Sensational Irish Cream Cheesecake

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009
My first cheesecake ever! This was amazing. I did not change a thing except to cook it in a water bath at 350, which took a tad over an hour. Then I turned the oven off, cracked the door open, and left it alone for several hours to cool before putting in the fridge with plastic wrap over the top. Great texture, awesome flavor. The Bailey's was just the right note, and I love chocolate in my cheesecake :)

Guinness® Bread

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009
Heavy, tasty bread. I was worried the batter was too liquidy, but it turned out great! Sweeter than I was expecting with only 1/2 cup of brown sugar, but I can't wait to have some for breakfast tomorrow :)

Baked Slow Cooker Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2009
This is such a great way to make chicken! I did mine breast down on the foil balls, and I rubbed it all over with garlic powder, seasoned salt and paprika (sprinkled some inside the cavity as well). High for an hour and low for 7; the breast was a tiny bit dry but everything else was nice and juicy. I used a 5 pounder. The house smelled great and I will definitely do this again--just as easy as picking up a grocery store rotisserie chicken! This is going to make awesome chicken salad.

Oat Applesauce Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009
What a great little recipe! I halved it; for the egg I just used a yolk because I'm lazy. I only had quick oats, so I soaked them in milk and a little vinegar for about 10 minutes while we stirred up the dry ingredients. Made 6 perfect sized muffins. They were really soft and tasty (I did add a dash of cinnamon), a great treat for my 5 year old! Even with his 'help' they only took about 15 minutes to stir up, so really easy too. Thanks for a great kid friendly recipe!

French Onion Soup III

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2009
Yum. I actually did use only 2 onions, and this made exactly enough for two adults and one 5-year-old. I cut the bread into cubes to make it easier to eat. Also subbed some of the broth for some au jus I had leftover. I wish I would have added more water though; it was a bit too salty. No fault to the recipe submitter though! I added a clove of garlic, and once the onions and garlic were soft I turned the heat up to brown everything. Nice and filling too, this was one of the easier French Onion Soup recipes I have tried, thanks for the recipe!

Soft Onion Sandwich Rolls

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2009
Taste on this is great. I had some trouble with the second rise though. Let me start at the beginning! I do not have a bread machine, so I proofed the yeast with the sugar and water, then added everything else (heated up the milk to 110 before adding). I was out of dried onions (shame on me) so I diced some fresh, 3 T. Then I kneaded for about ten minutes and let rise in a bowl dusted with flour in my oven, with a bowl of boiling water and the door shut. When it was just shy of double I took it out and re-kneaded, then formed into rolls on ungreased pans and put back in the oven with fresh boiling water. They took forever to rise; after an hour and a half I got impatient and did the egg wash (make sure your egg white is room temp to avoid deflating the dough), then topped with a sprinkle of fresh parmesan cheese and some flash-fried onions. Cooked about 20 minutes, they puffed a little bit more. They got a beautiful golden brown color, the house smelled absolutely divine, and the rolls tasted fantastic. They are lighter than I was expecting, I thought because they are not as big as I wanted them my air pockets would be too small for a soft bread, but they are actually really great.

Savory Chicken Sandwiches

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2009
Yum Yum Yum. These are awesome! I didn't have any bone in breasts, so used a family pack of thighs. No other substitutions, other than being out of buns so used toast instead. These need nothing! They are great, and I can't wait for leftovers. UPDATE: This time I tried using a whole cut up fryer, and it worked out perfect again. Served it up on onion buns...mmmm!

Blueberry or Cherry Dessert

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2009
Easy and yummy! Really not too sweet, if you're ok with canned pie filling. Of course, I did not add the whipped topping (forgot to pick it up at the store)--but it really tasted great without it. I cut the recipe in half and did it in an 8x8 pan; the only thing I changed was instead of two eggs, I used one whole egg and one egg yolk. For the crust, I pressed the crumbs over the bottom and up the sides, because I love graham cracker crust (so I get the corner pieces) but my man does not. Got my cheesecake craving out of the way!

Premium Pizza Crust

Reviewed: Mar. 5, 2009
Great crust! I did have to add quite a bit of extra flour to make the dough 'kneadable.' However, it worked great! I did the 'sponge' method; I used warm water and fed the yeast a little sugar, let sit for 40 minutes with the 1/2 c flour, then added everything else. When all the kneading was done I put it in a warm oven and let it rise for an hour. It was so easy to toss and shape! I had to cook it a bit longer than stated, but the flavor was great; I didn't add anything to it. Wonderful, chewy, pizza-crusty flavor! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Apricot Glazed Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2009
Yummy and easy. I cut the chicken into strips before adding back to the sauce, and served over brown rice. Just the right amount of sweet.

Cheesy Italian Tortellini

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2009
This turned out very tasty. Great sauce. I didn't use any hamburger in mine, just the pork; and my tomatoes had basil and oregano in them. Also used up my fresh mushrooms instead of opening a can. Didn't cook for the full 8 hours, but everything in it is cooked--just the longer it's in the pot, the better! I will be making this one again.

Brown-Eyed Susans I

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2009
These are super yummy! The cookies alone are melt in your mouth buttery, I did not find the almond overpowering at all. The icing tasted a little too much like powdered sugar for my taste, and it was a bit thin, so I added a little more cocoa powder and a little instant vanilla pudding powder. Scrumptious!

Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2009
Mmm I really enjoyed this recipe. I used a combo of sesame and olive oil, based on the reviews. I think next time I will make it a day in advance, which I wasn't able to do this time; the leftovers just get better and better! Also I would like to try grinding up the ginger rather than mincing it, to give it that pasty consistency like Benihana's. All in all a very impressive outcome for not a lot of effort, and makes even a simple salad something special. Thanks for a great recipe!

Hasselback Potatoes

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009
What a wonderful recipe! They turned out crunchy and full of flavor. I tried using a pretty deep spoon at first but it only cut halfway thru the potato; just a regular serving spoon did the trick! Before putting them in the pan I spread them out as much as possible. I was generous with the salt and pepper in the first coating, and I doubled the bread crumb and cheese combo, adding a bunch of seasonings to it and pulsing in my food processor (I used half romano and half parmesan). Turned out golden brown and really tasty, worth the little extra effort--thanks for a great recipe!

Barbeque Beef Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 20, 2009
Wonderful! I kind of eyeballed the amounts based on the reviews, and made a batch of cornbread off the cornmeal box. I cooked the whole thing in my deep 8-inch cast iron skillet, turned out wonderful! Thanks for a great recipe--

Pasties I

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2009
Awesome stuff. I used some venison for the meat and cut down on the potatoes--I still had more filling than dough, but these were so good I might just make another batch of pie crust so we can have them again! I made four and DBF ate three, so they were definitely a hit with him, thanks for a great recipe!

Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009
Super tasty--I couldn't stop licking the bowl. Really easy to work with too; I don't have a mixer so that's important to me! I made half a batch, using a stick of butter-flavor Crisco, then I added a packet of unsweetened strawberry Kool Aid which made it a little sour. This recipe is pretty forgiving though; I added probably an extra cup of powdered sugar to compensate for the Kool Aid and it was still a great consistency (I used the full amount of cream). My new favorite recipe from this site!

Warm Maple, Ham and Apple Coffeecake

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009
Yummy! I love the maple flavor mixed with the ham. I only had one little piece of biscuit in the very middle that was a little raw; all the rest were golden brown and yummy. Soft and flavorful and didn't take that long to make! I used whiskey instead of bourbon on the glaze, and had to use a lot more powdered sugar to thicken it. All in all a very tasty surprise for our Valentine's Day breakfast!
