To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: apr. 7, 2009
I am rating this recipe 3-stars for taste alone. I don't know what I did wrong, but my batch was fairly overdone on top @ 20 minutes (and I made sure my oven was baking at the correct temperature). I folowed the directions and filled the muffin cups to the top. The result was sloppy and strange looking, to say the least. I used the suggested lower butter crumb recipe from another reviewer and did not over-top the muffins. Mine still sunk like crazy. They taste fine, but maybe I'm missing something? I thought I followed all directions correctly, and I definitely did not overmix. Hmmm, I may revisit this one again and see if I get different results.

Buffalo Shrimp

Reviewed: feb. 25, 2009
Came out pretty good. I used egg and only dipped the shrimp once (impatient). The shrimp were crispy and had a good flavor.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: feb. 10, 2009
These turned out well for me, baked for 10 minutes. I did add a little flour to help with consistency, and used a bit of vanilla extract.

Easy Bacon and Cheese Quiche

Reviewed: feb. 10, 2009
I made two quiches, one with bacon (real) and gruyere/swiss cheese and one with frozen spinach and cheddar. I didn't have deep dish pie crusts, so I left out one egg and used less milk (I didn't have any cream). They both turned out lovely, but a little bit bland. I would increase the cheese next time and use some more seasoning. Overall, very easy and good!

Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed: jan. 26, 2009
Perfect ribs! I did three racks cut into six portions, wrapping them in foil after rubbing with a brown sugar/cayenne pepper mixture. After letting the ribs refrigerate in the rub for a few hours, I baked them in the foil on a baking pan @ 300 for 2hrs 40mins. I unwrapped the packets, basted with Famous Dave's Sweet and Sassy sauce and broiled for about 6 minutes. Better than any restaurant!

Honey Mustard Beer Brats

Reviewed: jan. 22, 2009
I thought this was tasty, coming from someone who doesn't really like brats. (I think this would be SLAMMIN' with Italian sausage) I followed the recipe as written. I do recommend Dave's famous Georgia Mustard barbeque sauce--delish!

Habanero Pepper Cream Pasta

Reviewed: jan. 12, 2009
I liked the sauce, but next time I think I would cut some of the parmesan cheese out; it was a little much. I skipped the flour step, since the sauce was thick enough with all the cheese. I used two habaneros that I oven-roasted. I could have easily used four or maybe even five! This recipe does yield a lot of sauce, which I liked considering I used a larger box of pasta.

Easy Slow Cooker French Dip

Reviewed: jan. 9, 2009
Don't get me wrong, this was easy and tasted pretty good--but--it reminded me too much of pot roast on rolls. My husband really loved it though, so 4-stars overall. Like another reviewer mentioned, I melted Provolone on the rolls. Definitely experiment with seasonings on this one, without a lot of seasoning this would be very bland!

Grandma's Corn Pudding

Reviewed: jan. 7, 2009
This was my first time eating, much less cooking, corn pudding. I halved the recipe and wished that I hadn't! It was so good and different from anything I've ever had (city girl here). I ate most of it myself--this is a definite keeper! Don't change a thing.

Bone-In Ham Cooked in Beer

Reviewed: jan. 6, 2009
OK, all I could find at the store was an already cooked 4lb boneless ham. I used a quarter of a bottle of beer and a few pinapple slices w/ the juices poured on. I baked the ham, covered, for about 50 minutes @ 325. I uncovered the ham, sprinkled some brown sugar on top and basted the heck out of it. I turned up the heat to 400 and baked for about 20 more minutes, basting a couple more times. The end result was moist and delicious! I can only imagine how this would be if I had actually done it correctly!

Horseradish Deviled Eggs

Reviewed: jan. 5, 2009
Very good, but called for too much mayo in my opinion. I will definitely use this recipe again, but cut the mayo down. Thanks for sharing!

Ricotta Gnocchi

Reviewed: jan. 4, 2009
I thought the gnocchi was very good; I doubled the recipe to have extra. I made the sauce as well, but didn't care for it. I will definitely make this again, using a different sauce.

Pennsylvania Coal Region Barbecue

Reviewed: dec. 29, 2008
Wow! I will never look at a can of Manwich the same way again. I ate my share of "sloppy joes" as a kid; I always found the sauce to be overpowering, gloppy and too tomato-y. This recipe, however, has just the right amount of moisture and a really nice combination of flavors. I did have to use spicy brown mustard in lieu of yellow, since I was out. Next time I will add hot sauce for more kick--though I don't think you really need to add or omit anything from this simple, fabulous dish. I served this on toasted/lightly buttered English muffins, which is the way I've always eaten my Manwich. My only complaint is that I didn't make enough!

Teary-Eyed Fried Pork Chops

Reviewed: dec. 25, 2008
Very tasty, but mine did not come out crispy. Most of the coating escaped into the cooking oil. I think I will try dipping in egg before the flour next time.

Spinach and Feta Pita Bake

Reviewed: dec. 22, 2008
Delicious lunch idea. Easy to make and who doesn't love feta? I omitted the olive oil/parm cheese to keep it on the light side. I didn't miss the extra calories at all. I may use regular pesto next time; the sun-dried tomato pesto reminds me too much of plain tomato sauce.

Monkey Bread I

Reviewed: dec. 22, 2008
Delish! I messed it up by adding too much butter to the brown sugar sauce and it was stll awesome. Diabetic coma-inducing, but sooo good. I made one third of the recipe in a baking dish (15 mins @ 350) since there were only two of us.

Cuban Ropa Vieja

Reviewed: nov. 23, 2008
I thought this was very good served over white rice. I am still shocked at how tender the steak was; I ususally hate anything involving flank steak aka London Broil. I added hot sauce for spice and will probably throw in some chopped hot peppers next time. Delicious and ridiculously easy--I set the slow cooker to low before leaving for work and it was ready to shred when I got home!

Too Much Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: nov. 19, 2008
Excellent, extremely rich chocolate cake! I dusted mine with some powdered sugar, and that is quite enough for me. I think I'd go into diabetic shock if I tried to add any kind of frosting! Easy to make and delish! Thanks.

Honey Ribs

Reviewed: nov. 17, 2008
Pretty good ribs! Mine were falling apart after 4.5 hours on high; I threw them under the broiler to brown them--this is a must in my opinion, as they come out of the slow cooker rather pale and uncrispy! I would make these again.
