Parmesan Sage Pork Chops

Reviewed: May 8, 2011

Thank you for such a great recipe! My husband and I both enjoyed it. I usually never make changes when I make a recipe for the first time. However, my lemons went soft so I had to improvise. I added some lemon juice in the egg wash. I prepared the chops as directed. After browning them, I added a couple cups of water to the frying pan and simply simmered them for the rest of the cooking time instead of baking in the oven. I find chops come out too dry in the oven since it's important to cook pork throughly . Simmering (covered) stove top keeps the juice and flavor in. The chops came out wonderful and could be cut with a fork. I loved the hint of sage. Next time I'll make sure I have good fresh lemons as I'm sure that makes a difference as a reviewer said before. I may also try simmering in apple juice as I usually do with pork chops, but didn't this time so as to not take away from the flavor of the sage and lemon. Not sure how that would turn out.

Perfect Apple Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2010

I've made this pie for more years then I can say. It's requested of me at every outting. The flavor can't be beat. On top of this, I've used the Pillsbury pie crust ever since it was put on the market. Why go to all the trouble when this is just as good as homemade. I do tweek the recipe a bit and I know you'll find wonderful results with this. I put dabbs of butter on top of the apples before layering the top crust. Once the top crust is in place and crimped, I brush the top with egg yolk. You can either sprinkle with colored sugar or leave alone. The color of your pie will be a beautiful golden color. It doesn't change the flavor, but it sure enhances the appearance. Your pie will be the most beautiful around.

Scalloped Potatoes and Onions

Reviewed: May 5, 2010

Wonderful potato recipe. I've made it twice now and my family loves it. I did not change a single thing. I gave this recipe to my daughter who was so happy to find that neither sour cream nor milk was needed. The chicken broth brought such good flavor to the potatoes. I made Scalloped Potatoes for many years when my children were growing up, but it never went over as well as this recipe. Please try it first before changing any ingredients. You'll be glad you did!

Chicken Marsala

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2009

Wonderful flavor! One of the best chicken dinners I've ever made and I've made many through the years. My husband asks for this almost every week. He says this tops the best Chicken Marsala he's ever had in any 5 star restaurant. I did add much more Marsala wine then called for since I didn't have cooking sherry but it still came out great. Thanks for a wonderful recipe Lisa!

Black Magic Cake

Reviewed: May 8, 2009

My daughter and I have been baking this cake for many years. The recipe was found on the back of the cocoa can. My daughter won first place in her Girl Scout bakeoff with this cake about twenty five years ago. We always use the buttercream frosting from the Wilton cook book using shortening and butter flavor rather then stick butter. This cake is so very moist and rich. The strong coffee is a must. I'm happy to see so many others enjoy it as well.

Golden Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009

Very good recipe. Thanks Hallie. I actually simmered the pork chops in my cast iron pan using all the ingredients listed in the recipe. However I did change the soup as I only had one can of cream of mushroom. I also used one can of cream of celery. Most cream soups blend well with flavor. I covered the frying pan and simmered for about an hour. I served the chops and sauce over pasta springs and peas. My family loved how tender and tasty the chops were. Thanks again Hallie. Your recipe is a hit in our house!

Debdoozie's Blue Ribbon Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009

I absolutely love this recipe. You can easily control the spiciness by simply using mild, medium or hot salsa. I made it on a cold snowy night and my family loved it. The leftovers are even better. I didn't change a thing as I believe in trying a recipe first as the writer intended in order to leave an honest review. Thanks for this recipe.

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009

Best Pulled Pork recipe ever! I took the advise of others and used a pork sholder rather then tenderloin and was very happy with the results. I also used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and was happy with it. I didn't change a thing. I believe in trying a recipe just as the writer intended in order to write a true review. This didn't disappoint. This recipe will be a great addition to family and office functions. Thanks for the recipe! I recommend it highly.

Monkey Bread V

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2008

Excellent recipe! Quick, fun and super easy to put together. Great to do with children and grandchildren. However, do not over bake. My last batch turned out hard and dry but that was my fought for leaving it in the oven too long. As some other reviewers, I too used brown sugar rather then white. Great way to warm up the house with yummy aromas on a cold winter's night.

Farmhouse Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2007

Fantastic recipe Alice! Made it just as you listed. Next time I'll add peas but I'm not changing anything else. My husband who is always leery of trying new recipes, actually went for seconds! This is already filed in my recipe box. Very quick and easy and great to whip up after work. Thank you so much for sharing.

Layered Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2007

Best salad I ever had! Wonderful for showers. For a baby shower, we added some raisins, grapes and maddarin orange slices. You wouldn't believe how nice they went with ranch dressing. In the fall it's nice to sprinkle whole fresh cranberries. For this salad, you can go wild with your imagination. Thank you for sharing. You gave a beautiful presentation.

Pineapple Stuffing

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2007

Wonderful recipe! I've made this for years. I just tripled the recipe for my daughter's wedding shower and received many compliments and requests for the recipe. Before baking, I sprinkle a little cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg on top. After baking, I arrange some maraschino cherries on top for appearance. This is a big hit at all functions and extremely easy to make.

Baked Ziti I

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2006

Wonderful recipe! My family enjoyed it so much that I'll make it every time. I threw in some meatballs rather then meatsauce but still great. The only problem with this recipe is that it's so good that you tend to eat way too much! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
