Oh I really didn't like it. I made extra sauce and I felt like it still needed more. The flavor was okay. It called for a whole lot of noodles which I thought was way too much. Not close enough to the restaurant style I was looking for but not gross enough for me not to finish (well eat until I was full).

Creamy Potato Leek Soup II

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009

It was okay. Good enough to finish the soup but it definitely needed cheese and bacon sprinkled when it was done.

Basic Ham and Bean Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2008

This was just okay. Good enough not to throw away the left overs but not special it just tasted like a bunch of beans. I read all the reviews and it was cooked right and I did the salt and pepper thing but I felt like there was definitely something (flavor-wise) missing.

New England Clam Chowder I

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2008

Absolutely delicious with some changes. Added a bay leaf, added all the clam juice from the can, needed much more salt and added a corn starch surrey to thicken it up. Also I needed more water to get my potatoes soft without sticking/burning to the bottom even when cooked covered.

Artichoke Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2008

It was good, I did change things (like used some sour cream and real garlic) but I'm sure that my changes improved things, if I didn't have to change things I"d give it 4 stars for taste. It didn't blow my mind my husband said it was good and shurged (not special). I recommend serving it with mashed potatoes or something with a very mild flavor. I may make it again if I have artichokes to use up but I don't think it's special.

Hamburger Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

A good solid recipe, I did change/add a few (which I don't think impacted the recipe one way or another). Only used 1/2 an onion, added a good amount of Italian seasoning and some garlic. I think I would add more pasta (I used rotini) next time maybe. I'd make it again but I it could be better.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2008

Wonderful. the picky hubby said it was the BEST potato soup he's ever had and I have to agree. I followed the directions exactly except used 1 cube of veg bouillon because I was out of chicken. I made it last night for a long day stuck it in the fridge and reheated for tonight's dinner it was wonderful and extremely easy.

Meatball Sandwich

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2008

delicious I made these to go in spaghetti but I wish I had made it into a sandwich the meatballs were scrumptious. I did do half pork and half beef and I did not brush with olive oil, the meat balls provided plenty of oil themselves. Oh and I threw some chopped moz into the mix, you can't ever have too much cheese

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2008

Just for the meatballs (I used different sauce) only difference is that I used fresh herbs and I threw in a bunch of chunks of mozarella.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2008

this was really good fresh out of the oven and the next day it was okay but nothing special. Something changed about it the next day, texture and flavor. I warmed it up in the microwave but it was still weird. Not my favorite recipe but yummy enough.

Paula's Bread Sticks

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2008

I just thought these were okay. I tried them a few different ways: substituting a bit of wheat flour and also tried some with cheese sticks in them. I'll keep looking for another recipe though.
