Butternut Squash Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009
I roasted the squash and then put the soft meat into the dutch oven with the onions and sauteed. This is so good. I added some Louisiana hot sauce instead of the cayenne pepper and was able to control the heat and could add more at the table. Surprisingly filling.

Pueblo Green Chile Stew

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009
I modified this some by adding a can of Hatch enchilada sauce. I cut up some pork shoulder, rolled the cubes in flour and browned them. Then added the onions with some garlic. This was so good and the leftovers were just as great.

Make-Ahead Turkey Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
I made this for Thanksgiving two years ago because we never had enough gravy for a crowd. I plan to make it again this year since we are having a fried turkey but still need gravy for the dressing and mashed potatoes. Really good.

Perfect Crab Cakes With Green Onions

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009
Wonderful. I used the panko bread crumbs on the cakes after I let them chill in the freezer. I also used two packages of Chicken of the Sea ready-to-serve crab which I had drained. Very tasty and made four cakes. My husband and I were glad that our kids weren't eating with us so we could enjoy double portions.

Chocolate Chip Apricot Zucchini Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2009
Very good. I changed up the recipe. I pureed some drained canned apricots and substituted for all of the oil. I also used orange extract and did not have any chocolate chips in the house but used pecans. I made muffins with half the recipe and large ones were ready in 25 minutes. With the other half of the recipe, I used a square cake pan and sprinkled with coconut.

Corn and Crab Bisque

Reviewed: May 19, 2009
Excellent. I used three 6-oz cans of Chicken of the Sea fancy crab, two cans of creamed corn and 16-oz of heavy cream instead of milk. No cayenne, I substituted a few dashes of Louisiana hot sauce. So good that when my daughter turned up her nose at it, I didn't even make her eat it. More leftovers for me.

Crab Quiche II

Reviewed: May 14, 2009
I have not made this particular recipe but do make a seafood quiche that is very similar. I put in canned or frozen baby shrimp and also finely chopped green onion and celery. Excellent.

Wonderful. My dad requested cornbread dressing. This was much better than any my grandmother ever made.

Buttermilk Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009
Just the right flavor for my husband but I waited until after he finished a large serving before informing him about the buttermilk. I have used different combinations of gelatin flavors and fruit and think I like the orange gelatin and mandarin oranges best. This salad is the reason I now always keep buttermilk.

Pot Stickers Traditional

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009
Fantastic. My 14-year-old daughter and I made these and froze about half. They were so tasty, we finished the other half within a few days. We didn't make the sauce as we were able to purchase a quart of some excellent dipping sauce at the Chinese restaurant for only $2. We will be making these again this weekend with pak choy from our garden. Cannot wait.

Pizza Pasta

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009
Very good and much easier than lasagna. I used leftover spaghetti sauce made with Italian sausage and added the pepperoni. Also added garlic and dried basil. Leftovers reheated well also.

Chutney Turkey Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009
Very good. I modified and used what I had. I used some homemade cranberry chutney, mixed curry powder with the mayo, and added slivered almonds. Even better after several days in the fridge.

Tuscan Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009
Excellent. I followed the suggestions and used five sausages, an entire can of evaporated milk, shell pasta as a sub for the potatoes, a can of white beans, extra fennel and some dried basil and used fresh pak choy and spinach from my garden.

Creamiest Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2009
My husband said make this one from now on. I added mixed dry fruit and used leftover rice. This tasted best when first made but reheat fine for a short time in the microwave and I serve rice pudding with whipping cream poured on top. Yummy.

Truck-Stop Buttermilk Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
My husband discovered bugs in the Bisquick so I suggested pancakes from scratch. He had never made them without a mix but was very pleased with the tender results - even if he wants to mix until all the lumps are gone. Very good.

Surprise Banana Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009
I had two ripe bananas so I cut the recipe in half, put in an 8x8 pan. Instead of incorporating the nuts into the batter, I sprinked half of the surface with pecans (my husband's preference) and half with chocolate chips for my daughter. Baked in 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Perfect. Oh, I did add the baking powder suggested by others.

Blonde Brownies I

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009
Yummy. I doubled the recipe on the site and made it exactly as is. I used a dark non-stick sheet pan and cooked for 25 minutes. My daughter loves it and said it tastes like a big cookie.

Coq au Vin alla Italiana

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009
This did not have enough flavor. I ended up adding Sweet Thai Chili Sauce and more salt and pepper, but it was still not very tasty. Needed more heat?? Don't think I will make again.
