Original Irish Cream

Reviewed: Jan. 10, 2012

While definitely stronger and with less a hint of butterscotch than Bailey's (tasted side by side), this is an excellent recipe for fun & easy gift-giving. The whiskey really comes to the front when mixed with coffee, but best when sipped over ice. Multiple Christmas gatherings were brightened by repeated samplings.

Asparagus and Ham Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2011

Excellent sauce/binder, Helen! Thanks for adding a dish to our regular rotation, especially following holiday ham overages. We've used asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower, and prefer cavatappi noodles to rice. TIP: blanche the veggies in pasta pot the last few minutes cooking noodles to save time. Garlic bread & dry white wine knock this meal out of the park!

Bread Pudding II

Reviewed: Dec. 30, 2009

Simple and easy to follow. The water bath greatly improves the results. Following friend's suggestion I used italian pannetonne bread/cake and was thrilled with the results. Definitely will make again. Thanks!

Thai Chicken Cabbage Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 23, 2009

Followed suggestions of other posters and added garlic, cinnamon, ginger, celery salt, squash, +1 cup water. Had to use up some chix thighs so they added great flavor to the stock. Terrific soup but will add even more liquid next time to thin out.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Reviewed: Oct. 19, 2009

Made for my darling wife for Sweetest Day - Excellent result for my first ever apple pie. I added cinnamon & nutmeg but everyone was pleased. Even looked as good as its picture from the cover of my allrecipes cookbook. Thanks for the recipe.

Slow Cooker Carnitas

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

Really excellent & simple using a 6.75 bone-in pork shoulder. Following some posted reviews I cut the roast into 4-5 large hunks and tripled the spice mixture except for salt & cinnamon. Was able to spoon off the excess fat and the carnitas were juicy & flavorful. So far used to make fajitas, enchiladas & tortilla soup.

Fettuccini Carbonara

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2009

Very simple with great results. Had to make do w/o shallots and subst. 2% for cream. Topped w/ pesto chix breast for tasty, colorful & quick supper with a beautiful aroma (bacon, onion, garlic) which filled the house.

Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2009

Very simple recipe with excellent results. Not much banana flavor so I may use banana pudding and/or a dash of banana liquor next time. Added sliced strawberries on top which had the kids calling it the 'banana split pie!' First dessert gone at the birthday party this weekend. Thanks so much.

Sweet Potato Pie I

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008

Incredibly simple and great flavor. As suggested I used half brown and half white sugar, added some ground ginger & cloves, as well as topped with a few homemade pralines after baking. Even with storebought crust it won raves! Thank you, thank you!

Famous Pork Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2008

Not sure why this didn't turn out better. Used crushed croutons & dry Italian dressing mix mixed w/ parmesan cheese - but still flavor was less than expected. Breading worked out great but meat not tender. Good starting point and I'll certainly try again.

Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple Bites

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

Very popular and highly addictive. Depending on crowd I add 1/2 C of hot sauce to mixture. Also, have found is best to wrap so the fatty end of bacon is on the outside to best render/crisp up.

Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar-Coated Raspberries

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2007

Outstanding! Amazingly simple to make and the results were excellent. Made some in cupcake cups, others in 5oz. ramekins. Served on splash of vanilla custard/pudding with sliced strawberries.

Captain Crunch Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2006

Very simple & fast, defintely a nice change of pace from bread crumbs. I recommend placing the breaded chicken on a rack within a pan, but first spray rack with cooking spray. This will keep the entire coating intact better than placing in baking dish.

Fried Rice I

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2006

Excellent dish. I'll try some other suggestions and add shredded chicken. Omitted the bacon, but DID use bacon drippings as specified - great flavor. Added diced carrots.

Spicy Orange Beef

Reviewed: Nov. 6, 2006

Incredibly aromatic and wonderfully balanced flavor. After browning the beef I added sliced onions and peppers to saute a few minutes. Then added back the beef and followed the recipe as specified. Paired w/ Fried Rice - excellent!

Pull-Apart Bacon Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2006

Frequently requested, and always appreciated. Used Italian Dressing Mix instead of Ranch as personal choice - highly recommend it.

Baked Fruit Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 16, 2005

Like a fondue without the burner! I added crushed almonds on top and since I had plain cream cheese, I substituted dried pineapple, mango and papaya. Excellent with sliced apples & pears, tasty with crackers.

Mom's Italian Beef Barley Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2004

Fantastic "soup that eats like a meal" if ever there was one. I recommend adding a coup of red wine to add depth to the already wonderful flavor. Crusty bread a must on the side!

Enchiladas

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2004

Excellent beef/chix combo! Many have asked for the recipe, especially that of the terrific, creamy white sauce to use on any number of dishes. Great leftovers if they make it that long.

Mississippi Six

Reviewed: Oct. 28, 2004

While this dish generated the most curiosity, it was only reviewed as so-so. I'll try it again but make some changes suggested by other reviewers(shrimp, crawfish, etc.). Thanks for another creative option, Kelli!
