Chocolate Covered Brownie Bites

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2009

I made these with white chocolate but the chocolate sauce was too thin. Next time I'll use less sweetened condensed milk.

Peppermint Snowballs

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2009

These are pretty and taste great but mine look nothing like the picture. They came out very flat. Next time I'll use cake flour and see if that helps.

A little too sweet but still delicious.

This was delicious! It was my first turkey and I was determined to do it right - no dried out turkey for my family! I brined the turkey for about 14 hours and then followed these instructions to season it, although I altered the rosemary mixture a little bit. I poured 2 cups of chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan (rather than a 1/4 inch of water). I basted the turkey every 30 minutes or so during cooking and added water a few times. Everyone agreed that the turkey was really moist and flavorful. This is the only turkey recipe I'll ever need.

Cranberry Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2009

This was really good. It tastes exactly like you would expect orange juice and cranberries to taste. I think next time I'll do 3/4 c orange juice and 1/4 c water to tone down the orange juice flavor.

Picnic Slaw

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009

I didn't add carrots, green onions, or parsley but it was still really good. Next time I'll make sure I have all the ingredients - I'm sure it'll be even better.

Challah I

Reviewed: Oct. 20, 2009

I followed this recipe with no additions or deletions and it was really good. I wasn't so sure it would turn out that way, though. Eight cups of flour was not enough for me - I must've added two additional cups to the dough to get it to the right consistency. It also took a long time to rise - 2 1/2 hours instead of 1 1/2.

Herbal Tuna Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2009

My husband and I will never go back to plain tuna and mayo. This is delicious. The dill weed and rosemary are what 'make' it.

Easy Mexican Casserole

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2009

This tasted really good but it's not exactly something I want to serve my family for dinner. As I was putting it together I realized that it's basically nachos in casserole format. I think it's more of a party/potluck-type dish.

Peanut Noodles

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009

This was really good but too salty. Next time I'll use just 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce.

Sauteed Swiss Chard with Parmesan Cheese

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2009

This was a lot tastier than I expected - I think the wine was key. I served it over cous cous. Delicious!

Pesto Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009

This was easy to make and I liked that I didn't have to use pine nuts (walnuts are so much cheaper!). Plain, I didn't think this tasted like anything special. However, once it was combined with chicken, it was delicious!

Carrot and Fennel

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009

I needed to use the fennel I got with my CSA so I made this. It was really easy and really good. I used half-and-half instead of cream and needed >1/3 cup. I'll definitely make this again the next time I have fennel to use.
