Chili-Lime Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009
Wow! Great recipe. I didn't do anything to alter the recipe and it came out great. Not only were they very pretty, the peppers, onions and tomatoes I put on the skewers with the chicken were delicious. I served on a bed of rice.

Fresh Tomato Salsa

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2009
Take the other reviewer's advice and cut the Serrano peppers back to two! Five is insane. Two was plenty hot for us and my hubby likes his salsa spicy. I also added one chopped clove garlic. Excellent.

Taco Potato Pie

Reviewed: May 13, 2009
This was really good and a hit with the family, but no. 1, the picture with it is not the right picture. The mashed potato "crust" is not really a crust, per se, and the final product is really better suited to be a filler for a soft taco, or maybe used as a dip for tortilla chips. The taste is great, it's just not meant to be a pie. It's filling consistency.

Southwest Chicken

Reviewed: May 4, 2009
This recipe is okay, but after reading all the reviews and then preparing the dish, I can definitely see how if prepared as written it would be bland. I browned about a half cup chopped onion and a minced garlic with the chicken breasts. I upped the cumin from a pinch to 1/2 t., and added 1 t. Chili Powder. It was still, even with all this, a bit bland for us. If I try this again, I will look for other ways to spice it up a bit. My 14yo also suggested melting cheese over the top, and I kind of think he might be on to something.

Pocket Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2009
I've tried this twice and both times the dough was a gluey, gloppy mess, impossible to work with and went straight into the trash. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but there is not enough flour or something in this recipe.

Bacon and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2009
This was very good. I read the reviews and using reviewer suggestions, added 1/2C half & half, and increased the cheese a bit. Before adding the milk and cheese, I used a hand blender and blended the soup just a bit. Perfect texture.

Rye Bread Party Pizzas

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2009
A dear departed friend gave me this recipe years ago. She added a handful of oregano. She also gave me the tip that these freeze very well. Just put them together on the party rye, freeze on the cookie sheets, and when you're ready to eat them, just toss a few on a baking sheet and bake at 400 until browned on top.

Turkey Pot Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2008
This was excellent prepared as is. I only added a can of sliced mushrooms, since we like them. The quantity of filling for a deep dish pie plate was perfect. It was definitely plenty of "gravy" without being so much that it bubbled out while baking. Definite keeper!

Honey Whole Wheat Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2008
This bread is the perfect texture -- not too dense and not full of holes. I add 3 Tbsp of vital wheat gluten to help with rising, as well as increased the salt to 1 tsp. Per other reviewer's suggestions, I increased the honey to 1/4 cup. I use the dough cycle on my bread machine and then turn the dough out into a bread pan and let it rise about 30 minutes before baking for 30 minutes at 350 in the oven. We just like the traditional bread shape better, and I think bread baked this way is lighter than bread machine baked bread. Great recipe!

No Fail Pie Crust I

Reviewed: May 13, 2008
Absolutely awesome crust! It was tender and flaky. This recipe as stated makes enough dough for a top and a bottom crust. Awesome, and I didn't change a thing!

Best Bread Machine Bread

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2008
Wow, great loaf of bread. Like other reviewers, I increased the salt to 1-1/2 tsp. I also buy bread machine yeast in the jar, so one packet is equivalent to 2-1/4 tsp. yeast. I used the dough cycle on my bread machine and then put the dough in an oiled bread pan, let it rise for 30 minutes, then baked for 30 minutes at 350°. It makes a soft, dense loaf, and the taste is excellent.

Enchiladas

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2008
Great taste and goes together very quickly for a fairly fast home-cooked meal. I did add a package of taco seasoning to my ground beef, otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Both my husband and my 13yo eating machine loved this!

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2008
This makes a great cookie. However, if you're using butter rather than margarine, be sure to keep the cookie dough refrigerated between batches. My first cookies came out great, but as my kitchen warmed up from the oven, and the dough sat out, the butter in the cookies started to separate out as they baked making a mess on my Air Bake cookie sheets. The resulting mess had to be pried off -- tasted good, but still a mess. So, don't let the dough warm up if you're using butter, and don't put the dough directly on a warm cookie sheet either.

Mexican Style Shredded Pork

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2008
Great recipe! My family is not really very fond of pork, but I've made this twice now and my family loves it. Stores great and makes wonderful sandwiches later. It's especially good packed in a lunch with a little BBQ sauce on it. This worked great with a pork loin roast, and I also made it with some thick cut pork loin chops I had in the freezer.

Coco-Cola Cake III

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2008
This was surprisingly good. It was quite moist and almost more like a brownie than cake.

Garden Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2008
Great salad, we really enjoyed this. About three quarters of a bottle of salad dressing is more than enough, two full bottles would have been overwhelming. I used fresh Asiago cheese instead of Parmesan. I added nsome sliced fresh mushrooms and next time I'll add some sliced black olives as well.

Hummus III

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2008
Great recipe. Very simple. I added extra garlic and loved it, but really there is enough garlic in the recipe to begin with and a little bit more goes a long way.

Roll-Out Cookies

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2008
This dough was the perfect playdough texture to work with, and it didn't have to be chilled! The cookies baked beautifully and were so much fun to decorate. They were an excellent, flaky texture, not too hard and tasted excellent. I didn't have lemon extract, so I used almond extract as suggested by others, and they came out great.

Slow Cooked Corned Beef for Sandwiches

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2008
This was super easy and made great corned beef. I used an Irish beer, of course, and didn't change a thing in the recipe. Once the beef is cooked, let it cool in the fridge and it will slice beautifully. We made Rueben's from the sliced meat that were awesome.
