Pepperoni Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2012

This is soooooo good. Hearty, delicious, creamy, savory, it's got it all. It's perfect as is, but next time we're going to sneak in some more vegetables - sauteed green peppers, onions and mushrooms. I love the sausage links from the butcher's block in Whole Foods (I de-case them when I get home). Also loved this with Barilla's sweet pepper sauce. Unless I have 2 bags of shredded mozz on hand, I just use 1 (8 oz vs 12 oz) and I haven't missed it, and believe me, I love my cheese! We also used the Barilla Plus pasta, and some extra sauce (the entire 24 oz jar) which made it a lot less chewy.

Tuna Pockets

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2012

Quite good although it makes me guilty to eat 2 biscuits filled with stuff. Definitely hearty and added a few shakes of lemon pepper and a squirt of dijon mustard. Very quick to put together and a great way to use up leftover biscuits.

Donut Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2012

Definitely delicious but not completely memorable? I'm not sure I'd remember to make these again. Other reviewers are right, it's more like a dense donut hole. Very sweet.

Garlic Green Beans

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2012

I think this is just me, but it's as good as canned green beans can get (in my opinion, you just can't spruce up canned green beans). The hubby thought it was great. Used this to get rid of a can I bought by mistake.

Broccoli Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2012

Definitely an awesome change of pace from the normal green bean casserole. Looooooved the eggs in it as others have mentioned and found it hard to spread the sauce in layers - it's very thick and there's not that much of it. Might mix it all completely together as others have done. It was so much work otherwise.

Mamma Rita's Eggs and Tomato Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2011

I think if you like tomatoes and eggs, you will love this one, but for some reason I just wasn't feeling it. My eggs got fried (I don't like fried eggs) and not kind of soft poached like in the photos here. Could have been the teflon pot I was using. Also, I thought that the egg and tomato combination was very acidic, but that could have been my tomatoes.

Stuffed Mexican Peppers

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2011

Really loved this. Might try shredded cheese mixed in, instead off the chunk which doesn't disperse next time. I used the Bill Echol's Taco Seasoning recipe and I think that's salty enough - this doesn't need the extra salt, ours was quite salty (esp with the loaded sodium in the tomato soup).

Saucy Beef and Vegetable Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2011

Liked this. It came out tasting like a sloppy joe but with a delicious topping (which makes it more filling). Quite a cozy dish but requires a bit of effort. I can totally see how this would be an amazing dish to hide veggies in for kids.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2011

There was a pumpkin carving contest at work, so I took home some seeds that were going to be thrown away. This is so delicious! I'm not really a fan of seeds (it's a texture problem with the shells), but I wish I could suck off that coating or may try this again with shelled seeds. The hubby went nuts over them.

French Breakfast Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 24, 2011

These are really delicious as everyone's mentioned. I think some orange zest could be really delicious here. Trust in the recipe and don't do what I did - after 25 minutes, I thought the tops didn't look golden yet, so I left it in for another 3 minutes, and they came out very dry. I also brushed the tops with the butter (only needed 1-2 tablespoons), and sprinkled the tops with sugar (only ended up needing 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon), and they were perfectly sweetened. I microwave these for 15 seconds because I like them warm.

Pepperoncini Beef

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2011

3 ingredients, 2 steps. This came out soo good, I inhales the sandwiches. I'm not sure how this is makes 12 servings, it barely made 6 servings for the man and myself. This is almost like a Chicago Italian beef in flavor, and the pepperoncini is soo good afterwards and the au-jus is amazingly delicious. Can't say enough about it. Got an email from the hubby and a comment after work about how incredible the sandwich is.

Boiled Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2011

This chicken and broth is the BOMB. I stop and sniff it probably 10 times as I'm cooking this because it smells so good. And with a short ingredient list, you know it's wholesome. If I'm just doing chicken breasts, then I cook it 30 minutes and let it cool completely, as BODIE358 suggests and it's completely moist and flavorful. I then keep the broth frozen for whatever I need. I do it the night before and make chicken and dumplings (from this site) with it - the soup comes out so rich this way! The crockpot method that Christy Marie suggested is also awesome. It really couldn't be easier.

Cube Steak Parmesan

Reviewed: Sep. 20, 2011

OMG We LOOOOOOOVED this. Best. Use. of Cube Steak. Ever! Served it over angel hair with extra sauce (used mushroom garlic - jarred, because it was really late at night and I was making this for lunches for the week). It really was so delicious and had no problems with toughness. Baked it for another probably 7 minutes with sauce and cheese on.

Individual Baked Eggs

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2011

This is awesome. I was skeptical since I don't like hard boiled eggs but was still intrigued. Had some pre-cooked bacon and it was amazing. Followed someone else's suggestion of making a dijonnaise and putting it on before baking it, then sprinkled paprika and a few grinds of black pepper after adding the cheese. A spray of Pam is a must - otherwise the egg completely adheres to the sides of the ramekin. The egg comes out almost steamed, with a soft baked yolk (depending on how long you cook it), covered with the hearty flavors of melted cheddar, tinged with bacon. Amazing!

Grilled Pizza Wraps

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2011

Um.....hello....BRILLIANT??!?!?! It seems so simple but it's soooo satisfying. Had some supplies leftover from making Pizza on the Grill I (from Allrecipes), and always have tortillas on hand so.....this was perfect. Pepperoni or not, it's awesome either way!

Breakfast Burritos

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2011

Quite delicious and holds you for a while! We scrambled our eggs and loved it with taco sauce. Using wheat tortillas was tough - it would tear as we tried to wrap it, so we stuck with the flour tortillas. Might try the zesty refried beans next time - this time we used fat free and it was great in addition to the taco sauce.

Mom's Chicken Cacciatore

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2011

I thought this was good but nothing special. A tomato based chicken stew. I was hoping for more flavor and complexity. It was definitely heart. Served on rigatoni.

Turkey Wraps

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2011

Made these for a road trip and got rave reviews. I was lucky enough to find a ripe avocado right at the store, otherwise I would have tossed this recipe right out. Used pre-cooked bacon which was fine, and reduced fat Swiss (grated myself), which surprisingly actually had a little flavor. Also used reduced fat chive/onion cream cheese (which I couldn't quite taste, especially over the dijon). Next time would probably go full fat on everything but everyone was quite happy. The only bummer was to spread the spread on the tortilla, which made the tortilla mushy over time. Luckily we ate about an hour into the trip. One more hour on the ice packs and the condensation from sitting on an ice pack would have done it in for sure, but this honestly is a solid wrap.

Amazing 'Pizza' Pork Chops

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2011

The man just said he would have this easily once a week. I have never heard anything like that ever come out of his mouth! The name 'pizza pork chops' really ruined it for him but luckily the taste renewed him. The flavor is so nice. I can see where the pizza comes from but really it just tastes super fresh - fresh thick cut tomato covered in fresh herbs, flavored with fresh garlic and covered in cheese. Thinner cut pork chops were done quicker (14 minutes) but I had trimmed out the bone and wish I had trimmed all the fat off because it's harder to see afterwards, but I was worried about needing the fat to lend to the moisture but it was fine. The hubby commented that they didn't look done, but really it doesn't look 'grilled' for grilled pork chops. They were definitely done and yummy in my tummy. Promise!
