Creamy Spinach Tortellini

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2010

Average, average. Used neuchatel cheese and threw some garlic in, also halfed the sauce and there was still plenty. Rather than using frozen spinach I used fresh and threw it in with the onion/garlic to cook (also threw the mushrooms in early to cook down a bit). Put a pour of white wine in toward the end, but this really didn't do much for me. Bland, and I think there are much better pasta recipes that are just as quick.

Mashed Potatoes with Fried Mushroom, Bacon, and Onion

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2010

Ridiculously good ... but I added more butter and Ranch than called for, plus a small pour of whole milk and some leftover creme fraiche. Hubby said they were the best mashed potatoes he'd ever had.

Butter Lamb Gravy

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2010

I thought this was just ok ... doubled the sauce, quadrupled the garam masala, and used chicken stock instead of water. Still thought it was bland though and could use a little more kick. It gets points for ease and quickness though ... I'll probably make again, but play with it. Golden raisins could be a good addition.

Overnight Blueberry French Toast

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2010

I was in a rush and didn't have time to read any of the reviews so I made the recipe as-is. Absolutely delicious, I especially enjoyed the syrup. I probably added more blueberries than called for and I used brioche for the bread, but the only comment I have is that I was a little concerned about the amount of eggs ... it seemed like there was a lot of liquid-bread ratio. It turned out lovely though, with a sort of custard-like consistency. I still might decrease the eggs a little next time.

Roasted Butternut Squash and Garlic Lasagna

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009

Oh wow. I was unsure what to think of this recipe as I made it, but it turned out incredible. Made recipe as written, except added a bit more flour and some nutmeg to the sauce. Had everything ready to go, but then realized I had somehow managed to forget to add about a 1/4 of the squash to the sauce. Not wanting to waste, I sprinkled the remaining squash over the top and put some slices of mozz over the top. UNBELIEVABLE. OH, also added crumbled bacon to the two layers (hubby hates anything without meat). Will definitely make again.

Torte Melange

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009

I wanted to like this, but something just wasn't quite right ... it was best right out of the oven, the leftovers were unappealing to me. Won't make again.

Byrdhouse Marinated Tomatoes and Mushrooms

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2009

I want to get into this recipe, and have made it twice now, but I don't understand all the amazing reviews. Yes, it's super easy and tasty, but it doesn't blow me away. Perhaps this is because I'm not the biggest fan of raw mushrooms, but I would like to try this as written and then saute.

Blueberry Peach Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2009

These were awesome! Used buttermilk, and increased the amount b/c the dough seemed a little dry and we live at altitude. Just put blobs of the buttery/sugar mixture on top of the muffins before they baked, and they were so, so good. Will absolutely make again.

Todd's Famous Blueberry Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2009

I had high hopes for these, but they didn't really do it for me. I followed the recipe exactly, but they didn't blow me away at all. Perhaps this is due to my living at altitude, which tends to mess with things in general, but I'll keep looking.

Potato Cheese Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2009

I've made this a couple times now and it's pretty good ... always omit the pimentos (not our thing).

Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2009

This was pretty good, but I was not blown away. Followed recipe as directed but reduced salt, and marinated three chicken breasts instead of kababs for about 2 hours. Poured everything into a baking dish and then baked at 425 for about 20 minutes. The chicken was tasty, and we scooped up the extra sauce in the dish to put over rice, which was really good. Easy quick weeknight meal.

The Old Boy's Strawberry Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2009

Fabulous, but I did make some changes. I made a cream cheese crust, and then used the oatmeal streusel topping as suggested by another reviewer. For the strawberries, I added juice from a lemon and lemon zest, and then once I put the filling in, I decided more was needed so I added a cup of blueberries just over the top before I added the streusal - baked as directed and the result was an absolute winner!!

Caramelized Onions

Reviewed: Jun. 18, 2009

These were awesome. I was slightly worried about the reviews talking about them being too molasses-y, but I went for it and followed the recipe as is. So glad I did because these onions were fantastic. Put them on homemade chipotle burgers on fresh onion buns with monterey jack cheese, roasted red peppers (also sauteed in the bacon fat), mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Seriously best homemade burger EVER.

Fresh Tomato Shrimp Pasta

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009

I wanted to like this, but I just didn't think it had any flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, but since I felt it was so bland I added shaved pecorino romano half way through - always a good addition.
