I picked this recipe because it incorporated what I had on hand and seemed like it would be pretty quick and easy to make. I added 1/2 a pound of bacon per another user's suggestion, and used a lot less onion as my onion was very strong and I didn't want it to overpower. I also added some red pepper flakes, some cajun spices, and salt and pepper. Turned out great, especially for being a last minute recipe and using what I had on hand. I'll make it again! :)

I halved this recipe since it was my first time making it. I put the milk in the pan straight from the fridge and so it took a long time to heat up and it scorched - I'll let it reach room temperature first next time. I added the juice of half a lemon and nothing happened. So I added the other half and voila! The curds seperated from the whey so quickly I didn't need to wait 10 minutes! The cheese came out beautifully! However, it is rather bland, with only the slightest taste of lemon. Next time I will add herbs and spices (I'm thinking sun dried tomatoes and basil or hot peppers would be wonderful). I used the cheese to attempt a grilled cheese sandwich. Unfortunately, the cheese didn't melt well at all and I was rather disappointed. I'll try using it in other recipes to see how versatile it is.

I marinated this for about 20 hours. The color is beautiful if you use the food coloring. I was rather disappointed with the flavor though! I thought with all the spices and letting it sit for so long it would have a lot more flavor. I served this with cholay and Basmati rice. I doubt I'll make it again.

This is a great base, but I added to it to suit my own tastes because on its own it's kind of bland. I added garlic to the onion, and added a pinch of red pepper flakes, dried coriander, dried basil, and dried thyme. I also added about half a cup of frozen spinach, as it needed to be used and it's also how I sneak veggies into our diet. Once it was all cooked I let it cool a bit and threw it in the blender. The only downside to adding the spinach is the color is a bit off and looks a tad unappetizing, but was still tasty nonetheless! I'll keep playing with it! :)

Prepared this according to instructions, with the exception of using dried chives for parsley, using olive oil instead of butter, and using half a medium onion. Threw them on the grill, and one packet was cooked whereas the other one wasn't (my boyfriend uses a charcoal grill, so not enough heat was most likely the issue). I popped that one in the oven. I sampled the mayonnaise mixture before adding it to the potatoes and found it had quite a bit of zing so I was rather disappointed when there wasn't a lot of flavor to the finished product. I liked this recipe because of its simplicity and the fact that I had almost all of the ingredients on hand. I might try it again, adding more cheese and spices as others have suggested, as well as some salt. If that doesn't turn out well, I'll find another recipe.

I followed another user's advice to add more spices. I reduced the sugar by half, added garlic powder and dried basil. The dough was rather wet and a pain to deal with. After ten minutes of baking, I sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and broiled until lightly browned. The butter and cheese together was heavenly! However, the biscuits themselves were rather bland, even with my addition of spices. I didn't particularly care for them, but my boyfriend loved them, so we settled on a score of four stars. They were more of a pain to make than they were worth, so I'm hoping my boyfriend forgets about them and doesn't ask me to make them again, lol.

Made these earlier today for breakfast. They turned out great! Next time I will double or maybe triple the recipe to make extras to freeze.

I had a craving for Tom Ka Gai, which was strange considering I don't care for it too much. Anyway, I made this as directed but added sugar snap peas to give it some color and crunch. If I had mushrooms I would have added those as well, as others suggested. I also made basmati rice to go with it. Only problem with this recipe is that I only wanted one bowl of it, and didn't know what to do with the rest! I ate it though! :) It came out just like the soup at my favorite Thai restaurant! :D

I made some major modifications to this recipe. First, I didn't have white cake mix so I used butter. Secondly, I took the advice of others and used 1/2 C milk and 2 eggs. And last, I didn't have any chips whatsoever in the house so I used 3/4 C peanut butter (nuked it in the microwave for about 40 seconds to make it easier to mix in). It was still hard to pour into the pan. I snuck a bit of batter and was surprised that it tasted almost like a Do-Si-Dos! It came out more like cake than a brownie, so in that sense I was dissapointed but it was still so good and within a little over 24 hours my boyfriend and I ate them all! Next time I'll try the actual recipe but I might swap butterscotch chips for peanut butter chips since I don't care for butterscotch.

I made these after my boyfriend requested I make meatballs, with a few modifications. I cooked the meatballs in the oven for about 10 minutes so they wouldn't crumble. I added 1/4 C parmesean cheese to the meatballs. I used half the onion (super finely grated) in the meatballs and half in the sauce. I used a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes, as I didn't have a can of pureed tomatoes. I added a clove of garlic to the sauce, as well as some dried basil and powdered garlic, and snuck some super finely grated carrots in there too (gotta sneak veggies into my boyfriend's diet somehow, lol). I made some homemade grinder rolls to go with the meatballs, so my boyfriend and I enjoyed meatball grinders topped with mozzarella for dinner. He said the meatballs were awesome, but requested that I make them without the onions next time (got away with the carrots! yes!).

I made this as suggested, except I omitted the bell peppers as I don't care for them. I added about half a cup of frozen corn. It was very good, although very spicy, which meant my boyfriend wouldn't eat it - so I made another batch for him, omitting the spices and bell peppers, and as I had run out of chicken, I crumbled a hamburger patty into his. All in all, a great way to use up leftovers, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it.

I made this recipe as specified with a few exceptions. As other users suggested, I omitted the eggs, doubled the cheese, and upped the amount of half and half to two cups. Oh, and I used shells instead of macaroni. Also, I couldn't find plain Monterey Jack, so I used Colby Monterey Jack. I didn't follow the directions either - I mixed the half and half, butter, and cheeses until it was all melted. Added the sauce to the cooked pasta. I was skeptical as to how it would turn out because at this point it looked extremely soupy, but decided to give it a shot since I figured the sauce would reduce while baking. Baked for 17 minutes, stirred, baked for another 17. Now for the big moment: disappointment!!! For some reason, it came out gritty. Not a hard grit, but a soft grit. Also, there was grease pooled at the top. The flavor was alright. I could really taste Muenster cheese, and I didn't quite enjoy the tang. The soupiness went away for the most part. My boyfriend loved it, other than the gritty texture. I don't know if I'll make it again. I might attempt again to see if I can avoid the grittiness.

I made this recipe as directed with the following exceptions: I used a 6 pound chicken and I had no onion powder or dried thyme. I let the chicken marinate overnight. Popped it in the oven, and let it do its thing. I think I overcooked the chicken a bit, but it wasn't too dry. My boyfriend loved it and raved about how great the chicken was to anyone who would listen. It was good, but I think next time I can do better. Will attempt again!

I made these to go along with the Roast Sticky Chicken Rotiesserie Style, also found on this site. My boyfriend thought they were great. I however, wasn't that impressed. Then again, I'm used to mom's mashed potatoes, and nothing will ever compare to that. :D So, four stars because my boyfriend loved them, but only four stars because nothing can compare to mom's.

The closest you will get to store bought white bread! I love this recipe, and was so happy to find it on this website as the majority of bread recipes require a bread machine, which I don't have. Plus there's a certain satisfaction that comes with doing all the hard work yourself instead of letting a machine do it. Anyway, this bread is wonderful! It makes two delicious loaves, one of which doesn't make it to the end of the day. It's a tad hard to cut, but if you let it sit overnight or pop it in the fridge to let it cool, it's easier to cut into slices. This is now my ONLY recipe for bread!

I wasn't impressed by these cookies. They didn't have a lot of cinnamon flavor for me, which was what I was hoping for. And I was hoping for a soft cookie, and they were soft straight out of the oven but upon cooling became hard. They weren't good, but they weren't bad either. I won't make them again.

I made this on a whim because I had the ingredients on hand and was craving some chocolate. I cut the recipe in half, because if there's that much chocolate cake lying around I'm going to eat it! I made the cake as directed, adding 1/4 C semi sweet chocolate chips and covered it with a chocolate cream cheese frosting (took a container of cream cheese frosting and added 1/4 C cocoa, whipped until fluffy). My boyfriend thought it was alright, but not chocolatey enough for him. Although I agreed with him, that it's not very chocolately, that's not necessarily a bad thing. My big complaint was that it was kind of dry; I prefer a moist cake. All in all, pretty good and I would make it again but I'd try to find a way to make it less dry.

I made this recipe as directed, but added four cooked cubed potatoes and a can of diced tomatoes, just to give it something extra and make it stretch further. I left out the chickpea juice and added chicken broth instead. I made it at night and intended to make rice the next day to go along with it, but it was so good I never got around to making the rice! It tastes better the next day when the flavors have had a chance to blend. Will make again and again, and will try to make the rice at the same time!

I made the recipe as suggested, however used regular milk in place of soy milk. I also added some cinnamon and cumin to give it more flavor since other readers said it was kind of bland. It tasted horrible!!! I was so tempted to throw it out but decided to wait. Put it in the fridge overnight and the next day it tasted much better! I wasn't a big fan of the shredded coconut; it made the dish too sweet, and I think next time I will either reduce the amount or omit it entirely.

This recipe is awesome! I've made it about five or six times now, and they never last more than 3 days. I also use the cocoa/oil substitute. A few varations: Pour half of batter in pan, sprinkle chopped up Reese's peanut butter cups, then pour the rest of the batter over the cups, spreading so that the cups are covered. Bake as directed - delicious! I also tried it with chopped Snickers, and it came out alright, but not as good as the Reese's. Also, make sure you foil and grease the pan - I made the mistake the first time of foiling but not greasing - what a mess! This one is definitely a keeper!
