Buddy's and Bubba's Homemade Dog Food

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2009
I'm making my 3rd batch today (making a double batch finally, this recipe only lasts for 5 days with our big doggy!) and she's been doing great on it.

Baked Basil Fries

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009
I used this as a place to start. I cooked them in a frying pan as my oven was full. I cut the potatoes using my ancient veg-o-matic. In the fry pan, I added oil, basil, some oregano and thyme, and chopped garlic, heated that up, then added the potatoes. Mixed the potatoes all around to coat then sprinkled Parmesan cheese all over, stirred again, lowered the heat and covered. Took about 12 minutes and they were perfect.

Fried Rice Restaurant Style

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2009
I'm still working on working this recipe to be "just right" but it's a good starting point. 2 cups water for 1 cups rice is too much though, I use a little bit over 1-3/4 cup water per cup of rice. Some sort of sauce in place of, or in addition to, the soy sauce is a must. I've been working with Oyster Sauce and it's getting close but still not quite right. It's good (I have to bring out my biggest metal mixing bowl usually reserved for feeding hoards of kids popcorn), but I want perfect.

Bumbleberry Pie II

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009
I used what I had on hand - 4 cups apples, 2 cups rhubarb, 2 cups blackberries and 4 cups strawberries. I also used 4T cornstarch in place of the tapioca, and store bought pie crust to save time. I'm allergic to strawberries, but my whole family said this pie was perfect. Just the right sweet-tart combination and great flavor. Thanks!

Hamburger Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009
As it's written, I would give it no stars because the onion soup mix has MSG in it, which gives me a wicked migraine! So I had to modify it a bit, but my husband and I give the resulting soup 5 stars. My kids are insane and didn't like it, which is weird (they aren't that picky). I doubled the recipe (6 of us), and used 2 lbs ground beef, 4 cups chicken and 4 cups beef broth, and 8 cups water, 2 T of dried minced onion and 2 tsp onion powder (which I mixed into the ground beef while it was browning), 4-8oz cans tomato sauce, 4 stalks celery, a bag of stir fry veggies (it's all I had), and tri-colored rotini pasta. Once it was cooked, we added lots of shredded cheese. It has an excellent flavor! I have no doubt the original recipe tastes good too, but I'm not going to risk a migraine to find out. I'm going to use "normal" veggies next time and see if they kids like it better (I doubt it'll change the flavor much, just look more normal to them!).

Playgroup Granola Bars

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2009
Excellent! I just made these, they are still warm. I'm out of wheat germ, so I omitted that. I used whole wheat flour, canola oil and golden raisins. I added applesauce, and maybe a 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips. My very, very, VERY pick 4 year old, who has like 4 foods he eats, is eating these up! Next time, I will use 1/3-1/2 cup brown sugar, it's a little too sweet for me, but still very good!

Chocolate Covered Caramel Surprise Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2008
Instant keeper. I omitted the pecans, used 26 caramels (recipe made 26 cookies), slightly warmed and flattened and I was out of white chocolate chips so I used butterscotch. Very good!

Southern Peach Cobbler

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2008
I followed the recipe exactly except I used ascorbic acid (powdered Vitamin C, you can get it in the food preservation section of the grocery store) instead of lemon juice and this is so incredibly good!!

Creamy Rice Pudding

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2008
This is the recipe I've spent 15 years looking for. My dad made rice pudding like this when I was a kid and I just adored it, but his memory is shot and couldn't remember how to make it. This is it! Thank you!

World's Best Lasagna

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2008
I made a few small changes, but really kept the recipe the same, so I can give it 5 stars. This is so darn tasty! I decreased the sugar to 1 tsp, used 1/2 fresh basil leaves, cut out the 1 tablespoon salt, added a tiny pinch of cinnamon to the ricotta mixture and used loads more mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. =)

Honey Mustard Dressing II

Reviewed: Feb. 29, 2008
I didn't use the amounts, just checked which ingredients were used and made it to taste. I used regular yellow mustard but it needed something so I added brown mustard and it was perfect! Thank you!

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2007
Be necessity, I had to change a few things. I used shells (didn't have lasagna noodles) and did not have spinach or ricotta, but this turned out GREAT. I can't wait to make it again "correctly"!

Taqueria Style Tacos - Carne Asada

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2007
Amazing recipe, too spicy for the kids, but they're kinda wimpy in that respect :) I follow the recipe exactly up to the salsa, I just use our preferred jarred to save a little time. The marinade makes AWESOME chicken too!

Good flavor, they make excellent rolls, but a little too hard for hamburgers. Will make again though, just need to tweak it a bit.

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed: May 12, 2007
I have to give the recipe as-is only 4 stars because the instructions say 15 min at 400F, but the one I'm eating right now isn't fully cooked. But it's so darn good, I can't stop! Next time, it'll be perfect.

I doubled the vanilla, and used margarine cause I was out of butter, and these turned out amazing. Between my husband, my 3 older kids and myself, they only lasted a day!
