Pecan Pie Bars I

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2008
These were very good and easy to make. I used a 9x13 pan and changed the recipe to 24 servings. I did not have a problem with the bars sticking at all. I love chocolate bourbon pecan pie, but wanted to have it in smaller portions. I added 1/4 cup bourbon and 6 ounces (half bag) of semisweet chocolate chips to the filling mixture. It turned out really good! This is a great easy recipe!

Spaghetti Pie II

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2008
DH was asking for the spaghetti pie I used to make when we were first married, and I couldn’t find my recipe. This is the closest I could find, and really good! Better than what I used to make, according to my DH. I used lean ground turkey instead of the beef. I doubled the recipe and cooked in a 9x13 pan, because we wanted leftovers. I seasoned the turkey with a little seasoned salt while it was cooking with the garlic, onion and tomato to add flavor. I used store- brand jarred spaghetti sauce instead of the canned tomatoes & paste, and added 1/2 of a 4-ounce can of tomato sauce to spaghetti sauce while it was cooking, so it wouldn't be too dry. I also seasoned it with a little oregano and crushed red pepper. The only other thing I changed was to use 3 eggs instead of 4 (the doubled amount) in the noodle mixture, and I blended the cottage cheese in the blender so there weren't any large curds, because DH doesn't like cottage cheese. I also cooked it for about 30 minutes before adding the cheese. It may be because my oven doesn’t get hot enough, Overall, great recipe!

Chicken Souvlaki Gyro Style

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2008
Wow! This recipe was really good! My husband couldn't stop raving about how it tastes like it came from a greek restaurant. It's health-friendly too. I strained some fat free plain yogurt all day while I was at work and used that for the yogurt part of the sauce. Also, I added a little more garlic to the sauce.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008
1 tsp seemed like a lot of salt to me, and you could taste it right away in the pancakes. I prefer the buttermilk pancakes II recipe.

Grandma B's Bean Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2006
An easy recipe! My first time cooking bean soup/and using dry beans as well! My family really liked this recipe. It was really tasty with a crumbled up corn muffin mixed in- Yum! I added a couple of bay leaves and some salt and pepper as was suggested in other reviews. I also, for time's sake, finished it up on the stove top. A definite keeper!

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2005
Great recipe! It was great just the way it is written, but VERY sweet. Next time I may use less chocolate chips. I used a deep dish 9" frozen pie crust, and it was just the right size.

Baked Potato Salad I

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2005
Great crowd pleaser! Pretty to look at too :) I left out the olives, used red potatoes (skin on), 1/2 mayo, 1/2 sour cream, green onions, and sharp cheddar cheese. I cooked the bacon in the microwave to free up my stovetop for other things I was making for my dinner. I do wonder, though if the step of cooking the potatoes for 10 minutes in boiling water is a necessary step when they're going to bake for an hour in the oven...

Warm Blue Cheese Dip with Garlic and Bacon

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2004
Wonderful dip. We served it with triscuit crackers. Just as the other reviews said, it is good, even to people who don't like bleu cheese.

Apple Strudel Muffins

Wonderful recipe! Thank you Nikki! These muffins taste just like the homemade apple muffins I used to get every morning from the Deli counter at my office.

Tortilla Rollups II

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2004
Great recipe! Simple and easy. These were the hit of a recent potluck. I used sharp cheddar and 1/2 c salsa instead of the 1/4 c. so the filling was more spreadable. I was able to use 9 out of 10 tortillas. The only problem was there were no leftovers! I'm anxious to use this versatile recipe again and experiment with different fillings. Thanks from another Debbie.

Jo's Rosemary Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2004
A family favorite! I like to use cracked fresh pepper in the recipe. It adds even more zing along with the olive oil. Delicious and fragrant.

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2004
Great recipe! For the kids I scale the recipe to 4 servings. I make it with regular milk (2 % or skim depending on what I have in the fridge) with a tablespoon or two of vinegar added to it. My kids love it, and hubby said they were the best pancakes he's had in a long time. He grew up on Aunt Jemima box mix.

Three Bean Salad I

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2004
My family RAVED over this bean salad. We LOVE cilantro! I used 1/2 cup light olive oil instead of the veg oil and substituted Splenda sweetner for the white sugar. This was VERY good. The next day I ate some of the leftovers on brown rice for lunch.

Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2004
I like these better than beef hamburgers. I used half 15% and half 98% fat free turkey. These were juicy and tasty but lean. I cooked them in my cast iron skillet. Hubby couldn't believe they were turkey, and hamburgers are one of his favorite foods.

Shepherd's Pie VI

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2004
This was AWESOME! A definite addition to my family recipe book. I, too followed the advice to cook the potatoes and carrots together, then mash separate. I made a double recipe. Instead of beef broth I used 2 beef bouillon cubes in 1.5 cups water (double recipe) with a little more ketchup. The only other thing I changed was the potatoes- I added more margarine and some light sour cream. I was a little worried about the onion in the potatoes, but it blended right in without being strong, and it was a STRONG onion! We didn't have any leftovers. My 4 year old kept asking for more and I also got rave reviews from my husband and Brother in-law. Next time I may try to use less margarine and maybe some chicken broth or fat free buttermilk in the potatoes so I can eat more!

Egg Salad I

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2004
Yum! This was my first time making egg salad. I loved the flavor of this. DH loved it too. I used white onion, as I didn't have red, although I'm sure that would be even better. I also added a little celery, as I'm always trying to get more veggies in where I can. This is a great low-cost healthy recipe. Love that it has only a little mayo. Next time I make it I'm going to try it with Light Mayo and see if its as good.

Slow Cooker Taco Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2003
Great recipe- I love how easy this recipe is to make. Great for this time of year. It could stand to be a little spicier by my taste. Next time I make it I will probably try two cans of rotel diced tomatoes w/ chiles instead of the diced tomatoes and one can of chiles to see if it spices it up any.

Fast and Easy Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2003
A nice idea, but I think the batter turned out too runny, and the recipe had too much sugar for my taste. The pancakes were rather thin and tough probably due to the batter being mixed in the blender.

Homesteader Cornbread

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2003
This cornbread tastes good and is easy to make. Goodbye Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix! It has become a staple in our house. I usually cut my recipe in half and baked it in a cast iron skillet.
