Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2012

I made this tonight with a few alterations to fit our tastes. I purchased a rotisserie chicken because I was short on time and used all the breast meat, which I cubed per the recipe. I used the 1 cup of carrots, 1 cup frozen green peas, and substituted 1/2 cup frozen corn for the celery since we don't care for it. Since the chicken was already cooked, I diced the carrot and also diced up a sweet potato and roasted them in the oven at 425 for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, I diced a whole yellow onion and sauteed it in cooking spray with Italian seasoning, minced fresh garlic, and minced fresh basil. I then added 2 cups of chicken broth after the onions were tender as well as 3/4 cup milk, and the flour, salt, and pepper per the recipe. I ended up adding cornstarch to thicken the sauce since I added additional liquid. Then I followed the recipe as specified. My husband, who does not particularly go out of his way to eat a chicken pot pie, found this dinner to be delicious and went back for second!

Apple Pecan Cobbler

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2011

I didn't really care for the pecans in this which is odd because I usually enjoy the combination of apples and nuts. The cobbler part was also more cakey than I prefer, but thanks for sharing!

Peanut Butter Banana Flax Seed Muffins

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2011

These were exceptionally sweet! I loved the peanut butter, but I may omit the dates next time. I did what other posters had said and scaled back the sugar to 1/2 cup as well.

Authentic Enchiladas Verdes

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2011

This was pretty good, although my sauce tasted a little bitter. To compensate, we ended up adding some New Mexico green chili. I still felt like it was missing something but it was good. Next time, I would use green chilis instead of the serranos because of the flavor difference.

Rhubarb Dream Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2011

This was very tasty, but I had to bake it twice since it didn't couldn't complete the first time. Flavors were great though!

Ranch Beans

Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2011

My husband is from the southwest where ranch style beans are as common as baked beans in our new home, the midwest. We can't find the canned variety here, so I thought I would try to make these beans for my husband. They took time, but he loved them! I think next time I may even add some jalapeno slices as that variety was always his favorite!

Donut Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 26, 2011

I didn't care for the amount of nutmeg so I may reduce that next time. That being said, these were good the first day and even better the second! I removed the muffins immediately from the pan, transferred to a bowl, drizzled with the butter, and then shook them in a bag with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Bada Bing Pork Chops

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2011

We used boneless pork chops and marinated for about 6 hours. The chops were good but I found them a little tangy for my preference. I think I may prefer them with less Worcestshire as I felt this flavor to be the most overpowering.

Roasted Vegetable Orzo

Reviewed: May 9, 2011

I tried another users suggestion of cooking the orzo with with just enough water and wine so the pasta would absorb the liquid, but it turned gummy. The flavor was still amazing so I will definitely make again, but this time I will boil the pasta as the recipe indicates so it is cooked perfectly!

Dijon Crusted Halibut

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2011

I used 1/2 Tbls of mustard after reading others' reviews that it was too tangy. I also used shredded parmesan cheese instead of grated and panko bread crumbs. Instead of mixing the butter, bread crumbs, and cheese, I drizzled the butter, sprinkled the cheese, and then topped with bread crumbs before tossing in the oven at 425. After 14 minutes, I switched the oven to broil for about a minute and browned the top. It was perfect!!!

Becky's Easy Cilantro Lime Rice

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2011

I really enjoyed this! I made it with brown rice and it was very good. My family of 3 never did finish the recipe as is and we continued to eat it for several meals! Will make again!

Bodacious Broccoli Salad

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2011

I made this salad hoping for something closer to a similar salad a friend makes, but this was too salty and a little bit too peppery for most people. Interestingly, my friend's salad is made with plain vinegar and no salt and pepper. It's a sweeter salad but it is delicious!

Green Chile Cheese Beer Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2011

My bread was also mushy in the middle but I believe it's because my green chiles were too watery. The bread tasted fantastic though so I will make again. Next time I will use 2 cans of whole green chiles, drained and patted dry, then diced.

Brownie Batter + Cupcake = The SECOND BEST Cupcake. Ever

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2011

These tasted amazing but I had a hard time getting the centers to cook completely. That being said, thanks for the great recipe (I'll be trying again) and for recommending the fluffy peanut butter frosting!

Cake Batter Ice Cream

Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2010

HEAVENLY!!! I used skim milk and whole milk in place of the heavy cream and it turned out amazing! It was more like soft serve when it was done in the ice cream mixer but after freezing all night it is still soft enough to scoop but still hold it's shape! Thank you!

Frosted Banana Bars

Reviewed: May 4, 2010

These were really good! I added a touch of cinnamon to the bars before baking and used the Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting from this website and substituted Cool Whip for the whipping cream. They turned out phenomenal!
