Country Apple Dumplings

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2009
OMG, you're not kidding. These are to die for. Calories-schmalories, if you're looking for a comfort food this is it. I used a cup of sugar, but kept everything else the same. Next time, I'll do half white and half brown sugar. I used mountain dew, as it is what I had on hand, and baked for just 35 minutes until they were a dark golden brown. YUMMY. Thank you to docswife. I wasn't an apple-pie-type-desset fan, until now.

Cola-Basted Ham

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2008
Tender and juicy. A bit sweet, but that is what you expect when you cook with pepsi. Unlike other reviews, I did not think the ham tasted like pepsi, only the sweetness of it.

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2008
This was fantastic. My family thought this was the best dressing they had ever had. I have to agree.

Zucchini Bread IV

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2008
Started with the basic recipe and added a banana (only had one on hand) and 1/2 cup semisweet choc chips. Very moist, and great flavor. Added the streusel topping as others suggested. Will be making this again.

Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2008
I had 4 frozen salmon fillets and was not quite sure what to do with it until I found this recipe. I prepared the marinade with a few additions: added 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 2 tbs mayonaise, and I used honey mustard dressing since I didn't have any dijon on hand. I covered the fillets in the marinade while they were still frozen and covered the cookie sheet with wax paper and allowed the fillets to thaw and marinate over night. The next day, I scraped off the marinade and added more honey, mayo, butter and dressing, and also blended in 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs and parsley. This was then used to cover the fillets. I baked at 400 for 12 mins (based on the rec of 10 min per inch of thickness) and then turned the broiler on high for approx 2 minutes. The fillets were flakey and juicy and everyone loved it.

Tasty Green Beans

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2008
I'm not a green bean person, but I have to say this was pretty good and my family raved about it. I cut the soy sauce to 1/4 cup and increased the onion and garlic just a bit. Very flavorful. Will be making this again and again.

Colossal Caramel Apple Trifle

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2008
I am not the apple fan in the family but my hb and son are and they loved this. As it was, I cut the recipe in half and still had leftovers. I used cinnamon caramel apple dip instead of caramel sauce and I think the cinnamon was a little overpowering. I also used angel food cake cut into pieces and it did not get soggy. Next time I will use the caramel ice cream topping as suggested in the recipe. This would also be good substituting bananas instead of apples.

Feta Cheese Ball

Do die for!!! I used 4oz feta cheese (w/ basil and tomato) and 8 oz whipped cream cheese. Every one loved this and asked for the recipe. A definite keeper!

Smooth Sweet Tea

Reviewed: Aug. 10, 2008
My hb loves the sweet tea we get at Famous Dave's but we could not for the life of us figure out how they made it until now. Wow! I used an electric ice tea maker, 8 reg tea bags, ice and water the machine called for, and 1/4 tsp baking soda and 4 TBS sugar. 10 minutes later we had delicious smooooooth sweet tea! Yummy.

Fast and Easy Hamburger Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2008
After reading reviews, I also changed this a bit. I used instant mashed potatoes ("loaded baked potato" flavor) for the bottom layer of the baking dish. Then I browned ground beef and added lipton onion soup mix. I used cream of mushroom soup and omited the ketchup, as others suggested, but we did not have any cream cheese. The meat mixture was spread ontop of the mashed potato layer, and then buscuit dough was placed on top of the meat mixture. I baked it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, but the biscuits were still undercooked on the bottom. All in all, my husband and son liked it, but it was just okay for me.

Pumpkin Spice Cookie

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2007
Ok, I've tried the Two Ingredient cake recipe (from this site) but I did not realize you could do the same with cookies. I only changed it a bit. I added white chocolate chips and about 2 Tbs milk (to aid in the mixing). I made them a little larger and baked them for about 12 minutes to get them slightly browned on the bottom. These came out very rich, fluffy and irresistable! My only complaint is I should have doubled the recipe!

Glazed Corned Beef

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2007
Did not have apricot preserves, so I used orange marmalade instead. Wow! Fantastic flavor. The meat was not tender cooked this way, but it may have been the cut. Don't hesitate on buying the better higher priced corned beef and you won't be disappointed.

Broccoli Casserole III

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2007
My family really enjoyed this recipe. I only had 16oz frozen broccoli pkg and about 6 oz of velveeta cheese on hand but it did not seem to matter. This recipe is a keeper.

Hollandaise Sauce

Reviewed: May 13, 2007
Used farm fresh eggs (from the neighbors chickens!) and extra butter (hubby's idea) and this was fantastic. Did start to separate, but followed the suggestion to add a little cold water and rapid whisk, and it worked. Even my kids, who don't like asparagus, ate their veggies!

Oven Pot Roast

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2007
Very good! I used dry white cooking wine, as that was all I had on hand, and I added two packages of brown gravy mix during the last half hour of cooking. Thick broth, tender meat, wonderful flavor. Definite keeper!

Slow Cooker Creamy Potato Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2007
Pretty good considering I didn't have any bacon, white pepper or dill weed. I substitued diced smoked sausage links for the bacon and fresh ground pepper. I also added extra cheese. This turned out pretty good. I will definitely make it again but I'll use bacon next time.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2007
Fantastic! Love the flavor. My hubby didn't care for the extra veggies (he thinks corned beef and cabbage should be just that!) But everyone else, even my picky 12 yr old liked it. Leftovers were even better the next day!

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2007
I should probably give this 5 stars since I did not use a high-end BBQ sauce as others have suggested. I had fresh chicken breasts, so I cooked it on high for 2 hrs then dropped it to low for another 2 hours. I did add a little extra italian dressing and the chicken was nice and tender and had an okay flavor. I will use this recipe again but I'll try it with Sweet Baby Ray's or Jack Daniels BBQ sauce instead.

Memphis Rub

Peanut Butter Bars I

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2007
Fantastic! Melted the butter and peanut butter together as another reviewer suggested. I also added 2 Tbs butter with the chocolate chips and peanut butter for the top layer. Halved the recipe and used an 8x8 pan, but will double the recipe next time. They didn't last long!
