Crunch Bar

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2009
Perfect and so fast and easy to make! Followed recipe using milk choc chips and pecans. Think I will reduce nuts by 1/2 C next time. By the way, 4 oz. saltines is one sleeve. I let the pan cool for an hour or so and then put into the refrigerator for another hour. Lifted a corner edge and started breaking apart. No problem removing from the pan. This recipe will be a family favorite - thanks!

Shrimp Fettucine Alfredo

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009
Yum! This was delicious and so easy! Made a slight substitution based on what I had - 1/2 C half-&-half, 1/4 C chicken broth, 1/4 C white wine. 1/2 lb fettuccini was plenty for this recipe. Reminded me of a favorite dish from Shell's seafood restaurant.

No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008
I think this recipe has potential but needs some tweaking. 1 C of butter is just way too much, result was greasy oatmeal. Will try again with more brown sugar, less butter and bringing to a boil before adding vanilla and oats. Microwave works great for melting chips and peanut butter together.

Sweet Potato Souffle III

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2007
Excellent recipe, just cut the sugar in half. Way too sweet otherwise. Hard to call it a side dish when it tastes like desert. Don't scrimp on the topping. Yum!

Mom's Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2007
This was a nice, lighter-tasting change from the traditional recipes. Found it was not sweet enough for our taste so added about 1/4 C powdered sugar and about 1/2 t more vanilla on top of the other ingredients. Hard to get away from the taste of the flour. Might be worth experimenting with cornstarch? Next time I will cover the bowl before chilling in refrigerator as I found a skin formed on top of the flour/milk paste making it a bit lumpy. Was able to beat it out with the mixer and it spread on the cake perfectly. Covered my 9-inch layer with ample frosting and it looked beautiful.

Stuffed Green Peppers I

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2007
Yum! Made as directed, adding a bit of stuffing to the pepper, a spoonful of sauce and then more stuffing. They were very moist. Had extra stuffing and just dropped it into the baking dish and covered w/ sauce. Will try red or yellow peppers next time. Using uncooked rice made the prep very simple. Easy & delicious recipe - thanks!

Amazing Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2007
After reading the reviews, I had high hopes for this one but was thoroughly disappointed. Followed the recipe but cut back on soy sauce as other reviewers recommended. Used Merlot wine - maybe that was the problem. Wine flavor was overwhelming. I'm going to try to salvage by making pulled pork and smoothering w/ BBQ sauce. I don't think this recipe needs a tenderloin. If you like the ingredients, seems that a loin roast or less expensive cut would be just fine. Won't be making this again at my house.

Fresh Rhubarb Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2007
Perfect pie and couldn't be easier to make! I used a frozen pie crust and it came out beautifully. This is the first rhubarb pie recipe I have tried that was worthy of the rhurbarb. Pie was a bit soupy served warm, but the flavor was excellent. Refrigerated and served cold the next day - just right.

Kathy's Delicious Whole Slow Cooker Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2007
Skinning a whole chicken is a pain. I cut the wings off at the joint and used them to make the broth, along with the skin and the neck. Cooked a 5# chicken on LO for 10 hours - way too long and it fell off the bone trying to remove from the pot. Used toasted sesame oil and olive oil. I agree with other reviewers - could probably reduce the olive oil by atleast half. Next time I will try not to overcook. Good flavor though, better than most crockpot whole chicken recipes I've tried.

Tangy Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2007
Followed recipe as directed. Reserved about 1/4 C of marinade for basting. Marinated for about 10 hours and grilled on our gas grill for about 30 minutes on LOW. Very tender & tasty, although I think I would like a bit more kick. Next time I may try increasing chili powder, perhaps a dash of cayenne? The leftovers will make great sandwiches. Thanks for sharing this simple & delicious recipe.

Corn Chip Crunch

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2007
A fun and easy recipe that made a big hit at the party. Had problems with sticking to the waxed paper. I think next time I will skip the waxed paper and just use a greased cookie sheet, same as making peanut brittle. I think dry roasted almonds would also be a good addition, maybe toss a few M&M's in at the end??

Garlic Broccoli

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2006
Yeeoow - we are garlic lovers but the garlic took the front seat on this recipe and overpowered the dish. I reduced salt as another reviewer suggested but was still too salty for our taste. If I were to make this again, I would seriously reduce measurements on salt and garlic. Don't have to worry about vampire attacks with this recipe!

Cocktail Meatballs

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2006
After reading the reviews of others, I knew I could take these to a party without "testing" at home first. I used a 2# bag of frozen turkey meatballs and baked according to directions. Then doubled the sauce recipe and put everything into the crock pot on LO. Doubling the recipe means you use 1 bottle of chili sauce and 1 can of cranberry. Wow - so easy and good.

Quick Chicken with Asparagus and Provolone

Reviewed: Aug. 31, 2006
I added a bit of parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs - yum! Seems like 1/2 can of chix broth would be plenty for next time. Very easy and elegant - will be a great company dish.

Salsa Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2006
My husband wasn't excited about the recipe - until he tried it! We thought it tasted like chicken enchiladas minus the tortillas. Great idea for low-carb menu. Sour cream is the crowning glory - don't forget this finishing touch. Yum!

Spicy Mexican Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2006
Took this one to a potluck and it went over big. Used only 1/2 bag corn chips and that seemed like more than enough. This one gets soggy fast, so don't prepare in advance. I just prepped the ingredients and then tossed when I arrived, adding the chips at the very last. A very hearty salad. Add some taco meat and it becomes a worthy main dish.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2006
This is one of my all-time favorite dressings. I use the regular (not white) balsamic vinegar and fresh black pepper. Sometimes add fresh basil or rosemary if I have it. Simple and so delicious!

Easy Lemon Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2006
I made this one for a birthday and it got rave reviews. I used a fork to poke lots of holes in the cake before covering w/ glaze. Followed another reviewers recommendation and added a dab of butter to the glaze, along with some freshly grated lemon rind. Fresh squeezed lemon juice made it all the more tasty. I think this one is even better the next day, moist and more lemony. Next time, I will make it the day before serving. Good & easy!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2006
As other reviewers have suggested, I used boneless/skinless chicken breasts and let them cook w/ the soup. Chopped and returned to the soup shortly before serving - melt-in-your-mouth tender. Used homemade chix broth in place of the canned. Served with a dollop of sour cream and some shredded Mexi-cheese, w/ crushed tortilla chips on top (no need to make your own) Easy and FABULOUS! Saving the leftovers in the freezer to enjoy another day.

Layered Salad

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2006
I followed the recipe except I used a bag of salad mix (iceberg & carrots mostly) in place of the lettuce. Used only 1/2 small onion (green onions would be good too). Don't leave the water chestnuts out - they make that extra "crunch" you need. Took this one to a ladies gathering and got rave reviews and requests for the recipe - it was soooo easy. This goes into my permanent file. Thanks for sharing!
