Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Herb Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009
This is EXCELLENT. Used half & half as I had that on hand - I also kept the amount of sauce the same, but only fixed enough pork to serve 2-3. That way I had plenty of sauce to enhance the couscous I used on the side along with steamed broccoli.

Bacon Wrapped Barbeque Shrimp

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2009
I've heard of this recipe but never made it before. Great success. Marinated shrimp in BBQ sauce abt an hour. Did what others suggested & slightly pre-cooked bacon in microwave. The rack is a good idea, as is the foil. All worked really well. Served on a bed of brown rice with a side of cole slaw. COULD use BBQ sauce or something else (Ranch?) for dipping but we thought it was fine without anything extra. Thanks for a great & EASY idea!

Louisiana Shrimp Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 11, 2009
This is a really good dish and easy to change and personalize. I 'lightened' it by about 200 calories per serving by using low fat sour cream, lite butter, and Pam instead of oil. I also added broccoli. Next time I might 'season' the shrimp before cooking it. I had no trouble finding cream of shrimp soup at my local Super Target. Thanks for a great casserole recipe!

Chicken Noodle Casserole I

Reviewed: May 7, 2009
This turned out nice. I halved the recipe for just me and my husband. I also litened it by using fat free cream of mushroom soup (didn't need the second can due to reduced servings - might try the fat free cream of chicken next time for flavor change). I also used lite sour cream as well as 1/4 C Italian breadcrumbs instead of the buttery flavored crackers, and therefore only 2 Tbsp butter. I WOULD suggest diluting the soup with perhaps 1/4 C milk or even chicken broth as the mixture seemed a bit on the thick side and I would like it thinner by just a tad. Otherwise, excellent recipe which I will be making again as I keep all these things on hand!

Orange Roughy with Citrus Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2009
This was really good. I'm not much of a fish fan, but with a mild fish like roughy and this wonderful sauce, this was great. I didn't have but 1 lime, so the rest of the 3Tb I made up with the orange juice. That might have kept it a bit milder than intended. I also didn't have green onions, so chopped some red. Everything else was as directed. I served it on a bed of couscous with a side of steamed broccoli. I WILL be making this again.

Crispy Fish Fillets

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2008
I bet this would have been better fried. I baked it, to make it a little healthier, at 450 for about 10 minutes. It came out crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, but a bit bland in flavor. I think next time I'll add some spice to it, perhaps Old Bay Seasoning, as has been suggested here.

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Sep. 16, 2005
I know lots of people have rated this recipe but I have to put in my 2 cents! They are wonderful, and amazingly easy to put together and better than a box recipe. More or less powdered sugar can impact the dryness of the icing, but if that happens, all that's needed is an extra tablespoon of melted butter or a T of milk to loosen it up. Then it's plenty easy to spread, especially if the brownies are still warm. They really are the best!

Ranch Crispy Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2005
This was pretty good. I did add the paprika as other cooks suggested, which helped the color. I also doubled up on the bread crumbs as the Ranch seasoning would have been a bit salty for us, otherwise. My husband liked it as did I. To help prevent the chicken from sticking, I sprayed a little Pam on the pan and that seemed to help. Nice that it was so easy!

Craving Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2004
I made these cookies because I needed to get rid of an overripe banana and my husband loves peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Their texture is wonderful. Lightly crisp outside, and chewy inside. Unfortunately, hubbie wasn't overly impressed with the flavor. I thought they were pretty good if not a bit odd. It seems the tastes of banana and peanut butter are fighting for dominance! And the chocolate chips at only 1/4 C, are hardly enough to matter. I would either leave them out or put in a 1/2 C instead. I didn't mind them, nice to have something sweet around, but probably won't make them again.

Herb Roasted Pork Loin and Potatoes

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2004
I made this last night and it's a keeper. Changed the amount from serving 8 to serving 2. Couldn't find a 1 pound loin roast so I used a 1 lb. tenderloin instead. This changed the cooking time for everything by about half. 25 minutes for the first stage and 25 minutes for the second. It worked beautifully.

Banana Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 9, 2003
These are wonderful and easy! I have a convection oven so I dropped the temp. to 325, but other than that, followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. I was looking for something a bit more like a heavier dessert bar, this was more cake-like, but it still got rave reviews from my husband and friends.

Jewish Coffee Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2003
This is a wonderful coffee cake! I too opted for the brown sugar instead of the confectioners. Also used light sour cream. The batter is very thick so it's a little difficult to spread especially when spreading the final layer atop the crumb mixture. But it turns out incredibly moist and LIGHT! Checked it at 35 minutes... let it cook 5 more and it was perfect. Cooled for 10 minutes before cutting. I'll be making this again!

Carrot Cake III

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2002
This recipe was incredible. After a box mix went awry, I turned to this terrific site to find a scratch recipe and decided to try this one. Scrumptious! Like some other bakers, I made a few substitutions and additions: instead of using 1 1/4 C oil, I used 3/4 C oil and 1/2 C applesauce; instead of 2 C white sugar, used 1 C white and 1 C brown; used walnuts instead of pecans and added 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. I used 2 9-inch greased and floured cake pans. I made this a week before Christmas, so I popped it into the freezer, taking it out to thaw the day before it was needed. It was like it was fresh baked! Then I made the frosting, using 3 C of confectioners' sugar instead of 4. The flavor was heavenly and I still had some left over. Everyone in the family gave rave reviews and had 2 pieces! The cake was gone by the next day. I will make this a Christmas tradition.
