Sausage Gravy I

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2004

Fabulous!! I used pre-cooked links cut up in a pinch and butter instead of bacon grease, & it was still very flavorful. I served it over hashbrowns.

I used chicken instead of veal. I found it to be a bit bland w/ just salt and pepper, but I do love a thin breast in a crunchy coating like this. This recipe definately has potential w/ a little spicing up. It was a good basic fried chicken cutlet recipe.

My Crab Cakes

Reviewed: May 15, 2004

I sauteed chopped onions and peppers(no green onions in), used less than half the crackers, doubled the mayo, & since no bay seasoning, added some basil, celery seed, parsley, dill weed, lemon juice & a good dash of worchershire sauce. I eased up on the cayenne pepper slightly, & mixed everything well B4 adding the lump crabmeat gently. Only needed half cup of bread crumbs. Delicious, crabby, flavorful, & moist!! (Didn't even use a condiment!!)

Sugar Cookie Drops

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2004

Absolutely delicious!!! I am a huge sugar cookie fan too. I cut the recipe in half and followed it exactly, other than doubling the vanilla as others suggested. The dough was very easy to work with without refridgerating! These were perfect in my oven in 11 minutes.

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2004

I halved the recipe and used all butter instead of shortening & 2 tsp. white vinegar in place of 1 tsp. crm of tartar since I didn't have any. As others, I lowered temp to 375 & took out in 8 min. when they still look light and just starting to crack on the surface. Resulted in a somewhat dry, soft, cake-like cookie. I think better results(crispier) would be w/ exact recipe. Still Yummy!!

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2004

I used green peppers for half the onion & a third cup of milk, garlic powder, swiss & cheddar cheese I had which I floured w/ 2 tbsp. flour. Was very tastey but a bit heavy/dense for quiche. Replacing a cup of cheese and an egg w/ 8 oz. sour cream or plain yogurt, baking at 375 for 45min- an hr. would give it a lighter, creamier texture.

Fluffy French Toast

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2004

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Another winner/keeper!!! The flour has always been the missing ingredient to the perfect French Toast Ty Ty!!! I scaled recipe down to "8" & used reg sandwich bread and it just did 6 pieces not 8, but I used half and half w/ a lil water(no milk in) & a lil less than recipe called for cause I like an eggier coating. I also went heavy on Cinnamon and added a lil Nutmeg to taste. Fabulous! I really must insist you try!!

Yorkshire Pudding

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2003

I used drippings from a pork roast & some bacon grease & cut recipe in half which called for 1 & a half eggs. I used 2 & I used half and half(out of milk) FYI - Preated drippings at 400 for 15 min and they began to burn. Other than that and being a bit too salty from the pork drippings, it could have been great! Next time I will use beef drippings and heat them for less time. TY for the recipe!!

Scrambled Eggs a la Jan

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2003

Freaking awesome. I never had anything like it. I overdid the wine a bit but still delicious!! Always use decent drinking wine to cook never use cooking wine as its way salty and makes a huge difference in taste.

Bermuda Spinach Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2003

The dressing is fabulous. I followed the suggestions and cut the sugar in half and used balsamic vinager and a red onion, shaking it instead of using the blender. Definitely use less spinach and you will have extra dressing left as well. Ty so much for sharing this delicious recipe!!

Outback Onion Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2003

It is like Outback's! I use red onion and scale the recipe down for 2(enough for 3 or 4) Sometimes I use half chicken broth. I add a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce & white wine or sherry in w/the salt & pepper and half the flour! Make sure your water is very cold when you make the roux and add it to the soup slowly as you wisk to help reduce lumps. I also used sharp cheddar cheese and another time used half american and the next half swiss. Very, very delicious!! Will definitely continue to make again and again...4 times so far!! TY!!

Swiss Cheesy Cauliflower

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2003

I found this to be very bland and I even added diced onions, Worcestershire sauce and mustard! It didn't seem to need the flour and milk as this took away from the cheesiness. Sorry, this one is just not a keeper.

Wild Mushroom Stuffing

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2003

Used rosemary bread from our machine and button mushrooms, subbed waterchestnuts for celery and red onions for leeks, added 1/2tsp. minced garlic, halved thyme and sage. Mushrooms cooked in white & red wine/broth reduction. I diced up 1 can of pears to add at end and used wine/broth reduction to moisten. I don't think I ever had better stuffing/dressing!! It was absolutely delicious...can't imagine if I had wild shrooms!!! I'm not fond of the texture of the dried thyme and rosemary "needles"...will grind them up better next time. TY for the fabulous recipe!!

Bread Pudding II

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2003

I added 1/16 tsp. nutmeg, increased butter to 3 tbsp., used 1/2 milk & 1/2 heavy cream, decreased cinnamon to 1/2 a tsp since I used cinnamon bread from bread machine(removed crusts), added 1/4 cup brown sugar, and omitted the raisens. Was way too wet and dense and rich for me. I'll use 1 less egg and only 1/2 cup cream & 2 tbsp. of butter, decrease the brown sugar to 1/8 of a cup & add 1/4 tsp. nutmeg next time.

Hearty Tuna Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2003

I increased the mayo & sour crm. since I was out of milk and I was out of cheese and I used only 1 can of tuna since I am not a big fan. I also added garlic & chili powder, lemon pepper and juice, & a bit of cayenne pepper. I used canned peas and cut green beans instead of zucchini since that is what I had on hand, waterchestnuts instead of celery and reg. onions instead of green then I topped it generously w/bread crumbs and dots of butter. Baked it covered 20 min and uncovered 15 min. Delicious!!! (Even w/ NO CHEESE!!!) I will make this again and again!!!!

Great Hot Crab Dip

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2003

I made some changes since I didn't have prepared horseradish or cocktail sauce or almonds in. LOL I highly recommend what I came up with! Absolutely delicious!! Saute 1/3 cup diced onions and peppers in 2tbsp. butter, add 1 minced clove of garlic after when they are soft. Add a good splash of lemon juice and worstershire sauce, 1-2 oz white wine & sherry, reduce, add cream cheese. Stir as it melts, add 1 tbsp.mayo, 3pieces of toasted bread(no crusts) ripped into crumbs, cayenne and black pepper,salt,tabaco,chili powder,more worsteshire and lemon juice. Gently fold in 1 can of lump crab. Grease small shallow dish, sprinkle w/ lemon juice and reg. bread crumbs, dot w/ butter. 350 degrees covered for 20min., uncover another 10min. or till top is toasty brown. This definitely made up for my missing flavor ingredients!! Could be eaten as a main dish even.
