Spinach Cheese Manicotti

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2012

Very delicious! I went ahead and added 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and about 2 tsp of italian seasoning. I replaced parsley with basil as well. I used 1 tsp minced garlic and used a little onion powder plus 1 Tbsp of minced onion. Pretty much the same stuff called for in the recipe just altered a bit to our tastes. I used the red sauce from a lasagna recipe i found on here (worlds best lasagna) instead and it was perfect!! Thank you for sharing this recipe, we all really loved it! Oh... I did also cook my manicotti for maybe 3 minutes or so before stuffing them... it worked great on cutting down the cooking time a bit but didn't make them too difficult to stuff!!

Classic Cinnamon Rolls

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2012

These are so good!! I did contemplate 4 stars though b/c I feel like they need to be baked with foil over top until the end... When I baked mine the outside was almost too done while the inside wasn't done enough. I baked in the type of pan called for and checked them often. I ended up taking them out of the oven even though the inside wasn't fully baked b/c they would have burned otherwise. Aside from that though they really tasted great and next time I'll just cover with foil and bake until almost done, then remove to bake to a golden brown.

Chicken Quesadillas

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2012

Hubby said these were the best he's had... even compared to a restaurant! We have found that we like our chicken shredded rather than cubed. I use the crock pot to bake my chicken and I use about a half cup chicken broth with it. It shreds so easy and comes out so moist!

Easy Chili I

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2012

Excellent and easy!! We didn't have jalapenos so I added some cayenne pepper (1tsp) to add a bit of extra spice. I also added in about 3/4 tsp celery salt, and maybe a tsp of basil and oregeno. Just to flavor it a little more. I usually don't like to alter a recipe before trying it once the way it calls for, but I have made chili so many times I thought it would be ok!! I'm sure it would have tasted good before my additions! I only added spices from another chili recipe I usually make from allrecipes. I think this one tasted just as good and was much easier! Thanks for sharing!

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meat Loaf

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2012

This was good but I thought it wasn't as moist as everyone said it was. I used your regular ground beef (not super lean). I had a feeling it wasn't as "moist" as the recipe indicated it would be so I was a little worried it would be a little dry... I was right but thought maybe the greese from the beef would help moisten it during the cooking process... I did 5 hours on low... maybe next time I should only do 3.5 or 4 and check it! I'll re-rate next time I try it! It was definately worth making it b/c the kids enjoyed it! I thought the topping was too sweet as well and I LOVE sweet stuff!!! I am glad I made the sauce and served it seperately!!

Apple Crumble Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2011

Oh my goodness... DELICIOUS!!!! Thank you!! I only made a few insignificant changes in my opinion. I always add more cinnamon, so I probably doubled that! I added 1 tablespoon of flour to that seasoning as well just b/c I didn't want to risk the chance of the pie filling to be too runny (based off past reviews) I mixed the apples w/ the seasoning prior to putting it into the crust. And my last change was purley b/c I heated the butter a little too much since it wasn't soft enough to cream w/ the sugar when I was ready for it... so I added equal amounts of flour, white sugar, and also brown sugar to the butter after it was too soft so it became crumbly vs creamy... I'm glad that happened b/c we LOVED the crumble topping and the fact that there was a lot more than usual was a big plus!!

Irish Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed: Oct. 3, 2011

So Good!!! I made a few changes only bc I didn't have time to 'test' this meal first!! I could only find a 16oz bag of peas, I added a half tsp pepper, upped the poultry seasoning, and added about a tsp each of oregano and basil. It was really good and my revisions didnt change the base of the recipe thats why I gave the full 5 stars!! Next time I plan on adding an extra can of soup and maybe an extra cup of water so there's more juice to do more dumplings... bc the dumplings are SO good!! Just not enough room to add all that dough!! I did it in sections.. maybe 10 dumplings, then as I dished it out I added more!! I'll use the extra dough for biscuits! Thanks so much for sharing!! This recipe is a sure keeper!

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2011

A year or 2 ago when I was looking for a good and easy recipe for pulled pork I saw this one and passed b/c I thought root beer sounded gross... So i went with another recipe (which was not as easy). I wasn't thrilled and thought ok, i'm going to try that root beer pulled pork recipe... and Oh My Gosh!!!! I wish I would have went with this recipe first!!! GET PAST the fact that it uses root beer b/c you will be so happy you tried it!! ONLY change I made is I use pork shoulder (aka pork butt) More tender and easy to shred!) Other than that... as many have said before... we love sweet baby rays!! I have made my own when time isn't an issue but you just can't go wrong with this amazing recipe. I've thought about (haven't tried yet) trying it using for my BBQ beef recipe that i got from allrecipes.com! Anyway, thank you so much for a staple summer time party food!!!

Robbi's M&M Cookies

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2011

I'm not sure why this recipe has any low star ratings... the person who said the dough was crumbly obviously didn't do something right despite what they might say... there is no way if you follow the recipe exactly that will happen! My M&M's stayed in the dough, the dough was delicious and my cookies came out perfect!! I will def. make again, next time I might try adding some peanut butter at the request of my daughter!! Thank you for sharing, this recipe has a great rating for a reason!!
