Best Cream Of Broccoli Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2012

This was great! I used vegetable broth, carrots instead of celery (what I had in the house). I cooked the onion, carrots and broccoli in the butter, added the broth and let it cook on high for 15 minutes. I added liberal amounts of sea salt. Pureed it all, then added the melted butter, flour and milk. Shredded parm cheese was a wonderful addition. All my kids loved this!

Connie's Zucchini 'Crab' Cakes

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2011

I know I totally changed the recipe but I took all the ingredients and added them to a box of potato pancake mix. Mixed it all together and baked it for 10 minutes per side then pan fried them in very little oil. The zucchini melted away and my kids loved them. Only made 12 pancakes.

Banana Oat Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2011

Like other reviewers, I used applesauce instead of veggie oil. 1/4 c white sugar and 1/4 c brown sugar instead of 1/2 c white sugar. I also added chocolate chips. I found this made 24 muffins and about 18 minutes to bake. Very good recipe!

Debdoozie's Blue Ribbon Chili

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2011

So Easy! Sadly, I was very lazy when I made this in my crock pot. Browned the ground beef, added it to jar spaghetti sauce, jar salsa, can of chili beans with the liquid and can of kidney beans. Mixed in sour cream to individual bowl. It's a keeper.

Apple Pecan Cornbread Dressing

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2010

It was good but needs more spices. I followed the directions exactly and think it is missing something. Makes enough for an army.

Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2010

Followed the directions except for how to cook the potatoes. You need to bake them for around an hour to cook through to mash. It was a hit at Thanksgiving dinner.

Fluffy Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2010

Amazing! A little eggy, will have to work on that next time. Let the milk and apple cider vinegar sit for at least 30 minutes and doubled the recipe. This will be a staple in my house.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2010

I cooked onions in a little oil in the pot while I chopped celery and carrots that I then threw in. Cut up the potatoes and threw them in too. By the time I cut up the turkey ham, everything had time to mellow in the pot. Lots of chopping but very good.

Used frozen veggies. Make sure to defrost before hand so they are fully cooked after 20 min in oven.

Banana Muffins II

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009

This was very easy and very good! I followed the recipe with these changes: 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 cup of applesauce instead of ANY butter. They only needed 25 minutes in a pre-heated oven.

Crispy Oven-Fried Fish Fillets

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2008

I toasted panko crumbs first and mixed in thyme, basil and oregano. I also skipped the first milk dunking and did flour and garlic salt first, then milk, then panko crumbs. I don't know if it was because I used scrod that might have been too thick or if it needed more seasoning, but this was a bit boring. Also, the 10 minutes were too short.

Savory Mushroom-Barley Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 17, 2008

This was a very good soup and easy to make. I sauteed the onions and celery until they browned (adding another flavor component). Then I added sliced button mushrooms and baby portabellas. I sauteed those until all the liquid was gone. Then I added the carrots, beef broth and some marinara sauce since I didn't have any tomato paste. I let that cook together for awhile. I gave it a little puree with the hand blender. This thickened it up some so I had to add more broth. Then I made the barley and added it to the soup.

Butternut Squash Casserole

Reviewed: Dec. 1, 2007

With a few tweaks, this was great! I split the butternut squash in two, scooped out the seeds, rubbed 1 tablespoon of butter on the insides and placed it cut side down on a cookie sheet. I baked it at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes until it easily pierced with a knife. Then I scooped out the orange flesh (toss the skin) and mashed it with 1 1/2 cups of skim milk. I mixed it together with only 3 tablespoons of butter and all the other ingredients ( I added the beaten eggs last so they wouldn't cook in the mixing bowl.) I skipped the topping (it was yummy enough already).

Whole Wheat Snickerdoodles I

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2007

I wanted to use up my whole wheat flour. I think I just don't love snickerdoodles. I thought the cookies were very bland with a strong wheat flavor. Next time I would add some chocolate.

Maple Dill Carrots

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2007

These were very good. I cooked the carrots in the butter and sugar for a long time so they liquid would get syrupy. The dill adds a nice zing.

Raspberry Cream Cheese Bars

Reviewed: Sep. 5, 2007

It is very hard to spread the preserves. Next time I would try piping it through a bag (as already suggested). The cooking time was too low, I ended up putting it in much longer (and then making a HORRIBLE mistake of putting it under the broiler to brown and forgetting about it so it burnt :( It didn't look so good, but it still tasted good. Further know in my house as the "burnt dessert".

Potato Chip Chicken Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2007

Started out with this recipe but then totally changed it. I used chopped cooked chicken, 1 can low sodium/low fat cream of broccoli soup and cream of celery soup. 2/3 cup of fat free miracle whip, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 tbs lemon juice, shake of mustard powder and garlic powder. 2 cups of cooked noodles instead of rice and ritz crackers instead of chips. Used the cheese on top. Is it even the same recipe anymore? Everyone really like it but me. So, I guess I'll have to make it again...
