Sweet Coated Pecans

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
YUM! This turned out great! A month ago, I had never tried a pecan in my entire life, until we went to a holiday bizarre and a woman gave me a sample of a candied pecan. It was so good, that I wanted to find a similar recipe to make myself. This is it. Fantastic. I took other reviewers' advice and used 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and substituted vanilla extract in place of the water. Thanks for a great recipe!

Aunt Teen's Creamy Chocolate Fudge

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2009
WOW! This fudge is AMAZING! It is so creamy and smooth, and not overly rich either. I followed the recipe exactly, but I took other reviewers' advice about the cook time. After I started timing I stirred constantly for 6 and a half minutes. The mixture looked a bit like gravy. Be sure to have the chocolate chips, nuts, and vanilla measured and ready to go because once you get to that step, you need to work fast. For the nuts, I chose to use walnuts, which were excellent. I was kinda concerned after I combined all the ingredients and was about to put in the pan to cool because it wasn't "pourable". It was like a big chocolatey marshmallow glob, but it was fine. Just smooth it into the pan with your spoon. Thank you so much for this fantistic recipe. This was my first time making fudge and this will be my go-to recipe for years to come. :)

BBQ Pork for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
this is an excellent, simple recipe, and once you find your go-to bbq sauce recipe or brand this will be an all time favorite. i personally like these sandwiches best served cold but are delicious either way.

Red Skinned Potato Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
after following the directions and ingredients as the recipe stated, i changed a few things to my liking. first, the potatoes need to boil for at least 20 minutes, otherwise they are still too raw. i like a lot of eggs in my potato salad, so i actually doubled those. i would also reduce the amount of onions a 1/4 cup and instead of chopped celery I would use a tbsp of celery seed. i ended up using light mayonnaise and more than the recipe calls for. i also used a little miracle whip too. i was surprised it didn't call for any mustard and like this recipe better with 1 tbsp of dijon mustard added. finally, add a dash or two of paprika, garnish with sliced eggs and paprika, and its perfect. this was a good starter recipe for me and i think the red potatoes are key to the classic potato salad taste.

Burgundy Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
this recipe is fantastic! i used boneless pork chops instead of the ternderloin because it was leaner, and used celery seed instead of chopped celery, but this was still excellent. the results kind of smell and look like salsbury steak because of the gravy mixture, but it is excellent. will definately be making this again! thanks for the great recipe!

Spinach Enchiladas

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2009
this was a good recipe. i used less spinach and added some shredded chicken to the recipe, but it was still a bit too much spinach for me and my hubby. for the chicken, i just used a boneless, skinless breast and used a recipe from this site (blackened chicken). i also used hot enchilada sauce and shredded pepper jack instead of montery jack because we like it spicy. will definately make again, but will use less spinach.

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009
Wow! This was great banana bread. It was a painful hour of waiting for the loaves to bake--the smell was making my mouth water! The sour cream makes it very moist without a sour cream taste. I followed the recipe and directions exactly except I covered the loaves with tin foil 20 minutes before they were done baking to prevent the tops from being to well done, and I used only five bananas because one of them had gone bad and I only had six. I also whipped the bananas with a hand mixer, and sprinkled the extra cinnamon-sugar mixture I had left on top of the loaves before putting in the oven. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Cheryl's Spinach Cheesy Pasta Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009
This is a pretty good recipe. My husband said it tasted like "light lasagna". I did make some changes base on other reviewers' suggestions. First, I used penne noodles instead of shells. I thawed the frozen spinach for just 5 minutes by letting it sit on the counter, then sauteed it with minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasonings, and a dash of red pepper flakes. I mixed the bread crumbs with the olive oil and eggs before mixing with the noodles and spinach. For those who said the eggs and bread crumbs sounded odd, you do not taste them they just help to hold everything together. It may go without saying, but use a bowl with a lid to toss the ingredients around in... its much easy to just shake the bowl then to mix all the stuff together with a spoon. For the cheese, I used only 2/3 of the bag of chedder, and 1 and 1/4 bag of mozzerella. I also added 1/4 cup of parmesan. I covered the casserole with greased aluminum foil before putting in the oven and baked for 40 min. After the 40 min., I removed the aluminum foil and baked for an additional 10 minutes and then let it cool on the counter for 15 minutes before serving.

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2009
a little bland, needs more garlic. steak was too chewy, try something more tender or try using a tenderizer. use white rice next time... brown has strange texture.

This recipe ROCKS! I have to admit that I was a little worried with the amount of ketchup that the recipe calls for, but it turned out SO good! Its so easy to make and I love using fresh peppers and onions. I will never go back to Manwich again! Thanks for the great recipe! It will be used many times in our family!

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich with Garlic Mayo

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2009
I made these sandwiches for dinner the other night and they turned out great! I did make a few changes, however. First, I used sirloin steak and I first rubbed it with Montreal steak seasoning and then slow cooked it for a couple hours on high in some Italian dressing, beer, and beef stock. Then, I cut it into thin strips (which is much easier to do after its cooked!) and threw it in a wok with the onions and peppers (I used one red, and one green) with some olive oil, and heated on medium-high heat until the veggies were tender. This was the first time both me and my husband had had Philly cheese steaks and they were great! And I'm sure more healthier than most restaurants' versions! Will definately make these again!

Grandma Johnson's Scones

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2009
When I stumbled apon this recipe, I was actually looking for a blueberry-cream cheese scone recipe, so I knew right away I was going to alter it about. I was worried about putting the cream cheese in with the blueberries, but they turned out fantastic! I followed the instructions posted by one of the top reviewers, as well. When it came time to add the blueberries and cream cheese (I added half of one package), I just used a knife and "cut" them into the dough. Immediately after I pulled them out of the oven, I drizzled with a cream cheese icing which I just stole from one of the cinnamon roll recipes from this site. These were exactly what I was looking for and tasted just like the ones I used to eat from England when I was a kid. Very scrumptious! Thanks for the great recipe, and I look forward to trying other ingredients with this as well!

This cake was okay, but nothing fantastic. I'm not the biggest chocolate cake fan though. Thanks for the recipe anyways! It did fine for our bridal shower.

Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2009
Excellent recipe! I only used the red bell peppers with the chicken on the kabobs and added some minced garlic and onion powder to the marinade. I cooked them on my George Foreman and the were wonderful! Very authentic tasting.

Peanut Butter Chip Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: May 29, 2009
These are good cookies, but I made them for Christmas with a bunch of other kinds of cookies and they weren't as popular as the rest. I think just because the darkness kind of scares people off. They were good though!

Simply Lasagna

Reviewed: May 29, 2009
This is a great recipe that I have used several times. As with any lasanga, the ingredients are a bit pricy so I don't make it too often, but its a treat for me and my husband when I do. The only thing I change is the amount of sauce. I use a half a jar more than what the recipe calls for. Excellent and easy to make! Thanks!
