Traditional Indiana Breaded Tenderloin Sandwich

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2011

This was delicious. I made half with Panko bread crumb and half with regular bread crumbs. The regular crumbs seemed to cover the pork better, but they were both delicious. They were even great the next day.

Bone-in Pork Roast with Apple-Rhubarb Glaze

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2011

I thought this was a good blend of flavors and produced a very moist pork roast. I struggled a bit with the cooking method. My pork loin was only 3 lbs., so I decided to cook it for 3 hrs initially before adding the sauce. But It wasn't nearly ready, so I ended up increasing the temperature to 350 for the next hour when I added the sauce. At the end of that hour, the temperature was almost 160 degrees but the roast was soggy looking, so I increased the temperature to 425 for 15 minutes to brown it a bit. The sauce was tasty but 2 quarts of chicken stock was too much. I put half that amount and still had a pretty watery sauce. But the taste of rhubarb and apples was excellent. I think with some tweeking, this will be a great recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Halibut with Zesty Peach Salsa

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2011

I made this so I could use up some sweet summer Georgia Peaches and it turned out fantastic. The peach salsa was outstanding with just the right blend of flavors. The only change I made was to add 1/4 cup of peach preserves to the basting sauce to give it a bit more peach flavor. Delicious. Thanks for sharing!

Cavatelli, Broccoli and Mushrooms

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2011

This was one of the best side dishes I've made from Allrecipes. I love broccoli and mushrooms and struggle with ways to make them creative and new. The result was amazingly delicious. My only changes were using a vegetable corkscrew pasta instead of cavatelli, which created a colorful palatte. And I used fresh mushrooms. It was sooo good. I did add a bit of salt and pepper as well, but I thought it had great flavor; not bland at all. I can't wait until lunch tomorrow to have more and to schedule a dinner party so I can show it off! Thanks so much for a fabulous recipe.

Hamburgers Chili Dog Style

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2011

I've never had chili burgers before but made these for a neighborhood cookout. I only had hamburger buns, so I used those, but think they would probably taste the same. I don't really like canned chili, so I threw a pot together with Chili-O seasoning packet and it came out very good. I also added some Montreal Steak Seasoning to the ground beef, since I use that on just about everything and love the flavor. I offered the recipe with chili on the side, but almost everyone put the chili on their burger and raved about the taste. I might try this at some point in the future with sloppy joes as the topping. Great idea!

Cajun Chicken Pot Pie

Reviewed: Jun. 21, 2011

This was a great recipe. I have to admit that I did use full fat soups, but the end result was amazing.

Cheesy Artichoke Squares

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2011

This recipe was super-easy and delicious. The only change I made was using marinated artichoke hearts, instead of water-packed. The flavors were amazing and the crescent rolls created a delectable finger food that was quickly gobbled up at a neighborhood party last night.

Artichoke Bites I

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2011

I made these for a neighborhood get-together and they were a big hit. I made them just as described and loved the blend of flavors. I believe they were the first dish gone, but luckily, I saved a couple and they tasted great heated up the next day.

Fish Fillets Italiano

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2011

This is such an awesome recipe. It's a great base recipe that can be easily adjusted. I like it best with Tilapia instead of cod, mushrooms instead of olives, chicken broth instead of wine, and some Italian seasoning for a little more Italian taste.

Skillet Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onion

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2010

This is a quick and excellent recipe. I like to use butter instead of oil to brown the chops, extra Parmesan cheese, and chicken broth instead of beef broth. Yummy and sooo easy!

Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2010

I've made this recipe for several years now at Thanksgiving and I can honestly say that it's the best out there! The consistency is so creamy but not too sweet. The topping really makes it. Out of all of my Thanksgiving dishes, this one is gone first.

Fresh Salsa I

Reviewed: May 21, 2010

This had an unusual blend of flavors. I didn't really like the sweetness that much. With all the canned tomoatoes, it also wasn't really "Fresh" as described in the title. I think it would have been better with less sugar, less jalapenos, some cilantro, and fresh tomatoes.

Chicken Souiza Cornbread Bake

Reviewed: Mar. 23, 2010

I thought this was excellent! I followed the recipe except used full-fat sour cream, omitted the chile peppers and used fiesta corn (instead). Delicious!

Cashew Chicken Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2010

This recipe is delicious! I've made it a few times. The first time I made it as described and I felt the base was too soupy. Now when I make it, I omit the cream of mushroom soup and the consistency is perfect. As a personal preference, I also don't add the celery and use buttery crackers on top. I've changed around the cheese and really like a shredded - cheddar, mozzarella and pepper jack. The cashews really make a difference. Love it!!!

Chesapeake Bay Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2010

Unique taste for pork chops. I personally felt there was too much vinegar, and with the lime, it had a definite tart flavor. If I make these again, I'll half the vinegar and omit the lime.

This was a simple, quick dish that was very good. I served it with a Caesar salad and some crusty French bread and it was a perfect weekday meal. Thanks for sharing!
