Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2012

I followed this recipe exactly. It turned out delicious. The beef was so tender and I strained the liquid and used that over the mashed potatoes. The sauce had a bit of zing to it from the Italian dressing but the ranch made it smooth. I love how easy this was to put together in the morning before I went to work.

Chocolate Bar Fondue

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2011

This was a great recipe and by far the best chocolate fondue I have ever made. It was a mild, smooth tasting chocolate and the consistency was good for dipping. I followed the recipe as written except used brewed coffee instead of the water and coffee granules. It did however make a lot. I had 15 people in and I have about 2 cups of the mixture left. This may be because there were other things as well not because we didn't like it. I will try to freeze this and save for another time. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

Beets on the Grill

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2011

The timing was off a bit for me but the beets I had may have been a bit larger.The beets I had were about the size of a small orange and they took between 45 and 60 minutes. Make sure you turn them quite often or they tend to burn. I really liked this recipe and I liked that I didn't have to peel them. I will keep this recipe, especially when I go camping.Thanks for sharing this one.

Smothered Filet Mignon

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2011

Very good. I substituted feta for the bleu cheese only because that is what I had on hand. It was excellent with the feta.

Blueberry and Raspberry Pancake Topping

I didn't get to use this on pancakes. We put it on ice cream and wow it was delicious. I will definitely make this again. Maybe this time we can try on pancakes or even waffles.

Dry Ranch Style Seasoning for Dip or Dressing

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2011

Excellent seasoning. I am so pleased to have found this recipe as I use a fair bit of ranch seasoning packages. The only thing I would change is to cut the salt in half. It is very salty and I added 1/2 tsp dill. All in all a great recipe and very handy.

Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2011

I've made this salad numerous times and it is one of my favorites. I don't add the black olives only because they are not something I like. This salad is good even when I don' t have tomatoes available. I use a dry ranch style seasoning recipe from this site so I always have that seasoning readily available. It is also quite a bit cheaper to make your own seasoning than purchasing the packages. Good salad and has become a standard in our house when I need a pasta salad. Thanks for sharing.

Reviewed: Mar. 25, 2011

The only thing I changed on this recipe was to add Old Bay Seasoning instead of salt and pepper. I liked the suggestions of bacon and will try that next time.I have made this numerous times and it is a good recipe as is if you don't want to change anything.

Loosemeat Sandwiches III

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2011

I don't usually review a recipe if I have changed it but this time I will. I took the advice of another reviewer and used cola instead of plain water. I know it sounds weird but it was excellent. I did everything else the same. These were very good sandwiches. It will go in my keeper box.

Flax and Sunflower Seed Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2011

This is an excellent bread. I have added the sunflower seeds at the beginning of the cycle and they are fine. I set this up at night with the timer and it is ready in the morning. I've also used 1/2 sunflower seeds and 1/2 pumpkin seeds. This was great if you like lots of seeds in your bread. I think it would be good with a bit of chopped nuts as well. All in all a great bread machine recipe that turns out every time. Thanks for this one.

Crispy Rosemary Chicken and Fries

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2011

I made this last night and it was excellent. So easy to make after work and it was ready for supper. I only had chicken thighs so that is what I used. I didn't peel the potatoes I just scrubbed them and cut them up. I would suggest cutting the potatoes in fairly small pieces depending on the size of the chicken pieces you use. The thighs I used were quite small so they were done a bit before the potatoes were done and this is so delicious you want the potatoes soft.Be sure to baste once everything starts to brown. I also didn't have fresh herbs so I used approximately 1/2 tbsp dried rosemary and 1/2 tsp dried oregano. This was not to much of either of these herbs but I love the flavor of rosemary. I also sprinkled about 1 tsp salt and a sprinkle of lemon pepper because that is what I had handy. I would highly recommend this recipe if you are in a hurry and need to get a meal on the table with little fuss.Thanks for sharing it Sandy.

Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2011

Wow, these were fantastic. I used this recipe for sweet potato fries. I made the batter a bit thinner than the recipe called for by adding about 1 more tbsp of water mixing up the batter and then put the whole cut up potato in and mixed them around. Then I took out one fry at a time with tongs and put it in the hot oil. It took a bit of time to cook them so they wouldn't stick together but it was worth it. I've been looking a long time for a sweet potato fry recipe that was crisp and these are. They aren't skinny fries but if you want crispy fries I don't know how to get them without frying them. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Next time I will use a regular potato.

CARNATION® Classic Five-Minute Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2010

I followed the recipe as written but used pecans instead of walnuts. Delicious. I normally don't like fudge but this was excellent and not so sweet as regular fudge.Be sure to use only 2 cups measured of marshmallows not 2 cups equivalent in ounces.

Texas Ranch Potato Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2010

I was looking for something different than the Potato Salad I always make and this did not disappoint. It was delicious. I mixed the dressing a day ahead and then mixed the salad just before we ate it. I also added 4 hard boiled eggs(personal preference). The ranch flavor gives a new twist to potato salad. Thanks for the recipe.
