Pecan Squares Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 1, 2009
Absolutely scrumptious! If you are a pecan pie fan you will love these and so much faster/easier than if you were to make a pie using your own crust. The result is superb. I took them to a Halloween potluck at work and got rave reviews and was asked numerous times for the recipe. So addicting!!! Even better the next day! I used dark corn syrup since it was what I had in hand and only one cup. The pan I used is the one for Lasagna and it was great. I will try it again on Thanksgiving and use the full measure next time to decide which I like best but I don't really know if you can improve on perfection. Thank you Sylvia for sharing your wonderful recipe.

Pumpkin Crumb Cake

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009
My kids loved this cake. They are great critics when it comes to pumpkin. I was laughing b/c some of my good friends always tell me that I like to make things that are in layers... well, maybe they are right but I can't wait to try this one on them. I did follow the recipe and the only changes I made was to add a little bit of nutmeg and a little ground cloves to the the pumpkin mix and chopped pecans for the crumb topping. Delicious!

Barbecued Beef Brisket

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009
Delicious. I used the rub from "Busy Day BBQ Brisket" instead to add more spice to mine too. I agree with others that the time may be off. My brisket was still a little tough at 5 hours into it. Ended up needing to cook another 1 1/2 to 2 hours to be fork tender and I would recommend doubling the sauce.

Tasty Buns

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2009
I wanted to try this out by making it as written first. These were very easy to make in my Kitchen Aid and they were fast too. Now, what I've noticed that may be helpful to others is that it seems to have just a little too much of a yeast taste, so decreasing it a little may be the best solution because for 12 buns I don't believe the recipe would be impacted at all since they grew so much and I probably could have made 13 or 14. Besides that I'll have to try to substitute butter for the oil next time because in my opinion that would have made the recipe true to it's name "Tasty". Have to agree with Mallinda... They were absolutely beautiful to look at! I paired it with "Barbecued Beef Brisket from this site".

Hash Brown Casserole II

Reviewed: May 26, 2009
Delicious and easy. I followed the recipe with the exception of using Mushroom soup instead of chicken as others suggested. I will try the french fried onion on top sometime.

Grilled Chicken Adobo

Reviewed: May 26, 2009
This one was ok. I liked the flavor. I did follow the suggestions and reduced the soy sauce. If I tried this again I'd use boneless chicken breast instead.

Honey Mustard Beer Brats

Reviewed: May 26, 2009
I thought these turned out really good. What I liked most was how easy it was to make. The addition of the bbq sauce was great. The house did smell good while it was cooking. I also skipped the red bell pepper as I didn't have any and used two green instead. I added more garlic than called for as I do with most dishes. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Scalloped Corn

Reviewed: May 3, 2009
Very good. The only change I made was to use a 6.5 ounce corn bread mix instead of 8.5. Still tasted great!

Hoot-n Holler Baby Back Pork Ribs

Reviewed: May 3, 2009
I'm glad I went for this one although there hadn't been any reviews before mine. I loved it. We loved it. The changes I made were minor. I added 1 more bay leaf, quartered a large onion and sprinkled some rub into the water mix as well. It smelled great as it was cooking and our mouths were salivating even prior to grilling. I doubled the sauce because I had 3 racks of ribs. I think that next time I'll either use a different BBQ sauce than Sweet Baby Ray's or use it but decrease the brown. It was just a tad sweeter than I've liked. But over all it was moist and fantastic!

Paprika Chicken with Sour Cream Gravy

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2009
I wish I had batteries but since I'm out I couldn't take a picture this time. I'm glad I went for it anyway. I made minor changes. I used only half of the amount called for of the cayenne, I cooked the chicken and set it aside I added some sliced mushrooms to the butter, cooked it and then added the soup and about a 1/2 cup of milk. Placed the chicken back in the pan and kept an eye on it while it completed the last 10 minutes of cooking. It was great. I just thought that it needed salt and had to add some afterwords.

Kathy's Southern Corn Pudding

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2009
This turned out well. It was a great addition to our Easter Dinner. I did modify this slightly though. I cut the butter to just 1/4 cup, the sugar to 1/3 cup. I sprinkled some nutmeg and a little cinnamon on it as well. Baked it in a round dish instead of the 9 x 13, at 400 degrees because that was the time for the other 2 dishes that needed to go in the oven and just kept checking on it to make sure that it wasn't burning or to check when it was done. I received various complements on it.

Blackjack Brisket

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2009
I also made a smaller version of this recipe due to the size of brisket I got. I used half a bottle of beer. I followed most of the recipe and the changes I made were very minor; such as adding 2 tbs. bourbon and also using Hickory flavored Liquid Smoke. Now after having made this I have to say that it was good but we weren't blown away by this recipe. I think that we like to have a nice rub made with a spice mixture because the flavor in this was just ok for us. The reason I am still giving it a four star rating is because it turned out moist and tasted better the next day. Maybe like others suggested, it just needed to marinate for a while longer.

Brown Bean Chowder

Reviewed: Apr. 5, 2009
This is a good base and full of possibilities. I cooked the beans slightly longer than suggested. I decided that the amount of bread crumbs would make it too thick. I cut it down to 3/4 cup and it was still too much so I added more water. I didn't have plain bread crumbs but I had Garlic and Herb bread crumbs. After it was done I tasted it and thought it needed more seasoning, so I added some cumin, more chili powder, some oregano, some Cayenne pepper, 1 bay leaf and some chopped fresh cilantro. It was a lot better that way but it borders on almost too much salt (which I hadn't changed) I'm sending some to my 81 year old mother-in-law. She loves beans in any way, shape or form. :)

Slow Cooked Corned Beef for Sandwiches

What can I said that hasn't been said before? It was delicious and I'm sorry I didn't try it sooner. SDK, this is a jewel. I appreciate you sharing such a delightful and most importantly in my case, easy recipe that will be repeated over and over again.

The Ultimate Shaken Bloody Mary

Ok, this didn't work for me. I thought that the taste was off. It was either the Old Bay or the Dill or both. Sorry.

Indian-Style Rice with Cashews, Raisins and Turmeric

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2009
I loved the way this turned out. I think that it was a wonderful complement to our Indian Themed dinner. I served this with Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken) and Naan from this site. I highly recommend it.

Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken)

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2009
Very good. We all enjoyed it. I didn't have lemon so I used buttermilk in it's place but followed the other ingredients and directions as stated with the exception of using the cornstarch and water, which I used the crushed cashews instead. It was excellent.

Naan

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2009
Outstanding! Our family loved it and my son said "I think I'm addicted to this bread". I used COLLEGECHEF1's advice and used the melted butter and garlic mixture. Thank you Mic!
