Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2011

this is a keeper! I read reviews and did the following: I doubled the sauce recipe, used raw shrimp, and also added carrots, pea pods, and mushrooms to the mix. Hubby and I both loved it!

This earned 2 thumbs up at our house. I don't like green peppers but these were so much sweeter. I microwaved 3 peppers for 3 minutes and that seemed to be just the right amount after they were baked - slightly firm, not mushy. And the recipe did make plenty of filling for 3 large peppers. I did not use the allspice but threw in a handful of frozen corn to the mix. Used a Mexican mix shredded cheese for the melting at the end.

Country Apple Dumplings

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2010

Add me to the list of those who loved this recipe. I followed others advice to cut down on fat and sugar. I used lowfat crescents, 1/2 c. white sugar, 1/2 c. brown sugar, and only 1/2 cup better. I also cut apple into sixths. Terrific!

Blueberry Peach Cobbler

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2010

This was absolutely delicious! Tasted so much like summer. The only change I made was to use cinnamon instead of mace.

Hariton's 'Famous' Vegetarian Casserole

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2010

Great recipe. Can't beat it with all of the fresh stuff. I reduced it to one 9 x 12 pan and used asparagus instead of eggplant. Very adaptable.

Quinoa and Black Beans

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2010

My husband and I really liked this! I used about 1/2 of red pepper,2 small chicken breasts, chicken broth, and only 1 can of black beans. We topped it with shredded cheese. I think I'd like to try adding some chopped tomatoes next time. Quinoa is my new friend!

Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2009

this was somewhere between ok and good. It was quite thick with the cheeses. Somehow, needed a little more flavor.

Asparagus and Artichoke Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2009

I made as directed except did not use almonds. A very nice blend of flavors. It may be a little dry - may add more mayo next time.

Balsamic Roasted Pork Loin

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2009

I think this was the most tender pork loin I've ever made. Marinated it about 4 hours. Yummy.

Raspberry Banana Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009

Very yummy bread! I used 2 tsp of baking powder instead of the soda, bumped up the flour to 2 c. and used 1/2 c. water and 1/3 c. oil. Love the combination of raspberries, bananas, and nuts.

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009

Have used this several times. Cook it, shred it and put it back in the juice for 30 minutes or so - and then we use it for sandwiches. A slice of cheese to top it off. Reheats well.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Great flavor. I think I'll add a little more flour next time for a stiffer dough.

Easy and Delicious Chicken

Reviewed: May 20, 2008

A tasty crock pot recipe. I used a couple teaspoons of italian seasoning instead of the listed herbs. Also used only 4 oz of cream cheese and it was definitely rich enough. Added some seasoned salt but think I would leave it out next time as I always forget how salty the salad dressing and soup are. Added a can of mushrooms.

Mall Pretzels

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2007

This was a fun recipe to make as a family. I was able to mix in 1 cup of bread flour and 2 cups of all purpose flour with the mixer and then proceeded to kneading. Probably worked in 3/4 cup more the kneading. We had no problem rolling the pretzels, just let the dough rest for 3 or 4 minutes prior to beginnning to roll. I brought 6 cups of water and 6 T of baking soda to a boil and dipped the pretzels in for 15 seconds each. We did the butter and salt prior to baking for about 10 mintues. The pretzels were really light and yummy. I think I'd use even more butter next time. They were yummy!

Ga Ga Clusters

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2007

These just weren't what I thought they would be. I was trying to duplicate a chocolate cookie candy that I bought recently in a bake shop. The ones I tried had some crisp rice cereal in them as well so I cut down the nuts and marshmallows in this recipe and added 2 cups of cereal. However - the problem was the chocolate. It wasn't smooth and there wasn't enought to really cover the mixture. The peanuts didn't really want to get covered and stood out naked. I used about 1/4 milk chocolate chips and 3/4 cups semi-sweet. I dropped the clusters on waxed paper - worked ok. I was not satisfied.
