Berry Shortbread Dreams

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2011

These were a huge hit as far as being easy, and fantastic flavor! Everyone wanted these cookies! The jam cooks out of the center a bit so that affects the appearance. Maybe the glaze helps that not matter. We ate ours without glaze because they tasted so perfect that way. YUM!!

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2011

Excellent recipe. Banana bread can sometimes bore me, but everyone loved this recipe. I substitute applesauce or yogurt whenever i can for the oil. They came out great!

Feta Artichoke Dip

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2011

Reallly good, I subbed in some yogurt and light sour cream for half of the mayonaise, and I used light mayonaise. I only used about six ounces of feta because that's what i had. Also mixed in some chopped fresh basil because I had some. This is good because doesn't have the cringey greasy over rich taste of some of these dips.

Easy Corn Chowder II

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2011

This is such a great recipe! I made it twice in one week if that gives you any idea! The only changes I made were that I doubled it, added three tablespoons of chicken boullion powder in place of the salt in the boiling water, and didnt drain afterward. Instead of doubling evaporated milk to two cans, I put in a can and a half since I left in the water that the veggies cooked in. It's so delicious that even my super picky kid loved it. Everyone loved it!

Chicken Meatball Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2010

This is one of those good, clean tasting soups, that taste like Grandma made it. I didnt have parsnips, in fact I've never had parsnips, but I bet it would add something good. The meatballs didnt taste too chickeny either, which was nice, I added some extra spices in the meatballs, such as ground mustard, paprika, the broth is simple so it can stand up to that.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2010

Our family loves this recipe! I will never buy a mix again. My twelve year old makes them herself while I cook other things in the kitchen, we eat some, freeze some in a ziploc. They're wonderful! We have added choc chips, berries, banana, it's all good! We do slightly thin the batter with a touch more milk as our own preference.

My Crab Cakes

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2010

They were pretty good! Even better the next day. Be careful since it says salt to taste, I forgot some of the other ingredients contribute salt, such as the crackers, dont just give it a shake, taste first.

Napoleon's Banana Muffin

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2009

I also cut the sugars about in half.. I used brandy and malibu rum as the alcohol ingredients, and subbed some yogurt for the butter because i was nearly out of butter, and to make them a little healthier. YUM YUM! I made mine as mini muffins:) I am not even a banana bread lover, but these smelled amazing as they bake, the rum, banana and coconut essence in the malibu rum made them smell deliciously tropical!

Navy Bean Stew

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

This was really good. I only soaked the beans one hour, and I dont think that was long enough, because I ended up having to bake it much longer, but it came out awesome! Very hearty!

Fat-Free Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2009

I loved this recipe.. For those who dont like a really TOMATO-Y vegetable soup. I subbed zuchini for the cauliflower, left out the peppers. But used lots of black pepper. YUMMY

Becca's Taco Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2009

I made this, with leftover taco meat that no one felt like facing from yesterday.. I used white beans because that was all I had, and I looked up homemade taco seasonings and added some spices from that along with more water to stretch it. It was so yummy!

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

My two teenage daughters each followed this recipe side by side and made their own pies. It was a delicious, not too sweet, wonderful apple pie. In my opinion it could have actually been a bit sweeter.. maybe a bit more brown sugar?? But it was great! YUM!

Apple Brine for Turkey the Night Before Cooking

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

This was my first time doing the brine thing.. I used this recipe with the addition of a little over a cup of brown sugar, and two bottles of beer, and left the garlic out.. oh, and a tablespoon each of dried sage, thyme and rosemary. So this is less about this exact recipe and more about the whole bringing thing.. IT WAS THE BEST TURKEY I HAVE EVER MADE!! MOIST, TASTY MEAT, YUMMY GRAVY WITH THE DRIPPINGS. I used a big enamel pot I have for canning to brine in. It was delicious!

Coconut-Cornflake Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

I took these to a pot luck tonight, and every last one of them was gone, with five people coming up to me and saying how amazing they were and requesting them for a get togethr next week! They were a little bit sticky to my teeth but no one else complained! Very similar to a macaroon. I'm going to try to reduce the sugar next time. Delicious and different, will be a part of my holiday cookie tray from now on..

Family's Creamed Spinach

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2006

This is a great recipe! I made it with three bags of fresh spinach, and I added a bit more flour and evaporated milk to stretch it. I also added some shredded 4 cheese blend that I had in the house. It doesnt get any easier! You can't tell canned soup was made, it tastes better than my friend's traditional creameed spinach made with cream and bacon!
