Easy Lemon-Blueberry Jam

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2009
made this for Christmas gifts for friends. It was very good, my daughter eats it on her bagel every morning! I did cut way back on the sugar, I don't even think you could tell. I also used my immersian blender to make the jam smoother. The only slightly negative thing I can say is that after a few days, the consistency was sorta different. I was nervous my friends would be turned off by that. But I told everyone that this is not officially "canned" jam and the jello is the thickener so it acts more like jello, but tastes wonderful!

Blue Ribbon Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2009
nice cookie, I did cut down quite a bit on the lemon extract as I was looking for more of a vanilla flavor. I'm not even sure I would use the lemon at all next time.

Sugar Cookie Glaze

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2009
nice glaze, easy to alter to your desired consistency. I always add a pinch of salt to this type of frosting to cut down on the incredible sweetness a little.

Cousin David's Slow Cooker Brisket

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2009
wonderful recipe and easier then anything, made the house smell great all day long. I added a little water to thin the chili sauce, I was worried about too much tang. I also added about a capful of liquid smoke. I will for sure make this again. Maybe even try this sauce on chicken or pork!

Easy Turkey Gravy

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
Very good gravy with not a lot of work, no messy pan drippings. It makes an awful lot though so in the future I will cut in half.

Cherry Fluff

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009
Wonderful! Similar to a cranberry salad my mom makes but less work and not as tart. Very refreshing and surprisingly not too sweet! Will for sure make again.

Balsamic Roasted Red Potatoes

Reviewed: May 29, 2009
delish - I par boiled mine until almost done - then mixed with the other ingredients and tossed in the oven. Super easy, super good.

Foil-Pack Taco Chicken Dinner

Reviewed: May 10, 2009
Good, simple and tasty. Alleviated the undercooked potato problem by using shredded hash browns instead.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2009
Very good and forgiving recipe! I did not have all the butter or the full amount of bananas so I thew in some plain yogurt to compensate, plus I added the cinnamon which adds a nice warmth.

Easy Apple Crisp

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009
I use canned apple pie filling for this and also add two packs of instant cinnamon oatmeal on top for added crispness. It's a good, easy dessert to whip up. Warning though - it is VERY sweet.

Amazing Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2009
This was pretty good. I left out the soy sauce, just seemed like a strange ingredient to me. I also browned the meat on all sides before placing in the slow cooker - this adds a nice color to the meat instead of the typical pale slow cooker color. Per suggestion I rubbed the garlic, salt and pepper all over the top - also added rosemary - then left it alone all day. Smelled great, not overly dry and good flavor.

Playgroup Granola Bars

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2008
The beauty of this recipe is the ability to alter to your liking. So I cut the oats to 1 1/2 cups and added 1 1/2 cups of Organic Flax Seed Pumpkin Cereal (no reason, just saw it in the store and though it would be a good addition) so then I omitted the wheat germ and also the salt. Kept all the wet ingredients the same plus added 1/2 c each of golden raisins, coconut, chocolate chips and finely chopped slivered almonds. When I thought they were done baking, I cut them in the pan before they cooled but could tell they would crumble so I scored them and put them back in the oven to continue baking - sorta like with biscotti. I placed the bars on a baking rack to continue cooling. These were delicious, I know I will be making them often!

Skillet Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onion

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008
Very good and easy skillet meal. I don't normally like pork chops but the parmesan cheese adds a nice flavor I think. Maybe a bit salty - so I'd try to cut down on that next time.

Easy Lemon Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008
Very easy and pretty good. Not as "lemoney" as I might have liked so next time I'd add lemon zest or more lemon extract.

Easy Rum Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008
VERY good cake. I used Captain Morgan rum only because that's all I had on hand. I also used rum extract in the glaze so the kids could eat the cake - a little goes a long way with rum extract. I made this cake for Thanksgiving and will make one tomorrow for Christmas. Delish in the morning with coffee too!

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008
Good cookie - I did notice the odd after taste though. Probably the cream of tartar? I don't think anyone else really noticed, at least no one said anything. I would probably make them again but reduce the cream of tartar.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2008
Very good cookie, but mine turned out thin and crispy not fat and chewy and I followed the recipe to a "T" Not that I minded thin and crispy - but I was expecting a thicker soft cookie. They were good though - it was a delicate, buttery crispness - not hard and crunchy. I would make these again.

Satiny Chocolate Glaze

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2008
Good glaze, perfect on the "too much chocolate cake". Make sure to drizzle all down the sides of the cake, don't rely on the frosting dripping down as it dries very fast and will not make it all the way to the plate!

Rainbow Pasta Salad II

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2008
Followed exactly but used plane rotini not tri colored. It's amazing that such a basic salad with so few ingredients got such rave reviews from my family! Perfect with grilled meat on a hot summer evening!

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2008
Nice cake - but based on reviews I thought it would be way more chocolatey and moist. It was good though.
