Cabbage Fat-Burning Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2010
I made this for my husband who is trying to shed a few Holiday Pounds. Other than the cabbage, he thought this tasted fine and was very filling. It was rather time consuming to make since I had to chop all the ingredients and keep an eye on the soup while it was simmering to make sure it didn't overflow the pot.

Best Egg Rolls

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2009
These were fantastic! I used a pre-bagged shredded cabbage & carrot mixture, mild pork sausage and canola oil for frying. I served them with the "Sweet & Sour Sauce II" and my husband and I couldn't stop eating them!

Sweet and Sour Sauce II

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2009
This was a great pairing for the "Best Eggrolls" on this site. I used the juice of the pineapple (not the tidbits) and cut the sweetness with a few shakes of soy sauce while it was simmering. Next time I will cut this recipe in half because it makes so much!

Crab Rangoon III

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2009
These were a big hit at my house! They were surprisingly easy to put together (even for me, a first time wonton-user and first time fryer!) and tasted great. I used 12 oz cream cheese and omitted the water chestnuts. The only thing I will change next time is to half the recipe because this makes so much!

Egg Drop Soup I

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2009
This recipe does not taste like any egg drop soup I've ever had. The onion flakes/chicken taste was overwhelming.

General Tsao's Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2009
This was amazing! I doubled the amount of sauce (but only used 1/2 cup cornstarch), omitted the MSG and subbed 2 tbsp red pepper flakes in place of the chile peppers. I served this with steamed broccoli and white rice - just like we would get from our favorite chinese restaurant. General Tsao's Chicken is my husband's favorite chinese dish, and he said this was the best version he'd ever had!

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2009
What a great, basic brownie recipe! I made the batter as written, beating my eggs before adding to the rest of the ingredients and mixing everything by hand. I added a layer of chocolate chips & chopped walnuts on top and baked in a 9x9 pan for 23 minutes. I can't wait to use this base recipe to experiment with different frostings/toppings/layers/candy additions!

Krista's Sticky Honey Garlic Wings

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2009
I thought the garlic/ginger flavors were overpowered by the sweetness of the brown sugar & honey, and the sauce never really thickened.

Jalapeno Popper Spread

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2009
This dip was a breeze to throw together and tasted fine. I used 2 diced jalapenos, mixed in some cheddar cheese, baked until heated thru and served with Fritos Scoops.

Spinach and Potato Frittata

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2009
This was great. I threw a small, diced onion in with the potatoes, omitted the green onions and used 8 eggs instead of 6. Easy to put together and tasted great - make sure you remember to season with salt & pepper!

Blueberry Pinwheels

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2009
These were really good! I made some substitutions based on what I had on hand: 12oz evaporated milk minus 4T, bread flour, orange zest, frozen blueberries and cream cheese frosting. I made these as directed, but after cutting (with dental floss), I put the 12 pinwheels into glass baking dishes and stored them in the fridge overnight. The next morning, I pulled them out of the fridge as I was preheating the oven and baked at 375 for 23 minutes. They were a great alternative to cinnamon rolls and will be a Christmas morning tradition in our house from now on! A word of advice: make sure you roll this up super tight or else your pinwheels will be loose.

French Bread Rolls to Die For

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2009
This recipe is perfect! I followed the recipe/instructions exactly and my rolls came out crunchy on the outside (especially the bottoms - I baked on my stoneware) and light, airy and soft on the inside. They browned perfectly and have just a hint of sour-taste to them, making them taste like real french bread. These were a breeze to throw together by hand - I can't wait to make them again!

Meatball Sandwich

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2009
Day 1: I used 1 1/3lb meat, added milk to the breadcrumbs and Worcestershire sauce to the meat. For the sauce, I sauteed a medium size onion added 28 oz of jarred sauce, one can of diced tomatoes and salt/pepper. After 17 min in the oven, I transferred the meatballs to the sauce and allowed to simmer while the bread ("Soft Sandwich Buns" formed into jumbo hoagies) warmed. I found the meatballs to be a little bland, but overall the sandwiches were a nice treat. Day 2: I reheated the meatballs with some extra tomato sauce and served over spaghetti with toasted garlic bread. The meatballs were much better after hanging out in the sauce overnight. I will make this again, with the addition of some salt to the meatballs.

Soft Sandwich Buns

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2009
Instead of making sandwich buns, I made four jumbo hoagie rolls to pair with the Meatball Sandwich from this site. I subbed water for milk and made this bread by hand - allowing for two 1 hour rise times. The resulting buns were good, but a bad choice to pair with the meatball recipe. My husband has suggested that I try these again as buns for chicken sandwiches or maybe sloppy joes.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009
These are fantastic! Per the other reviewers, I used 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Mine needed to bake for ~14-15 minutes.

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009
These were great! I subbed butter for shortening, lemon juice for cream of tartar, doubled the sugar & cinnamon mix and baked for 8 minutes. My cookies turned out more crispy than chewy, but they are certainly delicious!

Salsa Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009
This was great! Super easy to throw together and very flavorful. It's one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" recipes. I subbed 5 skinless chicken thighs instead of 4 skin/boneless breasts and omitted the sour cream to make this even more economical. I paired it with Mexican Rice I from this site and some refried beans & shredded lettuce. We will definitely be making this again!

Mexican Rice I

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009
My husband made this. He loves Mexican rice and said this was way better than anything we get at a restaurant or out of a packet. Instead of the diced tomatoes and 1.5 cups water, we used a 10oz can of Rotel and 1 cup of water.

Basil Pork Chops

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2009
These were good. I paired them with caramelized onions and some mashed potatoes. For me, the brown sugar overwhelmed the flavors of the basil and chili powder.

Crispy Rosemary Chicken and Fries

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009
I used 4 chicken leg quarters, about medium 6 red potatoes (cut into 8ths) and all dried herbs. I mixed the dried herbs in with the olive oil and tossed everything together in the baking dish, then topped with extra salt and pepper. This dish was a breeze to throw together and the chicken was fantastic, but the potatoes were not quite crispy - next time I will drain the oil from the baking dish before the cook time is up as others have suggested.
