Almost Stuffed Peppers

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2012

I used a bag of dozen diced onions and a bag of frozen diced onions and cooked them in with the beef. I also added 3/4 of a jar of tomato basil spaghetti sauce and a small can of tomato paste. Turned out pretty good.

Crab Cakes III

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2012

I used two 1 lb cans of claw meat and then four smaller cans of diced meat and added 1/8 tsp extra of old bay, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/2 cup diced celery and onion and about another 1/2 cup of crackers just to try to get it to hold together. I made them into small balls and rolled in panko crumbs before frying. Next time will make with only the two large cans of meat as the smaller ones were too watery and the recipe just made too many servings.

Garlic Aioli

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2012

Made it to go with crab cakes (also after seeing it in another's review notes for crab cakes) and loved it. Would like to try it with lime juice also.

Angel Lush

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2012

Awesome and easy recipe. I use store-bought angel food cake or make it myself and double the filling. Great with strawberries, blueberries and other fresh summer fruit.

Easy Pizza Sauce III

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2012

I used a can of roasted diced tomatoes with garlic and basil and drained it then pureed it in the food processor along with the paste and seasonings. I took the advice of another and added 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 Tbsp basil and I also ended up adding about a tsp of salt because it was just too sweet after the initial taste. Good consistency and taste overall.

Lebanese Lemon Salad Dressing

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2011

This was a little too lemony for our taste. I will use less lemon juice next time. Also, I added sumac to it (about 1 tsp).

Lamb Shawarma

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2011

I halved the recipe and made it with chicken. I marinated the strips for 8 hours and they were phenomenal on pita bread w/the thick-style lebanese garlic sauce recipe from this site, some sliced dill pickles and tomatoes.

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2011

First time making a pecan pie with chocolate in it. It turned out very good although rather rich. I followed advice of others and added chocolate chips to pie crust the poured in pecan mixture.

Candy Coated Pecans

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2011

I took advice of others - doubled coating ingredients, added 1 Tbsp of cinnamon, baked at 300 degrees for 15 minutes then stirred and sprinkled generously with cinnamon sugar, stirred again, baked for another 5 to 10 minutes- until they weren't shiny anymore. Lined the pan with parchment paper and didn't have any sticking problems. Using them with the "Eat Michigan" salad on this site.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2011

I followed the instructions of the first and second top rated reviews - doubled broccoli, doubled cheese, didn't use water, used 3 of the 4 cans of broth to soften the broccoli and then added the corn starch to the 4th can. I also added shredded carrots that I'd cut down smaller to the onions while cooking. The consistency was good, the amount of broccoli was good but the cheese taste was off. I am used to broccoli cheese tasting like cheddar, not velveeta so next time I will make it with real cheddar cheese.

Slow Cooker Taco Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2011

We all liked it. I made the following changes: Used 1 tsp cumin, 1 Tbs chili pepper and 1 tsp salt w/meat rather than seasoning packet. Used tomato sauce in place of water. Used 1 can chili beans and 1 can black beans. Drained corn and added 1 Tbs brown sugar. Used package frozen onions in place of fresh. Used one can tomatoes with chilis and one that had chipotle peppers in it. Added package of dry ranch seasoning mix at end of cooking. I added diced avacados to mine - Yum!

Breakfast Fruit Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2011

I make a slightly different version of this using four granny smith or pink lady apples cubed into bite size pieces, four bananas sliced, three cups red grapes, three cups sliced strawberries, one cup blueberries, 1/2 cup slivered almonds and six small containers of light lemon yogurt. diced celery can be added for additional crunch. I've taken it to many potlucks and it always goes over well as a healthy dessert.

Eat Michigan Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2011

I made this for a potluck and only used two heads of lettuce (large heads) and added a little extra cherries and pecans. I used pink lady apples instead of granny smith and canola oil instead of vegetable. I didn't add any salt or pepper to the dressing and I didn't toss any dressing with the salad for fear that if it didn't all get eaten it would wilt the salad. Well, most people didn't add the dressing and loved it without it. People were scraping the bowl to try to get the last little bit of salad out. Michiganders love the salad! Now I'll have to make a "Eat Ohio Salad" which will consist of New Riegel hot dogs and corn! ;)

Spaghetti 'n' Meat Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011

I was looking for a way to make jarred sauce taste better and this recipe definitely did. I double the recipe but rather than using the sauce and whole tomato I used a 26 oz jar of tomato basil sauce. Because the amount of sauce was tripled I increased the amount of worcestershire to 1 Tbsp. Tasted great!

Satiny Chocolate Glaze

Jalapeno Corn Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2011

I used fresh jalapenos and these came out okay. They had good flavor but they didn't have a "we definitely have to make these again" quality or flavor.

Scott Hibb's Amazing Whisky Grilled Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2011

The only thing I did differently was that rather than using salt, pepper and cayenne on the ribs while baking was to use a commercial sweet & smoky rub on them. Everything else we did per the recipe. I made 15 pounds worth of ribs for a family gathering and everyone raved about how good they were.
