Easy Apple Cider

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2008

Delicious! I think I liked it cold even better. Used 1/4 cup sugar and added 1 tsp vanilla. Didn't have whole allspice so used a bit of ground. Great flavor, not too sweet or strong, just perfect!

Husband who's a stew snob LOVED this! And my 1 year old ate 2 bowls! I did make a few changes based on other's reviews---dredged meat in flour mixed with garlic and onion powder before browning. used 3T cornstarch with 1/4 cup water instead of tapioca, used 2 cups beef stock and added 1/4 cup red wine instead of water and boullion-. used 2 5.5 oz cans tomato juice instead of tomatoes, skipped the bread and added 2 garlic cloves. Cooked 325 for 3 hours.

Raspberry Pie II

Very good, but personally I like straw-rhubarb and apple better. Just my taste. I did mix the berries with the other ingredients and cooked at 350 not 400. Used 3 T flour. Came out Perfect!

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2008

decent flavor but the chicken was stringy and dry. I find that happens often with chicken in the crock pot

Skillet Meatloaf

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2008

The first time I made this it burned so badly on the bottom when I followed the directions. Last night I made some slight changes---Put about a tablespoon of oil in bottom of the pan before adding meat. About a minute or two after adding the meat and searing the bottom I turned the heat down to med low. Worked great! Even my 1 year old couldn't get enough.

Down Under Lemon Tart

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2008

Very good. Nice and lemony. But personal preferance, if I want a lemon dessert I think I'd rather make lemon squares.

The Best Meatballs

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2008

Delicious! I halved the recipe and didn't use veal. Used milk vs. water but will try water next time. Also, just dropped them into my simmering sauce. Yummy!

Sweet and Sour Sauce II

Reviewed: May 26, 2008

Absolutely Delicious!!! SO much better than stuff from a jar. I cut the amount of the recipe down and estimated on the amount of tomate paste, but this was great.---mixed it with leftover cut up pork tenderloin and sauteed red peppers and served over rice! My, husband and 3 year old LOVED IT!

Tantalizingly Tangy Meatloaf

Reviewed: May 8, 2008

Delicious!!! used crushed pineapple instead of preserves. Baked 30 min then put on sauce and did another 20 min. Only thing I'll change next time is make more sauce to serve some on the side. My 3 year old ate 2 whole slices and even my non-meatloaf loving husband enjoyed it!

Steve's Famous Garlic Home Fries

Reviewed: May 7, 2008

Maybe I did something wrong. These were not at all crispy, the bottom of the pan burned. I followed directions exactly and I'm usually a good cook. I sliced the potatoes as the recipe said but see in the picture they are more chunks than slices, maybe that was my problem. Is there a secret I'm missing. Used a stainless pan, not nonstick, maybe that was the problem??? They weren't terrible, we ate them but nothing great. Would love to try them again as other reviewers described, crispy outside, etc.

Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: May 1, 2008

Delicious! Didn't use the food coloring. Great, light flavor. Tried to frost a white cake filled with lemon curd, but the frosting was too thin to stick to the sides even thought I added more powdered sugar, but it set nicely on the top and was perfect!

Lemon Pudding Cake I

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2008

Loved it. Did use 2 T melted butter and added 1/4 cup more flour as someone suggested. Didn't use water bath because I forgot, but it still came out great. Will try a bit less sugar the next time. Even better the next day--cake a bit less spongy.
