Breaded Toasted Ravioli

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
These were good, not great. Easy and simple. The only thing that I did different was to spray the raviolis with olive oil cooking spray. I felt that without that step they could tend to be overly dry. Also watch them as they bake; they could overcook.

Tofu Lasagna

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2009
I found that I had to make so many alterations to this recipe to bring it up to standards - needed more sauce, more seasonings, more cheese, etc. - that by the time I was finished it was not even the same recipe anymore.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2009
This pie was REALLY good, but I could only give it 4 stars because there's no cinnamon in the recipe! How can you make apple pie without cinnamon? Sorry, but I gotta have it. Other than that this pie was mmm-good and easy.

Italian Vegetarian Patties

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2009
I love, love, love these patties! The only changes I made were, 1) adding about 1/2 cup of chopped onions to the hot oil and rice, and 2) to use a light-flavored olive oil rather than vegetable oil, in keeping with my efforts to make healthier food choices. I didn't have to alter the amount of water, or change the recipe in any other way. Not sure why onions would not be included in the recipe, though. To me, onions are the backbone of flavorful, savory cooking. I love how these patties were not dry or cardboard-like, as so many vegetarian "meat" recipes can be. Thank you for this recipe, SHECOOKS2. It is a keeper! Even my meat-and-potatoes husband liked them.

Cookie Balls

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009
I made these for my husband's birthday party, and everyone passed on the cake so that they could eat these yummies instead! Personally, I thought that they were too sweet. I am giving this recipe a 5 simply because I seem to have been outnumbered by those that thought they were simply heaven on earth. Next time I make them I will use semisweet morsels instead of the white chocolate chips, to cut the sweetness. I will also try other flavors of sandwich cookie - lemon, vanilla, etc. I rate these highly because they are SO SIMPLE and the results are so impressive.

Mother's Ham Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2008
I really loved this casserole, but am only giving it four stars due to the excess saltiness of the original recipe. I cut way down on the salt to 1/4 teaspoon, since both ham and celery are already salty. I also used saltine crackers crumbs for topping, since I didn't have soft bread crumbs. Thanks for a good leftover ham recipe. Yum.

Blackberry Pie III

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2008
I don't know why this pie has had so many rave reviews. I made it exactly as the recipe stated, except I DOUBLED the amount of flour, since all the reviewers said it was too runny. Even with that alteration, this pie dripped a massive amount of juice when it was baking, and ended up way too runny, even with the added thickening from the flour. I pride myself on my home-baked pies, and I will never make this one again! I gave this pie two stars, and even then it was only because it at least had a good flavor.

Walter's Chicken and Mac

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2008
I am giving this recipe 4 stars rather than 5 simply because, while it is really good as is, I like my doctored-up version better. As with most recipes, I like to give this one my own flare. I use a 7.5 oz. package of macaroni and cheese (Kraft or generic, it doesn't matter)instead of just macaroni. That gives the recipe an even more cheesy taste. Instead of the Cream of Chicken soup and the mushrooms, I use Cream of Mushroom soup. I chop up the onions, but also some celery, and I saute them in a fry pan with about 3 T. butter. Then when they are tender, I add the cooked and cut-up chicken and I fry it all together for a bit, until the chicken has some nice brown to it. Due to the fact that I use the store-bought mac and cheese mix that has the powdered cheese packet, I do add more milk than the recipe calls for (about 1-1/2 cups). At the end of baking, I sprinkle a mixture of butter and saltine cracker crumbs onto the top and bake about another five to ten minutes, until crisp. Whoever "Walter" is, thanks for this yummy recipe! We need to submit a better photo of it for this site--the current one is not a very appetizing presentation. :-)

Hershey's ® 'Perfectly Chocolate' Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2007
If I could give this cake 6 stars, I would!! This is by far THE best chocolate cake I have ever had! The cake batter mixes up really thin after adding the water. Don't worry - it will bake up to be very dense and rich. I made one yesterday for my husband's birthday. We ate one piece each, then shared with friends. I am baking another one right now to take to work tomorrow. I don't share recipes until they are up to my high standards. This one definitely is! Note: if you want a little different taste to the cake, try adding strong coffee instead of the hot water. Yum!

Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2007
Didn't want to pay for filet mignon, so I purchased New York steaks instead. Didn't really matter - the meat was awesome cooked like this and the glaze - oh my gosh, was it good!!! I have since used that same glaze on chicken and on salmon, with equally yummy results.

Asparagus Cashew Rice Pilaf

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2007
This is a new favorite for our family. Very good. I use Orzo pasta rather than the spaghetti that the recipe calls for and I like it better that way (have tried the other way).

Whipped Carrots And Parsnips

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2006
I am not really a root vegetable fan, but these were really good. A nice blend of flavors, and simple to make. The family liked them.

Garlic Cheese Biscuits

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2006
These truly are as good as the biscuits served at that certain seafood restaurant chain. Light and flaky, cheesy, savory bundles of bliss. The only thing I felt they needed was a bit of Lawry's seasoned salt added to the batter. I did not measure - just added to taste.

Health Nut Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2006
While there is no mistaking these for the ooey-gooey cookies that we are used to, they are very good and they are so healthy that they make you feel like you are really doing something good for your sweet tooth. I grinded up all of the seeds into a meal before adding to the mix, and added raisins for sweetness and moisture. Yum!

Baked Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2006
I never would have thought that I could eat mashed potatoes that were better than the ones I have made all my life. These however, were absolutely awesome. I used about 2/3 regular potatoes, and the other 1/3 I used sweet potatoes, since that is all I had on hand. My husband, who does not like mushy foods OR sweet potatoes, absolutely raved about these. Almost ate the entire tray himself! This is a keeper!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2005
In my opinion, these cookies were way too flat to earn the five star mark. The taste was good, but after adding more flour and 2 eggs (rather than the 1 egg and 1 egg yolk in the recipe), the dough was still too runny to be cookie dough. I even tried refrigerating the dough prior to baking, but they still spread out way too much while baking. I was pretty disappointed. I will continue to search out an acceptable chocolate chunk cookie recipe.
