Salmon with Dill

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2011

Excellent!! I used all ingredients as listed but just eyeballed the amounts. Served it with Dijon Tartar Sauce from this site (also excellent).

We really like this sauce! Rather than fat-free mayo I used Hellman's/Best Foods Canola Mayo because that's what I have on hand. Since I didn't have a lemon I used an 1/8 tsp. of lemon pepper. Mine didn't come out runny as some other reviewers mentioned and I'm guessing it's because I didn't use lemon juice.

Mom's Barbeque Style Turkey

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2011

This was a great way to use up the last of the Thanksgiving turkey! My young kids thought it was a variation of my BBQ pork and I didn't argue because they ate it up. (They aren't big fans of turkey.) A nice change from a white/cream soup based recipe. I left out the green peppers (knew they wouldn't go over well with the under 9 crowd) and then substituted one Tbs. molasses and 2 Tbs. white sugar for the brown sugar (because I didn't realize I was out until I went for the sugar). Thank you!

Awesome and Easy Creamy Corn Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2011

Made this as a side dish for Thanksgiving and it went over really well!! I followed the recipe exactly. I gave it four stars because I think it does need an addition of something (as another reviewer suggested) - for a spot of color and additional flavor - mixed in.

Polish Sausage Kraut Skillet

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2011

Great one skillet meal! Used ALL the ingredients with just a few minor "amount" changes. My family loves sausage so I doubled the amount. Used about twice the sugar because the can of kraut I used was very vinegar-y. Used half the amount of sour cream which still gave it a nice creamy texture. A winner at our house!

Peppered Shrimp Alfredo

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2011

Loved this! Enough that my husband asked when I was planning on making it again as he finished off the leftovers at dinner last night. I followed the recipe except for a few minor changes... I used Parmesan instead of Romano cheese, whole milk instead of cream, and added steamed fresh broccoli near the end instead of the mushrooms (only because I didn't have the exact ingredients on hand). I also chose to use red pepper flakes (a heaped 1/4 tsp.) instead of the cayenne pepper just because I like how the flakes look in a white sauce. Like I said, a definite winner for us! I plan on trying it with the mushrooms next time. :o)

Uglies

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2011

My son (8 years old) enjoyed helping me make these as well as he enjoyed eating them as did the rest of the family! I've seen these called Barbecups in a Pillsbury cookbook. Very easy and tasty!

Spinach Enchiladas

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2011

I decided to make this recipe because I do a vegetarian or fish dish one to two times a week. I wasn't sure of putting spinach with corn tortillas... it was good!! I didn't have green onions so I used an equal amount of chopped yellow onions. Thank you!

Heavenly Halibut

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2011

My family loved this dish! I've always got these topping ingredients on hand so it'll become one of my go-to recipes. I have tilapia in the freezer so that'll be the fish I'll use next time - which will be next week!

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2011

A Ukranian friend who regularly makes cabbage rolls gave me this tip: soften the cabbage by boiling the whole head of cabbage in a stockpot. Have the stem end sticking up and as the leaves soften cut each one off using a sharp knife and lay onto a paper towel to cool. It's easy and works great! To the tomato soup I added a can of diced tomatoes to make it more "saucier". Instead of all beef, I used meatloaf mix. Tasty comfort food!!!

Tex-Mex Enchiladas

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2011

I decided to try this recipe because I needed a QUICK and EASY enchilada recipe... I'm very glad I did. I'll admit I was skeptical because my usual enchilada recipes are a bit more time and ingredient comsuming but well worth the effort. I made just two changes... First, I used Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans (because that is what I had). Second, I wrapped the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwaved them until pliable. Because I softened the tortillas that way, I added the chili powder into the sauce mixture. Not a lot of work for an enjoyable dish!!

The Real Reuben

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2011

While at the supermarket the other day I wasn't sure what to make for dinner but then got the idea for Reuben sandwiches. So I bought all the ingredients I thought I'd need. When I got home I hopped onto AR just to make sure I had everything right. I didn't think I'd ever follow an actual recipe for a sandwich but after reading the reviews I did follow a few of the suggestions... I pre-heated the cookie sheet, made sure to butter the bread, and alternated the corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese on each slice. Baked at 350 for a few minutes and then turned to broil for another minute or so. Came out toasty on the outside and warm all the way through!!

Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2011

I was skeptical about making this because I was certain it was going to come out watery rather than creamy. I was wrong! It came out very creamy and very tasty. :o) I have to admit I didn't follow the called for amounts of potato, ham, and onion - I "eyeballed" the ratio to sauce amount. I probably used about 2 cups of cheese and added a half soup can of milk. Sprinkled with chopped chives before serving.

Sauerkraut 'n' Sausage

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2010

My husband LOVED this!! We're American but both our family roots are European so occasionally we get in the mood for some of our parent's comfort food. I feel the changes I made to this recipe were minor. They were mostly proportion based... 6 slices bacon, 1 med. onion, 1 lg. potato, 1 sm. apple, and 2 lbs. smoked sausage (hubby and son EAT!), and 1/2 tsp. caraway seeds (knew the kids wouldn't be crazy for too much). I sauteed the onion and potato in the bacon drippings. I didn't pre-cook the potato so I diced it small so it would cook through. Once I added everything else, I simmered it until the sausage was heated through and the sauce thickened. Sprinkled it with the bacon. I served it with Whole Grain German bread and butter, Beer & Brat Mustard and a good German beer.

Jalapeno Snacks

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2010

This is the sort of appetizer you just can't stop eating!! They were just the right level of spicy too! I would also suggest partially cooking the bacon before the final rolling step. Really crisped it up nicely! I had enough filling for 10 large jalapenos (each cut in half, so of course I had 20 halves) so I used the equal amount of bacon half pieces, which used a bit less than the pound.

Absolutely Ultimate Potato Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2010

This was great! I had half-and-half so used that rather than heavy cream and 1 tsp. Herbes de Provence as a substitute for the tarragon. I didn't use the cilantro. I used 1/2 pound of bacon rather than the whole pound in the soup. Turned out I didn't need to drain any extra fat away; just right for the vegetables. For the fam members who might of wanted a garnish, I put out chopped chives and a little extra sauteed bacon. I'll definitely be making this soup again!

Butter Chickpea Curry

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2010

Love this curry! Made a few small tweeks... I only had 2 medium potatoes. I didn't have any fresh garlic so I used 1/4 tsp. garlic powder. Added 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper with the spices which I added to the oil FIRST and let cook for a few minutes before adding the onion. Instead of cream I used 1/2 of a 13.5 oz. can of coconut milk. And finally, instead of a 12 oz. can of chickpeas I used a 19 oz. Came out nicely saucy (not dryish) and was mildly spicy. Thanks for posting this recipe!
