Mini Crescent Dogs

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2012

Easy to make and very good. Exactly what it claims to be. I only took out a couple of triangles of dough at a time to work with, putting the remaining in the freezer. The colder the dough, the easier it is to work with. I used a pizza cutter to slice the dough, as other reviewers suggested. I did turn the oven temp down from 375 to 350, since some people had a problem with the crescent rolls getting too brown. I lined the baking sheet with parchment paper and baked for 8 minutes, then rotated the cookie sheet and baked for 8 more minutes. Came out perfect. Served with honey mustard sauce on this website, as other reviewers recommended.

Yummy Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 6, 2012

I made this exactly the way the recipe calls for. I used Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. I let it chill overnight. It was totally delicious. Will make again and again.

Delilah's Frosted Cut-Out Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2011

I made this cookie exactly as the recipe called for. The dough would have been hard to roll out, as some other reviewers said, except that I rolled it between two sheets of parchment paper, and that helped. But it was very difficult to lift the dough up off the paper onto the cookie sheet because the dough was so soft and flimsy. I would have just placed the parchment paper, cookies and all, onto the cookie sheet, except that I had cut the cookies too close together. As a result, the cookies got stretched out of shape somewhat in the transfer, and some actually tore apart. I will say that the cookies held their shape (such as it was) during baking more than some other recipes I have tried. I also agree with some other reviewers that the cookies were a little bland, but I actually prefer a less sweet cookie, so I thought these tasted pretty good. The icing did not work out for me the way the recipe is written. It took lots more milk to get the right consistency, but other than that, the icing was a winner. It even worked to glue back together a broken cookie. It baffles me how we can all try the same recipe and our experiences turn out so differently, but mine was such that I won't use this recipe again.

No Bakes

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2011

These are awesome! Taste just like I remember the ones from the school cafeteria over 40 years ago. I followed the recipe exactly. I used my hands to mix the oats and peanut butter because I wasn't getting anywhere with that wooden spoon. I can't imagine someone thinking they were dry, because they are not at all. Neither are they too sweet, IMHO.

Easy Cheese Ball II

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2011

I followed the recipe exactly. It was pretty good, but I thought it was a little dry. Could it have been because I used low-fat cream cheese? Since it was so easy to make, I may try it again with regular cream cheese to see if that makes a difference.

Chicken Piccata with Artichoke Hearts

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2011

I'm sorry to rate this recipe so low, especially with all the other good reviews, but it was sooo bland I just can't justify any more than 3 stars. I followed the recipe exactly. After our first couple of bites, my husband and I both were seaching the kitchen for something to put on the dish to flavor it up a little. Maybe this is how chicken piccata is supposed to be, but if you're like my family, and prefer dishes with extreme flavor, you will be disappointed with this recipe.

Chicken with Lemon Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2011

This was very good. My husband said it was perfect, but I thought it could use more lemony flavor. That may have been because I used bottled lemon juice instead of fresh. Other than that, I followed the recipe. Next time I will use fresh lemon. Since my husband said it was perfect, and since I fudged on the lemon juice, I decided this recipe deserved 5 stars instead of the 4 that I was leaning toward.

Fasolatha

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2011

Delicious the first time around...even better after sitting over night. I used canned white kidney beans. Didn't have fresh parsley so I used dried. Other than those two changes, I made it according to the recipe. Served it over rice. I will definitely make it again...the same way I did this time.

Pretty Chicken Marinade

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2011

WOW! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. I didn't have low-sodium soy sauce, so I used regular soy sauce and halved the quantity from 2/3 cup to 1/3 cup. I have put low-sodium soy sauce on my grocery list, though, to keep on hand just for this recipe. I didn't have spicy brown mustard so I used dijon. This recipe actually made a little more marinade than I really needed for 3 breast halves (that's what always comes in a package in this part of the country), so I may make a little less next time. This is the first time I have ever used liquid smoke. I'm a fan!

Honey Baked Chicken II

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2010

Love it! Followed recipe exactly. No need to cover the chicken as long as you baste every 15 minutes, as the recipe directs. I do suggest that you check the internal temperature of the chicken after about 45 minutes. I baked mine one hour, and it was slightly overdone.

Baked Corn Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2010

I made this according to the recipe with two minor exceptions. I left out the peppers, and I sauteed the onion in a little butter before adding it to the mix. It is delicious, but way too fattening to eat on a regular basis. We will save this for the occasional splurge.

Simple Taco Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2010

Delicious! I made a couple of minor changes based on personal preference. Two pounds of ground beef seemed like too much for a recipe that serves six, so I only used one pound of ground beef. After I browned and drained it, I added it with all of the other ingredients to a crockpot. I added a 2.25-oz. can of sliced black olives, drained. I left out the water because I ran out of room in the crockpot, but it proved to be unnecessary, I assume because the crockpot held in all of the moisture.

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2010

This frosting was exactly what I was looking for. It is very creamy and not too sweet. If you like a really sweet cream cheese frosting you will probably want to use a recipe that has less cream cheese and more powdered sugar.

Creamy Spinach

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2010

I made this exactly as the recipes directs, and it was delicious. I wouldn't change a thing. I do recommend using whole nutmeg rather than the pre-ground. One thing you should note is that it only makes 3 servings. I didn't notice that before I made it. When it turned out to be such a small amount, I double-checked the recipe and discovered it only serves 3. I was making this for a large group, so that was kind of a shock, but it was my fault.

Sausage con Queso Dip

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2010

For taste alone, I would have given this a 5 star, but it was too runny. I doubled the recipe and used two cans of Rotel. I drained one of them even though the recipe says "undrained." Next time I will drain them both. I used hot sausage, and one of the cans of Rotel was hot and one was regular. The dip turned out plenty hot enough for us.

Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2010

This was good, but I think it needs more pizzazz....some more spices or something. It's a good starting point. Just keep in mind if you like LOTS of flavor, you need to add more to this recipe.

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2010

I have made this twice now, and we love it. I make it exactly as the recipe instructs, and it turns out perfectly. Obviously, use your own favorite barbeque sauce and Italian dressing.

Slow Cooker Cocktail Smokies

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2010

This was good, but I think 3 hours on high was way too much. The smokies were sort of shriveled and dried out. I would recommend that you cook them on low or at least reduce the cooking time to an hour or so.

Summer Tomato Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2010

The flavor of this dish was very good, but I can only give the recipe a 3 star because when I pulled the pan out of the oven it was half full of watery liquid. It made for a very unappealing presentation. I wonder why no one else had this problem. I followed the recipe exactly. Maybe that result is to be expected, but it ruined the recipe for me.
