The Big Easy Jambalaya

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011

This was AWESOME!!! I pre-chopped my veggies the night before so cooking would be quicker. I accidentally left out the yellow peppers, I found them in the fridge after the dish was complete. I also used the Spicy Jambalaya Mix by accident. I'm SO glad I used the spicy, I think it made the dish!!! I will be making this again. I hope I remember the yellow peppers.

Cajun Paella

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2011

This was ok. It had a lot of flavor but I felt the flavor was a little off. It just seemed to be missing something. Can't put my finger of what is missing. I might make this again but will use a different Zatarain's mix, maybe the Jambalaya Mix.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew IV

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2011

I hate when I read a review and the writer states the many changes that were made. However, I made a couple of changes myself. I used beef broth instead of water and added mushrooms. This stew if very yummy. I agree with another reviewer, it should be called Beef Pot Roast Stew. I love the flavors and will make this again with a few more changes. I'd at least double the wine (I use Burgandy for full flavor) and add another 1/2 can of broth. I'd also chop the carrots into smaller pieces. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it needed the broth versus the water. It would have been too bland without it. While this is a great recipe that I'll make again, it still isn't what I am looking for in a beef stew.

Mediterranean Salmon

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2009

OK...I love salmon and love balsamic vinegar so I thought this would be fabulous. It wasn't. For some reason, the flavors just didn't seem to work together. Not sure why. I can say, it was MUCH better the next day for lunch. I don't think I'll be making this one again.

Balsamic Chicken and Pasta

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2009

Great Recipe!!!! I followed it exactly except I quarted my tomatoes. I just like them smaller. I was really concerned about 2 ounces of fresh basil, but it was fabulous. I eaten it warm and cold and it is great both ways. The recipe says 6 servings but I divided it up into 12 servings. This recipe makes a lot!

Swiss Cheese Noodle Bake

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2009

YUMMY!!!! Of course, I made some changes. I only need half of this recipe so I halfed it. I only used ground beef and I left out the sausage. That way, I wouldn't have half a pound of sausage and ground beef left over. I also only used 8 oz of swiss cheese and I shredded it. I used whole wheat egg noodles and no one knew. It was so good. The whole family loved it. The only thing I would change would be the cooking instructions. I would cover it and cook for 30 min. and uncover it the last 5 min of cooking. My noodles got a little crunchy and dried out during the baking.

Beef with Green Onion

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

OMG! This was SO Yummy. I did make a couple of adjustments. I used White cooking wine instead of sherry because that is what I had on hand. I doubled the sauce and added broccoli. This was very easy and tastey. Don't leave out the oyster sauce. It just makes the recipe.

Strawberry JELL-O® Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

This is a great, easy pie. For years, I've made one similar to this. (water instead of apple juice and sugar-free jello instead of regular jello)Either way, this is a delicious pie. This go around, I used a baked pastry crust instead of graham cracker crust because I happened to have one. Both pie crusts are great. Kids and hubby loved it. Don't forget the whipped cream.

Roxie's Bran Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2009

These are so good. Not your typical Bran muffin. I used plain flour because that is what I had on hand. I used a granny smith apple and chopped it instead of shreading it. I like the chunks. I also added some chopped pecans. I added extra bananas because my bananas were very small. This is a great tasting, moist recipe. One other thing, fill the muffin cups FULL. This recipe doesn't rise very much.

Pink Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009

Not sure what went wrong. My milk never truely whipped. It seemed too soft. Once I added the gelatin mixture, it just all becam runny and wouldn't fold together. I did stir it up to combine and refrigerated it. It became and EXTRA SOFT pie, not fully set yet not runny. The taste was fine...nothing to write home about though. I think I'll delete this one from my recipe box.

Awesome Chicken Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009

OMG!!! This is the best! It is time consuming but worth the effort...especially if you double the recipe and freeze a portion for later. I left out the lemongrass...not a big fan of it. Other than that, I followed the directions...except added COOKED egg noodles instead of raw egg noodles. I used the veggies from the stock to make a ham and bean soup with a leftover ham bone and a ripped up ham steak.
