Shrimp Lemon Pepper Linguini

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2009
I doubled the sauce and actually cut down on the garlic thinking it would be too much but next time I will use the proper amount as it isn't as strong as I imagined. The sauce seemed to be very liquidy but after I added the linguine and let it sit for a short while it all got absorbed. The dish was delicious and even though I made a massive amount there was nothing left over, very tasty!

Best Bread Machine Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
The best bread machine recipe ever! I tried this several times removing the dough before the last rise and putting it in my own bread pans like I have always had to do because I really have not had any luck using the bread machine for the entire process. Since this recipe produces such a nice loaf I thought today I would try and leave it to bake in the bread machine and low and behold it still bakes perfectly, the only thing I changed was adding 1 more tsp of salt.

Christmas Casserole Cookies I

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2009
Honestly I expected to hate these due to the coconut but my husband likes it and I had all these odd ingredients left over after cleaning my cupboards out. They turned out really well and we ended up fighting over who got the last cookie. I used sweetened angel flake coconut, candied cherries, candied ginger, walnuts and after the mixture had cooled down I also added chocolate chips. They were sticky to roll so I ended up using parchment paper to roll the mixture into a log and then sliced off equal portions which didn't require quite as much handling. Next time I will skip rolling them in sugar as they are pretty sweet already. I will definitely make them again as the whole family loved them.

Serbian Ground Beef, Veggie, and Potato Bake

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009
My mixture was really dry, I used lean ground beef so once it was browned there really wasn't any grease left if the pan and after the addition of all the veg and spices the water and wine and a couple spoonfuls of cream did not make enough gravy, the mixture was still just dry so I had to add about 1/2 cup of sour cream as that was all I had on hand, also had to dot the topping of potato's with a bit of butter. It turned out not bad, I will probably make it again but will also cut down the black pepper and just add a few more red pepper flakes as I like them better, I would also add some garlic.

Round Steak Sauerbraten

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2009
I had to double the brown sugar and vinegar and would have preferred regular white vinegar for my own taste plus next time I will use a whole diced onion not the powdered onion which almost ruined it in my opinion but the end result was very tasty. I used a blade steak which I browned on the top of the stove and then put it with the sauce in my cast iron casserole dish on 250 for the whole afternoon, it smelled great and the steak was soo tender, served with mashed potato and veg and it hubby thought it was like Sunday dinner on a weekday with very little effort, thanks for sharing your recipe.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2008
I used pork instead of beef as that is what I had on hand but otherwise followed the recipe as written. It was perfect, the best recipe I have ever used for meatloaf. I lined my meatloaf pan with parchment paper before adding all the ingredients and then just waited for it to cool a bit before inverting it carefully onto a platter so the sauce was on top, this worked great. I didn't like the idea of adding the sauce ingredients to the top of the meatloaf as some suggested because with the meatloaf cooking uncovered I felt that maybe the sugar topping would start to burn before the meatloaf was cooked. The texture of the finished meatloaf was really good, it was solid enough that you could slice thinly if desired without being too dense, definitely we'll be using this again, thanks for sharing the recipe.

Artichoke Nibbles

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2008
These were hit and were gone in no time but next time I will change the amount of artichoke liquid that you saute the onions in to just 1 tbsp as the finished product will not be so oily. I bought the huge jar of artichokes from costco and just measured out 1-1/2 cups of artichokes. I would also use a nice sharp cheddar and a good pinch of red pepper flakes in addition to the other spices to give them some bite, we are not huge hot spice lovers but these definitely could use a little more spice. this is a great appetizer or cocktail snack, and would also be great for a potluck.

Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2008
This was delicious, my husband did not even notice that there was no meat and my vegetarian teenager thought they were awesome. The only change we made was to use the "Red Enchilada Sauce" recipe from this site in place of the salsa to pour over the top of them at the end. The spice in the filling was perfect for us, just the right amount of zip without tons of heat. Thanks for the great recipe.

Rice, Asparagus and Cucumber Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2008
This recipe is awesome, everyone who tastes it loves it and it is such a nice change from other salads, great for a potluck as nobody else will have the same dish. I like more dressing though so I triple all the dressing ingredients with the exception of the dijon mustard which I just double and the end result is really tasty. I went to make this recipe today only to find my asparagus had gone bad so instead I used 1 cup of frozen sweet baby peas, which I added frozen to the rice as soon as it was finished cooking and just let hot rice thaw the peas, then added all the other stuff when the rice was cooled, it turned just as nice. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: May 4, 2008
Absolutely fantastic. We replaced the butter with Chrisco (didn't have any butter) and we substituted another cup of chocolate chips instead of the nuts for a total of 2 cups of choc chips. The recipe made 32 big cookies, which are being eaten as fast as we take them out of the oven - yum!

Mimi's Giant Whole-Wheat Banana-Strawberry Muffins

Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2008
followed the recipe with the exception of adding 1 cup of frozen blueberries instead of strawberries and they were delicious. The muffins were both light textured and moist and were the perfect sweetness. Thank you for a great recipe.

Cranberry Salad III

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005
Only 2 out of 11 would try this at dinner despite the pretty appearance. I don't think that many people are fond of cranberries. It was quite sweet.

Mexican Bean Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005
Nice mix of flavours but it makes a huge salad, we will be eating this for days. There is quite a lot of liquid in the bottom of the salad, I guess you would call it the marinade but if I was serving it at a party I would drain the liquid just before putting it in the presentation dish.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005
Fantastic. I tried many new recipes for Christmas this year and this is the only one that I will use again. We only used 1/4 cup of hot sauce and it was perfect. Everyone loved it including teenagers who love spicy food and Grandma who usually finds Buffalo wings too spicy. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

Bacon and Date Appetizer

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005
Everyone at the party tried one but didn't really go back for seconds. The dates were a bit too sweet for us. I used the ready crisp bacon which might have detracted from the flavour.

Cranberry Cream Punch

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2005
I made this to go along with Christmas dinner and only 2 out of 11 people would try it. Unfortunately mine looked nothing like the picture despite following the recipe exactly for both punch and ice-ring. I poured the soda very gently into the cream mixture but it frothed up all the way to the rim of the punch bowl (thought it was going to overflow) and then finally settled down and just looked curdled with a foamy type scum on the top. The taste itself was quite nice but people were put off by the appearance.
