Sauteed Apples

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2011

Absolutely delicious and easy as well. Made EXACTLY as directed. We both can't wait to make again and serve over my homemade vanilla bean ice cream. But this first time, we enjoyed it as a side with roast pork, and shaved Brussels sprouts with pancetta.....perfect accompaniment. Thanks 356!

Cream of Coconut Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2011

PERFECT! Now my official Coconut Cake [aside from Coconut Poke Cake]. The only subs I made was to add 2 tsp of coconut extract to cake batter as well as to frosting. I also LOADED the top of my 9x12 cake with tons of UNSWEETENED coconut which I just happened to have on hand. Soooooo delicious, moist, flavorful....it was hard not to eat more than one piece!

Baked Haddock

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2011

Delicious, easy, fairly quick......great for Lent! My only suggestion.....next time I would spray the fillets with olive oil to both crisp/brown since I used Panko. You can skip the butter that way as well.

Playgroup Granola Bars

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2011

Sooooooooooooooo good! thank-you so much for this phenominal recipe using healthy ingredients! Very easy to make and made exactly as written......great directions. I did use overlapping parchment so I could just lift out to cut.....if you do this however, grab one end and slide out onto your cutting board, so they don't crack....mine did slightly but easily fixed being they were still warm. I waxed paper wrapped them individually for my husband to take to work to eat on the run. Next time I will experiment with grains as well as other fruits, nuts, and perhaps mini chocolate chips. Thanks again!

David's Yellow Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2010

Total agreement and Amen to Naples34102's comments on 8.7.08! This cake was PERFECT! I too have been cooking for about 50 years as well and this cake has it all....buttery flavor & dense crumb.... exactly what a good yellow cake should be. I too halved the recipe and frosted with Allrecipes peanut butter frosting. Very good, and a nice cake to adorn with various icings and a delicious vessel for fresh fruits as well. Thanks David!

Coconut Poke Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2010

I AGREE WITH ALL POSITIVE COMMENTS!!! I DID USE MY OWN REAL WHIPPED CREAM - 2 HALF PINTS OF HEAVY CREAM/1/8 CUP POWDERED SUGAR INSTEAD OF WHIPPED TOPPING AND FOLLOWED THE SUGGESTION TO MAKE A DAY AHEAD TO ALLOW FLAVORS TO MELD. A REAL WINNER......EVERYONE TOOK PLATES HOME!

Diabetic Dog Treats

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2010

My dog was just diagnosed with Diabetes. Food is her middle name-just saying the word outloud sends her into a frenzy. She absolutely LOVES Puperoni.......however, they have sugar; both regular as well as propylene glycol, so they have to go! I was hoping this recipe would solve the problem.......she liked them, but we shall see as time goes by. I followed others suggestion of baby food, using a 1-2.5oz jar of beef and I also used about 1 tsp of liquid smoke -----trying to mimic the smell of those Puperoni's. Like I said, she does like them, but unlike others, did not go crazy for them. Next time however, I will use a much smaller pan to spread the batter in......10x15 is way too large......they come out too thin. A ravioli/pastry cutter works well to cut them while still warm as well.

Panzanella Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2009

I love Panzanella salad but this became absolutely ruined by using Balsamic vinegar. I am aggravated with myself for not seeing that. Wayyyyyyyyyyyy too sweet. Plus with the tomatoes, it becomes sweeter. Think [unlike I did, & use wine or cider vinegar instead]!

Three Bean Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2009

This is not something I make, but thought it might make a good foil for the quiche I was making & it did. It was addictive, delicious, but...........waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much sugar! Happy that I heard the other "too much sugar" comments, cutting mine to 1/3 cup [Splenda] & next time, will probably only add 1/4 cup. I am a sweetoholic. The submitter states that the recipe makes a lot, & to me, that really isn't true, so maybe the amount of beans was meant to have been tripled, or at least doubled.......I can't imagine this with all that sugar!

GA Peach Pound Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009

Very good. I halved the recipe, used 1/2 c. Splenda with 1/2 c.sugar and 1/2 c. "Can't Believe It's Not Butter sticks for our health reasons. I baked for 60 minutes @ 325 & poured into an 8"x4" foil loaf pan.

Simple Scones

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2009

Sorry, although these were very good, they are still not the best, and my quest goes on. The best you can get are sold at a local gourmet shop near me in Kenmore, NY......if I could get the recipe, I would. I have driven there just to get one.....9 miles away, they are that good and I usually get them plain. However, they come to the shop parbaked and finished in the shop so no recipe. I did make these as many others did, using a food processor, & also used currants. They were easy, & very good, but still not my favorite.....the local one's are like "butter, sugar, flour, dropped down from an English heaven" to me! I may however, try to make these with cream or buttermilk instead of sour cream next time....maybe that's the difference in taste.

Authentic German Potato Salad

Reviewed: May 23, 2009

I'm not sure how authentic this was. German potato salad cubed? This recipe was too sweet. The true version has more balanced tart/sweet taste as well as a creamier texture....this was way to dry. Not much flavor either. I have a rule of never deviating from the original recipe, but this one needs a lot of changes. Will look elsewhere for an authentic version.

Meatball Sandwich

Reviewed: May 13, 2009

DELICIOUS! ALL I DID WAS TO DOUBLE THE RECIPE. ACTUALLY, THIS IS THE SAME AS MY MEATBALLS, BUT I USUALLY USE THE BEEF/PORK/VEAL COMBO-----THIS TIME IT WAS ALL BEEF. WILL USE THE REMAINDER WITH PASTA. I APPRECIATE THE REMINDER THAT GUYS REALLY DO LOVE MEATBALL BOMBERS.....I JUST USUALLY JUST MAKE MEATBALLS TO GO WITH PASTA.

Fiesta Meatloaf

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009

I HAVE TO ADMIT, WHEN I SAY THE WATER ADDITION, I WAS SKEPTICAL, BUT I GUESS I AM ALWAYS ON THE HUNT FOR A NEW TWIST ON THE MAN FAVORITE MEATLOAF. WELL, THIS IS IT! ABSOLUTELY SUPER DELICIOUS! MOIST, TENDER, & FLAVORFULL WITHOUT BEING OVERLY MEXICAN FLAVORED. I AS USUAL, DID NOT CHANGE A THING ON THE FIRST TRY. AND TO BE HONEST, I WILL NOT CHANGE A THING IN THE FUTURE....PERFECT COMBINATION. I DID USE A WOODEN SPATULA TO LIFT THE MEATLOAF OUT SINCE THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF GREASE [I USUALLY MICROWAVE MY MEATLOAF, DRAIN THE GREASE, SLICE, & RETURN TO MICROWAVE WITH GRAVY ADDED] BUT ONCE YOU LIFT THE LOAF UP, THE GREASE IS LEFT BEHIND. WILL PROBABLY BECOME OUR NEW FAVORITE MEATLOAF! THANKS SAMSNANA!

Mexican Rice II

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2009

GET YOUR FRANK'S OUT & GET READY TO SMILE.....THIS WAS SOOOOOOOO TOTALLY DELICIOUS, YET SO EASY! I NEVER CHANGE A RECIPE THE FIRST TIME, BUT I WAS OUT OF TOMATO SAUCE SO I SUBSTITUTED A CHOPPED FRESH TOMATO & IT WAS NIRVANA! WE ENJOYED THIS WITH FAYE'S "SALSA CHICKEN" & ALONG WITH THE HOT SAUCE WE HAD SOUR CREAM ON THE SIDE. WE DIDN'T SPEAK WHILE EATING IT WAS SO GOOD! THANKS AGAIN MOMMYTO2!

Newport Clam Chowder

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2008

THE WAY THE CLAMS WERE ADDED TO THIS RECIPE WAS A BIG DISSERVICE.....WHAT IS A QT. OF SHUCKED CLAMS TO MOST OF US? SO, I MADE THE CHOWDER EXACTLY AS WRITTEN HAVING HAD A LG. [49+ OUNCE] CAN OF CLAM BROTH IN MY PANTRY JUST WAITING FOR THAT LONG SOUGHT AFTER PERFECT NEW CREAMY NEW ENGLAND STYLE CLAM CHOWDER. AND I NOTICED MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN USE THE AMOUNT OF BROTH THE RECIPE ASKED FOR. THAT BROTH WAS WASTED DUE TO THE CLAM DESCRIPTION.....I GUESSED @ 2 CANS.....SHOULD HAVE USED MAYBE 4! ALSO, IT COULD HAVE USED MORE POTATOES, & MAYBE SOME SWEET RED PEPPER FOR A LITTLE PUNCH..... I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE SAVED THAT HUGE CAN OF BROTH FOR A BETTER RECIPE. SORRY BUT CAN'T SEE HOW THAT RECIPE WON AWARDS.....

Pineapple Chicken Delight

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2008

IF I COULD GIVE THIS 10 STARS I WOULD. AS THE KIDS SAY, OMG...THE BEST MEAL I HAVE MADE/EATEN IN AGES, & I'M AN AVID/EXPERT COOK! MY HUSBAND, WHO NEVER LIKES SWEET WITH SAVORY, PROBABLY COULD HAVE EATEN IT ALL...& I USED 8 SKINNED THOUGH BONE IN THIGHS [OUR FAVORITE]. I'M A LITTLE EMBARASSED TO ADMIT WE FINISHED IT ALL! SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD, REAL SOUTHERN COOKED COMFORT FOOD!!! JUST A NOTE: WE DON'T CARE FOR PEPPERS, & I HAD SEVERAL SHALLOTS, SO I PUT THEM IN. ALSO, LIKE OTHERS, THE THINLY SLICED POTATOES WEREN'T FULLY COOKED, SO I PUT THE LID ON FOR THE LAST HALF HOUR OF COOKING....TOTALLING 1-1/2HR. COOKING TIME [SINCE I USED DARK MEAT, & DOUBLED THE AMOUNT]. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW THE SAUCE THICKENED AS WELL. APPARENTLY THE WORDS WRITTEN ON MY KITCHEN WALL ARE TRUE....COOKING IS LOVE MADE VISABLE! THANK-YOU JOY!
