Cod au Gratin

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2012

The sauce came out very thick and we added a little garlic powder with the salt and pepper, along with most of the cheese. Overall, a tasty alternative to just 'fish'.

Cinnamon Pork Loin and Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2012

Even with a little tweaking and reducing the cinnamon, the meat was on the bland side and the potatos just too 'one-noted' with the cinnamon.

I added a dash of cayenne, extra garlic, and accidentally doubled the honey (which was used in place of corn syrup) and we loved it. Baked for an hour on a broiler pan to let the grease drain, then finished under the broiler for a few minutes to crispy it up.

Brown Sugar Banana Nut Bread I

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2012

Very, very good. LOTS of banana flavor and the brown sugar and vanilla don't overpower, as I was thinking they might. A little on the greasy side with all that butter, which is the only negative from my point of view.

Pineapple Banana Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 17, 2012

I baked this in a bundt pan and it took a little longer than an hour to bake through. Very good flavor.

Applesauce Brownies I

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2012

I really wanted to make these a little more "brownie-like" instead of "cakey." So I doubled the cocoa, added an extra egg, changed to 1/2t of baking powder and halved the flour and cinnamon. While still not a chewy, 'fudgy' brownie, we like them fine. If I try these again, I would use brown sugar instead of white in the topping, or try a chocolate frosting.

Louisiana Chicken and Beans Skillet

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2011

Really good. Added a couple cloves of garlic, otherwise made as written and we really enjoyed it served with some sour cream. Next time, I might add a little more cajun spice.

Walnut Apple Rice

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2011

This turned out really well. It's 'different', but went very nicely with a pork roast. Used 1C regular brown rice and a red onion, all other ingredients same as recipe, except left out the cinnamon.

Roasted Pork Shoulder with Pomegranate Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2011

Easy enough and love the flavor of the glaze. I added a little rosemary to the garlic and seasonings, and mixed it all with a little oil, then cut slits in the roast, packing them with the mixture. Substituted apple cider vinegar and honey in the glaze. Smelled great in the oven and tasted great too.

Sage Sausage and Cider Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2011

Really liked this stuffing. Moist, but not gooshy. We did use a full pound of 'breakfast'-type sausage, with a couple of shakes of sage instead of all the fresh sage and chicken stock instead of water.

Maple Roast Turkey and Gravy

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2011

Good flavor, but you do have to watch carefully that it doesn't over-brown, even covered. Not as much cider flavor as I was expecting, and maybe a little too much lemon for my taste. Maybe adding some apple to the veggies would help?

Potlatch Fall Harvest Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2011

Such a wonderful soup. We diced up a small onion and two cloves of garlic and sauteed these in 1T butter before adding the cider and all else (leaving out the water), with 1t dried thyme. We also substituted one 14oz can of (whole) corn for the frozen and 12oz can of evaporated milk.

Grape Pear Crisp

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2011

Really wonderful flavor with this crisp. I did add a little oatmeal to the topping for some crunch. Diced fresh pears to mix with the grapes and added a little bit of honey to make it a tad sweeter. Tasted just as good the next day too and we had no need for ice/whipped cream.

Squash and Apple Bake

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2011

So very "fall" tasting. Didn't pack the brown sugar just to lighten up on the sweet and it was just right. Used 1/4t allspice in place of the mace we didn't have on hand. Very well received.

Mom's Oatmeal Blueberry Pancakes

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2011

Based on some of the reviews, I made the following modifications: 1/2C less buttermilk, half flour/half oats, let the oats soak in the buttermilk for about 15 minutes, beat the egg lightly before stirring into the buttermilk/oats, mixed the blueberries with the flour before stirring into the wet ingredients, and let the batter sit while heating the pan. Also substituted honey for the sugar and mixed it with the beaten egg first. Our pancakes turned out AWESOME.

Rosemary Marinated Lamb Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2011

I didn't get to marinate but for about 5 minutes, and it was still delicious. Substituted apple cider for white wine. Great marinade!

Italian Country Style Ribs

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2011

Tasty and simple as can be. I diced up a red onion, carrot, and stalk of celery and sauteed in the rib drippings with a couple cloves of garlic before mixing everything with the sauce. We served the sauce over bowtie pasta with mixed veggies.

Chicken and Biscuit Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2011

Oh so good. While I think the recipe is fine on its own, I customized with the following: chopped the onion/celery/carrots in the food processor, then cooked with about 1.5lbs of chopped chicken breast. Used a 12oz can of evaporated milk and 2.5C of chicken broth for the liquid. Also added additional spices/herbs to our taste. Substituted honey for sugar (in our house, everything is better with honey in it!). Since I prefer 'from-scratch', cut 1/2C butter into 2C self-rising flour (food processor works great for this too), then mixed in 1/4C apple cider (since it's fall) and 1/2C buttermilk, with only 1t of the basil, which made a great biscuit topping. Loved, loved, loved it.
