Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2009
We loved this one; I was a little worried about the beer, but it gave the soup a great flavor. We didn't bother cooking raw chicken breasts - instead we bought and shredded the meat from two rotisserie chickens so we wouldn't have to wait all day to eat it. We also sauteed the onion in a little olive oil to brown it and soften it up. It was really delicious, and the soup has a little kick to it. We'll definitely make this one again. We topped ours with crushed baked tortilla chips and low-fat sour cream, and it was delicious.

Chewy Peanut Butter Brownies

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2009
This is honestly one of the best recipes I've ever found on this site; they turned out wonderfully! I subbed butter for the margarine and added a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and it was great. I made the mistake of leaving them alone with my husband, and now half the pan is gone! Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

Sausage Casserole

Reviewed: Jul. 20, 2009
We really liked this recipe. The flavors were excellent. It would be a great dish for a brunch or to take to the office. The only thing I might change is to cook the potato crust on its own to get it to crisp up and brown a little bit before adding the rest of the ingredients. I like the idea of using hash browns to save time. We would definitely make this one again.

Sirloin Steak with Garlic Butter

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009
I don't know what I'm missing. Ours didn't have much flavor. I thought with all the garlic that it would be a little more flavorful.

Fruit Pizza I

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009
Wow, this was so good! We loved the cookie crust. Don't miss out by using pre-made cookie dough; it's easy to make and only takes minutes - really worth making from scratch. To me, the crust is what makes it so delicious. We didn't have a pizza pan, so I used the bottom of my springform pan, and then set it all on a cookie sheet to bake. Worked great. We topped ours with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries - really delicious. We will definitely make this one again. I used reduced fat cream cheese, and it still tasted great.

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2009
We liked this recipe, and the cinnamon was a nice addition. The texture came out a little rubbery for me though, and it was so moist that it was almost wet. We enjoyed it, but we like our banana bread to be a little sweeter. Next time I would sub pecans for the walnuts, and I think I'd add the cinnamon/sugar to the top as well. I love that it makes 4 loaves, enough to share with the office!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: May 24, 2009
These muffins were excellent. We couldn't wait to enjoy them warm right out of the oven; my husband loved them and promptly went back for seconds. I had one for breakfast the next morning, and they were even better than the day before. Next time I'll had pecans, just because I like them in banana bread and think they would taste great in this recipe. We will definitely make this one again.

Orange Crunch Cake

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2009
I loved the cake portion of this cake, and the crunch layer was delicious. I wasn't as crazy about the icing. I usually make icing from scratch, so next time I'd try a homemade cream cheese or whipped cream icing. I think the crunch layer would be great in a yellow cake with chocolate icing as well.

Banana Pudding IV

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2009
This was an excellent recipe. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I made it in a trifle dish, and it was very pretty. My husband loved it, and we will definitely make this one again. I wouldn't change a thing!

Beth's Orange Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2009
We liked these cookies. I added a little extra OJ concentrate to get a little more orange flavor. They were very soft, a little spongy, and cakelike. Next time I'll add some pecans. I'd like to experiment with making Key Lime or lemon as well.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2009
These cookies were very good. I loved the soft, chewy texture, and they had a great flavor. I used a mixture of dried cherries and golden raisins, and it was great. Next time I'll leave the cloves out - the flavor was too strong for us, and I'll throw in some toasted pecans for a little crunch. Thank you for a great recipe! Update: I made these cookies again and this time cut the cloves in half and added pecans - really wonderful. You can use dried cherries, cranberries, raisins, or golden raisins - all great. We really love this recipe.

Blackened Salmon Fillets

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2009
We liked this recipe, but it was a little too spicy and oily for our taste. I would make it again, but cut back a little on the heat and butter. It did have a good flavor.

Joy's Prizewinning Trifle

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2009
We really liked this recipe; my husband couldn't get enough of it, and he is not a fruit fan. I was afraid that the pudding mixture would have an artificial taste, but it was really delicious. We used pound cake because that's what we had on hand. Also threw in some blueberries which were delicious. Next time I'd leave out the kiwi, just didn't seem to go well with the other fruits. The banana and berries together were delicious. I didn't drain the pineapple, and would do the same next time just so everything is moist. We will definitely make this one again. Very easy to put together and a big hit! I used low-fat sour cream and low-fat whipped topping and could not tell any difference.

Double Chili Cheese Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009
We loved this recipe. It tasted so good and was really easy to make. Great for the Super Bowl. We subbed Mexican Cheese Blend for the Cheddar because it's what we had on hand and used jalapeno slices instead of green chilies because that's our preference. Also used reduced fat cream cheese and couldn't tell the difference. I will definitely make this one again and again.

Peanut Butter Fruit Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009
I thought this was pretty good. We made it both with and without the whipped cream and liked it both ways; it's much tangier without. I made my own homemade whipped cream since I prefer that to Cool Whip. My husband really loved it. I served it with chocolate graham crackers, honey graham cracker sticks, apples, and bananas. I think young children would really enjoy this too.

Lemon Square Bars

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009
We really liked this recipe, but for us the baking times were a little off. The crust wasn't anywhere near done after only 15 minutes; it was still white and raw. I cooked it about 7 more minutes to get it golden. The filling started getting very dark colored after 25 minutes, so I covered with foil for the last 5 minutes of cooking. They came out great, and my husband loved them. The crust has a very good flavor, but was hard to get out of the pan. May have been my fault for not greasing well enough. I topped the bars with powdered sugar, and they were a hit. I also added a little grated lemon zest to the filling for added flavor. I'd definitely make this one again.

Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2008
We really liked this one - nice flavor and texture. I'd make it again. It seemed like I ended up with too much topping; a lot of it fell off during the baking time. I served it with rice pilaf, and it went well together.

Eggnog Cheesecake III

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2008
This recipe had a nice flavor; it wasn't as firm as I expected but everyone enjoyed it. I used a cinnamon graham cracker crust and thought that was a nice combination. It did crack when I loosened the sides of the spring form pan, so I just topped it with whipped topping and sprinkled nutmeg on top. To be honest, I thought it would be a little more elegant. I'm a great baker, and people always fight to take my desserts home with them; no one wanted to take this home, so I don't know that I would make it again. It didn't really have the consistency that I associate with cheesecake, too soft. It was nice, but not a knockout, and for Christmas, I want a knockout.

Mint Chocolate Cookie Crunch

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008
I had my doubts about this recipe when I saw how it looked - I had a hard time getting it into uniform sizes, and the cookies were not very pretty, BUT they had a really good flavor, and my girlfriends devoured them. They joked that they were ugly, but they sure did taste good. Next time I would add a drizzle or roll in powdered sugar just to make them look a little better.

Gingersnap Pumpkin Cream Tart

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2008
We liked this one - the crust in particular was delicious. It was also extremely hard to cut, but it had a great flavor. I expected the filling to be more firm - it was almost like a thick pudding. I would make this again, but I probably wouldn't serve it to company.
