Vegetarian Gravy

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2009
Thank you for this recipe. My daughter and her boyfriend became vegetarians in early 2009. This recipe, plus a meatless-soyless turkey thing helped make it through the holidays. She is allergic to soy, but can have soy sauce because it's fermented (go figure). Thank you. It's a keeper and on the stove again this Christmas morning.

Spanish Flan

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2009
Wonderful. I followed others and added one more egg for a total of 4 and cooked it in a hot water bath. I used by 8 inch square and when I check it after 60 minutes it was really, really liquidy. I cooked it for another 30 minutes and it was great. I put 1 cup of sugar in a fry pan on low heat and it took forever, by the time I spent a minute going to another room it got really brown. I tasted it and it seemed ok, but next time I'll be more careful. It just had a little tiny burned taste, but everyone ate it up. I'm going to make it again this week for a potluck.

Washabinaros Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009
Wonderful. The only thing I did differently was that I doubled the hamburger (no sausage in the freezer) and left out the spicy peppers (I can't do real spicy) and added a sweet pepper. My husband and I ate it all week and enjoyed it very much. My husband loves spicy and I thought maybe he'd add to it, but said it was wonderful as is.

Original Homemade Italian Beef

Reviewed: May 26, 2008
I used broth instead of water and it seemed to need a lot more then 1 Cup. I used 2 packages of dressing mix as suggested and the combination was pretty salty. Maybe next time I'll use low salt broth. The taste was delicious, the texture a little funky because I'm use to sliced beef. No one else complained about the saltiness, but I did have a couple complaints about the buns instead of italian bread.

Baby BLT

Reviewed: May 26, 2008
These were really good. I used the 1/4 cup cream cheese and 1/4 cup mayo. I used 12 oz. of center cut bacon and it seemed really salty to me. I used a paring knife to cut the top off the cherry tomatoes and then the little membrane down the middle, then scooped. I found that easier then stuffing. I turned them upside down on papertowels over night in the fridge, but they got a little pruny. They were delicious and gone quickly.

Ono Butter Mochi

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2008
This was delicious and easy. My husband is from Hawaii, but Japanese and I have only had the mochi that is round with red bean paste. I made this for a Lei Day party at the nursing home where I work and it was a huge hit. The staff all said it reminded them of a Philipino dish. My husband hasn't tried it yet and I'm glad I kept some at home because it was gone in no time. I used a can of coconut milk and then whole milk for the rest of the 3 cups. I didn't put the coconut in, but sprinkled it on top. So delicious.

Taqueria Style Tacos - Carne Asada

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2008
Really wonderful. Delicious marinade. I skipped the cheese because the flank steak was so expensive I didn't want to spend another $6 on cheese I've never tried before. The onions, cilantro and lime juice was a really nice addition, I didn't have the dried peppers and felt the salsa was missing something so maybe it was really needed. I will definitely make this again and keep a look out for flank steak on sale.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2008
We're conflicted. I love bleu cheese, my husband HATES it. My husband loves spicy, not too spicy for me. I made this last night, but cut the recipe in 1/2. I used canned chicken, bleu cheese dressing (not too chunky) and no extra cheddar cheese (he's not a big hot cheese eater). I poured in the Franks hot sauce little by little to make it not too spicy for me, but still with a kick and ended up using about 1/4 cup (for 1/2 recipe). We ate it hot on Chicken and Biscuit crackers and both thought it was OK. We just ate it cold and I liked it soooooo much better. My husband thought it was better, but still OK and that's when I confessed there was bleu cheese in it. I'll try it again with cooked chicken, but will definitely keep it as a cold recipe.

Mahogany Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2007
Used cocktail sauce instead of chili sauce, everything else exactly the same. My husband loved it, but loves molasses, I thought they were o.k. Biggest complaint is the burned sticky saucy pan.

BBQ Pork for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2007
I don't think this could be any easier. I bought a pork butt which was only 20 cents a pound cheaper then a pork roast and found it to be really really fatty, with even a few bone chips. But....it was fabulous. I used Sweet Baby Rays as others mentioned and served it on Ciabatti rolls and it was great. I wish I would have gotten the bigger bottle of BBQ sauce though so it would have been a little more moist.

Simple Whole Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2007
Really good, really different. My roasting pan was too big so to stop the drippings from burning I added a can of chicken broth to the bottom and some butter. Also had to cook it quite a bit longer. My husband said it tasted like the holidays, but didn't realize what it was. It made delicious gravy, having leftover mashed potatos and gravy for lunch as I type. Served with honey ginger carrots and Caramel Apple Pie from this site.

Honey Ginger Carrots

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2007
Wonderful. I used fresh ginger to taste and fresh lemon juice and grated lemon rind. I just kept tasting until it was perfect. This is a keeper, used fresh carrots from my garden and plan on making again for Thanksgiving.

Caramel Apple Pie I

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2007
Delicious!!! I used a bunch of different kinds of apples (because I was making applesauce and apple butter). I used an extra tablespoon of cornstarch and didn't measure the carmel or nuts, just sprinkled. I also used store bought crust (a little salty). It was so good. My family gobbled it up. It was a little juicy, but delicious juice!!! I will make this again for sure.

Chicken Cordon Bleu II

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2007
Excellent. Made double the sauce and added some leftover Swiss to the sauce. My biggest problem was folding/rolling the chicken breasts. Next time I will definitely pound them.

Spaghetti Pie II

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2007
I took a lot of others suggestions. I added more onion, green pepper, garlic, oregano, basil, used ricotta instead of cottage cheese and used italian sausage instead of ground beef and still found it kind of bland. I didn't care for the ground sausage and didn't feel the ricotta added anything. My family loved it. They thought I was nuts. Next time spice, but will definitely make it again.

Sweet and Sour Chicken III

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2007
Really easy and tasty. I couldn't double the sauce because I only had one small can of pineapple, but I did add a little extra sugar and rice vinegar and only the 1/4 cup of soy sauce and the soy sauce was still pretty strong. It's a keeper.
