Slow Cooker Venison Stroganoff

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2009

Maybe because this was our first venison in years, but this didn't appeal to us.

This is THE BEST cornbread recipe. The only thing I did differently was follow another reviewer's suggestion and beat the mixture for 4 or 5 minutes with my hand mixer. I've made this twice in just over a week, and both times the hubby has raved about it. Thanks for a great recipe!

Easy Microwave Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009

Terrific. The chocolate craving hit, and this fit the bill perfectly. I followed others suggestions and made it a bit sweeter, then while it was warm, I glazed it with a mix of Hershey's chocolate syrup and powdered sugar - about 2 Tbsp. each. Yum. This is definitely a keeper.

Butter-Dipped Biscuit Squares

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009

I've made a form of this recipe for years. I'd forgotten about them, then rediscovered here. Love 'em. Yes, baking them in the butter is a lot of butter, but these are probably the easiest biscuits I've ever made. Addition: I used to enhance these with some garlic powder and Parmesan cheese on top just before baking.

Honey Cornbread

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2009

Hubby liked it much better than the box mix. He doesn't always comment on food, but this got his attention. He even had some for breakfast the next morning.

Beer Bread I

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2009

Great, easy recipe. I've tried 2 different beers - bud light and american ale. I think the lighter taste of bud light is more appealing to us, since my husband isn't a beer drinker. Overall, though a very good recipe.

The Best Chicken Fried Steak

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2009

Very good crust. I pounded the round steak very thin so it would cook quicker. Didn't use as much oil as called for, so I turned the meat one time. Maybe I didn't have enough meat, but I had way too much milk batter and flour left over. I sifted the leftover flour into the oil for the gravy. Since it was already somewhat seasoned, I used less seasoning in the actual gravy. Will make again.

Pancakes

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009

I'm giving this three stars because I made my own 'self-rising' flour. As far as taste and rise, they were only 1 star. The pancakes were flat. No rise at all. I ended up having to add about 1 1/2 tsp. more baking powder to get a decent lift.

Oil Pie Crust

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2008

I'm not thrilled with this recipe. I may try it again and see if I get better results. I measured everything exactly, and I couldn't get it to hold together. Tastes good, but doesn't look good.

Cherry Tomato Corn Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2008

Really liked this. I tweaked it a bit: I used lemon juice since I didn't have any lime. Added very finely diced vidalia-type onion, didn't have any cucumbers. This is definitely a keeper.

Just like the ones the cafeteria ladies make - only in manageable portions.

OREO® and Fudge Ice Cream Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008

TOO addicting. I'll flag this as special occasion, since between hubby and I we managed to finish this off in less than a week. This will be a permanent addition to my files. Thanks.

Fluffy Canadian Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008

Loved these! I'd forgotten about this technique (which I'd learned from a Canadian friend over 30 years ago). Added blueberries. It was a wonderful 'breakfast for dinner' meal.

Chili Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008

I'm not familiar with chili sauce, but the Baha Mama Chops recipe called for it, so I tried this recipe. It worked really well, and I'll make it again. I added some rice wine vinegar, and really liked the extra sweetness.

Bahama-Mama Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008

Very good! I had to make a slight change since I didn't have any pineapple. I used mandarin oranges instead, and added some extra rice wine vinegar. Also used the chili sauce recipe from this site. I doubled the sauce, as was suggested by other reviews, now I have enough pork and sauce left over to serve a second meal! That's always a good thing!

Basil Butter

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008

Love it! I'm always looking for ways to use my abundant basil, and this was wonderful. I used unsalted butter, then added salt to taste. Would have been great even without the salt.

Cherry Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2008

Great recipe! I did make a few small changes, but hubby and I both loved it. I made a half recipe in an 8 x 8 pan. I added about 2/3 of a can of the cherry pie filling. As I served it, I sprinkled powdered sugar over the top, and added another spoonful of the cherries. Yum. This recipe was easy to put together and will be a regular in our house.

Quick Gnocchi

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2008

Just got done with supper. Husband loved them. Made a couple of changes. I'm restricting my sodium, so I replaced the salt and pepper with Ms. Dash Garlic and Herb. After they boiled, I pan-fried them in a skillet with unsalted butter and garlic powder. The crispier they were, the better we liked them. A good basic recipe to expand on.
