Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Gravy

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2012

I rarely make fried chicken, because the outside is usually burned while the inside is raw. Such was the case the first time I made this recipe, and it lacked flavor. The second time around, however, I kicked up the flavor by rubbing garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, paprika, and poultry seasoning into the chicken before marinating it in two cups of buttermilk for more than three hours. The same seasonings were used for the flour, to which a small amount of baking powder was added. As suggested by another reviewer, I fried the chicken until it was golden brown and put it on a rack that was set inside of a baking pan. I then put the chicken into a preheated 350 degree oven and allowed it to cook through for about 23 minutes. The end result was crispy, crunchy, flavorful fried chicken. It was perfect!

Vegan Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2011

I followed the recipe as written, but I was not fond of the texture of these pancakes, as they were very chewy. I gave them two stars, because my daughter liked them.

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2011

This was very good! To speed things up a bit, I cut up the potatoes and put them in a flat dish with enough water to cover the potatoes, before putting them in the microwave with for five to six minutes. After they were half way done, I proceeded with the recipe as written.

New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2011

This is a good base recipe. I changed it up a bit by scaling it down to four servings and sauteing one half of a medium size onion, one half green and one half red bell pepper, six minced cloves of garlic in salted butter. I then added the mixed dried seasonings. After a few minutes, I added one half cup each of white wine and water, then I added thawed frozen jumbo shrimps. After cooking the shrimps for a minute or two, I thickened the sauce by mixing one tablespoon of arrow root with 1/4 cup of water. I allowed it to simmer for an additional minute or two before serving it over a bed of pasta. It was delish with the changes made, and I will definitely make this again.

Mom's Cornbread Stuffing with Pork Sausage

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2010

My mother used to make her cornbread stuffing this way when I was growing up, and it's the best way I know to make cornbread stuffing. I start off by baking a small pan of cornbread by mixing one cup each of cornmeal and flour with 2 tsp. baking powder, and water. Once cooled, the cornbread is crumbled into a large mixing bowl along with the sauteed onions, chopped bell peppers, and celery. In addition to the pork sausage, we cook the turkey neck, gizzards, and the turkey heart in a small pot with 3 cups of water. The cooked meat is removed from the neck bone and chopped along with the cooked gizzard and heart, all of which is then added to the cornbread mixture. The remaining broth is added to moisten the stuffing with additional water as needed.

Buffalo Chicken Wings II

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2010

This recipe was good. I seasoned the chicken wings with garlic powder and black pepper before coating them with flour. I took the advice of other viewers and doubled the sauce. I added some garlic powder and 2 Tbsp of ketsup to the sauce and simmered it for a few minutes before pouring it over the chicken.

Biscotti

Reviewed: May 25, 2010

These were really good! They were quick and simple to make. The only change I made was that I used vanilla extract instead of anise. The dough was very easy to work with. I dipped the bottoms of half the batch in melted chocolate. My hubby preferred them without the chocolate, but these are good with or without. Thanks for sharing.

Chai Tea Mix

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2010

Excellent recipe! I followed the advice of some of the other reviewers and opted to spice it up a bit. I replaced the French vanilla flavored powdered non-dairy creamer with 2 tsp vanilla extract, and I used only 2 cups of white sugar. I also added 2 tsp of ground cardamon instead of 1 tsp; 1 tsp of ground allspice, 1 tsp nutmeg, and 1/8 tsp white pepper. This made such a smooth and delicious cup of tea with the perfect blend of flavors--what a treat! Thanks so much for sharing.
