Blackened Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009
Tried this tonight, it was FANTASTIC! A little spicy for my 7 year old, but everyone else loved it. I doubled it and used thin cut chicken breasts...don't have a cast iron skillet, so I just got a regular nonstick pan super hot, fried four of them together for a minute on each side, then put them on the cookie sheet in the oven for ten minutes. When I pulled them out of the oven to check them for doneness, they were like BUTTER :) Served them sliced on a simple salad with fat free ranch dressing....soooo good!

Ratatouille Bake

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2009
Made this last night...unfortunately, the eggplant I bought earlier in the week didn't make it, but I used all he oher veggies and a can of fire-roasted tomatoes, kept everything else the same. It was great, we all loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Reviewed: May 11, 2009
My 15 year old son found this recipe and made it for my Mother's Day breakfast, including the cinnamon honey butter syrup. They were FANTASTIC, including the cinnamon honey butter...but just a little drizzle works, and I'm sure they would have been almost as good without it, but what a great special occasion breakfast it made!

Fluffy Cheesecake Dessert

Reviewed: May 11, 2009
My son found this recipe and made it for me yesterday for Mother's Day. I have to say I had my doubts when I saw the marshmallows as an ingredient...I thought it would be WAY to sweet. It wasn't. I thought it came out perfect...light and fluffy, the crust was the perfect compliment, and the amount of juice was just right to give it that little tang that a real cheesecake has. What an easy and delicious substitute for regular cheesecake!

Stuffed Mushrooms II

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2008
I found this recipe by doing an ingredient search...it was as close to how I remember my mom doing her stuffed mushrooms as I could find, but I did make a few changes. I took the mushroom stems and chopped them finely, then only took about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of stovetop stuffing (I had a can of it, so that made it easier...plus I put it in a baggie and crushed it a little finer) I fried up the chopped stems in a little margarine, then added the crushed stuffing mix, then added a couple of shakes of parmesan cheese. The liquid from the cream of mushroom soup is enough to make the stuffing 'stick', and these came out fantastic.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies III

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2008
These were SO deliciously addictive! My only warning would be that by no stretch of the imagination could this recipe only make '12 servings'...I read that, and since I was making these for my 1st grader's Halloween party, I decided to double it (from other reviews I read, I didn't double the cinnamon, only put in slightly more than the single recipe called for, and I also followed another reviewer's advice and used chocolate mini-chips, both of which worked great). Anyway, I ended up with probably 80 cookies of various sizes...some about tablespoon sized (for the kids party), some about twice that size, and some that were about as large as my palm...they all came out to the same cake-like consistency, which I loved! My kids thought they were like a cross between a cookie and a muffin. Oh, also, I did as another reviewer suggested and added a couple drops of red food coloring to make the cookie dough a little more orange. Fantastic recipe, I'm sure these will be asked for a few more times before the end of the year!

Marinated Ranch Broiled Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2008
Just made these last night, followed the recipe exactly (using thin cut chicken breasts, so I shortened the broiling time just a little) and they were a huge hit! Extremely easy, tasty, and very little cleanup if you line your broiling pan with foil before cooking. Thanks for the great recipe!

Tzatziki Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2007
The flavor of this sauce was great!! Unfortunately, the night I made it, I forgot to read over the reviews, and I forgot to either drain the yogurt or add it last...the sauce ended up very thin and runny, but the flavor was so good that it didn't make any difference to me (other than it didn't 'stick' to my souvlaki well enough) I will definitely make this again and try adding the yogurt at the end.

Penne with Mushrooms

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2007
I made this last night for dinner and my husband and kids loved it, even the picky five year old. The only thing I changed was the type of pasta- I used cheese tortellini instead of the penne pasta, and it was still great! Very easy and tasty!

Ham Chowder

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2006
This was great! I was browsing for a recipe for my leftover Christmas ham, and I just happened to have all the other ingredients on hand (even a leek!) The only thing I modified (besides using a little less of most of the veggies and bacon than the recipe called for, but only because I didn't have on hand as much as the recipe called for) was to follow the other's advice for cutting down on the rosemary. I use crushed rosemary, and two teaspoons was plenty...still had the flavor, but it wasn't overpowering at all. I had enough to feed five of us tonight, and froze the other half for another cold night when I don't have time to cook. This is a keeper!

Best Egg Rolls

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2006
I worked in a chinese restaurant in college, and I could tell by the recipe that these were very close to the one's we used to serve. Turns out I was right, these taste identical! I forgot the peanut oil, so I mixed canola and sesame oil (next time I'll do it right), and they were fantastic. A little time consuming, but not too bad, especially since I'm an 'experienced' egg-roller =) The only thing I did differently was that I boiled the cabbage for about 3 minutes before rolling, just to soften them up a tiny bit. They were great!

Monkey Bread V

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2006
YUM! Made this on a night when we had all our kids home at one time (all 4 of them) and it was gone about 30 minutes after it came out of the oven. A little time consuming with getting all the biscuit pieces covered in the cinnamon sugar, but think of all the calories you burn while making it!! Probably almost enough to justify that 2nd serving...

Restaurant-Style Zuppa Toscana

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2006
This really reminded me of a soup I had once at an italian restaurant. It was easy to prepare (my smoked sausage was pre-cooked, but I warmed it up before putting it in the soup). I think it would be perfect on a cold night, with a loaf of crusty bread and a salad. Mine came out just a tad too salty, but I think it was my fault...I used chicken bouillon, next time I will use actual broth instead, because I think the smoked sausage gives the soup a lot of salty taste, too. I may try this in the crockpot this fall, just so it's ready when I get home from work. Great recipe!!

Swiss Chicken Casserole I

Reviewed: Sep. 25, 2006
It doesn't get much easier or tastier than this! I followed the recipe with no add-ins (although my chicken breasts only came in a 4-pack, I will probably double it next time so we have some leftovers). I eyeballed all the ingredients, and used cream of chicken with herbs (couldn't find regular). This was FANTASTIC. Added a side vegetable and it was a meal that took about 6 minutes to throw together and another 45 to cook...chicken came out tender and perfect. This is great on a busy weeknight (I think I'll make it again on 'Lost Premier Night' so I spend next to no time in the kitchen, and very little doing the cleanup. Thanks for the great recipe!!

Tantalizingly Tangy Meatloaf

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2006
I loved this! I think having the meatloaf kind of on the plain side makes a really nice contrast to the sweet topping. My kids both loved it, and hubby was glad I'd doubled it to make a two lb loaf (I used one lb ground beef, one lb ground turkey...I don't like the texture of all turkey, the combination of the two was perfect!) This will be a regular!

Baked Sweet Potato Sticks

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2006
These were very good, and I thought they baked up nicely. I'd read some other reviews where people were having problems with the amount of oil, so I cut down the number of sweet potatoes I used down to 5, and there was plenty (but you really do have to get your hands into it, and use a big enough bowl to where the slices don't keep popping out of the bowl, like mine did!) I may have cut them a little smaller, because they only took about 30 mins to bake (I was baking them with a meatloaf, which needed to be cooked at 350, but they cooked quickly even on the lower heat). As I said, they were good, but they seemed to kind of be missing something...not much flavor to them. After tasting them, I sprayed them with a butter flavored spray and sprinkled a little salt and pepper on them. Easy and a healthy alternative to regular potatoes!

Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Marsala Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2006
This was really good, and different than anything I've done with pork before. I messed up and accidentally bought a roast instead of a tenderloin (I just cut it into smaller pieces so it would cook in the same amount of time). The sauce was good, too, my husband raved about it...I thought it was missing just a little something but can't put my finger on it. Still, pretty easy to put together, and very tasty! Might try this as a crockpot dish next time...

BLT Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2006
I loved this! Very simple and perfect for a barbecue. I think next time I make it, I may try the bacon ranch dressing, as I didn't put a full pound of bacon, but missed the extra flavor it would have added. Yummy!
