I guess Im going to be the minority here but I really didn't care for this and ended up taking home a pretty much full crock pot back home when I made it for a family function. The consistancy was pasty and the visual appeal was, well for lack of better words, it looked like puke! Sorry to be gross but honestly, it's not visually appealing at all and the flavor is too acidic...it's missing something.

Ground Beef Lo Mein

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2009

This was really good and yummy! I did add ginger like some of the other reviewers did and it gave it a nice kick. My youngest didnt care for this but she's also the pickiest eater ever! I didn't have any jarred gravy on hand so I used a packet of of gravy mix and made 8oz of gravy as the instructions said and added 4oz of beef broth to it as well. It wasn't runny at all and it had good flavor. I also increased the soy sauce to 2 Tablespoons and it wasn't too salty at all.

Quick Asian Beef Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2009

YUM!!!! I didn't have any bok choy but I did add a small can of mushrooms to this and even my picky 8 yr old ate it up! This was very easy, economical and it was nice to be able to whip something up with pretty much most things I have on hand. Will definately try it with the bok choy the next time but this is a keeper for sure! I used 1 pkg of chicken ramen and 1 pkg of spicy chicken ramen and it was so yummy!!! :) Thanks for sharing!!!

Beefy Cheesy Pasta

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009

Easy, yummy and a hit with both hubby and my picky 8 yr old. My 7 year turned her nose up but she does on most ground beef dishes! More for us though, right? LOL! I only had 4 slices of American cheese but it was still yummy! I added a little more soy sauce because I used more noodles and 1 lb of ground beef but the flavors meshed together well and this will make awesome leftovers this week! Thanks so much!

Molly's Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009

This was FABULOUS! Easy to make and the sauce was awesome over steamed rice! If you aren't into salty things I suggest using lower sodium Soy Sauce but other than that it was good and easy! Thanks so much!

Quick and Easy Brownies

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009

AWESOME! I had to cook these a bit longer than 30 min since I used a 9x13 GLASS dish but they came out great. Crunchy on top and CHEWY GOOEY on the inside...YUM!!!! I have never made brownies from scratch before ever (always used a betty crocker mix) but I can whip this up in a jiffy with ingredients on hand. I did omit the walnuts cuz I didn't have any but I will have to make them with them the next time! Thanks so much for posting!

Savory Cheddar Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009

I didn't have any dried mustard so I am wondering if this was the kick I was missing. I will definately make this again, just probably spice it up some more and use garlic salt instead. I didn't have onion salt so I added 1 tsp of onion powder and 1/2 a teaspoon of salt...I probably should have used a whole teaspoon of salt. But overall, it was a good recipe and I loved the texture of the bread!

Rainbow Pasta Salad II

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009

YUMMO and SOOOO easy!!! I didn't have any tomatoes so I omitted them but my neighbor brought over some fresh grown cucumbers and they were GREAT in it! I used my Tupperware Quick Chef to get the onions minced well and used a bottle of Zesty Italian. I have a lot of leftovers so tomorrow Im gonna toss some parmesan on it as well.... definately a keeper and I'll be using this recipe when we go to bbqs and family gatherings! Thanks so much Jennieanne!!!

Soft Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

Not bad at all...my daughters loved them! I thought the batter was more of the consistancy of brownie mix and it wasn't rollable in an hr...but I just dropped them on the cookie sheet and went. Baked 3 dozen with this recipe. I didn't dust with confectioners sugar since we just moved here and I havent found my sieve but they were yummy and cake-like...almost like an oreo cakester!

Glo's Sausage Fried Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2008

Definately a keeper!!! My teenager LOVED it, the hubby ate 2 huge servings and the girls, well the 7 yr old liked it and the almost 6 yr old turned her nose up at it..but that's just her! This was really good and easy. Be sure to follow the directions and cool the rice down before using it...I know another reviewer was wondering why...it makes the rice not mushy while frying. I will add some ginger and garlic the next time to give it some more flavor. I laughed when I saw someone review it as bland as they omitted the sausage...hello, that gives it more flavor :) Definately a keeper...thanks Gloria!!!

Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

Yummy, awesome and quick! My 6 yr old enjoyed adding the cans of broth to the pot. I used 4 cans of chicken broth and had to improvise with the veggie broth. Our store didn't have it so I bought Maggi brand vegetable boullion cubes and used 2 cups of water and 2 cubes in my mixing cup and added it to the soup. Very good for a cold wet day!!!

Curried Cumin Potatoes

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2008

YUM!! I thought I did boil the potatoes too long because they got squishy in the skillet but they did turn out well! I had to use cumin powder since I didn't have cumin and my curry powder already had tummeric in it so I just added a little more curry powder (we get our curry from the Vietnamese store). Very good!! Accopanied my baked curry chicken well! THANK YOU!!!!!
