Boilermaker Tailgate Chili

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009
I read all the other reviews and made a couple of minor changes: I added the whole can of beer, no bacon (didn't have any), 15 oz cans of tomatoes instead of 28 oz and kidney beans instead of chili beans (used what I had). I also added 1 TBS of chipotle chili powder. This was awesome and fresh tasting and our new family recipe.

Shrimp Scampi III

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2009
Really good flavor. I used 6 cloves of garlic instead because we REALLY like garlic! I used fresh ground bread crumbs from a day old loaf of french bread and did not need quite as much. This is a really good recipe!

Easy Guacamole

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2009
Good recipe, but I added a few ingredients after trying it "as is" first. First, 1 chopped, seeded jalapeno. Second, I use red onion instead of white. Third, add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, more chopped garlic and more lime juice as needed (I use the squeeze bottle of RealLime). I also add a splash of Crystal hot sauce, but that is personal preference 'cause I like the heat! After these additions, it was 5 stars!

General Tsao's Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2008
My husband said it was better than our favorite Chinese restaurant's version! I served it with steamed broccoli and fried rice.

Sour Cream Pound Cake

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2008
I reduced the sugar to 1 cup and baked at 350 instead of 375 after reading the other reviews. It was totally awesome and not dry at all!

White Bean Dip

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2007
I make this all the time, it is very similar to one that Giada makes on Everyday Italian. I reduce the lemon to 1/2 of a juiced lemon, add 2 tablespoons of fresh Italian parsley, omit the cilantro, 1 tablespoon chopped garlic and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Serve with pita triangles that have been sprinkled with olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper(both fresh ground from a salt & pepper mill) and then bake the pitas for 8 minutes at 400 degrees. Fabulous with the dip and good for you too!

Chicken and Bacon Shish Kabobs

Reviewed: May 1, 2007
This was really good! I didn't have any green onion so I used chives instead and also added a little oregano and crushed red pepper to the marinade. I added sweet red pepper chunks to the shishkabobs. Fresh pineapple is definitely the way to go.

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms I

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2007
I tweaked this recipe quite a bit to get more flavor: I used Italian sausage, only half the cream cheese, added shallots and garlic along with the chopped stems to the cooking sausage and Italian seasonings. When the sausage was cooked, I drained it and then mixed in the cream cheese with about 1/2 cup of bread crumbs and 1/2 cup red wine. I did not add the wine to the pan that they baked in.

Dirt Cake I

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2007
Good recipe, but i made a few changes. I did not add butter or sugar. This is already sweet enough with pudding and whipped topping and the addition of the cookies. I started with a bottom layer of crushed cookies, then pudding/topping/cream cheese mix, cookies again, etc. ending with crushed cookies on top.

Grand Marnier Brownies

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2007
Great flavor! My family loves the chocolate oranges that come out at Christmas time and these tasted just like them! I only mixed in the Grand Marnier and did not spread the remaining on top, and I sprinkled the chocolate chips on top only.

Spinach Dip with Water Chestnuts

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2006
I served this in a hollwed out bread bowl and sliced the bread that I scooped out with an electric knife for a nice presentation for the dippers. I also add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese from the grocery store, since that kind of cheese tends to be firmer than the kind you shred at home. I never have leftovers when I take this to a party.

Seven Layer Dip I

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2006
Delicious, however I prefer to add taco seasoning to the meat but not the water called for when you make taco meat. You can also make this with cooked chicken breast meat instead of ground beef. I doubled all the ingredients except the meat for my son's baseball party and the dish came home empty. Even the kids like it! I serve it with the scoopable tortilla chips.

Party Italian Wedding Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2006
I changed some of the ingredients: I only used 1/2 of the bread crumbs called for and I used two eggs with the ground beef. I used chopped fresh kale instead of spinach due to the spinach shortage. I only used two carrots, not two cups and 1 celery stalk. I doubled the amount of chicken stock as other suggested and just before serving I mixed in two beaten eggs and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, mixing the eggs in slowly until they were cooked through as all traditional Italian wedding soups should have.

Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2006
This was fabulous! I made a couple of changes: I used 1 cup of the pepper jack cheese and I also added 1/2 cup parmesan. I sauteed the spinach and garlic in 1 TBSP butter before adding the other ingredients and I sprinkled a little seasoning salt on the chicken. A little messy to make, but it tastes great!

Holiday Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2006
Great Taste. I loved the cranberries. I did not have any pecans, but it was good without. I will try it again with the pecans and I am sure it will be even better!

Slow Cooker Stuffing

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2006
My family loves stuffing right from the turkey, but we have a couple of friends that are vegetarians so I cook this for them as well. I leave out the eggs so it will be more like the kind out of the turkey and I add more water or vegetable stock as needed when it starts to get dry.

Slow Cooker Cranberry Roast

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2006
Made this for the second time tonite using a pork roast and cooked it in my pressure cooker instead of the slow cooker. Used all of the same ingredients except used a 2lb pork loin roast and pressure cooked it for 40 minutes. It came out juicy and tender. After I released the pressure, I took the roast out and made the gravy using soft butter and the flour. It was great! We have made this with the beef roast before as well and prefer the pork but both ways get 5 stars.
