Honey Glazed Ham

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2012

Outstanding--better than the Honey Baked Ham Company brand. I did tweak the recipe but only slightly. I used a spiral ham. Made the glaze using 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and 1/4 cup brown sugar instead of whole cloves and corn syrup. You will not believe how good this tastes!!!

Strawberry Spinach Salad I

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2012

Excellent recipe. For a more substantial variation add a piece of grilled salmon and some goat cheese-a great main dish salad. I often switch out the spinach for romaine and/or other greens. One of my favorite recipes from this site.

Brownie Biscotti

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2012

Really good biscotti recipe. I did not have any trouble with crumbling. Used a chef's knife and only waited 10 minutes before slicing. Then baked for 8 minutes per side in a 300F oven. Will definitely make again.

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2012

Found the taste of the sauce to be overwhelming. First time making Mahi Mahi, and I prefer other fish over it. Will not make this recipe again.

Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2012

A really good, fresh tasting entree. I thought the marinade used to flavor the fish was outstanding. Served this with an herbed basmati rice on the side. Will be putting this in the rotation of favorites.

Seasoned Potato Fries

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2012

Healthy and tasty alternative to french fries. I cut back on the oil to 1 teaspoon, and it was plenty. Omitted the Italian seasoning but added some seasoned salt and sprinkled the potatoes with paprika before popping in the oven. Went great with grilled burgers.

Grilled Sea Bass

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2012

The fish was good but not even close to being the best I've ever had. Would make again but wouldn't be in a hurry.

Braided Easter Egg Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2011

Bread looked great for Easter. Thank goodness I read the other reviewers comments about the time-took mine out of the oven after 30 minutes, and it was perfect. Had a nice degree of sweetness. Definitely need to slice it down before serving or your guest will never cut into it!

Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2011

A four star rating just for ease of preparation. Definitely need a few minutes under the broiler before serving. Missing a depth of flavor. Will play around with some seasonings and rubs next time. Change up the flavor by trying different sauces or make your own.

Simple Oven Fries

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2011

Healthy and much tastier alternative to deep fried potatoes. Also a better choice that store-bought frozen fries. Used with a Philly Steak Salad recipe from this site.

Philly Steak Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2011

Used sirloin instead of flank steak. Substituted Simple Oven Fries recipe from this site in place of frozen curly fries. Think next time I will marinate steak but not the onions and pepper. Much better lettuce variations available to use rather than iceberg. Recipe can easily be customized to suit individual tastes.

Easy Mexican Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2011

Had the students in my survival cooking class make this recipe. Most of them enjoyed it. I thought the tortilla chips, which lined the bottom, tasted too dry. Would probably add more ground beef also.

Simple Scones

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2011

This recipe is very good. Make it a little easier by using a pastry blender to mix cold butter into flour rather than grating it. A good basic scone recipe which can be adapted with different flavorings.

Blueberry Buckle

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2011

Mine took a little longer to bake than listed. Use this recipe when you have fresh blueberries. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Very good recipe.

Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2011

I love this recipe. Great flavoring for fast grilled chicken breasts. I usually pound the chicken breasts thinner to speed up the grilling process. Often make extra to use the next day in a salad. Highly recommended.

Key Lime Pie VII

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2011

Made this recipe exactly as listed. You have to like the taste of limes, which many do not, to appreciate this recipe. It is a fast, good tasting recipe for Key Lime Pie. Would make again.
