Balsamic Tortellini

Reviewed: Mar. 22, 2011

I did this with steak instead of bacon, because that's what I had on hand and it was still pretty tasty, and a quick and filling meal. We used a high quality, aged balsamic vinegar which was the star in this - don't go cheap on the vinegar, as it makes the dish!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2009

I did this exactly as described, except I did them as mini muffins. This is a good basic banana muffin recipe, but I did not find it to be anything new or unusual. The crumb is nice, but kinda overpowers the banana flavor. The banana flavor was nonexistent just after baking, but developed overnight and was better the next day.

Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2009

This was very easy to make and the meat came out tender and juicy. However, the Teriyaki flavor was faint, so I would do a couple of things differently next time. 1) Double the sauce and keep half out for use after baking, 2) cut pork into bite size pieces before marinating so that each bite is coated in the sauce or perhaps just use the extra sauce to baste while cooking. A good solid recipe. Thanks!

Premier White Brownies

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2008

This was very easy to put together and baked up nicely in exactly 25 minutes. I did not have sliced almonds, so left them off, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The texture is a bit more cakelike than brownie-like, but it is a very nice, mild white chocolate snack cake. Would make a great base for some other flavors, mix-ins or toppings. Thanks for sharing!

Caramel Bars

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2008

These have potential, but I think they need a little work. Tasty and rich, but the bottoms were greasy from so much butter. I thought the caramel flavor was lost in the chocolate. Next time, I would lessen the butter, leave out the chocolate and probably add a bit more nuts. Also, I would use a smaller pan to get thicker bars.

Microwave Oven Peanut Brittle

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2006

OMG this was so easy! I can't believe it. I've tried making nut brittle in the past using traditional stovetop recipes and it always came out burnt tasting and greasy. This recipe was quick, super easy and it's perfect - tastes just like expensive gourmet brittle from the store. I used pistachios rather than peanuts, but otherwise followed recipe exactly. Thanks, this is definitely a keeper!

Pumpkin Crunch Parfaits

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2006

When I made the filling and tasted it, it seemed a little bland, so I added in the rest of the can of pumpkin (15 oz can, I think) and another approx. 3/4 tsp pie spice, which kicked up where I expected the flavor to be. This is quite good, but very rich. I used what I thought of as small dessert dishes, but even so, it's more than I can eat in one sitting. Very good. Thanks!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2006

Excellent soup and easy to make. Like others, I used all chicken stock (no water), but it was very rich, so I might try it as written next time. I also put my chicken in raw, whole pieces, and then shredded it just before serving. I added some fresh lime juice and a handful of cilantro just before serving as well, and offered chopped avocado, sour cream and cheddar cheese as toppings. My boyfriend inhaled this and said he loved it! Will definitely make again. Thanks!

Chicken Stuff

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2006

This is a great recipe! Very easy, tasty, hearty and a true one-pot meal. Easy to customize too - switch up the type of condensed soup, or change out the vegetables, or even try it with pork! Definitely a keeper. Thanks!

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2006

Very, very good. Wasn't an exact clone of the cinnabon, to me, but very tasty nonetheless. Using the bread machine made it very quick and easy. Thanks!

Chicken a la Creme

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2006

This is an excellent, quick and easy recipe. I added about a tsp each of onion and garlic powder and the flavor was wonderful. I also added in some mushrooms to saute with the chicken and threw in some broccoli at the very end. Definitely not low fat, but very very tasty. Thanks!

Turkey Goulash

Reviewed: Aug. 12, 2006

This was extremely easy to make - my boyfriend's son actually made it for us, with my help. Overall a good dish, but it does need a little extra flavor. We added some hot sauce, but next time I will add some paprika and see how that does. Quick, easy and hearty though, so will make this again. Thanks!

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2006

Excellent flavor and easy to make. I didn't have any cream or evaporated milk, so I just used regular whole milk. Was still fabulous even if not as creamy as might normally be. Will definitely make again. Thanks!

Snow Flakes

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2006

Excellent cookies. Very good flavor, moist and not dry like many spritz cookies are. I sprinkled with powdered sugar and they were gorgeous. Would be easy to sub lemon or lime flavors for the orange and they would be just as good. Definitely a keeper. Thanks!

Disappearing Marshmallow Brownies

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2006

This was very easy to make and pretty popular with the goup. I thought the flavor was good, but not exceptional so only giving it 4 stars instead of 5. A good recipe to have on hand for something quick and sweet.

Chicken with Asparagus and Roasted Red Peppers

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2006

Excellent as well as very easy and quick to make. I didn't have any roasted red peppers, so I just used fresh and it was still excellent. Quick, easy, very tasty and healthy to boot - what more could you ask? Will definitely make this again! Edited to add: Have now made this with fresh peppers and roasted red peppers - no discernable difference in taste. Might as well use fresh - it's cheaper!

Fig Bars II

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2006

These are pretty good, and a nice change of pace from the usual chocolate chip and oatmeal fare. I did not find that rolling them in confectioner's sugar did anything for the flavor, so I didn't do that after the first one. Very easy and quick to make, also. Thanks!
