Slow Cooker Italian Beef for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2009

as is this is a really good recipe, but of course, I can never leave any recipe alone without making it my own. I added about 5 cloves of fresh garlic (instead of the garlic powder)when I put the meat in the crockpot. I also added some good olive oil at the same time. (about 1/3 cup) Next time I will cut down on the amount of water. The broth is really good, just a little too much for my taste, and with the olive oil, there was just too much liquid. I turned the buns into garlic buns (fixed like garlic bread..broiled and all) then added a good kosher pickle as an extra. Awesome.

Double Chocolate Biscotti

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009

I have made this biscotti 3-4 times. I use a mix of semi sweet chips, milk chocolate chips and white chips. I melt some of the white chips after the biscotti cools and drizzle it over. Awesome

Egg Rolls

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2009

The only change that I made was to use ground pork instead of ground beef and I left out the msg. Instead of getting the bigger shrimp and chopping, I had the small frozen salad shrimp on hand and used them.

Osso Buco

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2009

This was awesome with a few minor changes. I deglazed the pan with white wine before adding the vegies just to get all the good stuff that was left on the edges. When the recipe called for water, I used white wine and added about 1/2 of a chicken boullion cube. I served it with angel hair pasta. My family is nuts about pasta. It was sort of like a pasta primavera with all the vegies that were in the sauce. Oh, yeah, I didn't use any dry herbs. The fresh make a major difference. Terrific recipe. Thanks

No Bake Lime Mousse Torte

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2009

This was really good and simple. I made it the night before as recommended. It tastes much more like a cheesecake but it does have the mousse consistancy. My son loves key lime pie and really liked this too.

Chocolate Cappuccino Cheesecake

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2009

I made adjustments because I don' like coffee. Instead of the instant coffee I used raspberry flavord instant hot cocoa mix. Instead of the coffee liquour I used Chambord. I didn't double the crust. I think that a cheesecake is about the cheesecake. The crust is merely the vehicle that keeps it from sticking to the pan. I didn't think that the cheesecake was too rich, but it is one of those recipes that you have to actually suck off of fork. My husband likes a much drier, cakey texture. No biggy....more for me.

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2009

I needed a simple fast dinner for a team of college basketball players. They were on a layover between games at a tournament. I made 15 lbs the first day and had to repeat for the second. They loved it
