Shepherd's Pie VI

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2011

4 stars because I agree with other users, as is it's too bland. I browned meat with onions, garlic, black pepper. Then added 1 1/2c beef stock & 1/2 c water, 1/4c Worcestershire, old fashioned gravy mix packet & frozen peas & carrots. Mixed together & put in 2.25qt casserole dish. 2nd layer was cheese slices so I didnt have to shred cheese. Tore up cheese slices & added to potatoes & topped dish with potato mix. Kids loved it!

Pumpkin Bread IV

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2011

Will make this again. Even after subbing applesauce for oil, this bread was still very moist. Made for potluck & 2 loaves were gone in no time. Very good & freezes well.

No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2011

These were good & not overly sweet. Made a double, 13x9 batch for a potluck. I reduced the butter as recommended by others. Used 1 1/2c unsalted butter, 2c brown sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, 6 c quick oats, 2c choc chips, & 1 1/2c PB. I put 2/3 of the oat mixture on the bottom, only 1/3 on top. Did not crumble much at all, think the secret is to cook the oat mix longer than 2-3 min, allowing the oats to soften more & stick together. Will make again as they were a huge hit at potluck, came home with empty pan.

Four Cheese Macaroni

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2010

This was so good! I used milk because I didn't have half & half. I didn't use vegetable oil or drizzle mac & cheese with a tablespoon of butter. I added 1/4 tsp minced garlic & 1/2 tsp minced onion. I didn't have sharp cheddar so I used medium cheddar. I combined all the cheese, milk, eggs, & spices in the baking dish. Then stirred in the cooked noodles & baked for 1/2 hr. Will definitely make again & would serve this dish to company, however double the recipe because my family ate the whole thing!

Best Chicken Salad Ever I

Reviewed: May 31, 2010

Excellent! Kids love this salad. Served on whole wheat bread. Used a lil honey instead of relish. Didn't have nuts but is just as good without. Will definitely make again. Great way to use up apples or leftover chicken.

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Reviewed: May 1, 2010

This is a nice moist bread but I think it lacks the banana flavor. I cut the recipe in half because I didnt need to make 4 loaves. Instead I made 1 loaf of bread & 6 muffins (bake for just 30 min). It's good, but not for us. I have a fave banana recipe that uses 3 bananas for just one loaf.

Reviewed: May 1, 2010

Made this for 6 toddlers & they ate it all! Kids absolutely loved it & I will definitely make again. Only changes I made was seasoning. I added some minced onion, minced garlic, basil, oregano, & black pepper. Next time I will have to double the recipe so there is enough for the adults. :)
