Fresh Spring Rolls With Thai Dipping Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2010

These are really yummy and a great way to get kids to eat veggies..."it is fun to eat veggies all wrapped up" my kids tell me. I haven't made the sauce yet that goes with these rather I've "cheated" and bought hoisin sauce. I don’t like cilantro that much so I left it out. I find less is more when it comes to filling and then rolling these up without ripping the wrapper. I have made them ahead of time, covered them with a damp paper towel and they’ve tasted fine.

Double Tomato Bruschetta

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2010

This is my husband’s favorite appetizer! They are a huge hit at parties and are a great way to use up some extra tomatoes! I use whatever tomatoes I have on hand and just drain the extra juice. I have tried a two leaf as well as a three leaf balsamic vinegar and I like the two leaf better.

Dill Pickles

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2010

I have used this recipe for 3 years now. Each time they have come out crisp and delicious! When I printed the recipe long ago the recipe had a "review" from Sharon that stated she did not use a water bath, that the directions had been changed due to health regulations. So when I make them I stick with the "original" method. As per the original recipe, I invert the jars into boiling water (enough to cover rim) and boil for 10 minutes. I've never had a problem with jars sealing and the pickles are crisp. I do soak the cucumbers in VERY cold water with lots of ice for 2 hours. I then quarter the cucumbers before putting them into the jars. I also add a bit more vinegar and water to make up for my pouring abilities since I tend to spill some of the liquid. The first time I made these I was short on the liquid for the last jar. These pickles are the BEST!

I made this recipe as written and it was awesome. My kids loved it as well. I used Sweet Italian Sausage and the 2% milk Velveeta and was generous with the tomatoes. I will definitly make this again!

Baked French Toast

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2008

I made this for my daughter's sleepover party. The ones that would try it liked it. I did spray my pan well but it still stuck to the bottom. I only used 3 apples as the Granny Smith ones at the store were huge. I put thin slices of the apple over top of the bread and then decided to chop the apples. I mixed the cinnamon/nutmeg/sugar together then tossed in the apples so everything would be coated. I then placed the apples on top of the bread and let it sit over night. My husband liked it but it is soft and doesn't have the crusty outside that french toast done on a griddle has. The vanilla sauce is very tasty but don't let it cool to long because it will thicken quite a bit.

Almost No Fat Banana Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2008

This was very easy to make and for an almost no fat bread was pretty good. I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup as others suggested and added some rasins. I also used half white, half wheat flour. The great thing about this recipe is that my family didn't know it was healthy for them. I will be making this again!

Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Roast

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2008

We decided to start the New Year off with a lower fat meal. This hit the spot. I doubled the recipe with no problem. I used sweet onion and cooked on high for 1 hour and the rest on low. It took about 6 hours that way. (If I wanted a pulled pork consistancy I would cook longer.) The onions were a hit with the crowd and those that didn't like onions, my kids namely, they liked the juice poured on their meat. I served this with green beans and buttered noodles. I will be keeping this recipe!

Apple Enchilada Dessert

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2007

This recipe was a hit for Mexican night with friends. I made it as stated other than chopping up the apples before filling the shells and baking for 40 minutes. Very yummy and easy! Will be making again!

Lemon Fish Bake

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2006

This was a hit with my husband...my kids thought it was "spicy" but survived. I had to double the spice mixture to have enough to coat. I then sprayed the fish with a butter spray before coating with the bread crumbs Yum!!

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2006

These were FABULOUS! I did use 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 c. brown sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla which I added to the sugar mixture before coating. I will definitely be making these again!
