Double Chocolate Biscotti

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2009
I only gave this 4 stars, because they were just alright. I think it is my personal preference. I guess I just prefer Biscotti "not so sweet" They were good but for me not my favorite. I did everything like I should and I was in Biscotti mode, I made three separates receipes today, so I know what i am doing - yet these were very soft when it came to the second cooking and hard to flip you had to be extremely gentle when flipping them. They started crumbling. When they were finished in the second cooking, I just took the pans out and left them sitting on the counter for two hours, they seemed to have improved once they air dried.

Banana Cranberry Muffins

Reviewed: May 23, 2009
Well I was alittle hesitant about this seeing that I was making the Cranberry sauce first then adding it to the muffin batter. I honestly thought it would be to watery. But I made cranberry sauce and put it in a strainer (not a collander) for about 5 minutes then added it to the batter. They were fabulous. They were so moist (not soggy) and they tasted was much better then just adding cranberries ( I have done that before and they were alright) this was much more flavorful. Love the receipe and it is a keeper.

Salisbury Steak

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2009
I have to say even those these dig fall apart alittle, they were great. My kids loved them. They are so moist and tender as well, a far cry from a burger. To keep falling aprat to a min. I don't turn them a whole lot, the less I mess with them the better. I thought this was a cost effective receipe as well. Thanks

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2009
This was so good!!! So easy - I can't believe how nice it turned out. The only thing I didn't do was the beer and that was because my husband drinks weird dark beers that really may change the taste. I used chicken broth instead. It was great I will use it again - maybe for company, it was that delicious! Thank you!

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2009
It was very good, but my biscuits did not absorb all the liquid so it was alittle runny, but it was great. Iw ill try again and use more biscuits. It could be my crock pot, as it is larger, so maybe when putting water in to cover items, it was too much. I also used broth instead of water, so maybe that had something to do with it. But taste was very good.

Foolproof Rib Roast

Reviewed: Dec. 27, 2008
Well before I begin I want to say that the roast was good, but way too stressful. FIRST - everyone says "Do not open the oven" under no circumstances, BUT no one says what will happen if you do. The reviews, the receipes, nobody says what dreadful thing will befall you should you open the oven. I have cooked rib roasts before and never had a problem. I saw all the rave reviews, I even checked out Paula Deans site (someone mentioned it was there as well and it was) and thought this will be easy. There were hundreds of positive reviews. I have a three year old oven it works perfect. I bought a 4.75lb roast and followed all instructions to a tee. My husband and I both worked on this... Prepared, cooked it for a hour, turned it off after a hour, we had a meat themometer in place and 1.5 hr into the 3 hour window of "no opening" our meat was at 140 degrees (internal) So now I am freaking out as I have no idea what another 1.5 hrs will do let alone heating it up and cooking it again. So we took a chance and opened it to make sure our placement of the themometer was good, we then saw it was, and we decide to give it another hour and then we took it out of the oven (yes we opened and took it out) and heated the oven up and placed it back in and cooked it another 20 minutes. It was fine, tastes like a rib roast should, it was medium on outside and med rare inside. I can't see me doing this again and stressing out about ruining a $40.00 piece of meat. I know the majority of

Crescent Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008
As eveyone mentions, I remember these from being a kid. They are my all time favorite. really don't know why I don't make them more often. I tried the powdered sugar and granular as suggested, they all turned out great. They don't last long.

Raspberry Cheese Spread

Reviewed: Dec. 24, 2008
This was good, but not as good as I had hoped. Maybe I did something wrong. I gave it 4 because we did eat it all, it is just that my other cheeseballs seemed more popular.

Molasses Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008
These were great, I have been looking for something with this flavor for years. Someone made a Molasses Spice type cookie and gave them to our family as a gift a few years ago. They were so good. So glad I found this, so simple and a keeper.

Chicken and Black Bean Chili

Reviewed: Aug. 30, 2008
My family liked this, and it was a nice change from beef chili. I did make some changes as others did. I personally boiled the chicken earlier to save time and used the broth from the chicken instead of water in the receipe. I also cut back on the amount of water used, it made it thicker and seem more like chili and not a soup. I just added my spices in when adding the chicken. We also like things alittle spicer and added what we need to spice it up. Overall very quick and everyone ate it. I did not have the garlic roasted tomato paste, just used regular tomato paste.

Anna's Amazing Easy Pleasy Meatballs over Buttered Noodles

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2008
I give this a five because it was super easy, quick and my family loved it. I did as others did and tweaked it alittle based on what I had at home. I used cream of mushroom soup, beef broth and sour cream and it did in fact taste alot like my stroganoff. Everyone liked it and it was very quick - that is great!

Sarge's EZ Pulled Pork BBQ

Reviewed: May 16, 2007
At first I wasn't sure if I was thrilled or not, but my husband is the BBQ king, he loved it - thought it was fabulous. When I reheated it the next day I did not add any BBQ sauce to my sandwich and ate it just the way it was prepared and I also thought it was great, there is something to this easy receipe. We will be making this again, thanks!

Summer Squash Casserole with Nuts

Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2007
It was a hit, I mixed Zucchini and yellow squash and used Almonds because I had no pecans. It was a hit, everyone loved it and my son who never eats veggies, ate two large helpings. A keeper! Just a note, after boiling and draining the squash I was alittle worried when I mashed it with the butter. It became very wet or soggy, probably from the water in the squash, but it didn't change the outcome. It was a nice presentation as well.

Black Bean and Salsa Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2007
This is a great and easy receipe. It is so nice to say it is homemade soup and it is so easy. Like others I puree half the beans and keep some whole. I also change the "heat" of the salsa depending on who I am making it for. I have added ham, corn, onions, garlic. Everytime I have made it, everyone loves it. I usually serve it with cheese Quesadilla's. This is a keeper
