Jenn's Out Of This World Spaghetti and Meatballs

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
5 stars for the meatballs, 3 stars for the sauce. I will make these meatballs again, but will use jarred sauce.

Jalepeno Cheese Dip

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
I really hated the combo of mayo and mozzarella.

Lemon Linguine

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009
My lemon-loving husband didn't approve. Not enough lemon for him. I think the parmesan reminded him of Alfredo sauce, because he ended the meal saying he wished I'd made that instead.

Spicy Hot Chicken Legs

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009
We were not fans of this dish. The legs fell apart in the crock, and the pieces retained very little hot sauce flavor.

Parmesan Chicken II

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009
This is a decent week-night recipe. The taste isn't much different from other oven fried chicken recipes. I lowered the baking temperature because the coating was burning.

Easy Meatloaf

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009
This was ok. It was impossible to drain because the topping would have slid off into the bin.

Fantastic Black Bean Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2009
We liked this, but the flavor of the black beans dominated the dish. How much you like this dish will depend on how much you like black beans.

Indian Chicken Curry II

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2009
I say it tasted entirely like cinnamon. My husband says it tasted like nothing. A wasted hour of my life either way.

Chicken Scampi II

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009
This gets 4 stars instead of 5 because it needed more garlic/herbs. Next time, I'll toss some chopped tomatoes in with the pasta. Good recipe, but it does need something a bit... more (certainly not more butter, though).

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2009
These are baking in my oven as I type this. I don't need to taste them to know I WON'T be making these again. I make brownies from scratch all the time, from a variety of different recipes. I know what I'm doing. This recipe is a disaster. The directions need to be changed to instruct people to shift together the dry ingredients first and set aside. Otherwise, the butter cools while preparing this, and batter becomes impossible to mix. Mine was a brick. The butter amount for a 9x13 pan is correct, but the sugar and cocoa is too much, and the flour not enough. Sorry, but this is a bad recipe. ETA: Now that my brownies are cooked, I can give my statement on taste. These are chocolaty and chewy, but taste EXACTLY like a store-bought mix I had as a kid.

Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009
From all the rave reviews, I was expecting to love this pie, but I didn't. The flavor was too mild for me. I'm used to a denser filling, with a stronger pumpkin flavor and more spice.

Tacos in Pasta Shells

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2009
Taste was below average. Effort was well above average. Verdict: not worth it. There's probably a reason the Italians use ricotta in their shell filling. The cream cheese took forever to melt into the beef mixture.

Bacon-Roasted Chicken with Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2009
Delicious, simple, and a bit elegant. It will impress company, but is easy to make, even for someone who's never worked with chicken legs before (like me!). I left the black pepper out of this dish. The amount called for is way too much, and adobo already has pepper in it. When serving, pull the chicken out first, and then stir the potatoes around in the drippings and seasoning left behind, getting them all nice and coated. Yum!

Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2009
The cheddar adds more to the texture than to the flavor. These are definitely better than your standard deviled eggs.

Lisa's Easy Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2009
I had been meaning to try this recipe for about a year, and I'm glad I finally did. After reading some of the reviews, I doubled the rub. The only other significant change to the recipe I would make is leaving out the green pepper. It didn't seem to "go" with the dish.

Bob Evans® Favorite Chili Recipe

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2009
This is ok. I wound up adding a can of salsa to mine to give it more flavor. I prefer other chili recipes.

Real Texas Chili

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2009
I'm just a simple Pennsylvania girl. I expected something called "texas chili" to have bold, rich flavor. Imagine my surprise when I tasted what had been simmering for 4 hours on my stove top and discovered pile of beef in a tasteless broth. I had to make some changes. I added an additional 3 tablespoons of chili powder, and 2 more teaspoons cumin. I added cayenne pepper, onion powder, a pinch of dried basil, and two bay leaves. I also added another can of beef broth. I let it simmer another hour, and then refrigerated overnight (the bay leaves went into the refrigerator with them). The next day, I simmered it another hour before eating. If I had it on hand, I would have added another can of broth. In the end, it was good. However, I'm surprised how much additional seasoning I needed to add to make it good. Trust me, this recipe is bland as written.
