Restaurant Style Chicken Nachos

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2008

Really good & different. I halved the recipe & only used 1 teaspoon of oil. I used the microwave instead of heating the oven. I added sliced jalapenos and sour cream. Loved the addition of green onions.

Best Spanish Rice

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2008

This was delicious. The only adjustment I made was to use Rotel in place of the salsa. My husband is not a big spanish rice fan, and he had two helpings!Wonderful recipe, and I thought reviewer Karen H gave some very helpful tips. Thanks for sharing your great recipe, ilovetocook!

Potato and Cheese Frittata

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2008

I made this using one potato and 7 eggs and a combo of butter & olive oil. I used dried onions and onion powder instead of an onion and sprinkled parmesan, mozzarella & colby-jack cheese on top. Made a very nice dinner with homemade toasted bread & a jello salad.

Jenny's Black Forest Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2008

I made this into cupcakes, and it was tender, moist, & delicious--not too sweet & very chocolatey. I will definitely try it as a layer cake, using the cherries.

Orange Spice Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2008

This was very good--very much like gingerbread in taste & texture. My only changes were that I doubled the recipe, used dark corn syrup (I was out of molasses), and I added a little salt & a little extra sugar. Didn't use the orange marmalade glaze. Next time I'll definitely use molasses, because I think it adds depth and richness. Great recipe!

Hard Chocolate Glaze

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2008

After I saw a photo by misserin13, who used this glaze for cupcakes made with Dark Chocolate Cake I, I had to try it. The glaze is everything that previous reviewers raved about. It sets up to a beautiful, shiny, firm but not crackly, and delicious, but not-too-sweet glaze. I combined squares of semi-sweet chocolate with milk chocolate chips, and I used a mix of salted & unsalted butter.

Hot Fudge Sauce II

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2008

Although I modified the recipe by using bittersweet chocolate chips, brown sugar, and half & half, it made a smooth, chocolatey, just-thick-enough sauce--perfect for our vanilla bean ice cream. Thanks for sharing your Mom's recipe, Erin, and I'd be interested in your recipe for "Eskimo Pie Delight"!

Awesome Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2008

An easy & un-messy way to make grilled cheese. I used Light Oat Bread from this site and Tillamook cheddar cheese. I liked the different kind of crispiness that baking lends to the sandwich, and the cheese melted nicely with some little drips off the side of the bread--YUM!

Light Oat Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2008

I was looking for an oatmeal bread recipe when I saw JennyAnn's beautiful photo and that made my decision easy! I made the recipe manually instead of in a bread machine; other than that I didn't change a thing. My loaf looks very similar to the photo, and the taste is delicious. The oats give the crust a nice crunch and add a nuttiness to the flavor. This is a really nice recipe!

Peppermint Brittle

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2008

Easiest candy ever! I used a combo of white chocolate & almond bark. I took the advice of other reviewers & used the bigger pieces on top & mixed the "dust" into the melted white chocolate. I'd like to try it with a semi-sweet layer as others did. Makes a very nice gift any day of the year but especially at Christmas.

Crabbies

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2007

I haven't made these in ages, and I had forgotten how good they are! All I could find at the store today was garlic cheese in the 6 oz tube, so I used 5 oz of that, and I subbed butter for the margarine. Before broiling them, I baked for about 5 minutes in a 425 oven on the lowest rack, just to crisp up the bottom. I think it would be even better with the sharp cheese as stated in the recipe, but we couldn't stop eating them!

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2007

I made this for a neighbor and for convenience used cream soup instead of making the roux and added about a half cup of sour cream at the end. I had a taste and gave my Mom a tiny bowl, and she declared it the best chicken soup ever--now I need to make it for us!

Pumpkin Honey Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2007

Very rich & yummy. I used Pumpkin Honey from Flying Bee Ranch and subbed eggnog for the liquid, so the flavor was a little different than the traditional pumpkin pie. Also the texture was a tad more substantial than usual. We really enjoyed it.

Chicken or Turkey Tetrazzini

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2007

We really liked this dish. I used leftover turkey & followed the suggestions of previous reviewers & added ham, sour cream, & parmesan. I only had one can of mushroom soup, so I made a white sauce with cream cheese. I had to put this in a 12X18 pan because it made tons. After we stuffed ourselves, I froze 2 dinner-sized portions. It's a good recipe because you can do so much with it, plus it tasted great!

Apple Crumb Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2007

I left out the walnuts & raisins, and this was a good apple pie, just not the best I've had. The crumble didn't crisp up much for me, and (believe or not!) I thought it was a little too sweet. I still managed to eat 2 pieces--all in the name of research, of course.

Golden Pumpkin Rolls

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2007

I love the spices in these rolls--they are perfect with the pumpkin but not overpowering. I subbed cardamom for the cloves and threw in a dash of cinnamon. I didn't read the recipe right and only used one package of yeast, so the rolls were a little dense. I will make another batch tomorrow (using the correct amount of yeast!) & freeze them for our Thanksgiving dinner.

Tater Tot Bake

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2007

This was good, comforting, man-food--my husband loved it. I thought it was surprisingly tasty. I added half a red bell pepper and 8 oz of American cheese. I just mixed everything together, put the tots on the bottom of the baking pan, and poured the beef/soup/cheese mixture on top. An extra sprinkle of cheese and buttered bread crumbs made a nice crust. I served this with Buttery Cooked Carrots and Michelle's Famous Washed Cranberry Sauce, from this site.

Buttery Cooked Carrots

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2007

I loved these carrots--the simple ingredients and cooking method made them nutty and slightly sweet with just a tiny crunch. I used 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter. Great recipe!

Michelle's Famous Washed Cranberry Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2007

This is a good recipe--not too sweet, and I like the combo of white & brown sugar. I always cook my cranberries until they pop & the sauce thickens, so that takes far longer than 5 minutes. I thought the sauce tasted a little acidic, so I added a teaspoon of vanilla, and that made all the difference for me.

Pecan Pear Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2007

I made this as a cake in an 8 X 3 cake pan, and we loved it. A little like apple cake in texture but a more delicate taste. The cardamom is the perfect touch--it really makes the cake. I used 2 Bosc pears, and the only change I made was to use plain yogurt instead of sour cream. I will definitely include this excellent recipe in my holiday bread baking!
