Easy and Quick Cream Cheese Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009
It was really good but nothing spectacular. I had to add milk to make it less dry. Will probably use again.

Basil Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2009
This was delicious. I added 4 tsp of dried basil leaves and then pureed the soup when it was done to give it a creamy consistency. I think it would be just as good with milk and served with a crunchy bread. Mmm.

Hearty Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009
This was great! My two year old even ate it! I added a can of black beans for some extra nutrients. Added just 1/3 c rice and used my whole carton of broth (4 cups). I added a can of green chiles along with my can of corn because I didn't have the corn w/ peppers. I was also missing the cilantro :( It was still delicious but I'm sure it would've been even better with some extra cilantro!

Pumpkin Cheesecake II

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
DON'T leave out the whipping cream! The first time I made it I made three changes: fresh pumpkin, 1/2 c brown w/ 1/4 c white sugar, and added a simple topping (1/2 c pecans, 1/3 c brown sugar, 1-2 T butter). It was the most delicious cheesecake I've ever tasted. The second time we forgot to add the whipping cream. 2T doesn't seem like much but the cheesecake was 1/2 as tall. Instead of firming up at 3 in tall, it was 1-1/2 inches. So USE THE WHIPPING CREAM!

Red Sauce Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Nov. 16, 2009
I LOVE these enchiladas. I've shared this recipe with a few friends who don't use Allrecipes.com and they say these are delicious as well. Pretty simple and straight forward directions. Definitely a keeper. To cut down on time you can boil the chicken breasts first.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
I've made them this way for years. My husband grew up hating brussel sprouts until I made them this way for him. I also add garlic sometimes. This is also how I convinced my husband to eat asparagus. Works for those too :)

Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
Puree your fresh pumpkin! The flavor was good but I read somewhere that you can just mash your fresh pumpkin. WRONG. The texture of my pie was spongy and stringy- I'm assuming because I didn't puree it. Flavor was pretty good. I did substitute allspice for the nutmeg.

Sweet-and-Sour Pork

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009
I had leftover pork loin I wanted to use up and this was PERFECT for that. I skipped the first step of cooking the pork and I divided the sauce mix in half (since I skipped the first step). I added 1/4 c pineapple juice and there was plenty of sauce and plenty of flavor. I started out by sauteing the pepper and onions until they had a soft crunch. Then I added the cubed pork, ginger, garlic, and sauce. I didn't have any carrots but this was still DELICIOUS!

Beef-Stuffed Squash

Reviewed: Oct. 9, 2009
It is like having meatloaf in a squash. However, it is amazing how these flavors blend so well! Who knew a sweet meatloaf would be good with squash?! My whole family thought it was pretty good, especially considering it was using two dishes that aren't my favorites.

Sylvia's Ribs

Reviewed: Jul. 5, 2009
Delicious! Guests said it's better than The Outback's ribs!! I halved the recipe with same amount of ribs and still had plenty leftover. Made for a freezer meal group. I did initial boil for 1 hr and then cut up spareribs, placed in Ziploc, poured in sauce and froze. Freezing didn't change the flavor at all and letting them thaw gave them some time to marinate in it.

Balsamic Roasted Pork Loin

Reviewed: May 5, 2009
Mmmm I loved it! It gave a little bit of a steak flavor while still having a healthier piece of meat. I took it out at 145F and it was THE BEST pork loin I've made. SUPER tender! It was even good as a cold leftover the next day (my power went out). I had it marinate for 24 hrs. Served with roasted asparagus and mashed potatoes. Mmm mmm mmmmmmm.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake I

Reviewed: May 5, 2009
This recipe tasted great! I followed the advice of others and cut sugar to 2.5 cups, reduced almond extract to 1/2 tsp., and used 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla. Used strictly cake flour and baked in a Bundt pan. Many reviews suggested beating this cake to death. If you want a dense pound cake, don't over beat it! My cake was more spongy because I beat it so much, similar to angel food cake/pound cake cross.

Apple Butter Pork Loin

Reviewed: Apr. 30, 2009
I made this for a freezer meal group and used an apple butter recipe from this site. It had great flavor. Just watch the temperature of the pork loin Mine got really dry after cooking very quickly in the slow cooker.

All Day Apple Butter

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2009
I used 1/2 Granny Smith and 1/2 Braeburn apples. I used 3 cups of sugar and had a little less than 6 pounds of apples. Next time I'll use 1-2 cups of sugar because the apples had great flavor alone! FYI: THIS RECIPE YIELDS 5 CUPS.

Turkey in a Bag

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2009
This was so simple! The turkey was incredibly moist and full of flavor. My turkey was 10.5 lbs and cooked in 2 hrs. The meat was falling off the bone. Mmmm I don't think I'll make turkey any other way! Thanks for the suggestion!

Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2008
This was pretty good. I would definitely recommend making the sauce thicker and spooning it over the slices. The flavor is VERY mild if you don't do this. We had it with stuffing which seemed to be the perfect side! I also used the whole berry cranberry sauce.

Grandma Johnson's Scones

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2008
These had great flavor and great texture! Definitely don't take these out of the oven before they have a golden brown crust around the edge. I took my first batch out before that point and they were doughy. I had to throw out my first batch. I also recommend beating the egg before mixing with dry ingredients just to ensure it blends well.

Baked Corn I

Reviewed: Sep. 9, 2008
I'm 7 months pregnant and was craving the sweet corn tomatilo from Chevy's. After reading the reviews this sounded very similar. I actually didn't like this much. I think it needs to be sweeter. I may make this again and add sugar. I'll probably 1/2 the recipe. A 9x13 is A LOT for my husband and I.

Lemon Sponge Pudding

Reviewed: Sep. 2, 2008
This had good flavor. I didn't have ramekins but I had glass custard bowls. I guess they held more than a ramekin would because it took an extra 20 minutes to cook. The tops had browned without having the knife come out clean. The texture was just ok, a little liquidy. So my recommendation is if you don't have ramekins, make sure you measure out exactly 6 oz in each dish.
