Amazing is all I can say. My new favorite and yes, I used the tiny bits of onion, celery and carrots the recipe called for and it was perfect. I thought they would be lost, but they weren't. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Pesto Cheesy Chicken Rolls

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2010

This was fabulous. If possible, make home-made basil pesto rather than the store stuff. Brushed the outside of the rolls with beaten egg and sprinkled bread crumbs on top. Thanks for sharing this wonderful dish.

Meat-Lover's Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2010

I don't know why I tried this recipe because as I was making it, I couldn't understand why all the different types of tomato products and why all the different herb products. Dried Italian herbs (called for 1 tsp.) has oregano, basil and marjoram in it already so why add more. No one in my family was crazy about this sauce. We at it just to get rid of it and I did follow the recipe as written.

Country Sausage Gravy

Reviewed: May 27, 2010

This was just okay and nothing I would make again. With all the "extras" added, I feel to took away from the old fashioned country sausage gravy taste. I prefer basic sausage gravy.

Warm Steak and Potato Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2010

This is your basic vinaigrette dressed salad with potatoes and steak plopped on top. 5 Stars for presentation as it looked beautiful. This is a good meal, but very basic.

Pork Supreme

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2010

Pure comfort food. Just loved it. Used leftover pork roast and followed the recipe to the T. So much nicer than making yet another pulled pork with the leftovers. The gravy is unbelievable. Thanks so much Sudie.

Cavatini II

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2009

If you love baked ziti, you will love this glorified version. You don't have to buy a premade tomatoe sauce. Since you cook the sauce with all of the vegetable/meat additions for an hour, you are basically "making" your own sauce, so why add more jarred sauce. Just throw in a 32 oz. can crushed tomatoes and 2 (yes 2) cans of paste and one paste can full of water and some seasonings of your choice and you will be very satisfied with the outcome. Makes a delicious tomato/vegetable sauce. I loved using the 3 different types of macaroni. You just have to add them to the boiling water at different times because some take longer to cook. Thanks for a nice take on baked ziti!

Marian's Creamed Corn

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2009

I have mixed feelings about this recipe. It WAS sweet and not exactly super creamy. I used ritz crackers crushed up on top and can't imagine what dry bland bread crumbs would taste like on this. Corn is generally sweet so you really don't need all that sugar. This is not your gourmet creamed corn recipe, but okay for a regular dinner and something different.

Peppers Roasted with Garlic, Basil and Tomatoes

Reviewed: May 3, 2009

The peppers and garlic didn't cook at all and 8 cloves of garlic is a lot of garlic unless you were cooking the garlic which would have made it a lot sweeter rather than spicier as raw garlic is. What can I say, very plain (except for the basil) and not terribly interesting. Tomorrow I'm going to stir fry the leftovers and maybe toss the cooked veggies with a little pasta for lunch.

Lori's Famous Crab Cakes

Reviewed: May 3, 2009

All I could taste was peppers and mustard and I DID follow the recipe to the T. I didn't have trouble with them holding together at all; however, I found them to be mushy and lacking in crab flavor. What can you expect from canned crabmeat. There's nothing like lump crab. Used Panko and they browned up nicely (in way too much oil). With all the great reviews, I was expecting something fantastic!

Serious Herb Cheese Spread

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009

For the reviewer who couldn't mold it, I usually put plastic wrap on the inside of my mold, then line the inside of the mold with cheesecloth and then just pack it in with a spatula to the top and fold the plastic wrap over the top and refrigerate. Once it is refrigerated for a few hours,the cream cheese should harden and mold. Try it.

Crispy Coconut Chicken Fingers

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2009

The taste was good, but they had a bit of a floury aftertaste and they never got brown except some of the coconut looked a little burnt on the edges. Presentation, 1 star. I don't know how they got them to look ever so brown in the picture, but by cooking in the method in the recipe, these come out fairly white (and pasty). Again, I followed to the T except I had to cook them longer and flip them to get them to brown in any way. I'm thinking frying these in oil would be the way to go. Dipping sauce was great.

Hawaiian Coleslaw

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2009

I hate to give yet another bad review, but the nutmeg was overpowering in this and the taste was nothing special. My husband wouldn't even eat it after taking one bite and I did make it according to directions. I think members are confused about the rating system here. If you have ever been to a 5 star restaurant and food was great, well that's 5 stars.

Spicy Potato Wedges

Horseradish Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

I don't know how this got 5 stars by other reviewers. All I could taste was bitterness (maybe it was the vinegar) and I followed the recipe to the T. I actually threw it out. Would much prefer a nice bernaise sauce with my roast beef. Sorry, but I have to be honest.

Slow Cook Thai Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 25, 2009

People, don't say the recipe is "okay" and then give it 5 stars. What the heck? If its okay, it gets 3 stars at best. Let's try to use the star system to our advantage. This was ok, not great, not 5 stars.
