Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2012

This is an excellent recipe. We make it all the time and follow exactly as written - except we cut down the sugar to 1/2 cup if we are adding the chocolate chips (and I prefer the mini chips so they are more evenly dispersed throughout the muffin. We have made them without the chips on several occasions - and used the listed 3/4 cup of sugar - and they are as equally well-received.

Sloppy Joe Sandwiches

Reviewed: Jul. 31, 2011

Awesome recipe! I used 2lbs of meat and adjusted all the other ingredients accordingly. I also liked the suggestion of white vinegar, so I added 1 T of that - it was fantastic. Sweet with just a bit of a kick. A keeper for sure!

Royal Icing I

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2010

AACCKK! Not sure what we did wrong but this came out SUPER runny and was incredibly hard to work with. We were hoping it would be a thicker toothpaste-type of consistency to use in assembling our gingerbread houses, but it was so thin and runny. What a mess!

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2010

We've never had swiss steak before, so I'm not sure if this is how it typically tastes - but we did not care for it at all. The recipe was simple enough and the meat did come out very tender, but the flavor just didn't seem right. It seemed like an odd combination of ingredients as I was preparing it, but I held out hope that somehow they would all come together for a nice end result. I was too optimistic.

Groovie Smoothie

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2010

I couldn't make it exactly as written because I only had fresh fruit (nothing frozen) and a 6-oz container of strawberry Greek yogurt. I added a few ice cubes and 2 T of honey, though, and it came out pretty good. Next time I will either use more ice or try to have some kind of frozen fruit to throw in because I would like it to be colder.

Slow Cooker Beef and Mushrooms

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2010

This was a hit at our house! I left out the wine because I didn't have any on hand. And instead of rice, I served it over egg noodles. Yummy!

Pear Blueberry Crisps

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2010

I had two large very ripe pears on my counter and blueberries in the freezer, so this recipe was the perfect fit! I made it exactly as written except that I doubled everything and it fed my family of four. I made it in a glass 8x8 pan and it turned out great. Thanks!

Baked Pork Chops I

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2010

I made this exactly as written - except that I didn't make the sauce. I also found out that 2 cups of bread crumbs is a little much and my dish cooked in about 30 minutes instead of an hour. Very tasty! The whole family - even the little kiddos - gobbled them up.

Sweet Pumpkin Seeds

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009

I've always done roasted seeds with salt and decided to try a sweet version this year ... this recipe was pretty good, but not really what I expected. They were very well coated and crunchy - almost like a caramel corn, and if you ate them with your eyes shut, you'd be hard-pressed to know there was a pumpkin seed underneath. I think they would have been fine without the last one or two coatings. I did not have parchment paper and just used a lightly greased cookie sheet and it seemed to work out okay.

Quick Turkey Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2009

Easy recipe because I had all the ingredients on hand, but it didn't go over well with the family. It was okay - the rice and turkey part was pretty typical; as another review said, the cornflake & onion topping make the dish. However, I thought the sugary onions and cream cheese just ended up giving an odd flavor combo to the turkey and rice ... the sweetness seemed a little out of place.

Poke Cake III

Reviewed: Jul. 2, 2009

We had high hopes for this cake and made it for a 4th of July-themed get together. It was easy enough to make, but we did not care for the taste or consistency. We used "berry blue" jello which smelled good and gave the cool red-white-blue combo we were going for, but in the final product it made the cake taste sort of medicinal. Also, the cherries seemed to give the cake a mushy texture. Just not a bit hit - unfortunately. Maybe we'll try again with cherry flavored jello and skip the canned fruit.

Real Italian Calzones

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009

Dough was tasty; although, pretty sticky to work with so I was generous with additional flour. I used 1 cup moz and 1/2 cup of cheddar and did everything else as written. I have to say 1 T of dried basil is entirely TOO much! I cannot believe no one mentioned this in other reviews. I would cut it back to a teaspoon or less - otherwise it is just too overpowering.

Juicy Peach Crisp

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2009

Absolutely fantastic! I only had 4 peaches, though, so I threw in some frozen raspberries (maybe 3/4 cup). I only used 1/2 cup of the white sugar, and I also reduced the flour to 1/2 cup and added 1/2 cup of oats instead. A HUGE hit!!

Cranberry Muffins

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2008

Fantastic muffins! I made them in the evening and they were pretty good right from the oven, but we all thought they were way better the next morning! (I stored them covered for the night). I made a few small changes: reduced the white sugar to 3/4 cup, used fat-free vanilla yogurt instead of sour cream, and added 1/4 cup OJ. I do think that there was a lot of batter and had I filled the cups only 2/3 of the way I probably could have stretched it to 18 normal size muffins - but I squeezed it all into 12 and the muffin tops just sort of spread out. I only baked them on 350 for about 20 minutes.

Pork with Mushroom Dijon Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2008

Pretty good. I didn't have any white wine on hand so I used cider vinegar. Also - I used regular mushroom soup. It had a nice kick to it and their was plenty of sauce to cover noodles, rice, etc.

Butterscotch Bread Pudding

Reviewed: Aug. 7, 2008

This is a fantastic recipe! I used 8 old hotdogs buns and it turned out great! The only changes I made were to use one cup of brown sugar instead of two, and since I didn't have any butterscotch chips, I substitute with cinnamon ones. Then I added 1 t cinnamon and 1/2 t nutmeg. It was wonderful warm, room temperature AND cold from the fridge. I will definitely be making this again!
