I have tried several different alfredo sauce recipes and I also found that parmesan cheese doesn't melt very well...my sauce always seemed to come out grainy...I took your and some other readers' advice about using Gruyere cheese...I shredded it fresh...and I have never gotten a sauce as smooth and creamy! I also added an egg yolk and used garlic salt instead of fresh garlic, and also added some black pepper (based on some other alfredo recipes I've seen). The sauce was perfect!!!! Thanks for the suggestion on the Gruyere cheese! It's definitely the way to go!!!!

Tomato-Cream Sauce for Pasta

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009

I tried this recipe on a whim because I wanted something fresh that wouldn't take too long to cook...this came out great for me! I pretty much did exactly what the recipe said and pureed the tomatoes before adding the cream, based on other reviews. The flavors were perfect together, and it wasn't a heavy meal, which is what I was looking for. I will def add some sausage or chicken the next time I make it!

Truck-Stop Buttermilk Pancakes

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2009

This is the best pancake recipe I've used so far...the pancakes come out nice and fluffy...pancakes I've made from other recipes seem to come out too "cakey"...these pancakes pretty much melt in your mouth...I added a little bit more sugar and a little vanilla as my own modifications...that way I wouldn't have to have so much syrup on top...great recipe!!!!

Easy Lasagna I

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2009

Great recipe! I've tried this recipe twice...the first time I did it, it came out beautifully - so much so that my boyfriend ran away with half the pan...LOL (note: I didn't use mushrooms because I'm just not a fan). The second time I made it, I left out the mushrooms and the cottage cheese (based on another review I saw)...I didn't realize how much of a difference the cottage cheese would make, but it did...now I know how to tweak the recipe so that it will come out perfect everytime...don't disciminate against the cottage cheese!!! Thanks for such a good recipe!

I have made this recipe (with my own additions) several times and it turns out great everytime...but I would like to know if anyone has tried this recipe without meat. I have to make two pans for a brunch this weekend and to cater to everyone, I would like to make one with meat and one without.THANKS!!!

Pico De Gallo

I took the advice of the other reviewers and added fresh lime juice to this recipe and it turned out fabulously!!!! A great starting point for a great recipe (which is why I gave it 3 stars)!
