Although the flavor was good - I used the advice of many here and did not drain my tomatoes - then it was too much like a stew and I could not pour it on the rolls for the sandwiches. I tried to make repairs by adding a bottle of bbq sauce - but still too soupy. Not a great success for me.

Honey Lime Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2005

They were just ok for me. There needed to be more sauce in my opinion for 18 whole wings.

Devil's Steak Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2005

I did not pick the best cut of meat - but the sauce was fabulous! I can see why one reviewer said she wanted to bottle it and give it away as gifts for x-mas! YUM!

Broccoli, Pepperoni and Three Cheese Calzones

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2005

I made this - just to see how it compared to another recipe on this site ...REAL ITALIAN CALZONES. I am staying with the othr recipe because it seemed to be a bigger hit at my house. This was missing something for us. You should not mess with perfection - and for us (personal taste) we preferred the other recipe. Good stuff though - so try it and compare yourself.

Apple Butter Spice Cake

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2005

This was a good coffee type cake - but for me it was not as good as the "Graham Struessal" cake found on this site. I had given that cake FIVE stars and for some reason - I suppose because they are both coffee type cakes - everyone in my family said "It is not as good as the cake you made last week". I will probably just stick to that one - although this was tasty. So..because of that I need to give this FOUR!

Mango Tango Black Bean Salsa

Reviewed: Jul. 7, 2005

I didn't like this much - I ended up adding about a cup of Salsa and 1/2 cup sour cream just to give it some flavor and then it was good. The recipe itself though was a bit of a let down.

My family did not like this at all. I gave it three stars because I thought that some people might - not for us.

Saltimbocca alla Pollo

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2005

I made it and then a couple of days later went back to rate it and I couldn't really rememeber what it was - so I suppose there is your answer. I had to look back at the recipe and then it was like .. "oh ya - now I recall - so for me it was not really memorable but good every day stuff

Skillet Ham, Cabbage and Potatoes

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2005

I actually thought the results of this recipe were quite bland and plain - I too add a whole lot of sharp chedder to make it actaully quite yummy - so I suppose my rating is for the recipe plus the cheese addition.

Slow Cooker Ham

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2005

For me - it was just all right. It was done way before the scheduled time and I turned it off for a couple of hours before I had to serve it and then reheated it - but if I had not been home it would have been a disaster. Simple recipe though - for average results.

Southwestern Grilled Chicken with Lime Butter

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2005

To me -it had more of a middle Eastern flair! I loved this recipe and my family raved. I made it on the stove top - frying the chicken in a tad of butter. It was perfectly juicy and the lime butter made it fabulous! I will definitely make this again and again. I am going to take it on the next camping trip too!

Rory's Most Wonderful Corn Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2005

I am not sure if I did something wrong..I really do not think so...but something was missing for me. It needed a bit of sweetness. I even came back to review the ingredients to see if I missed something important. For me..it was lacking flavor.

Graham Streusel Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2005

I made this without nuts because my husband is not a fan - and it was perfect. He told me to never make a different coffee cake for him. Last night I caught him in a fit of the midmight munchies chowing down on leftover cake! WONDERFUL!

Rich and Simple French Onion Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2005

Absolutely undeniably fabulous! My family raved! I raved! I will make this over and over again. I put a little too much bread on top...next time I will make sure to cut the bread smaller but it was beautiful and yummy! One of my favorites so far on this site!

Corn Salad I

Reviewed: Jun. 6, 2005

very simple and very good. Is is a five star??? I have a hard time with giving it that high just simply because I look at those recipes as something special..which this was really not. I will probably make it again but I really do not think it was a recipe anyone is going to beg for. Nice side dish and that was it. Simple..which was nice. 3 stars seems about right for that!
