Sweet and Sour Meatballs I

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2009
VERY easy. I made it while at a conference in a hotel. mixed it right in the crock pot 6 hours before the room party. I used one bottle of ketchup, one of chile paste and half a bottle of jelly for my back of 140 meatballs. I used the italian style cuz that's all they had, but plain would be better.

Hot Spinach Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2009
This got LOTS of compliments. A doubled recipe went in 20 minutes. Only change was adding fresh garlic and baking it. Second time, I tripled it, using the garlic and baking, but forgot the 3rd amount of mozz. I had a 1/2 cup of feta in the fridge and threw that in instead - Even BETTER! It was enough to bake in a 9x13 glass pan.

Raspberry Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009
I didn't have chicken broth, and I used red wine vinegar. I think a little less sugar next time - mine were just picked, so probably already sweet by them selves, otherwise it was still delish! Put on baby spinach, with cuke, feta and bacon bits - would've put candied walnuts if I had them :)

Magic Cookie Bars II

Reviewed: Aug. 17, 2009
easy and a huge hit at work. Used milk and semi-sweet chips, butterscotch would be WAY to sweet. Use the full 14oz can of milk too.

American Shepherd's Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009
I also used the cream of mushroom, and I added some frozen mixed veggies(carrots/peas/corn) and some worstershire and fresh garlic too. With these simple changes it's a 5 star!

Easy Batter Fruit Cobbler

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009
I didn't think it was anything special, but it was VERY easy and everyone else absolutely LOVED it. I did forget to add the sugar on top... and then forgot to serve it(lol), so it wasn't warm. Warm crusty might've made the difference. Yummy easy way to use fresh blueberries.

Chicken Cordon Bleu I

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009
This was so easy and delish! I think it's all about the kind of cheese and ham you use. I used an imported danish ham, not too salty, and provalone. I also dipped the rolled chicken in butter, then breadcrumbs. the breading seemed a little wet, maybe if I sprayed with butter to get a crispier result. I would also use unsalted butter next time too.

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2009
The BEST recipe I think I've tried so far (after the blueberry muffin recipe lol). Only only made a couple changes according to other reviews. -Added garlic with onion to saute. -Boiled the chicken and veggies in broth (not water). -added some rosemary and thyme to the gravy before mixing the veggies in. I thought it was wonderful. My boyfriend suggested like others that it was dry and could use more of the gravy mix. More filling overall might be good too, it JUST filled the pie - nice and level. maybe an extra half of the gravy mixture.

Pineapple Banana Bread

Reviewed: May 6, 2009
This would be 4.5 if I could. It was moist and yummy, but the pineapple taste wasn't really there. Maybe fresh pineapple would make the difference.

Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2009
I used a couple review tips, used a can of coconut milk withthe half&half to equal 3 cups, I replaced the 1/2c flour with 1/3c cornstarch. Just make sure you cook it to thickness. I got nervous when I saw clumps, but I think it would have been less messy if I kept going. I only toasted the 1/4 c of flakes for the top and I also used a shortbread crumb pie shell. Tons of compliments - delish and TASTES lite :)

Warm Crab Parmesan Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2008
not as good as crab dips I've had before, not a party killer and it went, but I didn't love it. Maybe a different cheese would have been less sharp.

Yummy Eggnog Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2008
This was a huge hit! I took others' advice and froze them overnight, helped with the travel time to work too. Also used a pre-made graham cracker crust(toasted per package instructions). It was a bit sweet, but hey, it's the holidays! Also used the tub cool whip because I didn't buy enough heavy cream. That might be why it was so sweet.

Thighs on Rice

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2006
I think 2 bouillon cubes was too much, and as others said, it took much longer than 45 minutes. The water didn't even boil by 35, but the chicken looked ready. I left it it maybe a total of 50 to 60 minutes, and some of the rice was still hard, fortunately, the chicken remained moist. The only stray I made was to add one minced garlic clove.

Cookies 'n Cream Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 3, 2006
This was very tastey, even for an all adult crowd. Everyone asked which bakery I got it at. I did think the frosting would be to thick to frost, so I added a dash of milk and I think that is what made it smooth enough to practically "pour" it on the the top and slide it around to frost the sides. I then feared it was to liquidy, but it frosted nicely and I QUICKLY put it in the fridge. It set perfectly. I added crumbled cookie crums on top and a ring of whole oreos on top before chilling. I thought the frosting was too sweet, even though everyone loved it, they agreed. Next time, I think a sheet cake with whip frosting next time.

Mandarin Orange Cake I

Reviewed: Jul. 21, 2006
This was very light tasting, though very sweet. I think less of the pudding mix might make the frosting lighter. But As Is (with one extra can of mandarin oranges), it was a huge hit for my boss' birthday!

Great Mac and Cheese

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2006
This was ok, I would make it again, only because it was very fast and I don't make mac and cheese much. It was a bit sweet, maybe because of the onion. I used a regular yellow onion and didn't use the whole thing.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2006
These were AWESOME. Very moist, maybe too moist, I might put a tiny bit less oil and milk next time, also like everyone else, double the batter to match the topping, I had a lot leftover. The topping was definitly the best part.

Navy Bean Soup I

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2006
This was VERY salty. It was tasy, but I've had something similar, "Tuscan Bean Soup(TBS)" made with hot sausage, and the TBS was MUCH better. If I added the tomatoes, spinach and condensed milk, I think this recipe would be better, but just like the TBS.

Tuscan Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2006
I was afraid that it would be tasteless with so few spices, but the spicy sausage is all the flavor you need. I took a few review tips: added one rained can of petite diced tomatoes, one drained can of canellini beans, and a minced garlic clove with the onion. Next time I will try it with pasta.... UPDATE: I tried the pasta, SOOOO much better. Once you put the broth in, bring it to a boil, add a good soup noodle, I like the Barilla Pippettes, about 2 minutes before the pasta is al dente, add the tomatoes and beans. Continue with the recipe...

Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2005
I loved this, so simple! I added cumin and chili powder. I also added some uncle Ben's. But I didn't add enough liquid. Next time more broth/water for the amount of rice. I think it should only need about 1/2 cup of the rice.
