Barbecued Round Steak

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2008

Really great taste. And a great way to use round steak that doesn't involve cream of something soup. We agree that this sauce would be great with other meats as well

These are so great! I didn't add any extract and I think they are minty enough as is. I melted my butter and sugar in the microwave for about 2 minutes then stirred in my chocolate chips. I used a melon baller to make sure all my balls stayed the same size...and I got 81 cookies. Totally delicious!!!

Spritz Cookies II

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2007

Good flavor, but I had a really hard time getting this recipe to work with my press. I add to add more butter because my dough was so dry. Then again it was a warm dry day here in CO so who knows? That's the frustrating thing about spritz cookies. I swear they only really work well about 75% of the time.

Chicken Pot Pie II

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2007

I love that the filling has no "cream of" something soup. I usually had more chicken and veggies and make 2 pies for my family. And I use whatever veggies I have on hand at the time. It's a big hit here. I poach my chicken breasts in a pot of water with onion and celery and garlic and pepper corns and bay leaves...whatever sounds good at the time. Then I strain that liquid and use it as my chicken broth later, too.

Cranberry Streusel Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2007

I did add about half of a large fuji apple to this. I really loved the flavor and texture of the cranberry mix. I think next time I will add oats to the topping to make it more crunchy. But my kids, husband and I loved the flavor. Perfect for the holidays!

German Red Cabbage

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2007

I love this recipe!!! The cabbage is just amazing. I have been eating it for lunch and snacks for a couple of days. It's so good! It's also pretty tasty cold, too!

Asian Asparagus Salad with Pecans

Reviewed: May 17, 2007

Different way to eat asparagus. I only did this one pound of asparagus, but made the full amount of marinade. I also used sesame oil instead of vegetable oil.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies I

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2007

These are good...not as cakey as some others I've made before. I used white chocolate chips...and while I don't like them as well, they are disappearing around here and were a hit at a party last night.

Russian Cabbage Borscht

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2007

Loved this borscht! Used all organic produce from our CSA farm share. This was a great way to use our potatoes, beets, carrots and cabbage. I didn't have caraway so I substituted hungarian paprika. And I used 4 cups turkey stock for the initial cooking of the beets and potatoes. I left out the honey since my beets were already sweet, but I did add the vinegar because I like tang with my beets. Topped with sour cream...very yummy!

Vanilla - Chocolate Powdered Sugar Frosting

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2007

My 10 yo daughter picked out this recipe and it's a keeper! We didn't need very much frosting, so we used 1 c powdered sugar, 3/4 stick of butter, 2 T cocoa powder and 1 tsp vanilla, then added enough milk to make it creamy. Whipped it well with the kitchen aid. Yum! Very rich, not too sweet, very chocolaty.

Garlic Prime Rib

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2006

Used the techique listed here...but rubbed with a mixture of dijon mustard and minced garlic. I started the oven at 485 for 20 minutes. Then I lowered it to 325 while my sides cooked in there as well. I used my counter top meat thiermometer to gauge when it was done so I'm not sure of the time. Amazing flavor!!! Definitely a keeper!!!

Asian Lettuce Wraps

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2006

I used ground pork and fresh grated ginger. This was really yummy and a nice light dinner. We didn't use any extra sauce. We thought they were saucy enough.

Mexican Zucchini Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2006

I added a pound of ground beef at the beginning. And I used 3 roasted green chiles from my freezer. This was really good. My 2 yo loved it, but the other kids weren't as sure. They don't like any cheese soups, though.

St. Patrick's Day Zucchini-Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 29, 2006

nice way to use up extra zucchini. I didn't have granola so I doubled the oatmeal. I also used some ww flour (because I ran out of white flour!) I used 1 cup of choc chips and 1 cup butterscotch chips for a double batch. Maybe they need some nuts?

Spiced Beef Stew

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2006

I double this for my brood and make a few changes. I use 3 lbs. of diced potates, 2 lbs. of diced carrots and 4 small parsnips also diced after the meat has cooked for an hour and a half. I then let the veggies cook for another hour and a half. I also use a full bottle of beer, 2 cups beef broth, and double the thyme. It's a keeper at my house!
