Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2009
Great! I was concerned because it smelled "ketchupy" while cooking, but the flavor was great. I used a ton of red pepper because I like it hot. I doubled the recipe, and even then I consider that to be 1-2 servings, so plan accordingly.

All American Roast Beef

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2009
After 90 minutes @ 375, my 2.8 pound roast has an internal temperature of 120 degrees F. Oven and temperature probe are both calibrated and accurate. Thanks a lot.

Herb Rubbed Sirloin Tip Roast

This was just okay. Anyone who compares it to prime rib hasn't had prime rib in a while. :)

Big Al's K.C. Bar-B-Q Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 21, 2008
I just made this for the first time, and it will replace my current "favorite" BBQ sauce. It's excellent. I didn't change a thing. I'll be using this a LOT. Thanks Big Al!

Pot Roast in Foil

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008
This is the best use of bottom round I've ever tried. I used 2 cans of soup as suggested, but didn't make any other changes. The meat came out perfect and I overate. Will make this again and again.

Amber's Sesame Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008
Absolutely fantastic. As most people, I made some changes. I added a teaspoon of cornstarch to the flour mixture, and got the perfect coating when fried. Also, only 1/2 c flour is needed for 1 1/2 pounds of chicken. I left out 5-spice because I hate the licorice flavor, and substituted ground ginger. Finally, as almost everybody seems to agree, this needs much more sauce. I used 12 TBS teriyaki and 8 TBS honey, and it was just the right amount. If you want sauce to cover rice as well, you'd need even more. Instead of mixing the sesame seeds in, I sprinkled them on the finished dish so they would stick to the sauce. Also, I left out the crushed red pepper because of the kids, but I put it on my own serving and it was the perfect complement. This will be one of our favorite recipes, and I have a feeling my wife and I are going to fight over the leftovers for lunch.

House Fried Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2008
I'm still searching for a way to get restaurant-style fried rice at home. This wasn't it. This recipe is totally bland and flavorless. I usually don't change a recipe the first time I make it, but I wish I'd added ginger and rosemary. There was one positive thing I got from this recipe, and that was using day old rice. It got the texture one step closer. But still, this needs flavor.

Easy Chocolate Cupcakes

Reviewed: May 11, 2008
THis was good. I made a couple of alterations, but not many. I changed the fat to oil after watching an episode of "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" on cupcakes and her (of course, he battled a woman!) secret ingredient was oil in the batter for a lighter brownie. I also added 12 oz chocolate chips, since my boys were begging me to make chocolate, chocolate chip cupcakes.

Chicken and Corn Chili

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2008
I make a double batch of this about once a month. It's fantastic. But try this: mix this with some warm refried beans and use it as a dip for chips. Awesome.

Excellent! A keeper! I agree that it takes 50-60 minutes to become golden brown.

Creamy Potato Leek Soup II

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2008
This is a keeper. I just realized I bought half-and-half for this, but forgot to put it in! It was still great. I reserved half the fried leeks, pureed everything with an immersion blender, then added the leeks and bacon. Also, i used turkey bacon.

Fantastic! I made this for Christmas dinner. It was perfect. I couldn't stop eating it. I'll use the leftovers for sandwiches, maybe Philly Cheese or French Dip.

Salmon Cakes II

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2007
These were fantastic. A great way to use leftover grilled salmon. I used fresh Parmesan instead of cheddar. I was worried the cakes were going to fall apart, but once they were cooked on one side, the held up great.

Chicken Noodle Casserole II

Reviewed: Sep. 6, 2007
Excellent. The whole family loved it. I made some changes. I already had cooked shredded chicken, so instead of onion I used 1/2 tsp onion powder. Also, 1/2 tsp garlic powder. I left out the bread. Finally, I diced fresh carrots, boiled them for 6 minutes, and added frozen peas.

Mouse's Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2007
I've tried many mac and cheese recipes, and haven't liked any of them. This is by far the best. Perfect texture, great flavor. One thing: I wish I'd thought to put a cookie sheet under the casserole. It boiled over, made a mess of the oven, and smoked up the house.
