This also makes a great alternative to spinach dip when you add parmesan cheese. I did not have any cream of celery soup so I found a recipe and made my own. It was easy and my husband loved it. Much less fat than traditional creamed spinach or spinach dip.

Mashed Potato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2007

This was delicious and easy. I increased the onion a little and cut the amount of milk back to 1 1/2 cups. I also added a stalk of sliced celery and a clove of pressed garlic. I sauted the celery and garlic with the onion. My husband loved it!

Eileen's Spicy Gingerbread Men

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2007

I just made these with my granddaughter and they turned out great. The only thing I will change in the future is a little less salt. I did increase the cinnamon to 1 tsp as suggested in another review. I would suggest to those who had problems with the dough to just roll the cookies out directly on the baking sheet and pull away the excess dough using a table knife to push it away in the close places. You are using an ungreased cookie sheet so it does not affect the dough and this is much easier than trying to move them once they are cut out. You can also chill less time if you do it this way.

BBQ Pork for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2006

I used this recipe to make country style ribs for a large group. I cooked them in aluminum pans covered with aluminum foil in the oven. I started them at 400 degrees until they got hot then turned them down to 300. Instead of pulling them apart I cut them into serving sized pieces. They were a huge hit with my crowd.

Pressure Cooker Beef Stew

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2006

I used this recipe as the basis but I changed/added several things. I dredged the meat in seasoned flour before browning and I used beef broth insead of bouillon. I also added 3 whole cloves of garlic, fresh ground pepper and salt to taste, and 2 teaspoons of Worcheshire. I cooked all this for 10 minutes, cooled it down and added the potatoes and some green peas. I then cooked it for another 10 minutes. I think I cooked it too high toward the end because it began to burn slightly, but it did not affect the taste. It was delicious and fast.

Microwave Chocolate Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2006

I have been making chocolate pies like this for years. It also works for coconut (leave off the chocolate and add coconut, sprinkling coconut on the meringue). The only difference in this recipe and mine is that I use 1 cup of sugar and 6 T of cocoa along with 3T flour and 1 1/2 T cornstarch. This makes a little more filling and I like the texture better than using just cornstarch for thickening. I also use a wire whisk to stir.

Really Basic Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2004

Excellent cookie for low carb dieters. Just use 1/2 cup sugar (or splenda if you want it to be really low carb) and 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips and you have a delicious rich chocolate chip cookie.

Nutty Pecan Waffles

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2004

These waffles were easy and delicious. I think next time I will add the nuts to the batter rather than sprinkling on top. The nuts tended to stay in the middle and were not well distributed when done as directed.

Smoked Salmon Spread

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2004

Easy and delicious!! My two favorite words. I had some smoked Salmon we brought back from Alaska and wanted to use it in a spread like some we tasted while we were there. This was very close. Good on crackers or celery. My husband loved it!!

Easy and Elegant Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2003

This was too easy!!! Got rave reviews from my family. I used less of the breadcrumbs and it was still excellent. My breadcrumbs were very flavorful. I imagine it would not be as good if you do not use very high quality breadcrumbs with lots of herbs. I also did not have the burning problem that some had but I did have to cook it 55 minutes instead of the 35.

Best Peanut Butter Cookies Ever

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2003

I am on a low carb diet so I used about 1/3 the sugar called for and added 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. They are a wonderful treat with very few carbs. Thanks, Sandy.

Chili con Carne I

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2003

I fixed this recipe for my church and everyone loved it. It is not too spicy nor is it too mild. It was also very easy. My pots would only hold 1/3 of the recipe so I changed it to 33 servings. That way I knew just how much to put in each pot.

Awesome Broccoli-Cheese Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2003

This was a very quick and easy broccoli dish. My two year old granddaughter could not get enough. She kept saying "more brocci, more brocci".

Passover Chocolate Chip Meringues

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2003

I made these and followed the recipe exactly. I left them in the oven overnight but they were so chewy you could not eat them. I removed them from the oven, turned the oven back on and repeated the process again for 2 hours. This did the trick and they were nice and crisp. Way too salty though. Next time I will either leave the salt out or use only a dash.

Apple Butter Pork Loin

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2003

I used this recipe on boneless pork chops and it got rave reviews. It is very easy to prepare and presents nicely. I have no doubt that it will be great using tenderloin as well.
