Thanksgiving Leftover Casserole

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009

I appreciate this idea on how to use leftovers but we found this to be just okay. The recipe does not make much (which is good) and can be prepared in a two quart casserole dish. We didn’t like the stuffing on top and ended up scraping it off. My son got the good idea to add bacon bits to his and that actually made it palatable. I doubt if I will be making again but if I do I will certainly use bacon bits on top instead of the stuffing.

Luscious Lemon Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

This cake is pure lemony goodness. I don’t usually like box cakes but this has a homemade taste. I used ¼ lemon juice with the water. I thought it would be nice to pour the glaze on the top but that would have just made a sticky mess. I was skeptical about pouring the glaze on the bottom but it worked perfectly and seeped through the entire cake without making the cake soggy. My entire family loved this and have already requested that we make it again soon.

Pasta with Hot Sausage Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

This was pretty tasty and easy to prepare. My sauce was also a little watery but still good. My kids enjoyed it so I will make it again.

Italian One Step Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

We enjoyed this. I browned the sausage first but otherwise followed the recipe. I used a good quality, spicy Italian sausage which added to the success of the recipe.

Sarah's Applesauce

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

This applesauce is so easy and delicious. I needed to use up some apples that a friend gave me. I used granny smith and found ¼ cup sugar to be just right. We ate it warm as a side dish with dinner and of course it tasted even better the next day when it was chilled. I will be making this regularly from now on.

Authentic, No Shortcuts, Louisiana Red Beans and Rice

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2009

My husband always cringes when I pull out my crock-pot because for some reason most things I cook in it taste a little off. Not so with this dish, it was superb! I soaked my bean overnight and I followed the suggestion of other reviewers and used less water. I added a bay leaf and I also followed Ernid’s suggestion of ham bouillon in lieu of the ham hock. My kids loved it too. Thanks Melissa for a great recipe.

Slow Cooker Beef Roast

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2009

This was okay and I had all of the ingredients on hand. I’m not certain that the bbq sauce was necessary. It didn’t seem to add to the taste. Overall the meat was flavorful and tender.

Gingered Pork Stir-fry

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2009

This turned out pretty well. I used fresh ginger because I had some on hand. I didn’t have pimentos but I don’t think it made that much of a difference.

Yellow Squash

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2009

This is a very easy and tasty way to prepare squash. My kids seem to eat anything with bacon. I drained most of the bacon grease out of the pan and omitted the salt.

Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2009

My entire family enjoyed this dish. The meat was flavorful and tender and the gravy was also good. I usually make 4 patties out of a pound of meat but I found the 8 smaller patties to cook quicker, they were more tender and it was easier for us to control our portions.

Farmer's Market Vegetarian Quesadillas

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2009

This is absolutely delicious. I admit I made the poor man’s version with green pepper instead of red, yellow onion instead of red and I omitted the squash. I prefer this to chicken quesadillas and will be making these regularly.

Sunday Best Fruit Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2009

I didn't really care for this. I don't think the peach pie filling added anything positive. Surprisingly my husband, who does not like sweet things or canned food, liked it.

Buffalo Chicken Fingers

Reviewed: Jul. 27, 2009

My kids liked these but I thought they lacked flavor. I'll make again because they are easy but I'll add a lot more cayenne.

Fast and Friendly Meatballs

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2009

These meatballs were delicious. I added some garlic, salt and pepper and baked just a little while longer. No more expensive prepackaged meatballs for me.
