Garlicky Baked Butternut Squash

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2007
OMIGOSH! I love this stuff! My kids even love it. It is growing on my husband. I followed the recipe pretty much. I peeled and cut the squash, put the pieces in a plastic bag with olive oil, garlic, and added a little sage and nutmeg and shook it up. Then I poured it onto a foil lined baking sheet and salted and peppered it. I baked it at 400 with no problems. Every 10-15 minutes I took it out and picked up the ends of the foil to help me "stir" it without tearing the foil. It only took about 35 minutes though. I forgot to add the parmesan but I'm not sure it would be better with it. This is awesome with Brussel Sprouts Lardons. It is so nice to have another yellow/orange veggie to serve. You gotta try it.

Cajun Style Stuffed Peppers

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2007
Theses were delicious. I have a bumper crop of green, red and yellow bell peppers so this was a tasty way to use them. Each had its own flavor. I used more sausage just cause it is better than rice. I used about 1/2 to 3/4 of the rice and adjusted the liquids. We all loved it, even my 10 and 8 year olds. Will definitely make again. Thanks!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies III

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2007
I tried these hoping that they would be better than my other oatmeal cookie recipes but I had the same problem with this one. (It's not my oven, I've moved 7 times and always have this problem). They spread so thin on the pan that I end up with flat, crisp oatmeal cookies with chips and raisins clumped in the middle. They fell apart terribly. After the first two pan fulls I added some more oatmeal to the dough. The next two pans were a little better but they got so brown on the bottom after 9 minutes. I guess I'll keep trying, I want a little more dough in my chips and raisins. I also think it may help to let the dough sit a while before baking them to allow the oatmeal to absorb some of the water. The dough on the first pan-full was watery which probably made them spread too fast.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2006
This was very, very good. I made it for my in-laws last night. They love cajun food so I was hoping for the best. I made it for 5 people so I used 2 large chicken breasts and a couple tenders plus a pound of medium shrimp. I cut the chicken into thin strips to cook faster. I did not double the peppers but I did double the green onion and seasonings. I kept adding Tony's cajun seasoning so I probably used way more than called-for. We love spicy food. I cooked the chicken, removed it from the pan, cooked the peppers a little longer than called-for cause I don't like them super crunchy. When they were almost the way I like them I threw in the shrimp. When the shrimp was almost done I put the chicken back in and then the cream. I heated it through then threw all that in the big pot with the drained pasta. I used 10 ounces of bowties. I used 1 cup heavy cream and another cup of half and half. It was a little runny but I tossed in a bunch of parmesan at the end which kind of thickened it up. Even after we all had seconds I ended up with some leftovers which is better than not enough. Next time I'm going to experiment with fat-free half and half and maybe not use so much or find some way to thicken it first. I served it with salad and french bread. The sauce was so good we all "sopped" it up with our bread! SUPER DELICIOUS!!

Pecan Snack

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2005
Oh my gosh, these are so good and so easy! I went with the advice of one reviewer and upped the sugar to 1 cup and the cinnamon to 1 tablespoon and they were fantastic. I can't stop eating them. These will make great gifts for teachers, kids' bus driver, mail person, etc.... Thanks!!!!

Broccoli Chicken Divan

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2005
This was very good after I made some changes based on other reviews. I steamed a 14 oz. bag of frozen broccoli florets instead of fresh. My chicken was well seasoned when I boiled it. I used the 98% FF soup. I added about 1/2+ cup sour cream, chicken boullion granules, salt, pepper, garlic powder. I put at least 1/2 cup cheese in the casserole itself then another 1/2 cup on top. I ended up just stirring the broccoli, chicken, cheese and soup mixture all up together before putting it in the dish. I used buttered Ritz crackers on top. It was yummy and still very easy and fast since I keep chopped, cooked chicken in the freezer all the time. I'll make it again!!
