This was outstanding for a potato salad. It was so tasty and creamy. I practically ate the whole bowl myself and I do not like potato salad. I used fat free sour cream and light mayo. The only changes I made was that I added 1/4 cup of finely sliced red onion because I didn't have onion salt. This now replaces my mom's...Sorry ma!!!

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2008

I made this for Father's Day and it was a huge hit. The burgers were delicious. I added some yellow fondant "cheese" on top and two fondant hot dogs with grill marks. Surprisingly easy.

Quick Quiche Cups

Reviewed: May 21, 2008

I made these for mother's Day brunch and recieved a lot of compliments. They were pretty easy to make but they weren't as pleasing to the eye as I expected them to be.Next time I will add some shredded cheese on top the last few minutes of baking.

Patriotic Trifle

Reviewed: May 21, 2008

I make this for 4th of July every year and it always goes. The best part is that you can use fat free/ sugar free or light versions of the pudding and coolwhip and it doesn't make it any less yummy. I usually add slivered almonds on top.

Smothered Green Beans

Reviewed: Feb. 3, 2008

These were really good. To save on time I used pre cooked bacon (which cut down on the grease tremendously)and fresh green beans. These were gone in a minute.

I followed the recipe exactly, except I added regular white wine(it was all I had) and sprinkled grated mozzarella on top. Big hit at the table.

Restaurant-Quality Baked Potato Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2007

This was excellent. I baked the potatoes in the microwave, used roasted garlic instant mashed potatoes and omitted the cornstatrch and half & half, because it was already so thick. This will be a staple in my house.

Goat Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2007

These are soooo good. They make a great "fancy" fancy party appetizer, but are so simple to make. I did add chopped basil leaves and a touch of garlic salt to the cheese mixture to give a bit of extra flavor. I also used small tomatoes off the vine.

Rempel Family Meatloaf

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2007

Not a big fan of meatloaf, but this was outstanding. My husband RAVED about how moist and tasty is was. I served it with tomato sauce and put chopped tomatoes and fresh mushrooms on top, the last 15 minutes of cooking. This is a keeper!

Linzer Tarts

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2006

These were fantastic!!!! I followed the advice of others and ground the almonds into a powder...it just works better. I also froze the dough in three balls, for about 2 hours, and they rolled out fine. A tip I learned...sandwich the dough between wax paper before you roll it out. It is easier to peel the dough off paper than a rolling pin. I also us3ed strawberry preserves and they were so yummy. Definitely a keeper!!!!

Basic Fondue

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2006

I tried this for Thanksgiving and it went over well, however, I only used 3 cups of cheese, 3/4 cup of milk and 1 cup of beer. I added more worsterchire sauce and mustard for extra zing. I also tossed the cheese with flour prior to melting and it was smooth as can be. We dipped granny snith apples, and pumperniclke bread. Very yummy.

Portobello Mushroom, Fresh Peppers and Goat Cheese Pizza

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2006

As the original submitter of this recipe, I have since changed a few things when I make this. I sautee the mushrooms in soy sauce and water. I use roasted red peppers from the jar instead of fresh and I sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top. Also, it helps to cook the dough for about 5 minutes prior to adding the toppings. Glad most of you are enjoying it!!!

Rainbow Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2005

These were excellent...just like the traditional Italian recipe my family keeps secret. Just a few tips...spray Pam on the corners of the pans UNDER the parchment paper to keep it from sliding around when spreading the dough. Also, sprinkling chocolate jimmies on top of the melted chips makes it festive and forgiving of flaws. Use the canned paste, not the roll...its much easier to work with. These are time consuming but soooo worth it!

Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies II

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2005

These are really good. Definitely double the recipe, because I only got one cookie sheet full which was not enough for a cookie exchange. Also, if you add more cherry jiuce to the frosting , it comes out tastier and smoother.
