Andouille and Chicken Creole Pasta

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2006

I would say if you used a homemade version of Creole spice without salt this would be great. But, as is, it is too salty.

I cheated and used a can of apple pie filing because it was all I had on hand. Everyone LOVED it!!! Great fast dessert. Easy to keep all ingredients on hand for that last minute request or suprise guest. I'll make other apple crisp, but because of ease, this one is a keeper!!!

Chicken Tortilla Soup I

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2006

This soup was good. For some reason I just felt like it needed a can of med enchilada sauce. That added a bit more spice to the soup. For those of you who can't find hominy...look in the Mexican food section of your grocery store. However, I don't think the hominy was all that prevalent in the soup. You can leave it out and not miss it. Well, unless you love hominy.

Smothered Beef Short Ribs

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2006

I made this with the short ribs. If you make it with a "better quality of meat" you will be making runny beef stew. If the fat is a big problem for you, let the dish sit overnight in the fridge and then skim the fat off the next day. I do agree with other reviewers, there was way too much liquid. I would only add four cups of broth, not eight. Served the dish over Trader Joe's Garlic Mashed Potatoes. All-in-all, something I made once and enjoyed, but will probably never make again.

Gary's Stuffed Mushrooms

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2006

These were a big hit at my luncheon. However, I must not have understood what was meant by large mushrooms. I had a lot of stuffing left over. I'm going to use it to stuff chicken tomorrow for dinner (got the idea from another reviewer.) Also, used one cup of butter and not two. It was plenty.

Rich and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2006

If you're looking for a soup to serve company, this is it. Perfection!! I did add two chopped cloves of garlic. Only because I love garlic.

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2006

My husband hates cauliflower...hates it, hates it, hates it. He loves this dish. For our own personal taste (husband likes it soft), we cook cauliflower in the micro a bit before we put in the oven.

Classy Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2006

Good dish, however, one that we made and enjoyed, but would not make again. It would be great for company. Make extra sauce and serve over garlic mashed potatoes.

Stovetop Pork Chops and Potatoes

Reviewed: May 18, 2006

Good flavor. Next time I will not cut my potatoes so thin and stir them during cooking. It looked more like cream of potato soup when the dish was finished. Might try again and add more veggies.

Layered Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2006

I changed this from four stars to five. I have made this several times. It's great for lunch the next day! My husband and I enjoyed this dish. I was craving Mexican food and it hit the spot. For my own personal taste I used 1/2 medium enchilada sauce and 1/2 hot enchilada sauce. Used light sour cream. Will make again.

Chicken Enchiladas V

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2006

For my own personal taste I added red enchilada sauce to the soup mixture. Also, used whole wheat tortillas, 98% FF soup and light sour cream. My husband loved this dish and said it was company worthy.

Garlic Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2006

Chicken had a nice flavor. My guest thought it would have been great to have had cheese sauce served over the chicken. The crust was a little dry.

Suki's Spinach and Feta Pasta

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2006

For my own personal taste, I left out the tomato. Added a little milk to keep the dish from drying out. Served with garlic chicken (from this site) and my guest enjoyed it.

Asiago Dip with Crostini

My guest loved this dip. I thought it was okay. Used sun dried tomatoes, have no idea what "sprinkles" are.

Tuna Noodle Casserole II

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2006

My husband gave this 10 stars!! Because others stated the potato chips got soggy, I used crushed crackers and french fried onions. Also, used cheddar cheese. Going in the "make again file."

Italian Sausage Soup

Fantastic!!! Used Turkey Italian Sausage and tasted great. My husband and I loved this soup. Because we love spice, next time I’ll use hot Italian Turkey Sausage.

Pork Chops Stuffed with Smoked Gouda and Bacon

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2006

Used a Rachael Ray trick and instead of buying thick chops, bought thin, stacked them and secured with tooth picks. This dish did not have the smoke cheese flavor we were looking for. Maybe we were expecting something else. Everyone else loved this dish. To us, it is something we tried and will not make again.
