Irresistible Irish Soda Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2006
This made a DELICIOUS bread! I followed the recipe exactly, and even let it sit overnight. It made a great toast to go with eggs over easy the next morning, and my 2 year old daughter kept grabbing pieces to eat with peanut butter. Will definitely make again!

Pork Chops with Scalloped Potatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2006
These were okay. Not as much flavor as I had expected. I used the leftover potatoes and onions to make fried potatoes for breakfast the next day, though, and those were delicious! Everyone ate their dinner, but all except me smothered it with ketchup.

Mom's Ginger Snaps

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2006
I baked up a batch of these to help combat pregnancy nausea, and EVERYONE loved them! I believe I doubled the spices, because I like them with a bit more bite. I gave a dozen to my neighbor (who is undergoing chemotherapy) and she thought they were wonderful as well. I'm probably going to bake another batch today.

Grandma's Chicken Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2006
I made this for dinner on a cold, snowy, stormy day. It really hit the spot! I doubled the recipe, used grilled chicken breast, and replaced the celery with a can of sliced carrots. It went great with the crusty potato bread on this site! Very warm and filling. Fantastic comfort food!

Crusty Potato Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2006
I made a loaf of this bread to go with some homemade chicken noodle soup. I used the bread machine on the dough setting, and baked it in the oven. It worked out wonderfully! Makes a nice crusty loaf with great texture and flavor! Went perfectly with a big bowl of hot soup on a nasty snowy stormy day!

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2006
I doubled the recipe, otherwise followed it to the letter. It was WONDERFUL! I served the sauce over seashell pasta for the kids, and for me I poured it over some imitation crablegs. YUM! I used the neufchatel cheese and skim milk, and it still turned out great! Thank you!

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2006
Glad to see so many people like this! I use the sauce combo frequently now. A note to people who said it was runny - that may have to do with the italian dressing you're using. I always use a thicker dressing. Some of the oily dressings might cause the sauce to thin out. My favorite is Kraft Light done Right! Italian dressing.

Potato Salmon Patties

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2005
These are wonderful! I had a can of salmon and was trying to find something to do with them - this fit the bill. I had no potato flakes, so I baked a potato in the microwave, peeled it, and smooshed it. It worked out well. I cooked these 3 different ways. The first few, I coated in plain bread crumbs, and pan-fried them with olive oil spray. The second batch I coated in breadcrumbs and cooked for 7 minutes on my Foreman-type grill. The last batch I left plain and cooked in oil. The ones on the indoor grill came out the best - they were extremely flavorful, none of that oily fried taste. When I make these again, I will definitely cook them on the grill. I served these with the lemon sauce for salmon patties another reviewer mentioned - Delicious!

Lemon Sauce for Salmon Patties

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2005
I just made this to go with some salmon patties - yum! No cayenne pepper, so I put in a dash of chili powder. It worked out really well. The lemon turned out to be perfect. I'll prob ably make salmon patties more often now that I have a lighter "topping" to go with it.

The Original Treats™

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2005
Absolutely yummy. Used a bag of the flavored mini-marshmallows instead, because that's what we had. After they were done, I frosted them to use for my daughter's birthday. It was too hot to bake a cake - used the microwave recipe. Worked out wonderfully! If you attempt to frost, I recommend a THIN layer of frosting, or they are way too sweet.

White Cheese Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2005
Made these late one night, had to use a colby-jack mix of cheese because we couldn't find any plain monteray jack cheese (can't argue when you're shopping at midnight). Still came out great. Only downfall was the chilis - didn't do much for it. Going to add diced jalepenos next time to give it more bite. Served over Chicken Chimis in the Oven from this site. Delicious!

Chicken Chimi in the Oven

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2005
Made these at 1am because I was craving something like this - only change I made was to mix the beans and chicken stuff together in the pan before filling the chimis. We just like it better mixed up than separate in the food. Absolutely LOVED them. Smothered them with the White Cheese Sauce on this site. YUM!

Dutch Babies II

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2004
Take out the nutmeg and this recipe is IDENTICAL to the "Puffy Oven Pancake" recipe in the Betty Crocker cookbook - every last measurement is the same. That aside, I love these! My favorite way to make this is to peel and slice an apple, and spread the slices out on the bottom of the pan (I use a 9" pyrex pie pan, melt the butter in it in the oven). Sprinkle the apple slices with a little cinnamon and nutmeg, then pour in the batter. After it's done baking, flip it out on a plate and serve. YUM! Oh, sidenote - bake it more like 1/2 hour at 400 and it won't be so custard-y, more like a cross between eggs and a pancake.

Hawaiian Bread I

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2004
I made this on a whim for Thanksgiving dinner with my family, just for a change of pace. I followed the substitutions of vanilla for coconut extract, and the flour/milk for the potato flakes (which is coincidentally the comment posted in the cookbook, which I have, but didn't use this time). It was a surprise hit with everyone! I used the bread machine through the dough stage, then put it in a loaf pan in the oven at 350 until it was lightly browned. I'd like to try it with the potato flakes - my dough was really sticky and goopy, I worked a bunch of extra flour into it. I think the potato would take care of that.

J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2004
I've made these twice in two days. Everyone loves them, and my husband says they taste like KFC biscuits. Went great with a pot roast yesterday, and worked out well in a pinch when I realized we were out of bread today - served them with some veggie-tomato soup. Great for dunking in soups! It's my new "official" biscuit recipe! The only change I made was to use light brown sugar instead of white (I was somehow out).

Slow Cooker Beef Stew IV

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2004
I prepped everything the night before, put the insert in the fridge overnight, and just put it in the base and started it the next morning. It smelled delicious all day. My husband got to serve it to the family while I was at school. He LOVED it. I had some the next day - it was still fabulous! I used cubed sirloin, and the meat was amazingly tender. We didn't feel the need to thicken it up, sopped up juices with dinner rolls. I'll make this again!

Bread Machine Challah I

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2004
I baked this to use for french toast this morning. It was WONDERFUL! I just used the bread machine on the dough setting, Then did as another reviewer suggested and finished with the directions from Challah II. I just made a second loaf. This time I subbed one cup of the bread flour with white whole wheat flour. Still came out GREAT. Same sweet yummy taste, and a bit heartier. I'll make this often!

Italian Style Pork Chops

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2004
I made this as listed, only differences were: I used sliced tenderloin instead of chops, and I added a little milk to the butter. I did realize that once the butter started re-solidifying, it made the pork more sticky and the breading stuck better. I had double the pork, and used the amount of breading in the recipe, and it was just enough. These came out pretty good. I'll have to try this with chicken breasts. I sent some to work with my husband today, and will update with his opinion once he tells me how he liked it. I had two last night, and they reminded me of the breaded pork tenderloin I used to get in Iowa. I think the way I made them, they'll make a good sandwich, too.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2004
Holy cow, this was fantastic! I made a slight change - I was feeding quite the horde (6 children and 3 adults) so I used 1 1/2lbs 93% lean beef and a 1lb roll of maple sausage. I put in a bunch of onion powder instead of onions (my kids hate onions, and can even detect cooked onions in food), otherwise I followed the recipe exactly, just adjusting quantities to make 1 1/2 recipes. My friend's kids all cleaned their plates and had seconds, and her daughters never eat all their food. Even my friend ate a big piece, and we usually have to fight to get her to eat much of anything. My husband was upset there wasn't more of it! So this was an all around hit with children and adults. I did make sure to let it sit for a few minutes after I took it out of the oven, then turned the loaves out on a platter so the glaze ended up on top and dripped down the sides. My friend was even dipping her tator tots in the ketchup/brown sugar glaze on the platter. I'll have to make this frequently!

Ground Beef Shepherd's Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2004
Very Yummy! I made this according to the recipe. Only change - added a can of peas (drained) and used a bag of tator tots instead of mashed potatoes. My husband was skeptical at first, but ate almost half the pan!
