Premium Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2009
Any recipe that can withstand the torture I dealt this one and still turn out good deserves more than five stars. It was all going well until I covered the dough that I'd half shaped with waxed paper to rest. (Don't do that) The waxed paper stuck, taking half the dough with it, and all attempts to reshape it failed. Good thing it makes two pizzas, right? Wrong. I shaped the second one, then got cocky and tried to move it to the pizza stone without letting it rest. Yeah, don't do that either. Big holes once again. I managed to get one pizza shaped and on the pizza stone somehow, in spite of my obvious incompetence. Long story less long, this makes a great, chewy crust that is as close to pizzeria pizza crust as I've been able to create at home - definitely doesn't have that 'homemade' pizza taste to it. I hope to make it again once I've gotten over this experience. Thanks for the recipe!

Thousand Island Dressing III

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2009
This is fantastic! I left out the green pepper because I didn't have any, but this came out really good. I'll never buy thousand island dressing again!

Ham Salad Spread

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2008
This was my first attempt at making ham salad, and it came out great! I never would have thought to add a hard boiled egg, but it works! I did the whole thing in my food processor, and it couldn't have been easier.

Divine Hard-Boiled Eggs

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2008
Thank you SO much for sharing this cooking method! I so rarely boil eggs that I can never remember how, and this worked perfectly. To anyone having trouble peeling them, pay attention to the "age" of your eggs. If they're too fresh, they'll be nearly impossible to peel, regardless of the method you use to cook them.

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies II

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2008
This is a fantastic, buttery cookie! The only changes I made were to slightly reduce the amount of nuts and to add a cup of dried cranberries. They were absolutely delicious!

Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2008
This is an awesome pumpkin pie, I've never heard of making it with condensed milk! This is my go-to pumpkin pie recipe from now on, hardly 'bland and horrible' IMO. The only change I made was a little extra cinnamon and a tiny bit of ground cloves. Great texture, super easy to make!

Kristen's Awesome Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2008
These are fantastic! The only thing I changed was to use butter-flavored shortening instead of regular, because that's what I had, and I added a bag of cinnamon chips. I made 2 dozen BIG cookies, they're soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, YUM! A really great cookie. BTW, in response to one review, this is most definitely NOT the Quaker Oatmeal Cookie recipe, it's completely different.

Original Chex® Party Mix

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2008
I love this stuff! I have to admit, I had a LOT of misgivings about making it in the microwave, the really brown crunchy parts are my favorite. To my surprise, I still got them! It was SO much quicker than the whole bake for an hour, stir every 15 minutes way, thanks!

Felix K.'s 'Don't even try to say these aren't the best you've ever eaten, because they are' Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2008
I decided to give this one a shot, in spite of my skepticism about the amount of flour - it's more than a cup more than my usual recipe, so I was a little nervous. I followed the recipe exactly, including the (also scary, LOL) 300 degree oven temperature. This is a great cookie for all the chewy CC cookie lovers, I think that's the effect of the additional flour - a chewier cookie. The dough is VERY stiff to work with, my KA didn't like it much. Very tasty cookies, and I'll probably make them again!

Old Fashioned Onion Rings

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2008
These onion rings rock! I honestly didn't find them all that time consuming or difficult to make. I took the one reviewer's advice of doing the flour/batter part in a ziploc bag, and that worked great, really cut down on the messiness! I didn't use the deep fryer, just heated about 1/4" oil in my cast iron skillet. Thanks, I'll be making these again!

Grilled Bacon Jalapeno Wraps

Reviewed: Sep. 1, 2008
We LOVED these, way more than I expected, actually! I made sure to get all the membranes/seeds out, because we really don't like super hot stuff, and they were perfect. I can't believe three simple ingredients could taste so good! I took a previous reviewer's idea and baked them at 425 for 20 minutes, then broiled them for a few minutes to crisp the bacon. I can't wait to make them again!

Garlic Chicken with Orzo Noodles

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2008
I have to give this five stars just for being so fast and easy! It was less than 1/2 hour, start to finish. I did cook the orzo in water with chicken bouillon, just for added flavor, and took the suggestion of the submitter to sub diced tomatoes for the spinach. This is a very versatile recipe, you could make all kinds of changes to the seasonings to suit your own tastes!

Basil Butter

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2008
This was really good! I halved the recipe, and used it to make garlic bread. I spread it on some split Kaiser rolls and baked at 375 until it was nicely browned, it was fabulous!

Feta Cheese Turkey Burgers

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2008
These are absolutely awesome. I followed the recipe exactly, only subbing black olives for kalamata, because that's what I had in the house. The amount of oregano is perfect, IMO. I was VERY leary of not putting any salt in, but I went ahead and left it out, and they were just perfect, so flavorful!

Potato Chips

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2008
These are great! Took me about half an hour start to finish! I used a mandolin AND a peeler, and I think I like the peeler slices better, but the mandolin is easier. I skipped the oil completely, just sprayed the plate and the potato slices with cooking spray. I cooked each batch for 5 minutes and they came out perfectly, really crispy, great texture. Thanks, this couldn't be easier!

Chocolate Banana Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2008
Excellent banana bread recipe! Very moist, and not an overpowering banana OR chocolate flavor. I followed it almost exactly - my only changes were to use unsalted butter instead of margarine, so I added a tsp. of salt, and I didn't have quite a cup of lite sour cream left, so filled up the rest of the cup with nonfat vanilla yogurt. I made 12 regular sized muffins, one mini loaf and one big loaf! This is a BIG recipe, so either halve it if you don't want a lot of bread/muffins, or make sure to use a really big bowl! Next time I may add a tsp. of cinnamon, I think that would be great with this combination of flavors. Thanks for the recipe!

Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2008
This was excellent! If I hadn't made it myself, I would never have guessed that there was ketchup in it. It was a touch spicy for us, so I'll do a little less red pepper next time. It really reminded me of something from the chinese place.

We really loved this. It was so easy to make too! The sauce is nice and light, doesn't overpower the fish at all.
