MMMMM... Brownies

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2012

Chocolate Heaven....I made the recipe as written and baked this as mini-muffins. It made 24 little pieces of heaven. I baked them until puffed and set for 12 minutes. I used Ghiraldelli chocolate chips which made them very rich and full of chocolate. They are so nice to grab and run. Crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. Sorry though, can't eat just one. Took these to work and they said I needed to practice making these and should make them every day for a month. LOL

Marinated Tuna Steak

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2012

Just excellent. I marinaded the tuna for 30-45 minutes and then grill seared it on a very hot gas grill. It took about 3 minutes on each side and it was seared on the outside and nice and red in the middle. I served it with fresh asparagus and grilled Ciabatta Bread. Great dinner. My favorite way to make fresh tuna.

Creamy Carrot Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 10, 2012

Oh My...this is so good. I had leftovers from Easter and used all my orange glazed carrots and mashed potatoes. It was so easy with this, otherwise I used the recipe except for using a can of evaporated milk for the heavy cream. It was still so rich. I put a dollop of sour cream in each bowl and topped it was fresh chives. It was so pretty and so good. I also used 2 cloves of garlic sauteed with the onions. This was so rich that we had nothing else with it for dinner and served with whole grain dinner rolls. Yummy!

Chicken Avocado Pizza

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2012

This just was not to my liking. I love avocados and chicken but not on a pizza. The avocado was just blah and this had no taste. I would have rather had the chicken and the avocado separate and made a nice salad with it or something. Avocados hot is not pleasant.

Banana Split Dessert

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2012

Yum. Very good creamy dessert. Remember this has RAW eggs in it so the eggs should be VERY fresh and remind pregnant women that this has raw eggs. Garnish with marshino cherries and nuts. Pretty and very good.

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2012

Nice fluffy pancakes. I made them the night before and refrigerated and then let the batter sit at room temp before frying for a 1//2 hr. Do not stir batter before frying. I used a 1/4 c. for each pancake. I put blueberries on 1/2 of the pancakes when frying. I sprinkled a little sugar over the blueberries before adding. Another favorite recipe on Allrecipes. The batter keeps well for several days.

Danish Pastry Apple Bars II

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2012

I have made this recipe for 30 years and always gets rave reviews. My son requested this every year for his birthday. It was not his birthday unless he got his apple bars. It is a great fall treat. I like to put on a caramel frosting on this but the powdered sugar frosting if fine also.

Made the sauce as is and used left over pork tenderloin for the meat. I served it over rice with peppers/onions. It was tasty and a nice change.

Popovers

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2012

Very good. I served them with the cinnamon honey butter. I put the ingredients in the blender and just pulse blended. Can't wait to serve them again as they are so easy to make.

Salmon Chowder

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2012

We really enjoyed this chowder. I used fresh leftover salmon in this and left out the cheddar cheese to reduce the fat and calories. We did not miss the cheese and it was very yummy. The chowder was nice and thick without it also.

Hash Brown Casserole II

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2012

This is also one of our families favorite go-to recipes. I sometimes use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken if I don't have it and it works well also. This goes so nice with about everything and something you can put together before dinner. It keeps well in the frig for about a week or I freeze in smaller dishes for just the two of us. The cornflakes on the top is a must.

Chocolate Eclair Dessert

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2011

Every time I make this it get rave reviews and am asked for the recipe. I tell them to go to all recipes.com. I change the puddings every time and always use a home made chocolate frosting recipe which ware on this site. This time I used cream cheese pudding. The time before I used chocolate pudding and cinnamon Graham crackers. I love chocolate and cinnamon. It is just fun to play with and always enjoyed from seniors to children. I garnish with different chips/toffee chips/nuts. Always fun and good.

Homemade Butter

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2011

So fun to make. I too had some heavy whipping cream that was at its expiration date so thought I might as well give it a try. I used my Kitchen Aide Mixer and put it on medium until it started to thicken and then put on high and let it go. It changed from cream to butter very quickly at the end. I heard the mixer slow down and heard the water splattering. Yup, it was a mess. I had buttermilk all over the cupboards/counter/appliances/etc. Next time I will try it in the food processor or blender. I had almost a full quart of cream and it made about 1 1/2 c. butter and 1 1/2 c. buttermilk. I am going to cook something with the buttermilk also. I just squeezed my butter with my hands to get out all the buttermilk and it turned out great. I will be doing this soon. FUN and MESSY but worth it.

Sausage Oyster Dressing

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2011

If you like oysters, this is the bomb. My family always request this when I make dressing. I cut up my oysters with a scissors so they are not so big. I usually have to use canned oysters in this as we do not get fresh oysters in our area very often. I do not use 2 pkg. of sausage as that is too much for us but otherwise, I do follow the recipe. If using unseasoned bread crumbs, I add 1 teaspoon of sage OR poultry seasoning. If I have fresh sage I use a tablespoon of diced fresh sage instead of dry. When making dressing I make an oyster dressing and also a plain dressing without the oysters for those that do not like oysters. You can use the same recipe and leave out the oysters. Very good stuffing.

Quick Quiche

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2011

Very easy and quick. I make this for breakfast,lunch or dinner. I use the base of this with eggs/milk/flour/butter (process this in the blender) and then change the other ingredients often. Example: sausages,bacon, or crab, fresh diced tomatoes, green peppers, onion, red peppers, spinach, asparagus, etc. There are so many ways to change it to your family's likings. Tonight it is for dinner with diced cooked sausage links, onion, peppers, fresh diced tomatoes and cheddar cheese. I topped it off with a little Parmesan cheese for a little crunch to enhance the tomatoes. I also use fresh herbs in this dish. It does make a little crust on its own with the flour. Serve some fresh fruit and muffins and it is a nice meal anytime. It freezes quite well also. Cut individual pieces and heat in microwave for a quick breakfast.

Becky's Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2011

The mayo/cream made a great dressing. It was creamy with a little sweetness without adding sugar. I didn't have grapes tonight so added 1/4 c of chopped sweet onion and 1/4 c. chopped green pepper and 1/2 c. of Craisins. I used chopped pecans instead of almonds as that is what I was hungry for. I have made this several times before and always change the ingredients but use the mayo/cream dressing. Use your imagination. I served fresh fruit on the side and baguette bread.

Fried Dill Pickles

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2011

I was introduced to these at the Pickle Factory Restaurant Bar at Pepin WI. It is located on Lake Pepin on the Mississippi River and is at a wharf area. Of course they are famous for the Fried Dill Pickles. It is a cool popular place if you every get to Wisconsin. I crave these and this is a great recipe. Not the healthiest so that is the 4 star but sometimes we eat things not too healthy. I do like some panko crumbs mixed in with this (1/2 c.). It seems lighter and a different batter. They serve it with Ranch Dressing but I am going to play with a little hot sauce in it. Now I can make these at home and not have to drive 500 miles.

Chicken Enchiladas II

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2011

Love this recipe. I always get compliments when I serve this and request for the recipe. I cook a large chicken breast in a slow cooker with taco seasoning until it falls apart and then I shred it. Double the sauce so it does not get dry and always use corn and not flour tortillas. One of our favorite Mexican recipes.

Mother-In-Law Eggs

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2011

This recipe is closest to our family recipe. I have tried many other deviled egg recipes on this site but my family likes the traditional plain eggs. I use 1/4 c. mayonnaise instead of 2 tbsp. as we like it creamier. I do not use hot mustard in this as family does not like it. I used a pastry blender to break up the yolk which made it very smooth. When you pipe the filling in, it looks so pretty and the addition of the sliced olive on top always brings an "Oh, these are so gorgeous". If you don't have an egg plate, I lay these on a bed of shredded lettuce which makes it pretty. Make lots as they go fast.
