Eggplant Parmesan II

Reviewed: jun. 22, 2009
This is an ingenious method to unguilt eggplant parmesan. I am withholding the fifth star because there is much which is subjective...sauce, "Italian seasoned bread crumbs", covered or uncovered. I have eggplants in the garden this year so I will use this often. Thanks for posting.

Portobello Mushroom Burgers

Reviewed: jun. 1, 2009
I made these exactly per the recipe except for adding carmelized onions. They're very good. If I ever go vegetarian, this will be in the top 5.

Strawberry Cream Freeze: Serve it Your Way!

Reviewed: may 13, 2009
I could have done something wrong, but this is a fairly simple recipe so I don't think so. I let it set up in the freezer about 6 hrs. My fresh strawberry pieces were jaw breakers and when I let it sit out so they would melt a little, the pudding/cream cheese/cool whip/cookie part turned into mush quickly with no crispy cookie texture. I used my own homemade strawberry freezer jam in place of the ice cream topping and that gave it a really great strawberry taste. All in all, I'd say this dish has an identity crisis: Is it ice cream? Is it pudding? Is it cheesecake? Beats me. I won't be making it again and I'm not looking forward to finishing the rest of it that's still in the freezer. Sorry.

Fresh Strawberry Pie I

Reviewed: may 4, 2009
This is a delicious pie. I used a store-bought chocolate graham cracker crust that was collecting dust in the pantry and I spread cream cheese on the crust for richness like others suggested. I loaded up my pie with strawberries and had enough leftover glaze for a second pie...but no crust. So I made strawberry "pudding". Thanks for sharing this recipe. Four stars only because it's so simple.

Hasselback Potatoes

Reviewed: apr. 27, 2009
This rates a 5 for being something new to do with potatoes, but the flavor wasn't what I'd hoped for. I will definitely try again and tweak to suit my tastes. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: apr. 20, 2009
I probably shouldn't be reviewing this because I didn't measure anything that went into the pot. However, I did use all the ingredients (minus salt) and a couple extras to use up leftovers. I'm calling this is a great "template recipe". Thanks for sharing.

Banana Muffins II

These are simple and delicious. Other than adding nuts, I followed the recipe exactly. Nice crown, texture and finish. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Ooey-Gooey Cinnamon Buns

Reviewed: apr. 7, 2009
Other than switching raisins for pecans, I followed this recipe exactly. I added a couple tablespoons of milk to dough because it seemed dry while mixing in the KA. After that, the dough was very easy to work with. They are everything you want in sticky buns. Very substantial and the recipe is well-written. Perfect amount of ooey-gooey. I baked them in a 9 X 14 pan.

Dirty Diapers

Reviewed: apr. 1, 2009
Test run before a big baby shower next month, I made these to suit the 4 kids next door--no pickles or onions. I melted the cheese into the browned ground beef and went from there. Very easy to do. I trimmed the long tail off the crescent roll dough and reformed the leftover dough. I think I'd prefer them smaller for the shower so I'm planning to cut each roll in half and reshape myself to make an appropriate diaper...more bite-size. Can't wait to try them with seasonings. I think taco seasoning would be good too. But so far so good. Great presentation. Oh, and, the kids loved them. UPDATE: Made them smaller and with pickle and onions for today's shower. They are much tastier than the first go-round. They're a hit so I'm upgrading my rating to 5 stars!

Bird's Nests

Reviewed: mar. 31, 2009
I just finished my second batch of these adorable treats. I'd thought to practice these for Easter, but then saw the appropriateness to use them for favors for a baby shower we're having at work this week. I added a Peep for a bit more drama. I used hard shell chocolate eggs instead of jelly beans. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I highly recommend this one.

Glazed Meatloaf II

Reviewed: mar. 20, 2009
I'm of an age where I just couldn't use an actual recipe for meatloaf but I DID follow the glaze recipe and it was wonderful. I also threw some beef boullion into the mix which may have enhanced the flavor too. I'm sure I'll make this again.

Lemony Chicken Pasta Toss

We really enjoyed the lemon/mustard combination. I added in broccoli and a bit more broth. Very nice change of pace.

Cinnamon Raisin Bread I

Reviewed: mar. 19, 2009
My first attempt at cinnamon bread, this turned out quite delicious. I'm also delighted that it is so beautiful! I used the precise quantities called for but based on other bread-baking experience, I changed the add-in order of ingredients. I used my KA dough hook and since I didn't want the raisins beat up I added them last. I forgot the melted butter until after the second rise and I think adding it at that late time may have affected the crust. I'll report later the verdict from the four little guinea pigs next door.

French Bread Rolls to Die For

Reviewed: mar. 16, 2009
This is a great recipe for rolls. I baked them on my baguette pans and put poppy seeds on half. I followed the recipe exactly but adjusted temp. per the pan mfr. The dough is very nice to work with in the stated quantities. I used my KA mixer. The texture is very rustic like french bread and I'm quite quite pleased with my effort. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Tomato and Mozzarella Bites

Reviewed: mar. 11, 2009
This was a winner with the four little guinea pigs next door who had previously come only as close to eating tomatoes as ketchup. It's a very attractive dish and the kids liked the little plastic sword picks I served them on. I drizzled with balsamic glaze. I will make this again often.

Benne Wafers

Reviewed: mar. 2, 2009
The taste is everything I remember from Charleston. I love that nuttiness. I used the recommended parchment successfully. No problem with sticking. I may have done something wrong because nobody else mentioned their's turning out lacy. My baking powder is not out of date but they just didn't rise--not that the laciness isn't exquisite. I may cut back on butter or add flour to tweak.

Cincinnati Chili I

Reviewed: mar. 2, 2009
Changes I made: I did not brown the meat or onion per other reviewers. I added 50% more cinnamon and I cooked it in the crockpot all day. OMG! We loved this. The spice mixture is perfect. It tastes just like Skyline. I wished I hadn't used a red onion for our 4th way. It was close to overpowering. Because others had textural issues, I asked the butcher to regrind my beef. That worked very well and I may ask them to do that with a lot of my future ground beef purchases. Also, I used a Reynolds Oven Bag to line my crockpot. It worked beautifully but time will tell if we ingested anything toxic. Oh, well. Thanks for posting this recipe. The closest restaurant who serves this style is ten miles away, so I'm sure I'll make it again.

Baked Whole Cauliflower

Reviewed: mar. 2, 2009
My butter exploded all over the microwave as I was preparing this so in my panic I didn't do as thorough a job of it as I should have. Nevertheless, it was very tasty and it does make a lovely presentation. I'm going to try this again.
