I'm a firm believer in trying a recipe "as is" in order to rate it fairly. That being said; this is about a 4 1/2 star in my book. Now, being that I am an experimenter, here's how I made it into a 5 star (for me, anyways) the second time around: used fresh ginger (about a 2 inch piece, grated), added 3 cloves of garlic (minced or pressed), added two chopped green onions, added 1Tbsp. of brown sugar, and 2 tsp. red pepper flakes. Wow!!! Talk about some great Asian flair! DH loved this recipe! Wonderful with any cut of chicken, used leg quarters the second time around. Thanks, MelindaG for a keeper!

Broccoli-Cauliflower Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2009

Great salad! Our family doesn't like cooked broccoli, but we love it raw - so this was perfect for us! I did add the sliced green onions as another reviewer suggested. I LOVE the dressing, but have to admit that there was a lot of it! Absolutely will be making again!

No Fail Pound Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2009

Very tasty! I added 1 1/2 cups of blueberries (rolled in flour) to mine. Topped it with a glaze of lemon juice and powdered sugar. Family gobbled it up!

Phyllo Turnovers with Shrimp and Ricotta Filling

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2008

Not one other person has mentioned the cook time being too high - but I cooked these at the stated 425 for less than ten min. & they were burnt and burst open!! By the time I smelled them from the patio, it was too late!!! All that hard work for nothing. I have an oven thermometer in at all times, so temp SHOULD be accurate. To be fair - I gave recipe 3 stars, though I never even go to taste one!!

Roquefort Pear Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2008

I first made this salad for Christmas Dinner 2007. It's wonderful! All the flavors go great together! I've used this recipe at pot luck several times since. I never change a thing - it's so simple & easy as is!

Calico Beans

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2008

Don't be put off by the large amount of brown sugar - it MAKES this recipe! I've made a very close variation of this recipe for years- the only difference is that I use prepared yellow mustard (same measurement as ketsup) instead of dried. To this day, this is the ONLY bean recipe my 14 year old will eat!

I was leary at first, but one delicious bite was all it took! 'Course I am a die hard hot dog fan - but this topping put my dog over the top! Thanks Hooley!
