Tasty 2-Step Chicken Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2012

Love this recipe, but it took me almost twice as long. The chicken was raw after 25 minutes; it took about 50 for me. Great garnished with parsley. I've seen other recipes that add a little chive and onion cream cheese if you want a richer sauce. (I although I think it tastes plenty rich without too.)

Strawberry Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2011

A lot of oats. I tried adding more vanilla and still only taste the oats. Would probably reduce those and add more vanilla next time!

Heavenly Blueberry Smoothie

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2011

I didn't have honey and without it all I could taste was the yogurt. I would probably reduce the amount of yogurt.

Jennie's Heavenly Slow Cooker Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2011

Delicious. I made it with cream of mushroom soup instead of golden like some of the reviews suggested, cooked on high for four hours, and served over egg noodles. So good and easy!

Pasta Peas

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2011

I thought this was ok. It was good, but I've definitely had better versions of it in restaurants. Mine was a little bland and soupy. I used chicken broth instead of water and added fresh garlic, oregano, Italian seasoning, and fresh parsley per some of the reviews. I also doubled the cheese to use mine up. We still ended up adding crushed red pepper and garlic bread to give it more flavor. I think diced tomatoes, ground sausage, and basil could be good additions.

Cranberry Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2011

Mine didn't turn out well, but I'm giving this one more star since I think it would be better if I had followed the directions. I doubled the recipe for a party and spread it in a pan, but it was too thin and no one could get any on their pretzels, so it remained pretty much untouched. If I had kept it as a block, I think more people would have eaten it.

Blueberry Cream Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2011

These were good, not exceptional though. I used whole wheat flour and no vanilla since I was out of it, and added cinnamon per some other reviews. They were good, but not a ton of taste.

Brunch Omelet Torte

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2011

This was SO good! I used turkey sausage instead of the bacon. I didn't do the egg baste on top because I forgot. I used an 8 inch pie pan and ran out of room so left out one of the layers of potatoes and used it as an additional side. Otherwise followed exactly and it was awesome!

Chicken in Savory Lemon Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2011

This was good, but I had thought the sauce would be thicker for some reason. Mine was like sitting in a soup. I baked it all together for an hour at 325 like one of the reviews suggested. Definitely still good, but would try leaving out the water next time. I also squeezed a whole fresh lemon per the reviews.

Cheesy Potatoes II

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2010

Nice, easy recipe. I used fat free soup, cheese, and sour cream, and didn't add the butter per some of the other reviews, and I added garlic, garlic powder, and a touch of oregano. Mine was not nearly as good as others I've had, but it was due to the low fat ingredients so I'm still giving the recipe a good rating. Next time I want to try with the potatoes O'Brien!

Parmesan Spinach Balls

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2010

These didn't blow me away, but it was a good appetizer to bring to a party since it's not a common one. I served them with marinara and everyone really liked them. They did take a bit of work, but the end result was good. I added 2 tsps minced garlic per others suggestions, garlic powder and a little oregano, and used yellow onion instead of green since it was what I had. They definitely took more like 35 minutes to bake like some of the other reviews said.

Slider-Style Mini Burgers

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2010

Oh my gosh this recipe is SO good!!!! I'm never going to White Castle again. I made it with ground turkey, fat free mayo and fat free cheese. I followed others' suggestions and baked them wrapped in the foil (not on a cookie sheet.) Ours came out a little crispy so next time I will probably only bake for 10 minutes so it can melt together (since everything in it is alreay cooked.) We used sandwich rolls though so it might be different with the regular buns.

Apple Cheese Pizza

Reviewed: May 14, 2010

My fiancee really liked this but I followed some other suggestions and changed the recipe, so that is why I am not giving it a better rating. I used a wheat crust, put minced garlic on the cream cheese before adding the cheese, used a bag and a quarter of cheese (about 2 1/2 cups), and then putting green onions and chopped turkey bacon on the top. I used an 8 oz package of cream cheese to make it easy to spread and that was WAY too much. The pizza was really good but it was too rich with all of the cream cheese I put. Next time will make it with about half, closer to the recipe amount. Did really like the overall taste though and will make again.

Marinated Tuna Steak

Reviewed: May 13, 2010

This was AMAZING!!!! So easy and sooo delicious. It looked really nice too, I definitely want to make this for company sometime!! I made a few changes based on what I had, but nothing that different...used sesame ginger marinade instead of soy, canola oil instead of olive, left out the parsley and did more oregano, marinated for about 40 min, and cooked 5 min on each side on the grill. So good!!! Served with green beans in soy sauce and sliced almonds and it was perfect.

Aunt Eileen's Stuffed Eggplant

Reviewed: May 11, 2010

I'm not sure what happened with this one...I made the recipe as written but the eggplant was really hard and we had to just scoop the filling out and eat it by itself. I'm a beginner cook so not sure if the eggplant just wasn't ripe enough? We ended up throwing this out though.

Classic Tuna Noodle Casserole

Reviewed: May 11, 2010

I'm going to have to try this recipe again. I made some changes and it really turned out badly. I used wheat egg noodles and tried cooking them a long time because they usually have a firmer taste, but I overcooked them and made the whole dish taste like a soggy mush. We ended up throwing out the leftovers. Judging from the other reviews though I will have to try again as written...

Brooklyn Girl's Penne Arrabiata

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2010

I make this all the time and love it!! Such a good recipe. I make it with wheat pasta and leave out the chicken and bread crumbs. I like adding whatever else I have around...garbanzo beans and black olives are some favorites!

Pear and Prosciutto Pizza

This was amazing. I used wheat crust, and did not alter the recipe at all. I could seriously eat this everyday, it was so good and easy!

Cranberry Puffs

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2010

These turned out so well. Everyone asked me for the recipe. I made them without the jalapeno (due to the people eating it, I would have loved that.) I also put all of the mixture in, rather than saving some for dipping, and used phyllo dough instead of wonton wrappers since I couldn't find them. I baked them like some of the other reviews suggested. Overall, these were delicious and I can't wait to make them again!

Antipasto Squares

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2010

I made the big mistake of making this for some picky eaters without any of the meat, but not adding anything else since they don't like vegetables either. Made that way the recipe was very bland, but I could tell that it would have been really good if I had made it the way it was written. I added a lot of crushed red pepper and oregano. I think it would be good with a variety of cheeses.
