Cinnamon Rolls II

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2011

Best cinnamon rolls I've ever made, and I make them all the time! I have always made the recipe that is in my bread machine cookbook, and they always turned out pretty good. But I made these because we happened to be at our Inlaws' for the weekend and I didn't have my recipe handy. These turned out far better than what I normally make. They were light, fluffy, soft and delicious. This is a keeper.

Dirt Cake I

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2011

This was very good, but I think the butter and possibly the cream cheese are unnecessary. Also the amount of Oreos it more than needed, next time I think I would omit the butter and use only 1 package of Oreos (16oz) instead of 2 (32oz);. This recipe makes a lot, I made it in 13x9x3 (deep) dish, and it was overflowing. Don't forget to add some gummy worms between the layers!

Lemon Pepper Zucchini

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2011

Delicious! Love how simple and good this recipe is. I buttered and seasoned one side, then flipped and did the other side. I didn't turn them while baking. 5 minutes before the end I topped them with some grated parmesan. This is now my go to zucchini side dish!

Chipotle Honey Roasted Peanuts

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2010

I made these for a book club meeting and they were very popular! They are addictive too. So easy to make my husband declared that we should always make our nuts using this recipe instead of buying them pre-made at the store! For those who have had trouble finding Chipotle Chili Powder, they carry it at Penzey's Spices

Slow Cooker Chili II

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2010

This is now my go-to chili recipe! I forgot to add the garlic, and only had 2 cans of beans (one kidney, one black) but it still came out great. I don't think it needed 3 cans of beans. I also added an extra can of diced tomatoes with mild green chilis, since the sauce alone didn't seem like quite enough. I used 1T of Penzey's Chili 3000 seasoning blend instead of the plain chili powder.

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2010

This was my first time making spaghetti and meatballs, and possibly my first time making spaghetti sauce from scratch. I never want to go back to the jar sauce! This was awesome, and really quite easy. It takes awhile to make, but most of it is not active prep/cooking time. I used a couple fresh tomatoes in addition to the canned (had some I needed to use), added some salt to the sauce and a little bit of salt-free italian seasoning in addition to the parsley and basil. I also substituted some mild italian sausage for some of the ground beef (about 1/4 of it). It was delicious!

Ground Beef Stroganoff

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2010

I would give it 5 stars with an added can of cream of mushroom soup as others suggested. I made it with light sour cream and mayo and fat free cream of mushroom soup and it was still really rich.

Chicken Tortilla Soup I

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2010

This was excellent! I added more broth than the recipe called for, the tortilla soup I'm used to is not that thick. I left out the hominy because I didn't have any, but the soup didn't seem to be missing anything. Also I used some salsa verde instead of green chilis because I was out of those too. I'll be making this again soon!

Korean Salad with Sesame Dressing

Reviewed: Apr. 17, 2010

This was tasty, but not quite what I was hoping for (compared to the salad dressing at our favorite Korean BBQ place). I thought it tasted watered down, so next time I'd use less water or none at all. It also didn't need 1 full tablespoon of red pepper flakes, I used about a teaspoon and the heat was fine. I also added some ginger, and next time I might add garlic as well.

Jalapeno Poppers I

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2010

I followed another reviewer's advice and boiled the seeded peppers for 2 minutes before assembling, so they came out nice and soft. I also blended the cheeses in the food processor which gave the filling a nice smooth texture so I could pipe it from a pastry bag into the peppers. Then I rolled them in flour before the egg, and used bread crumbs instead of corn flakes. I baked mine at 400 because I had other things in the oven at that temp, but I think it was too hot because the filling sort of exploded out of them. They were tasty, though I think the filling could have used a bit more flavor, maybe some cayenne or garlic or paprika.

Honey Baked Apples

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2009

Simple and delicious. A couple tips - remove more than just the core, make something more like a 3/4" hole so you have more room for stuffing them with cranberries! Also, don't skip the step for removing the top third of the peel, I forgot it and my apples sort of exploded out of their skins. They looked funny but tasted great!

Salmon with Dijon Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

I made the sauce only, I used a soy-brown sugar marinade for the salmon. Yummy!

Trout Amandine

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

Simple and delicious! I actually added the lemon juice to the butter in the pan, and whisked it together quickly which gives you more of a sauce. I served mine with red skinned mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach. The almonds add a nice crunch to the texture. Oh and "amandine" is definitely the correct name!

Grilled Salmon I

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2009

Great! The only change I'd make is to reduce the sugar just a bit, I like them sweet but they were a bit too sweet for me. Otherwise, great texture and flavor.

Grilled Fish Tacos with Chipotle-Lime Dressing

Reviewed: May 6, 2009

These were awesome. I had a hard time getting the amount of adobo sauce the recipe called for from the can so I pureed some of the chipoltes too - bad idea, wayyy too spicy! So we had to use the sauce really sparingly, but they tasted great.

Lemon Meringue Pie III

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009

I've made lemon meringue pies for years from the recipe on the back of the corn starch box, with varied success. However I was really pleased with the extra touches in this pie and it turned out beautifully. I have to say beautiful because we didn't cut into it at the party I took it to so I didn't taste it once it was assembled! But it looked good and the custard was good when I sampled it during cooking. I liked this method of creating the custard more than the "throw everything in the pot and boil" version, it's harder to mess up or burn this way. Only change is that since you add some of the meringue to the custard, it doesn't leave much for the top, so I'd use 5 egg whites instead of 4. I also use a graham cracker crust, which is how my mom has always made it.

Shrimp Wrapped with Prosciutto

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009

Overall this was good, although I think it called for way too many nuts in the sauce. I'd use about half of what the recipe calls for. I bought the biggest shrimp I could find and the servings were still pretty small at 1 per person, so I'd suggest making double the shrimp. I also used packaged polenta, so I can't comment on that recipe but the sauce and shrimp were good.

Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2009

Although this was nice, I found it lacking in flavor. I added crushed red pepper (a couple pinches), extra garlic, and more salt and pepper than I would have expected I'd need. After that, it was pretty good! I didn't think it would need the butter but it definitely helped the flavor.
