Cream of Mushroom and Soy Sauce Pork Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009
I made these when my husband came back from a deployment and we both thought they were incredible. They are very easy to make and literally fall apart when you start to eat them. The sugar and saltiness of the soy sauce make a nice mix. I didn't cook mine in a slow cooker, I just browned the chops and then threw it all in a baking dish and baked them for as long as I could stand. Excellent with rice!

Mom's Country Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2009
This was great. I scaled the recipe down because it was just for two people but it still made enough for us to use twice. I also changed the oil to butter. I just figured it would have a nicer flavor. Some reviewers suggested that you should use bacon or sausage grease and I agree...if you are using it for a breakfast or biscuit topping. We had ours with country fried steak and honestly I don't think the grease would have made any difference to how good it tasted with the steak. Either way, this is a good gravy, it passed my husband and he is horribly finicky so it HAS to be good.

Dried Beef Cheese Ball

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2009
I have been making this for our Christmas Eve Party for about ten years and it is always a massive hit. I cannot believe someone rated this as awful! I can only say that they must have really screwed it up, which seems impossible. This recipe, or one very close to it since we always add a little garlic powder, was so popular with my sister in Britain that we have to mail her care packages of dried beef so she can make it back home.

Chicken Manicotti Alfredo

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009
This was good but I had some small problems with the end result. The filling wound up being a little too dry for my taste, I think next time I will omit the egg and see what happens. My hubby thought it was too rich and too cheesy but he is very picky anyway. It was good and went a long way but I don't know if it was worth all the time it took to prepare.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009
This was one of the best soups I have ever made. My notoriously picky husband thought it was awesome. The only change I made was to use chicken broth and the juices from when I baked the ham previously instead of water and bouillion. It has a great creamy, smooth texture and a delicious flavor. Really fantastic.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009
This was so easy to make and it turned out wonderfully. My husband literally stood around in the kitchen waiting for it to be done. He gave me a five star rating so I had to pass it on. Best Banana Bread I have ever had.

Chicken Lo Mein

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2009
This was pretty good. I do agree with another reviewer that the addition of oyster sauce would add some more depth to the sauce. I also found that the noodles (I used spaghetti) will soak up that sauce as it sits and cools. The leftovers were less soupy and bore more of a resemblance to restaurant style than the freshly made dish. I did have to make a couple of adjustments. I used ground ginger, switched the noodle type and I used shrimp since I had some I wanted to get rid of. All in all this is a nice recipe, it is adaptable which is always nice and my very picky husband ate it without complaint...after I picked out the mushrooms from his serving.

Easy Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2009
I was looking for interesting new things to do with my existing recipe when I found this one. I would honestly have never thought to use string cheese. Thank you so much for sharing this, it makes the wrapping process so much easier and the cheese stays inside instead of melting out into the pan. Great addition! Thanks!

Swiss 'n' Bacon Pizza

Reviewed: Feb. 9, 2009
This was really good but be forewarned: it is really rich. Both my husband and I could only eat one slice a piece. I did adjust the recipe a little, but only to make a larger pizza, essentially I doubled most of the ingredients. I will definitely make this again but probably stick to what the recipe states and make half as much as I made this time.

Four Cheese Macaroni

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009
This is an excellent recipe. I made it in a pinch after someone requested it at a Christmas Eve dinner. I didn't have everything I needed so I improvised. I had to use fat free milk instead of half and half so I added mayo to the mixture to give it some richness. I left out the egg because of this and I had to use the cheeses I had in the fridge instead of the ones listed. It was the best I have ever made and there was none leftover.

Peanut Butter Bars I

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2008
I made these for my boyfriend and didn't get a good review. I don't like sweet stuff so I only nibbled one and it seemed fine to me but he only ate one and then hid the rest in the back of the fridge (I think he was afraid to tell me he didn't like them.) He is a fussy eater though so perhaps it is much more his issue than the recipe.

Egg Drop Soup (Better than Restaurant Quality!)

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2008
I was really happy with what I wound up with. I was looking for something warm and cozy and as close to our local Chinese Restaurant as possible. This was a good pick. I made one adjustment, adding more cornstarch because I like a thicker consistency but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Next time I am going to add some sweetcorn, like the local restaurant does just to see what I end up with. Thanks for a yummy recipe!

Chicken and Dressing Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2008
I really enjoyed this meal, as did my family. It was incredibly easy to make, really gooey and tasty. I used chicken broth, just because I use that in almost everything as a substitute for water, and added some salt and pepper to the soup mixture, other than that I followed the recipe to a tee. Thanks for this, it is a definite keeper.

Yellow Squash Casserole

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2008
I had never made squash casserole before but I had a request for it for a family Christmas dinner. It was the first thing to go! I have frequent requests to make this again. Thanks for a yummy recipe.

Sour Cream Mushroom Chicken

Reviewed: May 8, 2008
Even though at first I totally messed this recipe up I managed to save it and it was wonderful. I served mine with green beans and roasted baby Dutch potatoes and it was a hit. One note: use a shallow baking dish like the recipe states, not a deep one like I tried to. Your chicken just will not cook in that one hour in the deeper dish. Lesson learned!

Yia Yia's Tzatziki Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2008
I made this to go with gyros and it was perfect. It had a wonderfull cool flavor. You could also use this as a veggie dip but if you do I would recommend adding some seasonings and so on (Greek seems the best choice). I'm so glad I chose this recipe.

Eggplant Croquettes

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2008
These are wonderful. The flavors are great. The only problem I have had with them is getting them to stay together while I am cooking. Sometimes they do great, sometimes I end up with a big pile of goo. But it's tasty goo!

Chicken Claridge Stew

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2008
I honestly don't know why I first chose to make this because the recipe didn't appeal to me, but I made it anyway. I am so glad I did. It was delicious. I served it with a loaf of fresh French bread and everyone went back for seconds. Definitely a keeper!

Chicken Enchiladas II

Reviewed: Apr. 28, 2008
My family has not shut up about this recipe since the first time I made it. They made me cook it two more times the following week and have been pestering me ever since. It is well worth it!
