I started off rating this a 4 and moved way up the scale to a 5! Use fresh garlic, tomatoe paste, extra tomatoes. Fresh basil and crab are nearly a must! I would recommend added the fresh crab towards the end of the cooking process. Let all of the flavors meld prior. This is sooooo yummy!

Awesome Red Wine Pot Roast

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2009

I followed the recipe with the exception of using beef broth in place of the water and added mushrooms. However, I didn't follow the method. I seared the roast, put it into the Crockpot, added the rest of the ingredients and cooked on low for 8 hours. An easy Sunday meal!

Old Fashioned Potato Salad

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2009

4.5 stars. I halved the recipe and didn't do much different. Yummy.

Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2009

My 2 teenagers thought this was great. My husband, thought it was the best enchiladas he's ever had! Now that's saying A LOT! The directions are weird. Step-by-step they didn't make any sense. I improvised and did what I thought they meant. I probably would add some cilantro and sliced olives next time.

Creamy Horseradish Garlic Spread

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009

I used mild horseradish and would recommend using extra hot for meats. The mild tasted a little bit like ranch dressing with a zip. It does taste good as a vegi and chip dip. I added extra hot and that seemed to go well with the meat I served tonight. Good either way!

Capers and Halibut

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009

I'd give this a 4.5. My husband made it for dinner and it seemed to take hardly no time at all. He said he would add more garlic next time. Used no salt and less butter. I really don't like capers, but I think I do now!

Pork Medallions with Port and Dried Cranberry Sauce

Reviewed: May 28, 2009

I really don't think I did anything wrong here, just too tart for my taste. Maybe I didn't reduce the vinegar out long enough? However, I have a similar way of cooking mushrooms in this kind of sauce. To give it a more mellow taste, I add 1/2 + 1/2.

Salisbury Steak

Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2009

Followed directions exactly and thought it was great. I would double the sauce next time though.

Pleasant Pork Chops

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2009

Ok 3.5. The pork chops were tough. The sauce was great. I added a bit of fresh rosemary and a little bit of white wine. Probably will try again.

Baked Swiss Steak

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009

I guess I just don't find swiss steak appealing, but my husband thought it was awesome! I probably tripled the Worch. The smallest cut of meat I could get was 1# so I doubled the recipe. Tonight, with the addition of Mexican spices, we are making burritos.

Thai Cucumber Salad

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2009

I would rather give this a 4.5. I followed the directions and found the amount of sugar to be too sweet. I would cut that to half next time and add more according to your own taste.

Spicy Garlic and Pepper Shrimp

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2009

The picture does not give justice to what this recipe looks like on a plate, ready for serving. It was rather elegant looking meal. The flavor was great. I think there might be additional items I will try next time. I did add some fresh lime juice. Next time, after the peanut scare, I might stir a little of that into the dish and maybe a little bit more heat. Thanks for the recipe!

Chili Rellenos Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2009

I used Enchillada sauce and black olives, too. Next time I'll add some fresh cilantro. I did something silly, thinking that the egg & milk weren't setting up so I gently stirred. Turned out more like scrambled eggs, oops! Super fast and easy to make!

Gingerbread Boys

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2008

I used molassas instead of the corn syrup and I don't know if that is why I had all of the problems I had. Five stars is for the taste of the dough and me not following the exact recipe. I refridg. overnight and had a hard ball the next day. After 2 hours it was still hard. I defrosted in the microwave 30 secs and added more butter. Things just got worse. Rather crumbly and dry. I should have followed the recipe - my fault.

Bacon Ranch Pea Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2008

I served this as a side for Thanksgiving and nobody commented on it, ok only one. I did make this a day ahead and forgot to add more wet ingredients, because it was too dry from sitting over night.

Asparagus with Parmesan Crust

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2008

I liked the change, which was nice. I however, marinated my asparagus and I don't think I will do that again. Too greasy (not sure that was even why). I did enjoy the crustiness of the parma. though. I will make again.

My Country Style Steak

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008

I don't like the dried onions in the soup mix, so I used a small sieve to leave those out. In place of water I used beef broth with excellent results. In addition to this recipe I made Wine Soaked Mushrooms from this site and was not over-eager to serve them on their own. So I added them to the gravy and everyone expressed how good the gravy came out. We have never made cubed steak for our 13 and 16-year-olds, so their opinion of the steak does not count; however, my husband and thought it was "spot on." TY for sharing.

Wine Soaked Mushrooms

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008

I halved the recipe and the taste was just not there for me. This recipe seems similar to one of my favorites from a neighbor years ago, but not a replicate. I wanted so much to love this, but kept on having to add more flavor, because it was bland. However, I do recommend trying this and see what you come up with!

Easy Roasted Pork

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2008

Although a little too sweet (and I would adjust the ingredient amounts next time) this tasted great. My husband is excited to use the leftovers to add a spicy barbeque sauce and make pulled pork sandwiches tomorrow!

Smothered Green Beans

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2008

I am more inclined to rate this 3.5. I steamed the grean beans first (with a red pepper), drained most of the grease from the bacon, sauted the onion and garlic and then added the beans, pepper and bacon at the end. These were a nice change and I will probably make these again.
