Terry's Texas Pinto Beans

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

I love these beans! I make them every couple weeks. I leave out the jalapeno because it's a little hot for my daughter.

Fluffy Whole Wheat Biscuits

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

They tasted ok, but mine weren't fluffy at all. I reverted back to my original biscuit recipe and just subbed half wheat flour and a tad more baking powder with good results.

I made these for my dad for Father's day as he is a big coconut fan and I'm running out of new things to make him. These had a great texture - delightfully chewy yet had a little crunch. After reading the reviews I reduced the flour to 2 cups. This makes a lot of cookies - about 7 dozen with my standard cookie scoop if I recall correctly, so you may want to halve the recipe.

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

This is a great, easy way to get dinner together with things you already have on hand. I've made them with and without the bell pepper and can't tell that much of a difference. I use fresh garlic instead of the powder. They won't replace my regular home-made sloppy joe recipe, but these are very good.

Gumbo Style Chicken Creole

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

I love this recipe. I followed it exactly as written. I enjoyed the addition of mushrooms since I'm not an okra fan. So easy and even better the next day. Served with brown rice and French bread.

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

This is a great basic recipe. You can use any veggie and cheese that you need to get out of your fridge. I like to use 2 cups of cheese and 4 eggs. I often omit the oil and cook the onion with a slice of chopped bacon. I've made variations of this for breakfast, lunch and dinner with great results every time.

Taco Seasoning

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2009

This is the only taco seasoning my family will eat now - it's a keeper! I prefer cooking fresh onion and garlic with the meat and omit the garlic powder and minced onion. I do add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to bring out the flavors a little, which is still a lot less sodium than the packets.

Slow-Cooked Swiss Steak

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2009

This recipe needs more flour. The sauce was very runny. I added some shredded carrot. Next time I will use 1/4 cup flour and add some basil, oregano, and garlic for more flavor. Meat was very tender and tasty, just needs a little sprucing up.

Soak the beans first. I used a mixer to achieve my desired consistency.

Black Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2009

I've made this twice now. I add a can of petite diced tomatoes and use brown rice. It's so-so to me, but my husband absolutely loves it.

Chuck's Favorite Mac and Cheese

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2009

The sour cream flavor was too strong, and there were still bits of cottage cheese after baking which were not very appealing (yes, I used small curd). The sauce was also a little thick and didn't coat the pasta well. I plan on using milk and ricotta next time to make the sauce. Good start to make my own recipe for oven mac-n-cheese.
