they cool! Perfect sweeteness & a perfectly chewy cookie! Goes great w/ a big ole glass of milk!

Mayonnaise Biscuits

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2011

Best biscutis I ever made! I used 3 Tbl light mayo and 3 Tbl canola oil, 1 cup of buttermilk. I think a biscuit has to have buttermilk in it ;) These were the most tender, moist biscuits ever! I cooked them in my lightly oiled cast iron skillet, 425 degrees for 13 min. then broiled the tops for a minute. This will be my "go to" biscuit recipe from now on ;)
