Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009

Delicious! I, like other reviewers, only used 1 pkg of cream cheese, and slightly more sugar. Quick, easy and yummy- will make again.

Was this a quick and easy dinner solution to a hectic day? Yes. But did we like it? Not really. I used 2 cans of soup- 1 cheese/broccoli and 1 cream of mushroom, and used about 3/4 cup of milk instead of mayo. It was still on the dry side, so I can't imagine with only 1 can of soup, and I found it VERY salty. With 2 cans of soup, the stuffing mix, and cheese the saltiness is off the charts. We ate it 3 nights ago, but none of us have gone back for leftovers, and while I do supply my grandparents with meals during the week, I'm afraid the sodium count on this is way too high for their strict diets.

Mock Mincemeat Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2009

I'd never had mincemeat before. Made it as directed, with apples we had just picked. Had a lot of liquid, so along with the saltines, I stirred in some cornstarch I had dissolved in OJ. That kept the cut pieces from being too runny when we served it at room temperature. I had made a lattice-top. The taste was not orangey as I thought it would be considering the juice and zest, and I even added a tbs of grand mariner to the stovetop mixture. The taste of cloves was a bit overpowering for me, but my husband really enjoyed it. Would make it again with less cloves, and maybe add nutmeg and vanilla.

Christmas Breakfast Sausage Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009

Had a brunch yesterday and this was the first thing that went. Everyone loved it- two people asked me for the recipe. I didn't even get to taste it! Made it with 8 pieces of bread and 6 eggs, kept everything else the same. A big hit!

Basic Flaky Pie Crust

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2009

Very flaky as promised- but not a lot of flavor. Next time I might sub some butter for the all the shortening and maybe add sugar.

Lemon Berry Slushy

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009

This was a nice drink for a hot summer day. I agree with other reviewers that found it tart, though. Next time I'll cut down on the lemon juice. I also used the berries frozen instead of thawing them, therefore needing less ice.

Bandito Beans

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009

Pretty good. I used fresh green and wax beans, and frozen black-eyed peas instead of black beans. Followed the recipe the rest of the way- cooked on the stove in my dutch oven instead of a crockpot. Flavorful, sweet and savory, but the fennel was a bit much, next time I'll leave it out.

Pam's Bierocks

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009

I had never heard of Bierocks or Runzas before, but the recipe sounded good and I'm glad I tried them. These were so delicious! The dough is perfect- so soft and tasty- although I did have to add additional flour since it was quite sticky to work with at first. The recipe yielded 25 bierocks, which were gone in about 48 hours. I added some fresh thyme and parsley to the filling, but kept everything else the same. Will make these again and again. Thanks!

Buffalo Chicken Chili

Reviewed: May 30, 2009

This chili was excellent! I used 1 can of kidney beans and 1 can of refried beans, which thickened it up a bit. I also added a can of diced tomatoes in lieu of some of the sauce. Very good recipe.

Creamy Succotash with Bacon, Thyme and Chives

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2009

This was wonderful! I didn't have any cream, so I used evaporated milk and a pat of butter. It was so easy to make, and tasty and filling- even the kids cleaned their plates. Will be making again- thanks!

Grilled Chicken Salad with Seasonal Fruit

Reviewed: Apr. 15, 2009

Wow! This was really good. I used iceberg instead of bib lettuce, and added radishes because my 5 year old loves them. I only used 1/3 cup sugar and 3/4 cup oil for the dressing, and used fresh strawberries. Will definitely make again- everyone enjoyed it.

Pizza Dough III

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009

Wow! I've been using the Jay's Signature dough from this site for years and thought it was the best, but once I tried this one there's no going back! I gave it a shot this weekend with the chicken pesto pizza recipe from this site, baked it for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees and it was perfect- golden, chewy, not bready at all. Will use this recipe from now on- thanks!

Chicken Pesto Pizza

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009

This was a great meal! I rinsed the artichokes well and used slightly less pesto after reading other reviewers saying it came out too salty. I used Mozzarella cheese because that's what I had on hand, and I sprinkled parmesan on it before I baked it. Because some people said the chicken came out dry, I put it on the pizza before I sprinkled the cheese on, and it didn't dry out that way. Absolutely delish!

Italian Confetti Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2009

We really enjoyed this. Made as written, except used Balsamic Vinegar because that's what I had on hand. A warning to those who do this- it still tastes great, but gives the dressing a gray/brown hue, which isn't very attractive. But even my picky kids ate it so you know it was good!

Pear Honey

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008

I made this in my crockpot with Bartlet pears. I added only 4.5 cups of sugar and it was quite sweet. I added the sugar after the pears were broken down, and the final product ended up looking like a thin applesauce. It tasted very good, was easy enough, but I didn't find it honey-like at all, in taste or appearance.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2008

These were a huge hit with my kids! I made mini muffins out of them, frosted them with cream cheese frosting, and put some sprinkles on top. My kids couldn't get enough of them. I also used fresh pumpkin instead of canned. Will make again and again.

Anne's Homemade Chorizo

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2008

This tasted pretty close to Chorizo, kind of like a chorizo burger, but I think it needs some cumin. Still, it was very tasty.

Creamy Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2008

Loved it! I planted "Valenciano" a white pumpkin, in the spring, and it gave us the pumpkins we used for our Jack-O-Lanterns. Instead of just throwing out the flesh, I baked it and then whizzed it up in the blender to get the puree to make this pie. I only used 2 cups of pumpkin puree and it filled the 9" pie pan perfectly. My 1st attempt at a pie with from-scratch pumpkin and it was awesome.

Awesome Baked Sea Scallops

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2008

This was so simple, yet so good! I usually pan sear scallops, but I wanted something different. I squeezed lemon juice in with the melted butter, used scallions instead of shallots, baked for 11 minutes and they came out perfect. Thanks for a great recipe!

Cranberry Puffs

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2008

These were just okay. All I could taste was the jalapeno, the cranberries added color, but not much else. The sugar didn't make it sweet. I could've just mixed jalapenos with cheddar and cream cheese and left out the other ingredients. Wouldn't make them again.
