I followed the recipe with a couple of exceptions: 8 oz. Velveeta for the cheez whiz, I used fresh broccoli since that's what I had on hand, and I added 1/4 cup half and half before baking because it seemed a little dry. Really good. Will probably make again.

Raspberry Almond Coffeecake

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2009

This was really delicious! Fresh raspberries are a must, in my opinion. I followed the recipe as is and thought there was enough batter for an 8 inch pan. There were certainly raspberries peeking through the top but it looks pretty that way with the almonds and the glaze on top.

Cedar Plank-Grilled Salmon with Garlic, Lemon and Dill

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2008

This was fantastic! The topping was delicious along with the smoke from the cedar plank. I soaked mine for 2 hours and didn't have any problems with it catching fire. It did buckle a little and the bottom got charred but the salmon cooked beautifully. The lemon zest is much more flavorful than simply using lemon juice. Delicious!

Barbequed Ribs

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2008

We really enjoyed these ribs. The cooking method takes awhile, but it creates a very moist and tender rib. I would reduce the amount of chile powder next time as the flavor was a little strong. The sauce was delicious. I added 2 T. molasses to give it a little more sweetness.

Microwave Lemon Curd

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2008

This is amazing stuff! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out very well. I microwaved for about 6 minutes, stirring after each minute. This was delicious on blueberry muffins. I also used it as a filling for lemon cupcakes.

Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2008

This was fantastic! I followed the advice of other reviewers and used 1.5 cups coconut milk for part of the half and half and used 1/3 c. cornstarch in place of the flour. I did this in the microwave and it came out beautifully. I used quite a bit more whipped topping than called for. I also toasted just the coconut that went on top. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Garlic Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2008

Mmmmm, this was delicious. So easy to prepare, too! I made the gravy with apple juice and added a little extra chicken broth. It was delicious over the chicken. I increased the cooking time 20 minutes to get the chicken to the correct internal temperature but my chicken was just over 4 lbs.

Smothered Green Beans

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2008

I loved these green beans. They seem so comforting with all that bacon and onion. I used pre-cooked bacon and just browned it with the onions in a little bit of oil. I cooked mine for about 30 minutes to get to the texture that I like.

Chicken Pesto Pizza

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2008

This was really delicious. I used homemade pesto and homemade pizza crust. I couldn't find fontina so I used an Italian blend of shredded cheeses. This would also be good with mushrooms and onions or pine nuts added.

Sausage Balls

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

These are fantastic. I served them at a bridal shower several months ago. It takes awhile to get the mixture to combine but I think it's helpful to a Kitchenaid with the dough hook attachment. I like these best with Jimmy Dean HOT sausage. They freeze well (uncooked) also.

Mexican Cream Cheese Rollups

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

These are very good althought I add 8 oz. shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese to the cream cheese mixture. I like to use sun-dried tomato tortillas and spinach tortillas to give them a pretty color.

Fruit Dip II

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

So easy and good! I especially like this with apples, strawberries, and pineapple. I might try this with flavored cream cheese next time.

Grilled Lemon Herb Pork Chops

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

These were very good. I marinated for about 3 hours and then grilled. I felt weird about using leftover marinade (even after being boiled down) as a sauce so I just left that part out. There was plenty of flavor from the marinating.

Strawberry Panna Cottas

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

This was good for a light, tasty dessert. I poured the gelatin mixture into miniature flower cake molds. Unfortunately it wasn't firm enough to hold the shape very well when I unmolded them. Next time I'll use a ramekin or IMVINTAGE's suggestion of using a martini glass. I used one bag of frozen strawberries because the fresh ones weren't very ripe. I also used sugar instead of Splenda and it tasted great.

Easy and Elegant Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2008

This was a very tasty way to cook pork tenderloin. I coated the pork with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic pepper in a ziplock bag. Then I dumped in the bread crumbs and shook the bag until the pork was well-coated. I placed on a foil-lined pan and baked as directed. When it was done, there was a nice crust on the pork and I didn't have to clean a pan...I just threw out the foil. Next time I'll add some grated parmesan to the bread crumbs.

Almond-Topped Fish

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2008

I thought this was really good as is but hubby didn't like the almonds on his. That was easy enough to fix! I used light mayo instead of fat-free because that's what I had on hand and I used freshly grated parmesan. This was really good on cod.

Chicken Broth in a Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2008

I really like this method for making broth. It was very flavorful and YOU get to control how much salt is in it. I bought a 5 pound chicken, cut up, and divided it between two slow cookers to make a double batch. I used half to make soup and froze the other half. I froze the chicken meat to use later in a soup or casserole.

April's Chicken Fried Rice

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2008

This was a good, basic chicken fried rice. Very comforting. The eggs really help to hold everything together. Next time I might add bean sprouts or water chestnuts for a little crunch.

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2008

This was very good and so easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly and had no problems. It made enough to fill a large rectangular pizza stone for a thick crust pizza.
