Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2011

Yum! First time cooking with quinoa. I couldn't really taste it, but I liked knowing i was cooking with healthy ingredients. I was rushed for time, so I made meatballs and cooked for 18-20 min. The sauce was great. My 22 month and husband liked it - and they are hard to please!

Alyson's Broccoli Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2011

I made this for a birthday party and it was so good! Based on other reviews, I made it with grapes instead of raisins. Definitely a keeper!

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2011

This is a good hearty casserole, easy to make and kid-friendly. I didn't have tomato sauce, so I had to use a can of diced tomatoes. I liked having the tomato chunks in there, but I think it would have been better with sauce (next time I'll do both). I also added a can of kidney beans. I especially like the sour cream flavor. Will make again!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Oatmeal Pancakes

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2011

Very good! I added a little more peanut butter, and then a little more flour to thicken up the batter, but otherwise made as directed. Since I was making for my 15 month old, instead of adding jelly, I added fresh blackberries to the batter. Very unique twist on pancakes - I'll definitely make again!

Banana Pancakes I

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2011

Just finished a batch - yum! I made exactly as directed, except added 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract and spme flaxseed. I followed the advice of another reviewer and mashed the banana in a baggie. I was able to get it really liquified, so the pancakes had an even banana flavor, and not big clumps of banana.

Blueberry Zucchini Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2010

I made this for my 1 year old, so I followed some of the other reviews to make it a little healthier. I substituted 1/2 of the oil for applesauce, and use 1/3 wheat flour. Also, I cut the recipe in half and it made 9 muffins (baked at 350 for 25 min). It was delicious and even my husband who said he wouldn't eat a "vegetable" muffin loved it!

Traditional Mashed Potatoes

Great simple mashed potatoes! I cut the potatoes fairly small (1 inch cubes) and cooked 20 minutes. Came out perfect!

Slow-Cooked German Short Ribs

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2009

This was great! I only used 1/2 of the brown sugar but otherwise made it as directed (and doubled the sauce). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the ribs were a tad dry. I cooked it 8 hours, but next time I'll try 7 hours. I served with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots - yum!

Slow Cooker Latin Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2009

This was very good and easy. I think it could use a little more flavor. Next time I'll experiment with more spices or a different salsa.

Rempel Family Meatloaf

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2009

I've tried several meatloaf recipes, and this one is a keeper. Instead of using a loaf pan, I just shaped it into a loaf and baked it on a slotted pan (so the grease could come out). The meatloaf didn't hold together too well, but maybe that's because of how I baked it. I used a glaze of 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp mustard powder, and a little nutmeg. I'll definitely make again!

Cream of Celery Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2008

I used an immersion blender to just puree the vegetables directly in the pot. Without keeping the vegetables in, it seems like it would just be celery-flavored milk! The flavor was good, but I prefer my creamy soups to be a little thicker. I will probably make again though.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2008

This was so good! I made some changes based on other reviews. I seasoned the roast with garlic powder, rosemary, and flour, and then seared in olive oil before putting it into the slow cooker. I used one can of cream of mushroom and one cream of celery. I replaced 1/2 cup of the water with red wine and added a few splashes of worstershire. I only used a 3-lb roast and cooked for 8 hours. It was so moist and tender. I will definitely make again!

Avocado and Tomato Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2008

Simple but great! I just used balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and also added a little cilantro since I was serving it with Mexican food. Will definitely make again!

Sarge's EZ Pulled Pork BBQ

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2008

Awesome and Easy Creamy Corn Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2008

This was super easy and tasted great. It was very moist and bread-y. I could use a little more corn though. Next time I'll probably add an additional small can of corn.

Cauliflower-Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2008

This was great! I just made it to get me through a cold night. The only modifications were to mash the vegetables a little before combining with the milk. I also doubled the cheese and served with fresh parsley. I'll definitely make again!

Amazing Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2008

Sorry, just didn't work for me! I followed the recipe exactly, and found it to be extremely dry. The flavor was okay, but a little bland. The pork was a gray/brown color which I also didn't think was very appetizing.

Pork and Green Chile Casserole

I dropped this at a friends house after she had a baby (and made some for myself too). We both loved it! I made it exactly as directed.

Chicken and Bacon Shish Kabobs

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2007

We've made this SO many times, especially for company becasue the presentation is so nice. I don't like mushrooms, so we substitute red peppers. It goes nicely with the other items.
