Celery Wine Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009
The flavor of this dish turned out to be quite nice, and it was a pleasant change from other recipes. I took the advice of other cooks and cooked it uncovered so that it wouldn't turn into a "soup." I'm very glad I did that. I also followed advice to brown the chicken first, then reduce the cooking time in the oven.

Bacon for the Family or a Crowd

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009
I love this! It beats out the microwave and stovetop pan methods by far. From here on out I will cook bacon using only this method! The only thing is that we found it may take 20 minutes depending on the thickenss and number of slices you're trying to cook at once.

Asparagus Quiche

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009
I am giving this a rating of 4 based upon my husbands comments. I detest asparagus and never tasted this quiche, but he loves the vegetable and said this dish was great!

This was very interesting, and pretty good, too! I'm not sure that I would make it again, but it was a nice to have something different.

Grandma's Applesauce Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009
This was a really good cake and the family loved it! The only thing is that it needs to cook for just a tad longer. I don't know much about the difference between applesauce cakes and spice cakes, but this one tasted very much like a spice cake. It the applesauce added only for moistness?

Ham and Fresh Basil Pinwheels

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2009
I am giving it a 4 after having made one roll as written. It was quite good! Then I decided it needed a few things changed. I added just enough concentrated garlic into the cream cheese to give it a good, subtle flavor. I also added in provolone cheese and sliced turkey along with the ham (I used Black Forest). I wasn't shy with the basil, and they turned out really good!

Baked Whole Cauliflower

Reviewed: May 26, 2009
On the whole, this was good and made an impressive presentation. But it needs to cook much longer than what is stated, as mine ended up being still rather raw in the middle. It would also need to be cooked at a slightly lower temp to keep it from burning. The other issue is that it's difficult to make the topping stick, especially on the sides, and it falls off easily when cutting. Even though you wouldn't get the "wow" factor with presentation, it would probably be easier to cut it up into florets, sprinkle the topping over it, and then cook. It will cook more evenly and you will get more of the topping in each bite.

Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2009
We made the sauce as written and it was really good! When we tasted it before cooking with it, we thought it was going to be too strong. But once it has cooked with the chicken, the flavor mellows out a bit and is so good. I think this will become our "go to" sauce! Like other reviewers said, double the sauce. We cooked only five chicken breasts and there wasn't any left over (dipped the chicken in, then used it to baste as they cooked on the bbq). Next time I think I'll try adding in sauteed onions as well.

These cookies are wonderful! They stay soft and chewy, and no changes are needed.

Zucchini Pasta II

Reviewed: May 29, 2008
This was really good, and the family loved it - even the kids! I doubled the zucchini and chicken mixture (except for the stock) and used 3oz cream cheese. Worked well for 8oz of pasta. The cream cheese came through subtly w/o overpowering the dish.

Parmesan Garlic Bread

Reviewed: May 29, 2008
This was really good! It wasn't overpowering, yet the flavor of the herbs came through wonderfully. I will be using this from now on! (I used this mixture over potatoes that I cut in half lengthwise, scored the tops in a criss-cross pattern, and baked at 400 degrees until done. Was great!)

Banana Cream Pie Made Easy

Reviewed: May 29, 2008
This was indeed very easy and quick to make. I didn't add the bananas as fresh slices always seem to look so bad after the pie has been cut into. Instead I sliced them over the top of individual pieces of pie just before serving. I also left out the crushed ice step and it was fine. But I gave this only two stars because it tasted like Jell-O banana pudding, only in a crust.

Cheesecake Topped Brownies

Reviewed: May 11, 2008
These brownies were very easy to make. However, the taste just wasn't there. They weren't very sweet, and ultimately tasted like a box mix with fake frosting on top.

Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 4, 2008
This dish was amazing! The flavor hits your mouth the moment you put a bite in. I cut the cayenne down to 1/2 tsp and there was still enough spice to make it lively. I used 16 oz regular spaghetti and should have doubled the sauce. The recommendation to use more Parmesan is right on. Plus I used two heaping tbs of pre-minced garlic. I added diced chicken and shrimp to make it more hearty. Will definitely be making this again!

Alfredo Mostaccioli

Reviewed: Apr. 1, 2008
After mixing the sauce with the pasta, let it sit for a bit and it will thicken. The dish was easy to make and came together quickly, but just really didn't have much taste. It needs a lot more of the spices added to it, such as garlic, pepper, red pepper flakes and parmesan, as well as a protein such as shrimp or diced chicken and mushrooms.

Quick Cheeseburger Pie

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2008
This recipe was quick and easy, and the kids loved it. Hubby thought it was good, but could use some extra flavor. I used an unbaked, frozen, pre-made pie shell, cooked it halfway, added the meat mixture, then baked the whole thing for 15 min as stated. I also browned the beef, onion and garlic all together rather than in stages as the recipe suggested. Both changes made preperation much faster. I added in Worcestershire sauce and Hamburger Seasoning. Will be making again, but need to find something to amp up the flavor.

Italian Meatball Sandwich Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2008
This turned out much better than I thought I would. I thought that the bread would be soggy, and it wasn't at all. The only thing I would do is put in less mayo as the flavor of it seems to take over. I had to put in a lot more seasoning to balance out the taste. I spread the cream cheese mixture over the bread first before cutting. Didn't make sense to spend time tediously applying it to each little cube. Also, next time I would make the meatballs a bit smaller so there would be more of them. All-in-all the dish was quite cook and the family really liked it.

Chicken Casserole Mississippi

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2008
All around a very good casserole. The family loved it! I ended up by accident mixing the sour cream into the caserole rather than the crackers, and it turned out great. Couldn't imagine mixing it with the crumbs.
