Rainbow Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009
This is a very pretty and tasty jello salad! I couldn't find the orange-pineapple jello, so I used peach instead. I also divided the mixtures up into my large and small gelatin molds. It worked very well, and looked beautiful. I was a little skeptical about preparing all the bowls of gelatin and letting them sit on the counter as each layer chilled, but it actually worked very well. Only one bowl hardened slightly...I held it over a lighted burner on my stove until it became liquid again before pouring it into the mold. This is a very yummy recipe that I would make again! Thanks for sharing!

Raspberry-Lime Sherbet 'Watermelon'

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009
This is such a cute, yummy, kid-friendly recipe! Here are some things I did to make a super cute and easy watermelon: I used the largest of my Wonderlier Tupperware bowl set lined with plastic wrap and lined the inside with one pint of lime sherbet. I put about 1 1/2 cups of softened vanilla ice cream inside of the lime sherbet to make the watermelon more realistic. It started to get very soft, so I hardened it up in the freezer for about 10 minutes. When I pulled it back out, I could easily smooth the rind layer. I filled it up with the softened raspberry sherbet/chocolate chip mixture with only a tiny bit left over. Then I put the lid onto the Tupperware bowl and froze it overnight. It worked really well, and everyone loved it! The watermelon really looked realistic, and it tasted really yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Fresh Rosemary Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2009
This is such a healthy, delicious bread! I converted the recipe to avoid using the bread machine, because I don't have one. Instead, I formed the dough into two long, skinny ropes, cut slashes in the top, and baked them in the oven. The only other change I made was to cut the salt and pepper back to 1/2 tsp. The bread came out very delicious this way...the only other change I would consider is maybe soaking the oat bran in some of the water for 1/2 hour before mixing up the dough so that it would be softer. Thanks so much for sharing...this recipe is a keeper!

Kettle Corn

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009
This tastes very much like the kettle corn I like to buy at the state fair! I didn't think it would work, because my kernels didn't pop until I raised the temperature to high rather than medium. This made the corn pop, but also caramelized the sugar...next time I make it, I will stick to the medium heat and be a little more patient! I did sprinkle the popcorn with salt while it was still hot and sticky; it gave it that wonderful sweet/salty kettle corn flavor! Thanks for sharing this recipe...I will be making it often!

Yellow Squash Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009
This is a tasty casserole...it just needs a little tweaking. I cooked the squash on the stove just until it turned bright yellow, not until it was tender, and then proceeded with the recipe. I didn't have any round buttery crackers, so I used some leftover bagel chip crumbs I had lying around. I also added only 2 tbs. of butter to the filling, and completely omitted it in the topping. The casserole was very moist, and still greasy even with less butter. With these changes, the squash came out tender, but not mushy, and the the topping was crisp as well. Thanks for sharing, this is yummy!

Toffee Dessert

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009
This is a super easy and tasty dessert! I made it just as written, and it turned out very well. Next time, I might bake the crust, because it really crumbled a lot when the dessert was cut. This is the only problem I had, however. The whole pan was gone before I could even take a picture of a single piece! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe...it is one that I would make again!

Moonbeams

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2009
This is such an easy and surprisingly tasty treat! My little brother really loved rolling them in chocolate jimmies (we didn't have any coconut!) and my siblings really liked them. I do think that they are a little to sweet, however, and the dough was pretty sticky. If I make them again, I will cut the amount of honey to 1/3 cup to solve both of those problems. Thanks for sharing!

Summer Bean Salad I

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2009
This is a very yummy bean salad! I made two changes, I cut the amount of vinegar in half, and I used parsley and dried cilantro instead of fresh cilantro, because I didn't have any :)I loved it this way...and so did my mom! This is a very filling and healthy salad; thanks so much for sharing the recipe!

Yellow Squash Patties

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009
I might have done something wrong, but I did not care for these. The flavor was okay, but there was way to much squash, they were very hard to flip when on the griddle because they were falling apart so badly. Sorry, but I won't be making these again!

Cinnamon Cranraisin Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009
I made this bread without a bread machine and my family loved it! The whole loaf was gone in about an hour! The only change I made was to substitute 2/3 cup of whole wheat flour instead of more white flour. I also made this with bread flour instead of AP. The only problem I had with it is that I felt it to be a little salty...other than that, this is an excellent bread that I would make again! Thanks for sharing!

Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2009
I've never tried stuffed zucchini before, and I thought it sounded good. This recipe was just as perfect and delicious as I expected! I did make a couple of substitutions to use what I had on hand...ground turkey instead of ground beef, some random green I had laying around instead of the spinach (may have been broccoli rabe?) and four of those cheap white hot dog buns instead of the French bread. I also cut the salt down to 3/4 tsp. With these changes, the zucchini came out absolutely perfect...the zucchini was tender and the filling was moist and flavorful. I will definitely make this recipe again! You really have to try it!!!

Honey-Lime Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009
For such a simple recipe, I was amazed at how absolutely delicious this chicken is! It couldn't have been easier to put together, and the taste was magnificent! My chicken was frozen, and I threw a couple of chicken thighs in the bag as well. There was plenty of marinade for all the pieces, esp. because as the chicken thawed, the marinade thinned out enough to cover all the pieces. I did marinade it for longer than 45 minutes; it was more like 3 hours. This was so good...I will definitely make it again!

Grilled Yellow Squash

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2009
This is a very simple and yummy yellow squash recipe. I loved the idea of a garlic-flavored oil, but felt that the finished product could have used a little bit more of the garlic flavor. All in all, this was very tasty, and I will probably make it again. Thanks for sharing!

Grilled Garlic Parmesan Zucchini

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2009
This is a very simple and tasty recipe for zucchini! I didn't make it quite right (my dad does the grilling, and he used indirect heat, so they didn't get any grill marks) but it was still very tasty. I also spread the butter mixture on one side of the zucchini slices instead of both; I wasn't quite sure how to spread it on the curved skin side! Even with these changes, the zucchini lovers in my house enjoyed this dish, but we all thought it could use just a tad more of something...but we weren't quite sure what. All in all, it is a very simple and satisfying dish. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Buttermilk Pound Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2009
Wow, this is one of the best pound cakes I've ever tried! The flavor was magnificent and it had such a moist, fine crumb. I'm so surprised that it has so few reviews! The only problem I had with it was that is rose out of the pan, creating a hump on the top that wasn't so attractive...next time I make it, I will be put some of the batter in my small teacake pan so that the cake won't rise over the top. Thanks so much for sharing...this is one I will make again!!

Cinnamon Snack Mix

Reviewed: Aug. 4, 2009
This is a wonderful recipe! With a few changes, it won my little sister a blue ribbon in a "Create with Ramen Noodles" contest! Here are the changes I made: I used craisins instead of the golden raisins (this gave it more color!) 2 cups of pretzel goldfish, 1 cup of honey nut cheerios and 2 cups of golden graham cereal for the full amount of golden graham cereal, and I also omitted the orange juice. It turned out beautifully, and the judge couldn't stop commenting on how unusual and delicious it was! Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!

Easy Greek Yogurt Cucumber Sauce

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2009
To be honest, I was a little bit wary of this recipe because I hate feta cheese. Boy, I wish I'd tried it sooner! This dip is AMAZING! The only problem I had with it was that it is a bit runny, probably because if the yogurt. That won't stop me from making this again and again, though! Thanks so much, 5thsister, for sharing this yummy recipe!!!

Summery Lime-Mango Shortcakes

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2009
This is my recipe, and I have a couple of tips to help anyone who wants to make this! The gelatin part of the coconut cream is optional; it is just intended to help stabilize the cream if it has to sit for a long period of time. If you decide to put the gelatin in, be careful that it doesn't cool down too much, as it will form small, hard lumps in the cream when you try to beat it in. I hope this helps! Thanks for looking at my recipe!

Jellybean Bark

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2009
This is such a tasty and cute idea! My little sister really enjoyed pressing the jellybeans into the white chocolate, and she enjoyed eating it even more! All of my little siblings (as well as their neighbor friends!) loved it so much that it was gone in less than an hour! Thanks so much, Christina, for sharing this cute recipe! This is a keeper!

Radishes Simmered with Thyme

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2009
I made this recipe recently when my aunt gave me a lot of extra multi-colored radishes. I made this exactly as written, and found the radishes pretty bland, with a very strange, but not entirely unpleasant flavor. I don't think I will make these again, but this was a pretty and interesting way to use up surplus radishes. Thanks for sharing!
