Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2010

Very good. Next time I would cook the chicken in only the dressing half way before adding the sauce as mine started to burn. Added diced red onion for the last 30 minutes. Made chicken sandwiches the first night and used the leftovers for bbq chicken pizza, it was very yummy! I even froze some of the excess as it makes a ton and it was even better the second time around.

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2010

Good base recipe. I put 4 frozen chicken breasts in the slow cooker with butter and the dressing mix and they shredded easily after 6 hours. When I mixed in the soup and cream cheese I also added garlic powder and onion powder. Next time I would add some mushrooms and onions too.

Thai Pork with Peanut Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2009

Very good! Cooked 3 chops and doubled the sauce as others suggested, glad I did. Think the sauce needed something more, will add garlic and a little kick with some cayenne next time. Also, after cooking the chops will slice them and let simmer in the sauce. Served it over brown rice with some stir fry veggies. Very easy with great results!

Pumpkin Pancakes

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2009

I made this over the weekend. They were good, but per other reviewers, I increased the pumpkin to a whole can and still thought the flavor was not quite strong enough (hence the 4 stars). Also increased all the spices and added pumpkin pie spice. Subbed half whole wheat flour and added nuts. My husband didn't want to try them at first, but ate 4!

Banana Waffles

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2009

I use this recipe as a starting point. Sub half wheat flour. Add 1/2 to 1 extra banana, smashing 1 and slicing the rest. Add cinnamon, add about 1tbsp on brown sugar, and add nuts. This has become a staple weekend breakfast for us.

Shredded Beef for Tacos

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009

I used a 4lb pork roast, beer instead of wine, one can of Mexican hot tomato sauce, and one can of diced tomatoes. Cooked it on low for 8 hours and it fell apart! Shredded it and let it simmer in the liquid for another 2 hours. Added cilantro and onions right before we ate. It was delicious!

Black Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009

Made this last night for dinner and it was very, very good plus easy and quick. I subbed chicken stock for the veggie broth and needed to add more for the rice to fully cook. I added the beans and spices when I added the stock so the beans would cook down a little. I didn't add the cayenne but the flavor was still wonderful.

Greek Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2009

This was easy and quick and very delicious! I marinated the chicken in Greek dressing for a few hours. I used canned tomatoes instead of fresh since that is what I had. Those were my only changes. We both loved it and will make again.

Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2008

Made this last night in the slow cooker according to another reviewers recommendation. I thought it was pretty good, but my husband didn't care for it at all but I think it was the flavor combination and nothing specific to the recipe.

Gramma's Apple Bread Pudding

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2008

Super easy and tastes great! I used week old bread which I let soak up the milk mixture for about 10-15 minutes as per another reviewer. I also subbed walnuts for the raisins and added nutmeg. I did not make the sauce since I took it to work as a morning snack. Everyone loved it!

Black Bean and Salsa Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2008

So simple and so good!! I used a smoky salsa which had great flavor and only blended 1/2 the beans and 1/2 the salsa. Added garlic and used chicken stock, just enough to get the consistency I was looking for. My husband said that he would have liked it to be chunkier, so next time I am going to add some diced tomatoes. Very easy to modify to your own taste.

Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2008

I was very disappointed with the results. I made it with chicken and added vegetable and cut down on the red pepper and it was very, very bland. My husband thought we should try it again and let the chicken marinate in the sauce but after eating the leftovers for lunch today, I don't think it's worth making again. It was very simple though.

Hot Bacon Dressing

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2008

Served this last night over a simple spinach salad and really enjoyed it. I cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup and subbed cider vinegar. I did not add salt since bacon is already salty enough for us. I used a bit of the bacon grease for flavoring and sprinkled the bacon on the salad rather than mixed in the dressing. It was very simple and will use again. May try it with balsamic vinegar next time.

Cream Filled Cupcakes

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2008

I am only rating the filling, used boxed devil's food cake mix. The filling was delicious! I iced the cupcakes with the Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Frosting recipe from this site. They've been getting rave reviews from everyone!

Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008

We loved it!! I doubled the sauce (except for chili paste, kept that the same), used whole-wheat spaghetti, ground ginger (didn't have fresh) and added broccoli, carrots, and water chestnuts. Next time will added some chicken. It was so quick and easy....great weeknight meal. Thanks!

Coconut Ice Cream

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008

I made this two nights ago and my only complaint is that it didn't harden enough in the ice cream maker. Put the leftovers in the freezer and last night is was wonderful! Next time I may add a little more cream and milk cause the coconut was a bit strong for us, but that is more of a personal preference than anything. Thanks for the easy, great tasting recipe!

Charley's Slow Cooker Mexican Style Meat

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2008

I was really excited to try this, but disappointed in the results. I made it according to the recipe the first time and all you could taste was the hot sauce (used tabasco, maybe that was the problem). Made it again and cut back on the hot sauce added cumin and some other spices and it is pretty bland. It's pretty easy, but looking for more flavor.

Brooklyn Girl's Penne Arrabiata

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2008

I breaded the chicken and baked it. The only other changes were reduced the amount of red pepper (still a bit spicy for me but the guys loved it) and onion and mushrooms. Very good and very easy. Great quick weeknight meal.

Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: May 25, 2008

Made this last night to top a carrot cake. Only thing I changed was used powdered sugar instead of regular. We loved it! The flavor was great, not too sweet, and the texture was light and fluffy. My husband's only complaint was that it was too fluffy for carrot cake, but will use again. Would be a good cupcake frosting.

Banana Pancakes I

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2008

I chopped up the bananas instead of mashing them, subbed half wheat flour, and added vanilla. Next time I may add some chopped nuts as well. These were very good but only giving it a 4 cause we prefer my father-in-law's.
