Cheeseburger Soup I

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2011

This is one of those recipes where tweaking is expected. After all when we create a recipe the ingredient amounts are approximate. I rate it as a 4, as it presently stands, but made the following changes: doubled ground beef, carrots and onions (maybe basil and parsley too?); used 1 can beef broth, two cans chicken (would have used 3 beef but didn't have another on hand); I have no idea how much white sauce I made (1.5), but I made it a cheese sauce using 2 c. shredded extra sharp cheddar; added two cups shredded xshch at the end and a little bit of cooked bacon (didn't need it). 17-year old took it to school for lunch even though the container required a gift bag with a handle and "lots of tape around the edges." He has a very big football game tonight and I feel honored and so should you, Auntylene. You could contribute to three touchdowns!

Fluffy Pancakes

Reviewed: May 2, 2010

I hated making pancakes! Then I found this recipe. I do not tweek it except for mini chocolate chips for my son. I usually make "pan" cakes in that they are almost the size of the pan I use. Maybe I'll try smaller ones on a griddle... Hint: For those of you who sometimes have pancakes that are loose in the middle, test your pancake by touching the middle of the pancake. If it springs back, it is ready. Sound familiar? It's a cake-baking technique. These are cakes here and they are AWESOME!

Crispy Orange Beef

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2010

This is excellent. My family loves it the way it is, no changes. We almost always serve it with rice and steamed or stir-fried broccoli. It is worth the time and the calories, if you are counting them

Breakfast Sausage

Too dry. Needs fat. I made a recipe myself once and just cannot remember how I made it. This was not it!

Flounder Florentine

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009

I followed the recipe fairly closely. I listened to some reviewers and mixed most of the Bernaise in with the spinach and then a tiny bit on top. In an attempt to avoid blandness, I sprinkled the magic spice mixture, used for veggies, chicken, fish, plain pasta in our house, on the fish before the sauce and it definitely was not bland. Lemon Pepper Seasoning (no salt)- it's amazing what it does to broccoli!

Cilantro Chicken and Rice

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009

Not worth remaking. This is one of the first times I haven't tinkered with a recipe and it was the wrong time to do so. It makes alot of food - I used three large chicken breasts sliced into 8 cutlets, plus I had 3 random chicken legs. I am hoping my family will eat the leftovers as burritos with some cheese and sour cream. Might make it worthwhile?

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009

These were great! The recipe made 5 giant muffins and we fought over them. I used frozen blueberries and they did sink to the bottom, buuuut we did not care. Next time we will use fresh blueberries and they will be even better! Texture is just right for a muffin...for a change.

Cornbread Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2009

Almost exactly what I was looking for. It was so good with chili. I put it under, my husband and son put it on top. Of course everyone who cooks makes some changes as they go along, but this recipe is adaptable and great without any alterations.

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008

De-licious. I love pumpkin bread IF it is the right recipe. This is it! I gave some of it away and took some of the leftovers to a friend's house. It got rave reviews. I wish I had kept more for us! I actually baked them in coffee cans and had round pieces. They made for beautiful presentation i.e. a flower with petals made from semi-circles and center sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. This will make it to the Thanksgiving table along with traditional apple pie.

Ditto Redbird's review. In my family the mayonnaise must be Hellmann's.

Hot German Potato Salad III

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2008

I was a bit nervous serving this to my family - different for potato salad here. My son who does not like cold salads, loved it! I thought it was quite tasty too. I have a tendency to cook without tasting (smelling is a different story) and tweeking recipes even on the first time. Because I have never had this in any shape or form, I followed directions exactly as printed. Very good with rave reviews from the entire family. Will make again and again.

Tortellini Alfredo

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2008

This dish was excellent. It is quick, easy and, best of all, tasty. The first time I made it I skimped on the peas (only had a handful on hand) and had no mushrooms. I cannot wait to add the full amount of peas. My son missed it and ate it warmed the next day and pronounced it a "make-again!" Serve it with freshly grated Parm and a nice salad. Enjoy.

Red River Beef Stroganoff

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2007

Very good! I'm not usually one for "traditional suburban" dishes, but I had about 3 lbs. of cooked and sliced London broil to use. This turned out very well. Even though the meat was already cooked and I did not use the flour to brown the meat, the sauce was plenty thick enough. My husband and children enjoyed this. I will make it again, from the beginning next time!

Waffles I

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2006

Fluffy, not too oily, and crisp on the outside. Helpful hint: when adding more sugar than the recipe calls for (we like ours sweet), whisk eggs, whisk again with sugar until sugar is dissolved, then add remaining ingredients. It allows for the sugar to be incorporated so it doesn't cause the batter to stick to the waffle iron. Add a dash of cinnamon and cardamom. My kids don't even know what the flavor is. I have also used 1/2 cup stone-ground whole wheat flour plus 1/4 c. milk. Mmmm...

Chicken Enchiladas I

Reviewed: May 9, 2006

This was exactly what I wanted. I grilled and shredded the chicken; sauteed the onion and garlic before adding everything else. Used most of a 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce and water and 1 can of green chilies in place of the green peppers and added a little bit of cumin for extra flavor. Instead of 6 oz cheese, used about 10 oz. Filled 10 large tortillas instead of 8. I guess it depends upon the size of your chicken breasts. Definitely to be made again.

Fabulous Homemade Bread

Reviewed: May 2, 2006

Excellent and kept very well. My neighbors loved it, as I thought I halved the recipe but the measurements remained the same in the text and I had to make all 6 loaves! I had to split it up in my mixer. Next time I'll be more careful!

Beth's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2006

THE BEST!!! I have had many "issues" with chocolate chip cookies. This recipe is perfect! I made two batches in one week! I did alter b/c I do not have butter-flavored shortening - I used 1 cup butter and 1/3 cup regular shortening. I tried with the white and semi-sweet swirled chips (only a 10-oz. bag) plus mini Hershey's Special Dark bars in chunks to make up the difference. Good-bye Toll House recipe!!
